Recensione:

The use of documents and images are the most compelling features of Out of Many, TLC ... The use of these also reflects current pedagogical trends emphasizing visual learning or tools and uses of primary sources.

            -Jeff Crane, SamHouston State University

 

The book has a nice, easy-to-read narrative style that is supplemented well with images and useful “extra” features such as American Communities. It is a very good text.

            -Julie Courtwright, TexasA&M University

 

...visually appealing and engaging to the students.

            -Robert B. Bruce, SamHouston State University

 

The broad-ranging, multicultural, multiethnic focus is this book’s greatest strength. This is what sets it apart from most other textbooks.

            -Brian D. Behnken, TexasA&M University

 

The single most compelling attribute of Out of Many, TLC is its smooth comprehensiveness. It is thorough without being overly simplified. Out of Many, TLC is user-friendly and very approachable for students.
