"Our teachers were very concerned about getting a new book for AP(r) US History, especially considering all of the changes to the test for the 2014-2015 school year. But as soon as our teachers began receiving their teacher's editions in the mail, the Henretta book has completely blown them away. Between the thematic approach in America's History, 8th edition and the intuitive LearningCurve software, our teachers can't wait for the new school year to begin. The book and program have been designed from the ground up with the new AP(r) US History curriculum framework in mind and it shows. This will be their survival guide for the new exam."

—Tim Johnson, Anne Arundel County Public Schools, MD

“I’ve been looking at textbooks and supplemental materials since the intent to update the course was announced in 2001.  I can definitely say that you folks are a whole year ahead of other publishers and what you have done with this textbook—always a great one to begin with—is genuinely remarkable.”

—Keith Wood, Murray High School, UT
 
"Compared to other textbooks for the AP course, America’s History has a strong set of ancillary materials, a well written test bank, and comprehensive digital tools. It is one of the best textbooks available, and I would encourage potential adopters to strongly consider it."

Its readable narrative contains enough detail and context for students, even those who struggle with history, and its strong analytical and thematic framework challenges the best students."

—Jason George, Bryn Mawr High School, MD

"America’s History is the best text I have found in my nineteen years of teaching. The narrative is fair and balanced, and addresses social, political, economic history, and provides lots of additional materials—maps, documents, chapter assessments. This makes it very approachable for students and very useful for me.”
