'This is the work of an engaged teaching scholar who has excellent judgement of what students in an introductory course need to know and of how to make it accessible. I am impressed as I read it by the command McDonald shows of great areas of scholarship and the zest with which he writes about challenging issues.' - Michael Warren, University of California, Santa Cruz
