Description
Helps students understand how diverse communities and different regions have shaped our past.
Out of Many weaves the stories of the American people and their nation into a single compelling narrative. The authors examine the complex historical forces shaping people's lives at various moments in the past and use the communities theme to discuss the relationship between the everyday lives of Americans and larger events that have shaped American history. This is also the only American history text to take a continental perspective, encouraging students to appreciate the great expanse of America and understand that American history has never been about any one particular region.
Out of Many: A Concise History of the United States, is a concisely formatted version of Out of Many, 7th edition. It features MyHistoryLab Connect, which integrates primary sources, maps, audio, videos, and activities from the MyHistoryLab Web site directly into the chapters of the printed text for a complete learning program.
