Customer Reviews

This isn't the book I ordered.

I ordered volume 1 of American History:a Survey, but got volume 2 instead. The descriptions also don't tell you what edition you're getting.

I was completely satisfied with my order, its a shame it did not come with the CD, though.

Reliable

I ordered a text book for a class because a paper was due very soon and the bookstore was out of the book. I was emailed when the book was shipped out and received it very fast! I was able to get the paper handed in on time, very pleased

well-written, well-illustrated social history

I am an English and history teacher currently working with high school students in the Czech Republic. This book happened to be in our library and it has become an invaluable resource for me in teaching American history in this very unique context. I appreciate that the author focuses on issues of race, gender, and class in addition to the presidents and wars of old-style history books. The layout of the book is visually appealing and it includes abundant and well-chosen pictures which I find useful for picture description activities (a great way to get language learners to interact with history!) The other advantage of this book is that it's sophisticated enough to be challenging to high school students, but not so difficult that English language learners get bogged down by the text. My students have found it interesting and motivating to read. Overall, I'm very satisfied.
