Product Description
Highly-respected for its impeccable scholarship and elegant writing style, American History: A Survey provides students and instructors with a comprehensive account of the American past in which no single approach or theme predominates. From its first edition, this text has included a scrupulous account of American political and diplomatic history. Today, however, the book explores areas of history such as social, cultural, urban, racial and ethnic history, more history of the West and South, environmental history, and the history of women and gender. In addition, American history has not evolved in a vacuum, but as part of a larger global world. The eleventh edition of this text places American history into that global context, making connections for students who live in an ever-expanding world themselves.

 More than expected! September 23, 2007

The book came in within 10 days, which is surprising for its weight. I was really excited to see it come in. When I opened it, it was more than I expected! There were no highlights or anything, and that's what I wanted. Although it's a little water logged, I still like it.
Thanks!

Alan Brinkley's "American History: A Survey" was the textbook used in my 11th grade A.P. U.S. History class. It was the first history book I was ever required to read that I actually enjoyed. Brinkley presents different viewpoints and can hold your attention. I would definatly recommend it for A.P. U.S. History teachers as well as U.S. History professors. If you read this book throughly and thoughtfully, you more than likely will make a passing grade on the APUSH exam.

I was never one to enjoy history much until my college history class used this book for the main text. I found this book great reading (interesting and kept my attention most of the time). I must say that after that class and this book, I have become much more interested in aspects of history. This book is wonderful and I would recommend it to any college professor of history or high school student with even a slight interest in history!

This is the most detailed and longest history book I have ever read. Although it is a tad too long for high school students, it covers a lot of infomation for the AP History test. For you AP History teachers, I would recommend that you should teach from this book. It helps prepare the students for their AP test.
