Making America: A History of the United States

Shaped with a clear political chronology, MAKING AMERICA reflects the variety of individual experiences and cultures that comprise American society. The book's clear and helpful presentation speaks directly to students, sparking their curiosity and inviting them to “do history” as well as read about it. For instructors whose classrooms mirror the diversity of today's college students, the strongly chronological narrative, together with visuals and an integrated program of learning and teaching aids, makes the historical content vivid and comprehensible to students at all levels of preparedness. Available in the following split options: MAKING AMERICA, Seventh Edition (Chapters 1–29), ISBN: 978-1-285-19479-0; Volume I: To 1877 (Chapters 1–15), ISBN: 978-1-285-19480-6; Volume II: Since 1865 (Chapters 15–29), ISBN: 978-1-285-19481-3.
