"The range and scope of this book is tremendous. The sections are well thought out, and each chapter includes a context-setting introduction, various additional pieces of material/documentary history, and general questions for discussion. This makes a great package for undergraduate teaching. Furthermore, the scholarship is current and the categories are very nicely selected." --Karen Dubinsky, Queen's University

"Altogether, an excellent book that I look forward to using in my courses." --Sarah Glassford, University of New Brunswick
