Connect students to the experience of history. Connect students to success in history. American History shows students that history is not just a collection of names and dates; but an ongoing story; which teaches us about the present as well as the past. Known for its clear narrative voice and impeccable scholarship; Alan Brinkley's best-selling survey text invites students to think critically about the many forces that continually create the United States. In a concise but wide-ranging narrative; Brinkley shows the diversity and complexity of the nation and of our understanding of its historyâ€â€an understanding that continues to evolve both in the events of the present and in our reexamination of new evidence and perspectives on the past. This 14th edition features a new series of Consider the Source essays; a brand new pedagogy program; four new America in the World essays; and extensive content updates that demonstrate how a new generation of historians and of historical actors continues to shape the American story.

This entire series is easy to read; with clear writing; and enough information to make you understand the era from different perspectives - and if I want to research further somewhere else; it is because something in the reading whet my interest. Love this series!0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Better than expected.By D. L. LoveAwesome; This book was in better condition than the one I have to replace for 1/3 the cost. It's a well enough written book that I'd like to someday own it for myself but unfortunately I have to return this one to my schools bookstore.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful.
