A solid, if unexceptional, accompaniment to the Making of the West textbook. It would benefit from the inclusion of more diverse sources, and from better contextualisation and glosses, especially on those texts related to the history of Islam. Students found those particularly hard to grapple with because they did not have the necessary cultural/historical background knowledge.
