From the Back Cover

The American Nation, 13th Edition, Combined Volume
Mark C. Carnes
John A. Garraty

It took the voices and actions of many different people to produce the singular structure of the United States, and because of this, the country’s political history is intimately tied with its social, economic, and cultural development. In The American Nation, co-authors Mark Carnes and John Garraty explore this complicated and fascinating relationship between politics and people.

Long renowned for its elegant narrative style, The American Nation, Thirteenth Edition, retains its most significant strength–its rich and memorable prose. Paired with features such as “Debating the Past,” “Mapping the Past,” and “Re-Viewing the Past,” Carnes and Garraty explore the depth and complexity of the United States’ political framework, while making it easier for students to understand and explore.

New Features

• New chapter introductions tie the historical events of the chapter with contemporary issues, and offer a unique way for the text to show the relevance of history to students’ lives.
• Revised and updated scholarship throughout the book offers new perspectives while streamlining and sharpening the prose. Chapters 1-2 have been extensively revised to expand the discussion of Native American societies. Chapter 32 has also been significantly revised to bring this edition up to date.
• New Questions for Discussion are included in the “Re-Viewing the Past,” “Mapping the Past,” and “American Lives” features in order to spark class discussion and analysis or to prompt writing assignments.
• A new Glossary at the end of the text defines several important concepts, events, or phenomena highlighted as key terms in each chapter.

3.0 out of 5 stars what happened to maps?, October 6, 2005
By Gabriel W. Nemeth (lodi, california) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This American History book is a very good, but not excellent coverage of the History of the United States. The book is typical entry level college material. Historical information is either very interesting with good detail to boring and vague. Photographs, portraits, paintings, charts, and illustrations are abundant and beautiful helping to keep interest level moving. However, the book rapidly sheds its allure and interest. That is because it fails to deliver on providing enough, interesting and neccessary political and war detail maps associated with important major historical events.

A history book with only a few maps in my opinion can not be recommended. Maps provide important visual political and geographical illustrative information that words alone can not. Previous editions of this textbook included enough maps to statisfy the reader. And the maps are still available, but the reader has to enroll, for additional cost, into an internet online service called " [...]" to access the maps. The textbook is already way overpriced at $96.00 dollars. The textbook is a beautiful hardcover with over 900 pages, but most of the information was compliled 40 years ago with frequent updating editions to the present year. no wonder this adds to why the cost of college education is soaring.

The authors receive commendation for a generally well organized book covering over 400 years of complex historical information. However, as historians they sold out on the students of history by not supplying all the information needed (the maps!).

Even so this history textbook is one of the better ones available. However, if maps are important to you. You will be disappointed.

5.0 out of 5 stars College History Book, October 12, 2008
Though I am deployed, amazon.com made it possible for me to order my son's college books at a reasonable price. The books were in the condition described and delivered within the time promised.
