Nation of Nations

I was very pleased with the book that I received. It had a few delays coming but over all I was happy with the condition, and I have found nothing to be wrong with the book, and I will definitely order from this seller again!

About as good as it gets...

For American History textbooks today, this one is about as good as it gets. It is not perfect, mind you, but as a veteran history teacher, I can tell you that I have come across a good number of textbooks with glaring factual errors (the AGS World Geography and American Government books come to mind). This one has no obvious factual errors. I have discovered that one of the best indicators of a good social studies textbook is how economics is covered. This one gives a fair and logical coverage to economics topics. There are no glowing references to Che Guevara, so its one step in the right direction right there.

History for the people.

This textbook is written where the average person can grasp an understanding of history. Very well done.

Coolest history book ever!

I was never really interested in world history or any other kind of history but American History. I think America has the most interesting history in the world! I love this textbook because it makes learning easier and straight to the point. In fact, this year I am actually loving history! I mean, the Constitution and everything is wonderful and this book makes it easy to understand. The authors must of spent a lot of time writing this textbook because it is so easy and i love looking into it! oh, one more thing i wanted to say to the authors - "Thanks for making history fun this year, you guys are the best textbook writers ever!"
