"Épocas y avances is indeed innovative in its premise of teaching grammar and literature through history. It takes students beyond the typical dry grammar-book fare, all the while urging them to develop and practice a myriad of skills in an interesting and meaningful way. Importantly, as well, it prepares students for future, higher-level courses in history, culture, literature, and literary history, as much within a Spanish degree as in other areas of study."—Hispania

"I liked the concept of these materials. I think both culture and literature are very well blended in with the linguistic components. I find the contents very interesting and appealing to anyone, but more specifically to those who are taking cultural and literature courses as well. It's a fantastic book to familiarize students not only with the target language, but also with its historical context."—Professor Manuel Galofaro, Department of Romance Languages and Literatures, Hofstra University
"Épocas y avances provided textual and audio material that kept the interest of a superior independent study student focused for an entire semester."—Dr. Teresa R. Arrington, Department of Language and Literature, Blue Mountain College
"Combined approach to culture easy to adapt for use in different courses."—Dr. Teresa R. Arrington, Department of Language and Literature, Blue Mountain College
