America: A Narrative History

Description

Since publication of the first edition, George Tindall's America: A Narrative History has enjoyed great success in college classrooms. The reason is simple: in a field crowded with expensive, oversized, taste-alike texts, Tindall's America offers instructors and students a choice. And that choice is even greater in the second edition: -Tindall's America remains the only leading text written by a single author (not a committee) who shapes American history into a story full of vivid characters and dramatic events. -Tindalls America remains the best buy in American history at a price well below that of the competition. -Tindalls America now includes as many text illustrations as any book in the field, all historically accurate and carefully placed to amplify the narrative. -Tindalls America now features a leaner narrative with themes more readily accessible to students. While every bit as readable a book, Tindall is now even more useful as a text. Tindalls America now offers new discussions of the ecology of the colonies, society and culture in the 1950s, the Reagan years, and a new, comprehensive Chronology of Events. ISBN:9780393956801
