Features
Supportive pedagogical features provide students with a guided reading experience from beginning to end. Reading comprehension features and study tools include end-of-section questions that provide a quick review of key issues, and a revisited end-of-chapter section featuring chapter review questions; a detailed timeline; a chapter summary; and a “For Further Exploration” section directing students to resources for further research.
New to This Edition
A reconceived seven-part framework highlights the themes that help students learn. America's History's unique part structure organizes history into seven distinct eras, each period characterized by major developments and an overarching theme. By tracing thematic connections across a period, for example the political and social experiments surrounding industrialization, or the evolution of liberalism, America's History helps students to hone in on the important forces shaping each period; to make connections between chapters; and to understand continuity and change over time.
New interpretations reflect the way you teach. Mirroring the training and focus of contemporary historians, a new emphasis on political culture and political economy helps students to understand the ways in which society, culture, politics, and the economy inform one another. A sharpened continental perspective brings in a host of new material on Native American history, the environment, and westward expansion. And the authors pay increased attention to both gender and ethnicity throughout the text, including in a completely new chapter on the Civil Rights Movement.
An innovative, accessible new design and new digital tools engage today's students. Inspired by the look of contemporary news journals, the brand-new design of America's History will appeal to today's students. Created in collaboration with the authors and featuring strong headings, vibrant colors and motifs, and striking part-opening spreads with dramatic contemporaneous images, this inventive design will keep your students engaged and focused.
“I decided to adopt America's History for a number of reasons: The book has an engaging narrative that integrates social, economic, and cultural history with political and diplomatic history. I especially like the 'connections' sections which really help students make connections from chapter to chapter and theme to theme. This book also provides a thorough reconsideration of the post 1945 period that incorporates new scholarship and makes sense of the recent events of the new century. I believe America's History is the ideal choice for our students.”— Debrah Poveromo, State College Area High School, PA"I took AP Psychology and general Psychology this year in school and I loved it more than any other class I’ve taken so far. I really enjoyed your textbook with amusing interjections and compelling stories. It really
sparked my interest, and it is the only textbook I haven’t ever minded doing work from."
— AP Psychology Student
