About the Author
W. Travis Hanes III has been involved in the development of two high school world history textbooks - as general editor and primary author of one, and as chief content and organization consultant for the other - both of which the Thomas Fordham Foundation selected in a recent review as the best two textbooks in the field. His new online program goes beyond these books with updated and greatly improved content and presentation formats designed to address the widest possible range of student needs. Dr. Hanes holds both a master’s and a doctorate in modern history from the University of Texas at Austin and is the author of numerous scholarly books and articles. Currently teaching at several universities and colleges in Los Angeles, California, he has also taught in public and private high schools in California and Texas.
