"America's History helps AP students: Grasp vital themes: The seventh edition emphasizes political culture and political economy to help students understand the ways in which society, culture, politics, and the economy inform one another. Understand periodization: America's History's unique seven-part structure, which organizes history into distinct eras, introduces students to periodization and helps them understand cause and effect, identify historical continuities, and track change over time. Develop the skills they need to succeed: America's History's hallmark analytical narrative and pedagogy help students synthesize what they've learned and interpret history for themselves."-- Back cover Descrizione del documento: Auch als digitales Schulbuch erschienen Auch in 2 Teilen erschienen Descrizione fisica: xxxv, 1010, D-18, A-18, G-11, C-4, I-69 Seiten Illustrationen, Diagramme, Karten 29 cm ISBN: 9780312387938 0312387938
