BOOK STARTS WITH CHAPTER 16!!! WHERE'S THE BEGINNING?!?
I purchased this book and thought I was mighty lucky to have received it so quickly, brand new, with the cd and the notes for the price. I just sat down to start using the book for my online class (I'm already late in doing assignments) and THERE IS NO CHAPTER ONE, or two, or three, or EVEN FOUR!!!!! The books chapters do not begin until SIXTEEN!!!!
I'm going to vomit!!!!

Highschool History Text
Goldfield's American history textbook is the stereotypical text, with nothing exciting (as far as I could tell). I'm a history major, and for some reason my college professor assigned this clearly high school level book as our main text. It's a pretty brainless read, and I haven't been introduced to many newideas or pieces of history, unfortunately. ... Read more

Product Description
Book DescriptionThe Brief Edition of The American Journey was created by rewriting and cutting to condense text, and by using fewer photographs, maps, and charts to illustrate the text. Volume II of The American Journey, introduces readers to the key features of American political, social, and economic history from the reconstruction, 1865-1877 to globalization, 1965-1995, the Reagan revolution and the second Cold War. Written in a clear, engaging style with a straightforward chronological organization, it provides readers with a solid framework for understanding the past. It gives prominent coverage to the West and South and highlights the importance of religion in American history. It traces the emergence of distinctively American ideals and the way the conflict between those ideals and reality has shaped our nation's development. It brings alive the crucial issues and events behind the continuing effort of Americans to live up to their ideals. Compelling stories, ample use of quotations, and excerpts from primary sources bring the past vividly alive. Volume II encompasses the complete American history experience from reconstruction, 1865-1877 to the shaping of a new America, 1965-1995 and the search for stability in a changing world since 1980.

Excerpt: Edgar Allen Diddle (March 12, 1895 in Gradyville, Kentucky, United States - January 2, 1970) was a college men's basketball coach. He is known for coaching at Western Kentucky University in Bowling Green, Kentucky from 1922 to 1964. Diddle became the first coach in history to coach 1,000 games at one school. Diddle was known for waving a red towel around along the sidelines during his games. He was known to wave, toss, and chew on this towel, and even cover his face in times of disappointment.

college text
The price beats what most college bookstores charge. I always reccommend purchasing online it could cut the cost of the book in half. However if your going to purchase your college book online you should visit the college bookstore and find out what the instructor requires for the class a few weeks ahead of time so you dont get stuck paying for expedited shipping. ...
