The American Journey: Teaching and Learning Classroom Edition, Combined Volume

by David R. Goldfield, Virginia DeJohn Anderson, Jo Ann E. Argersinger

This highly visual survey of American history introduces students to the key features of American political, social, and economic history in an exciting format designed to ignite students passion to know history. The Teaching & Learning Classroom Edition of the highly successful The American Journey provides students with the most help available in reading, thinking, and applying the material they are learning in the text and in lecture. A series of pedagogical aids, in text and out of class study companions, as well as complete instructor presentational and assessment support make this text the perfect choice for those looking to make history come alive for their students. The path that led the authors to The American Journey began in the classroom with their students. The goal of this text is to make American history accessible to students. The key to that goal--the core of the book--is a strong, clear narrative and a positive theme of The American "Journey." American history is a compelling story that the authors tell in an engaging, forthright way, while providing students with an abundance of tools to help them absorb that story and put it into context. This text combines political and social history, to fit the experience of particular groups into the broader perspective of the American past, to give voice to minor and major players alike, because the history of America is in the stories of its people.

Haha. This is my APUSH textbook... The memories... Not quite sure how to rate it though. Guess I'll just leave it blank for now.

Totally Apush & Clep book. I'd say find something else online to read in addition to this book. This book reflects the history well, but it covers some areas too much and I lose focus.
