Henretta, Brownlee, Brody, Ware, America's History

Abstract

With every major publisher offering a survey text in American history, why should an instructor adopt this volume? Because it is very well organized, encyclopedic in content, utilizes several instructional strategies. and is accompanied by various supplemental materials that aid both the student and instructor in maximizing the book's educational potential. This easily read text, which covers the pre-Columbian Era through the conclusion of Reconstruction, has a "democratic" approach, "one not confined to the deeds of the great and powerful, but concerned also with the experiences of ordinary women and men."
