America past and present divine 9th edition

America Past and Present integrates the social and political dimensions of American history into one rich chronological narrative, providing students with a full picture of the scope and complexity of the American past. Written in a lively narrative style by award-winning historians, America Past and Present tells the story of all Americans—elite and ordinary, women and men, rich and poor, white majority and minorities.

The authors, all active, publishing, and award-winning historians, bring history to life for introductory students in America Past and Present. The text does a good job of incorporating new information and preceptions into the historical narrtive without taking away from the standard history of various time periods. The authors do an excellent job of integrating social and cultural issues without over-burdenig the student reader.

It is a highly readable text, and an easy one fo teach from in class. The content balances strict chronology with good topical coverage and depth of coverage. I believe the book has one of the best structures and provides just enough social history but remains focused on the course of key events and persons.

This book has such a great variety of online resources for the instructors and excellent online supplementary materials for the students. It makes my job much easier, knowing that as i advance through time in my class lectures, students can follow along in the textbook in a logical sequence with the much appreciated timelines in each chapter.
