Download or read book American History written by Alan Brinkley and published by McGraw-Hill Humanities, Social Sciences & World Languages. This book was released on 2003 with total page 540 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This text provides students and instructors with an account of the American past in which no single approach or theme predominates. The text has included an account of American political and diplomatic history. Today, however, the book explores areas of history such as social, cultural, urban, racial and ethnic history, more history of the West and South, environmental history, and the history of women and gender. In addition, American history has not evolved in a vacuum, but as part of a larger global world. This text places American history into that global context, making connections for students who live in an ever-expanding world themselves.
