Cengage Advantage Books: Liberty, Equality, Power: A History of the American People, Volume I: To 1877, Compact (Thomson Advantage Books)
Compared to the five texts which I have used over the past 15 years, the Murrin text presents the most comprehensive overview of more themes than any of the others."It is a much better text [than other U.S. History texts]. It operates on a higher learning level and has a greater command of scholarship."The narrative for LIBERTY, EQUALITY, POWER is clear, balanced, and very interesting. It's written at a level that survey students can understand and find engaging. In a time when many texts promise balance and diversity, this one actually delivers."I really like both the History Through Film and the Musical Links to the Past. Both…are engaging tools for students and also allow instructors another method for bringing the past alive and directly to their students.
