To develop U.S. History we solicited ideas from historians at all levels of higher education from community colleges to Ph.D.-granting universities. They told us about their courses students challenges resources and how a textbook can best meet their and their students’ needs.
The result is an app that covers the breadth of the chronological history of the United States and also provides the necessary depth to ensure the course is manageable for instructors and students alike. U.S. History explores the key forces and major developments that together form the American experience with particular attention paid to considering issues of race class and gender.
The pedagogical choices chapter arrangements and learning objective fulfillment were developed and vetted with feedback from educators dedicated to the project. They thoroughly read the material and offered critical and detailed commentary. Reviewer feedback centered around achieving equilibrium between the various political social and cultural dynamics that permeate history. The outcome is a balanced approach to U.S. history considering the people events and ideas that have shaped the United States from both the top down (politics economics diplomacy) and bottom up (eyewitness accounts lived experience).
