American History: Connecting with the Past Volume 2 Description
Connect students to the experience of history. Connect students to success in history.American History shows students that history is not just a collection of names and dates, but an ongoing story, which teaches us about the present as well as the past. Known for its clear narrative voice and impeccable scholarship, Alan Brinkley's best-selling survey text invites students to think critically about the many forces that continually create the United States. In a concise but wide-ranging narrative, Brinkley shows the diversity and complexity of the nation and of our understanding of its history? an understanding that continues to evolve both in the events of the present and in our reexamination of new evidence and perspectives on the past. This 14th edition features a new series of Consider the Source essays, a brand new pedagogy program, four new America in the World essays, and extensive content updates that demonstrate how a new generation of historians and of historical actors continues to shape the American story.

I went to McGraw Hill trying to find some kind of digital content for this title for my daughter. Here is what I found. Basically, even if you want to hand them money, they will not take it. You can only get digital course material through the professor, and if he/she isn't doing it, you are SOL. I also went looking to see if anyone sold a PDF version of the book. All I found was a shady link on a filesharing website. Finally, I found something at CourseSmart where she can rent the book for 180 days... For $80! Crazy. An online, non-printed, non-physical book should not cost that much, especially a rental whose subject is freshman level. Of all the collegiate-level books I have encountered so far in the last couple of years, this may have the worst overall digital support. Dear McGraw Hill, if you are reading this, provide a way for students to independently obtain digital learning materials. Printed codexes are so 15th century.

As a student, I believe that the CONNECT online activities for this book are outstanding. They are much more effective than the online study aids I have utilized in other classes and with other texts. CONNECT is simply the best way to engage with history, and the exercises, quizzes, and critical missions greatly enhanced my learning experience in the classroom. They're interactive, and they're fun. I found myself remembering information and making connections that I would not have been able to draw up had I only read the text itself. A+++!
