The Harvey Goldberg Series
- Understanding and Teaching the Age of Revolutions. Edited by Ben Marsh and Mike Rapport. Madison: (The University of Wisconsin Press, August 2017).
“This insightful, timely, and genuinely useful volume surveys the latest scholarship, suggests provocative ways to think through the subject, and offers helpful resources for teachers at both secondary schools and universities.” —Andrew M. Schocket, author of Fighting over the Founders: How We Remember the American Revolution.
In the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, struggles for emancipation—whether from royal authority, colonial rule, slavery, or patriarchy—inspired both hopes and fears. This book, designed for university and secondary school teachers, provides up-to-date content and perspectives, classroom-tested techniques, innovative ideas, and an exciting variety of pathways to introduce students to this complex era of history.”

- Understanding and Teaching the Cold War. Edited by Matthew Masur. Madison: (The University of Wisconsin Press, February 2017).
“A superb collection of authoritative, imaginative, and even provocative essays on teaching the history of the Cold War, effectively merging historiography, methodology, and innovative use of primary documents.”—Jeremi Suri, author of Henry Kissinger and the American Century.
For nearly a half century, from 1945 to 1991, the United States and the Soviet Union maneuvered to achieve global hegemony. Each forged political alliances, doled out foreign aid, mounted cultural campaigns, and launched covert operations. This book is designed to help collegiate and high school teachers navigate the complexity of the topic, integrate up-to-date research and concepts into their classes, and use strategies and tools that make this important history meaningful to students.

This book provides vital insights and concrete strategies for teachers at every level and will dramatically improve the way that American slavery is taught.
