Customer Reviews

Great intro... Creative teachers can make it a success

I use this text book in my US History class, which is required for juniors in California. I find the book to offer information about American History in a way that is palatable to students and workable for teachers. No textbook is perfect! A teacher using this textbook cannot expect the book to do all of the work. I have been creative in my teaching methods using this book by incoroporating discussion, modern film, additional primary resources, modern music lyrics, etc... Additionally, I have students apply what they have learned about American History in semester and year-end projects. To sum it up... the book is not everything and not perfect, but can work extremely well with an effective teacher.

Not what I asked

I asked for the Seventh edition and they sent me the Sixth edition, it is a good book, but it is not what I asked for. I compared them both and they are not the same.
