Known for its friendly narrative style and careful blending of political and social history, Nation of Nations offers a balanced approach to teaching the American history survey course. The story presented by the authors reflects their belief that the American past can only be fully understood when linked to events worldwide. As a result of this view, Nation of Nations has become the leader in the integration of global material, done in a sensible and thoughtful way. This sixth edition features expanded coverage of environmental and pre-Columbian history by new coauthor Brian DeLay of University of Colorado at Boulder, as well as a completely redesigned map program, additional After the Fact content, and a new online version of the popular Primary Source Investigator.
