Features
The Value Edition provides a high-quality text at an unbeatable price. For an enjoyable reading experience in print, the Value Edition provides a two-color, trade-size text featuring the unabridged narrative and select images, maps, figures, and tables. Online in LaunchPad it includes much more—the abundant full-color maps, images, and primary source documents from the full-sized text enrich the narrative, and a wealth of assignment and assessment tools allow instructors to foster and measure the learning outcomes they wish to emphasize in their courses. With the Value Edition, students and instructors will get all of the history they need at a price they can afford.
A U.S. history narrative constructed from multiple perspectives helps students to appreciate the variety of ways people experienced the past. True to their plural title, Hewitt and Lawson present an inclusive view of American history that shows how events at the national level, shaped by elite political and economic leaders, directly affect the lives of ordinary people, and how actions at the local level affect decisions made at the centers of national government and commerce. By examining multiple angles of American history, students will better understand how the impact of events means different things to different people and constituent groups.
The authors are respected scholars and experienced teachers you can trust to elevate discourse and engage students. Distinguished scholars and expert U.S. survey teachers Nancy Hewitt and Steven Lawson bring extensive teaching experience and a strong command of the scholarship to help them choose not only the most important stories of American history but also place sources most likely to engage students at the center of the course.
Achieve Read & Practice helps your students succeed. Free when packaged with the book, Achieve Read & Practice is the marriage of our LearningCurve adaptive quizzing and our mobile, accessible e-book, in one easy-to-use and affordable product. Read & Practice is easy for students and instructors to use and the LearningCurve quizzing within gives students a fun way to test their understanding of the reading. When Read & Practice is assigned, students come to class having read the materials and their course performance improves.
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 Achieve Read & Practice and LaunchPad, and the system’s analytics will show how your students are doing with the reading so that you can adapt your teaching 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’s 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, as well as the most affordable and easiest-to-use interactive e-book option, Achieve Read & Practice, which pairs the mobile and accessible Value edition e-book with the adaptive quizzing of LearningCurve.

"The writing style is very approachable, and should have broad appeal across college campuses."
—Gregory Culver, Austin Peay State University"This textbook is just challenging enough for our community college students and easily adaptable to fully engage our more gifted students in critical thought. The clear balance of materials enables me to fully incorporate the full range of pedagogical approaches (V.A.R.K. methodology). I highly recommend this book."
—Gary Donato, Massachusetts Bay Community College"The best new approach I have seen in a U.S. history survey textbook in some time."
—Donald R. Shaffer, American Public University System
"This book does what we have been trying to do in the classroom for years and does it in a way that will make you want to actually use the textbook instead of just asking students to read it."
—Uzoamaka Anyiwo, Curry College
"Students tell me this book has helped make history real for them."
—Lacey Holley-McCann, Columbia State University
"LaunchPad’s integration of book and online assignments is strong. Its LearningCurve application allows students to immediately test their retention of the material and link back to the specific text if they are unsure, and it provides a means for instructors to monitor the reading and retention of students throughout the course."
—Gabrielle Everett, Jefferson College
