History

As a professor of history, selecting the right learning materials can make or break your course, especially if you are teaching a survey course to a large number of non-history majors. If you have difficulty finding a textbook that provides just the right amount of information for your course, perhaps you should consider creating a customized set of learning materials. The ability to select only the topics you wish to cover in a course can take away the intimidating nature of a history tome by turning it into a manageable, portable format. Adding your own supplemental information, such as primary source materials, timelines, and maps, often becomes a necessity when teaching any history course.

Nelson Custom Publishing makes these options a reality through its work with sister companies Nelson Canada and Wadsworth Cengage Learning. Together, we have created a database of information from which you can choose only the most appropriate information for your course. We can also help you publish your own original materials-a textbook, study guide, or other supplemental information-as a standalone product or bundled with a respected Nelson text.
