Features

Achieve helps you do more than you can with print alone. Developed with extensive feedback from history instructors and students and backed by research and efficacy studies, Achieve for The Making of the West uses learning objectives linked to each piece of content as both a starting point for designing your course and as a window into your students’ learning journey. Achieve’s features provide many ways to track your students, from broad course-level reporting all the way down to the unit and subunit, and even individual student level. Achieve includes the complete narrative of the print book, the companion reader Sources of The Making of the West by Katharine Lualdi, LearningCurve adaptive quizzing that is designed to get students to read before they come to class, and a variety of assessment and assignment options that will keep students engaged.

A chronological narrative that helps students to see the big picture. The book’s hallmark chronological narrative weaves together the different strands of history—social, cultural, political, economic, intellectual—into one readable portrait of western civilization. Students are able to see the connections within a given moment and understand developments over time. 

An expansive conception of the West helps students understand today’s global world. The text places the West's emergence in a global context, explaining its position in the world today and emphasizing the role of borderlands and non-European regions in this process. It also offers a thorough treatment of globalization and sustained coverage of Islam throughout.

Environment Matters gives students a closer look at an aspect of environmental history that has helped to shape our world, including Roman sanitation (Chapter 5), the plague in Europe (Chapter 13), the Great Fire of London (Chapter 16), and the effects of war on East African forests (Chapter 25). Each Environment Matters box includes a visual and context, followed by Questions to Consider.
  • The Making of the West’s solid chronological framework has been brought to life with our new visual timelines at the start of each chapter, which enhance the development of chronological thinking skills.

"The Making of the West is one of the best textbooks I got a chance to peruse. This book exemplifies a new, student-centered, approach to teaching history. Nearly every page of this textbook contains a question (or two) that encourage and promote critical thinking and can be used by instructors and students alike to facilitate classroom discussions."
– Anna Biel, Fulton-Montgomery Community College

"This textbook serves as an excellent compliment to both lectures and assigned readings for both Western Civ. I and Western Civ. II. The structure of the book - including chapter preview, review questions throughout the chapter, and review section with suggested readings at the end - has proved to be a useful guide to my students, whether they are using the textbook as a secondary source in writing their essays or preparing for exams."
– Nerissa K. Aksamit, West Virginia University

"The Making of the West has a strong, chronological narrative that engages the student from the beginning of each chapter. The textbook also has numerous pedagogical tools including well written reading and review questions, maps, and timelines."

"The Making of the West has succeeded in providing the reader with a thorough understanding of the West by utilizing the most current research and global themes. The book is filled with detailed maps and useful data, yet it maintains a high level of readability."
– Allison Stein, Pellissippi State Community College

"The Making of the West’s expansive definition of the West, its inclusion of subaltern voices, and its discussion of the West as part of the broader world make it the perfect text for teaching students about European history as a part of global history."
– David Pizzo, Murray State University
