"I have been teaching Western Civilization for almost twenty years
and have, at one time or another, assigned many of Spielvogel's
competitors. But once I adopted Spielvogel I have consistently used
it and recommended to my adjuncts that they do the same. It is the
best Western Civ. text on the market."
"Spielvogel�is the standard for Western Civilization."
"The author strikes a very good balance between being comprehensive
without drowning students in detail. � All of the chapters are
strong, which is a big reason that I use the book."
