America Past and Present. This item is unavailable.America Past and Present

Writing in a lively narrative style by six award-winning historians, America Past and Present tells the story of all Americans―elite and ordinary, women and men, rich and poor, white majority and minorities―the authors, six active, publishing, and award-winning historians, bringing history to life for introductory students.

In the new 8th edition of America Past and Present, the authors have streamlined the coverage in the contemporary chapters and added a new feature that explores the connections between the past and the present.

"This book is the most scholarly and well balanced American History book in the country. The authors' slpendid effort in condesning and arranging the material resulted in a narrative where each chapter was appropriately fused as well as each chapter being of sufficient length and properly titled. The text generates enthusiasm for the discipline and thus engages my students to pursue the study of history."

    - Wyatt S. Moulds, Jones County Junior College

"I particularly enjoy the charge of urging readers to "reach their own conclusions" about history and the significance of history in their lives. This approach makes the course comfortable to teach while allowing some latitude for discussion and the introduction or consideration of different points of view."
