This survey attempts to help US students put events in the history of their country in a global context. The book covers the social political, economic, legal and cultural aspects of history, and aims to take into account a wide range of modern historical opinion. This edition includes material on the Gulf War. There is also expanded coverage on the counter-culture and new material on the FBI's surveillance of Luther King. An instructor's manual and test bank is available.

"The American Century" is a succinct, well-written history of the United States in the modern (post-1890's) era. It is valuable for either the second half of U.S. survey courses or for 20th Century U.S. courses for upper class students. The text places special emphasis on economic and urban growth, social and political change, civil rights and liberties, and the growth of the U.S. into a global superpower. The specialization of each author contributes to an unusually strong balance of coverage. The authors handle both domestic and foreign policy issues and demonstrate the ways in which domestic and foreign policies are linked.

Product Description: Early American Women presents over 100 primary sources in women’s history. Throughout, the lives and experiences of American women from a variety of cultures from the colonial era through the nineteenth century are presented in rich detail.

This comprehensive synthesis of women's history from the 17th century to the present draws on the past three decades of scholarship in the field. Its unique paired-chapter format couples a narrative "episode" that vividly evokes a particular individual or event with a synthesis chapter that places each episode carefully within its broader historical context. This pairing of the concrete and specific with the general and historic creates the most compelling reading experience available in a survey of U.S. women's history. It's the only text that lets your students see, hear, and understand women making history. Now in a thoroughly updated Third Edition, which captures and reflects the most recent scholarship in this dynamic field and offers expanded attention to diversity and ethnicity.
