Product Description
This is the third edition of a U.S. survey text praised by adopters for its lively, engaging narrative style and its careful blending of political and social history. The authors believe that students will be drawn more readily to the study of history if they are presented with an engaging narrative of past events rather than with a mere encyclopedic compendium. The strong narrative approach helps students become engaged in the many human dramas that comprise our nation's history. The third edition is about 15 percent shorter in overall length. Its narrative has been streamlined, making it even more accessible.

 changing history August 3, 2005

How many new editions do you need. A fifth edition is now available for this book and I bet it is the same material repackaged with a slightly revamped "interactive CD" that no student will find helpful. Any book that costs over one hundred dollars must be full of useful information, until, of course, they become last years edition and they are no longer relevant. Books hold value like the latest cell phone technology...what a marketing skeem. Someone needs to help students since the Universities will not, and the teachers require these latest versions.
 Nation of Nations is a history book that reads like a novel. October 6, 1998
5 out of 6 found this review helpful
Nations of Nations tells the history of our country in a very tangible way that is accessable and interesting. It is a rare history book that focusues as much on the culture and the people from different time periods as the country's leaders and law makers. Which, when studying American History, is of the utmost importance.

NATION OF NATIONS VOLUME TWO: SINCE 1865 WAS A FABULOUS TEXT BOOK. THIS BOOK HELPED ME TO BETTER UNDERSTAND ALL ASPECTS OF THE INFORMATION WITHIN. AS A FRESHMAN THIS YEAR I HAD A HARD TIME ADJUSTING TO MY CLASSES BUT WITH THIS TEXT I HAD NO PROBLEMS UNDERSTANDING MY READING ASSIGNMENTS AND ENDED UP DOING VERY WELL IN THE CLASS. I RECOMMEND THIS BOOK IF YOU HAVE A HARD TIME PICKING OUT THE IMPORTANT PARTS OF A PARAGRAPH BECAUSE IT HAS GOOD OUTLINES. IT WAS A FANTASTIC TEXT BOOK!
