Highly-respected for its impeccable scholarship and elegant writing style, "American History: A Survey" continues its strong tradition of balanced coverage of the social, cultural, political, diplomatic, economic, and legal aspects of American history. Popular features such as 'Where Historians Disagree' and 'Environmental History Essays,' have been revised and updated, the last two chapters have been revised and reorganized, and the supplements package has been enhanced and expanded. The most significant revisions in this new tenth edition focus on a considerable expansion of social and cultural history. This coverage, integrated throughout the text, is most apparent in all-new boxed features called 'Patterns of Popular Culture', which provide commentary on the changing ways in which Americans entertained, educated, and amused themselves through the centuries.
