Product Description

The Out of Many Teaching and Learning Classroom Edition brings together a wide array of assets to provide a completely integrated multimedia learning experience. This path breaking text weaves together the complex interaction of social, political, and historical forces that have shaped the United States and from which the American people have evolved by telling stories of people and of the nation and emphasizing that American history has never been the preserve of any particular region. The text's trademark continental approach has been expanded to incorporate a greater hemispheric perspective, while community and memory feature analyzes the role and the conflict of historical memory in shaping communities' understanding of the past. For individuals interested in United States history.

This review is from: Out of Many, Teaching and Learning Classroom Edition, Combined Volume (5th Edition) (Paperback)

This book is well organized and well written. It goes into great depth about American History; however, I do believe it be more for college students than that of high school students. This book probably would have been better had my history teacher had actually used it. She gave lectures and used the textbook for quizzes, which there were only 4 the entire semester! So I only used this book to look up a total of 20 questions! Other than that it is still a good book and what I read was pretty knowledgeable.

4.0 out of 5 stars Just Ok, December 15, 2008

By	V. Ulibas "VMU Books" (Sacramento, CA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I found certain chapters very well written and in depth, but if you read through the whole book you find that alot of paragraphs and chapters have contradicting information or tones that make it too obvious it was written by many writers. But you should get this book instead of the newer edition because the chapters are almost exactley the same except for new pictures.
