Description
This third edition of The United States: A Brief NarrativeHistory remains a basic, readable, and highly affordable core textfor the introductory survey of United States history. While notintended as the only resource for students enrolled in suchcourses, it remains the most concise U.S. survey on themarket—its length, approach, and price encouraging the use ofsupplementary readings, novels, research projects, and primarydocuments (many of which are available on the Internet) all for aprice that falls well below the list price of a traditional surveytext. In addition to taking the engaging narrative all the way upthrough the second decade of the twenty-first century, the newedition features new maps. Loyal users will appreciate that factthat the book retains its cultural literacy approach, its livelynarrative style, and highly effective highlighting of the names,terms, and concepts common to an educated person’sunderstanding of American history. Finally, its appendices comprisea useful, annotated text of The Declaration of Independence, theConstitution of the United States, and a list of U.S.Presidents.
