 Poor service and zero communication October 6, 2008

This provider never sent my item and never responded to the 4 emails I sent inquiring about a delivery date. The book was needed for a class and as a result of waiting the 3 week delivery window it created much dismay on our end. I would not suggest using this vendor as they did not respond to even the most courteous of inquiries and clearly have no regard for their customers. I hope that Amazaon will help resolve the charges on our credit account before we are forced to dispute them. In a nutshell the transaction was a huge dissapointment. If there was less than one star to assign to the rating I would have, however they do not allow a zero star rating.
 About as good as it gets... May 30, 2007

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.
 Too much information! April 4, 2006

My son's middle school is using this textbook. Though the authors have gone to a lot of trouble to provide pictures of the people and places they discuss, and though there are some compelling quotations and stories which COULD interest middle-school aged children, the text has entirely too much information. The authors attempt too much. This would be a good text for someone preparing to TEACH middle school, from which they could glean good information, but it is overwhelming to the student unless the teacher can focus and subordinate well. In our son's case, the textbook became a handicap rather than a help.
American Nation, less than great May 18, 2004

ok, whoever thinks this book is good is wrong. I'm taking History using this book and no one likes it. We have probably used it 3 times this year because even our teacher doesn't like this book. Don't you dare buy it, you'll regret it. REMEMBER NOT TO BUY THIS!
 Coolest history book ever! September 22, 2002
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!"
