The new edition of this classic text on modern U.S. history brings
the story of contemporary America into the second decade of the
twenty-first century with new coverage of the Obama presidency and
the 2012 elections. Written by three highly respected scholars, the
book seamlessly blends political, social, cultural, intellectual,
and economic themes into an authoritative and readable account of
our increasingly complex national story. The seventh edition
retains its affordability and conciseness while continuing to add
the most recent scholarship. Each chapter contains a special
feature section devoted to cultural topics including the arts and
architecture, sports and recreation, technology and education.
Adding to the readers' learning experience is the addition of web
links to each of these features, providing numerous complementary
visual study tools. These links become live, and illustrations
appear in full color, in the ebook edition. An American Century
instructor site provides instructors who adopt the book with high
interest features--illustrations, photos, maps, quizzes, an
elaboration of key themes in the book, PowerPoint presentations,
and lecture launchers on topics including the Versailles
Conference, the "Military-Industrial Complex" Speech by Dwight D.
Eisenhower, the Tet Offensive, and the prospects for a Second
American Century. In addition, students have free access to a
multimedia primary source archive of materials carefully selected
to support the themes of each chapter.
