Great intro... Creative teachers can make it a success
I use this text book in my US History class, which is required for juniors in California. I find the book to offer information about American History in a way that is palatable to students and workable for teachers. No textbook is perfect! A teacher using this textbook cannot expect the book to do all of the work. I have been creative in my teaching methods using this book by incoroporating discussion, modern film, additional primary resources, modern music lyrics, etc... Additionally, I have students apply what they have learned about American History in semester and year-end projects. To sum it up... the book is not everything and not perfect, but can work extremely well with an effective teacher.

Sad.
This book is required for both sophomore and junior level US history, and it is terrible to say the least.
All matter of information is slapped together haphazardly to create an unappetizing blend of dry facts with painfully un-witty side comments added by the author of this monstrosity.
It is not organized in any fashion except chronological order.Unlike other better textbooks, by flipping to a page you cannot tell what chapter or subject you are in, and wallow in the fact that you have to read the incoherent jumble of ink on the page to determine it.
I am not looking forward to using it next year, it was extremely difficult to learn from and our teacher had to extract the information and return it to us in the form of notes.We rarely used it because it was so incredibly hard to follow.
Please avoid this book.

It SUCKS
This book is wicked hard to understand and follow!!! I am 17 years old and i am in a college prep american history class, and i dont understand. How am i supossed to learn anything if i cant read the words!!!

Nondescript and Poorly Edited
I am currently a first year high school teacher whose school has chosen Boorstin to for U.S. I and II.Boorstin's writing is unbelievably frustrating on so many levels.For advanced level students, the text is woefully incomplete.It seems clear that the author's focus was to be concise and simple; however what ends up happening as a result is that things such as causations and analysis are frequently left out.Advanced students will likely become frustrated over knowing the basic facts but not getting anywhere deeper - why did they happen?What historical debates have been had over the facts?

Ironically, my lower level students also hate the book and find it difficult to understand.Boorstin's review questions vary in difficulty between amusingly easy to impossibly hard - making many students apathetic about doing homework (even more than normal).In addition, Boorstin occasionally asks questions that are not referred to in the chapter.The editing in the book is seriously flawed.

The use of Boorstin's book puts the emphasis and burden of knowledge squarely on the teacher.Student-centered activities using the text become significantly harder (or, in the case of some new teachers, impossible) because there simply is not enough information provided to allow for students' opinions or creativity.Critical events in American history are left out - Bacon's rebellion for example is nowhere to be found.Other events, when covered, are woefully out of place - the Middle Passage is covered only two chapters before the Civil War!

Overall, Boorstin's text tries very hard to be a jack-of-all- trades, but fails to really satisfy anyone in the classroom.Avoid it. ... Read more

He can make her succumb to him. He can drive her to erotic heights she's only dreamed of. The only thing he can't do is force her to turn vampire and join him forever.

Product Description
Despite the many researches made on emergent strategies and project portfolio management, one can hardly find studies on the link between them. It can easily be assumed that emergent strategies and market dynamics have considerable effect on the project portfolio in organizations and, supposedly, give rise to emergent projects. This book will show the distinct characteristics and strategic impact of emergent projects, those untypical or irregular projects outside the mainstream of the current project portfolio, in large organizations. Justification for the distinctive nature of emergent projects will be based on a model taken from a previous study made on project categorization (Crawford, 2006). The model will be used to show the distinct nature of emergent projects and to find the possible category for them before trying to justify the need for identifying the characteristics of "emergent projects". The analysis will shed some light on how to manage ?emergent projects' and should be useful, first of all, to project managers and executives of every kind and to those studying the effects of market dynamics on the application of project management in large organizations. ...

Purchase includes a free trial membership in the publisher's book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: Mary Elizabeth Thomas Peavey Brooks (November 1, 1907 - February 11, 2002) directed the United States Mint from September 1969 to February 1977. Brooks was appointed by President Richard M. Nixon, the third woman named to the post. During her administration, she oversaw the initiation of the Eisenhower dollar coin, as well as the redesign of Americas quarter, half dollar and dollar coins for the countrys bicentennial. She is also credited with saving the original San Francisco Mint building, known as the Granite Lady, by transferring it to the Treasury Department. The building, one of the few to survive the Great Earthquake of 1906, had been vacant since 1937 and fallen into disrepair. It is now both a National Historic Landmark and a California Historic Landmark. The city planned in 2002 to turn it into a museum to commemorate the historical significance of the U.S. Mint in San Francisco. Brooks received the I Left My Heart In San Francisco Award in 1974 from the San Francisco Convention and Visitors Bureau for her preservation efforts. In addition, Brooks was awarded the American Numismatic Associations Medal of Merit in 1988, and was the first woman to receive the Alexander Hamilton Award, the U.S. Treasury Department's highest honor. She was inducted into the University of Idaho Alumni Associations Hall of Fame in 1970. The university also conferred upon her an honorary doctorate in 1999. Brooks was born to John and Florence Thomas on November 1, 1907, in Colby, Kansas. Her parents moved to Gooding, Idaho, when she was an infant. Her father, John W. Thomas, was appointed a U.S. Senator from Idaho twice (followi...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=17908091 ... Read more
