Release of Lockard's world history
textbook is cause for celebration

The release of a new world history textbook by University of Wisconsin-Green Bay Prof. Craig Lockard was reason for celebration at the annual meeting of the American Historical Association in Atlanta this month. Societies, Networks, and Transitions, published by Houghton Mifflin, is the product of 10 years of research and writing by Lockard, professor of Social Change and Development and chair of the UW-Green Bay history unit. The textbook will be used primarily in college freshman and sophomore world history classes and high school Advanced Placement classes. Lockard's editors and colleagues joined him for cake at a reception hosted by Houghton Mifflin.
