Well, I guess there is a first for everything huh? I never imagined myself writing a review for a textbook, but here goes...
If you have AP US History, READ THIS NOW . This textbook is completely amazing. You can call me a nerd/dork/geek if you want, but if I could, I would probably buy this textbook and read for leisure the history of Americans in the 1920's or whatever time period I wanted. After having to read (insert name of European history textbook I had to read for AP European history my sophomore year), "Out of Many" is heaven. "Out of many" is a mixture of narration with facts and to not get you bored it has pictures on almost every page. Be glad, not every textbook adds color to their pages.
Used for AP US History class. Definitely interesting, but I prefer the AMSCO book, as it condenses the same set of information and makes it a lot easier to read.
Very good AP textbook. Written from a more liberal stance, it has excellent coverage women, minorities and issues of sexuality, but some of the major elections in the late 1800s and early 1900s get lost. I appreciate that the book covers up to Obama's election. The book has some odd omissions - Ex Parte Merryman, Rachel Carson, Operation Mongoose - and has an odd selection of "key terms." It's a great tool for teaching Advanced Placement, but needs a knowledgeable teacher.
