The Concise Edition features the full narrative of the parent text, select images and maps, built-in primary sources and skills-based pedagogy that gives students practice in thinking historically.

Features

A big picture, analytical focus helps students understand not just what happened, but why. With its hallmark interpretive voice and thoughtful analysis, America's History helps students make sense of the past so they're never left wondering what's important. A variety of learning tools from the beginning to the end of each chapter support this "Big Idea" focus, while fostering critical thinking and guiding students in their reading.

A unique nine-part framework highlights key developments. America's History's periodizes history into nine distinct eras, each characterized by major developments and an overarching theme. Each part features a Thematic Timeline with a "Thematic Understanding" question that helps students identify the important forces shaping each period, to make connections between chapters, and to understand continuity and change over time.

A comprehensive document program offers students practice in document analysis. Two types of primary source features in every chapter offer many opportunities for assignment and discussion: "America in Global Context" gives students practice in comparison and data analysis using primary sources and data to situate U.S. history in a global context; and "Thinking Like a Historian" asks students to analyze a group of documents and use the evidence to create an argument. Free when packaged, the new edition of the companion reader, Sources of America’s History, offers a wealth of additional primary documents.

An author team of leading scholars and veteran teachers make the best of the new scholarship accessible and relevant. Rebecca Edwards, and Robert Self, and Eric Hinderaker bring fresh perspectives, new scholarship, and in particular, an increased attention to native peoples and emphasis on global context.

Emphasis on developing historical thinking skills. Students will gain proficiency in historical thinking skills via marginal review questions that ask students to "Identify Causes," "Trace Change over Time," and "Understand Points of View." "Making Connections" and "Turning Point" questions in the chapter review section ask students to consider broader historical issues, developments, and periodization.

LaunchPad helps you do more than you can with print alone. Free when packaged with the book, LaunchPad’s course space and interactive e-book is ready to use as is, or can be edited and customized with your own material and assigned right away. Developed with extensive feedback from history instructors and students, LaunchPad includes the complete narrative e-book, as well as abundant primary documents, maps, images, assignments and activities. The aims of key learning outcomes are addressed via formative and summative assessment, short answer and essay questions, multiple choice quizzing, and LearningCurve, an adaptive learning tool designed to get students to read before they come to class. Available with training and support, LaunchPad can help you take your teaching into a new era.

LearningCurve ensures students come to class prepared. Tired of your students not reading the textbook? Would you like to know what they read and how much they understood—BEFORE they come to class? Assign LearningCurve, the adaptive learning tool created for your survey textbook in LaunchPad , and the system’s analytics will show how your students are doing with the reading so that you can adapt your class as needed. Each chapter-based LearningCurve activity gives students multiple chances to understand key concepts, return to the narrative textbook if they need to reread, and answer questions correctly. Over 90% of students report satisfaction with LearningCurve fun and accessible game-like interface. LearningCurve appeals to students so that they engage with the textbook, and it helps you to know what they know before class begins. 

A range of options offers convenience and value. In addition to the standard bound textbook, this edition is also available in convenient, discount-priced loose-leaf and e-book formats and in an interactive e-book format in the text’s dedicated version of LaunchPad, with all accompanying study resources fully integrated. LaunchPad is a complete course’s worth of material in a course space that makes everything assignable and assessable—and all for free when packaged with the textbook.  

New to This Edition

New secondary sources feature "Interpretations" brings historical argumentation into each chapter. Students read two short passages from scholarly works that offer different interpretations of the same event or period. By examining the passages side-by-side and responding to the questions, students learn how historians interpret evidence, weigh facts, and arrive at their conclusions.

Thoroughly revised chapters on the early republic and antebellum America (Part 4) draws on the most recent scholarship in the field and incorporates five chapters into four.

Revised chapters on the Gilded Age and Progressive Era (Part 6) provide greater focus on cultural change in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.

New section-review questions "In Your Own Words" help students articulate the main points of the section. 

New on-page glossary defines key terms to aid student understanding.

Revised and expanded chapter review sections help students grasp the chapter contents and make connections to other chapters, themes, and events in the textbook

New source-based questions in the test bank and in the LearningCurve adaptive learning tool in LaunchPad give instructors easier ways to test students on their understanding of sources in the book.

Questions in the online test bank can now be sorted by chapter learning objectives. This ability to sort allows instructors to test portions of the chapters, making it easier to see what major concepts students need to work on. The test bank is also tagged to the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board's Student Learning Outcomes for History 1301 (U.S. History to ​1877​) and History ​1302 (U.S. History ​Since 1865).  

This is a well-structured book that addresses important events and offers the viewpoints of the ordinary people who shaped history. The combination of text, images, timelines, primary documents, as well as a good selection of "small picture" and "big picture" questions appeals to various learning styles of students.
―Petra DeWitt, Missouri University of Science and Technology

America’s History is both informative and engaging. With its myriad attributes, ranging from digital interaction to theme analysis, America’s History is sure to please.
―Whitney Snow, Midwestern State University

This is an excellent textbook that is distinguished mostly by its sensitivity toward new perspectives on early American history. I like the way that it is organized and written so that debates and discussions within our fields and discipline are relatively transparent compared to the panoptic voices offered by competing U.S. textbooks. The special features are useful and well-edited, and I appreciate how they do not interrupt the main textual narrative.
―Michael Wise, University of North Texas
