Product Description Now in its Eight Edition, this general American history text emphasizes political history. Written by six eminent historians, THE NATIONAL EXPERIENCE exhibits a slight liberal slant. Well-used through its previous printing, this text takes a traditional approach to the study of history. | ||

A US History Bible This book is an acquired taste. It takes a lot of getting used to. I am currently in a US 2 AP class in highschool, and this book has all the facts about everything. We are required to read this book, as well as The American Pageant. The National Experience is the best. It isn't always fun to read, but if you need to know what really happened, then this is the book for you. | ||
Engrossing book This book was an intense read due to the high caliber vocabulary. Although, I would give four stars because the reader is satisfied with masses of information from the American History. You will need a dictionary and alot of time but it is well worth it. As a student in High School I would recommend this to higher level students whom desire to be an entrepreneur in history. Good luck! | ||
AP US-I This is the textbook for my AP US I class. It is extremely boring and does things such as not name the Boston Tea Party, skip around in terms of dates, and use ridiculous language. Some of my classes favorite phrases are: flim-flam alluvial river bottoms fecund soil sallubrious climate brow-furrowing | ||
AP US History I'm a sophmore in high school and I'm taking the Advanced Placement US History course. The book provides so much insight into the past; politially and socially, and gives first hand accounts and documents of the time periods. It is also a very helpful textbook when it comes to taking the AP test. | ||
As an AP US History textbook... I am now a junior in high school and this is the book I use as the main textual reference for my AP US History Class. I agree with Amanda, this book is boring. It is crammed with names of people, places and pieces of legislation that are never explained and, at times, appear to be irrelevant. I read a lot of supplementary material, but still do not have the time to familiarize myself with everything mentioned in the book. It is my opinion that some of the space in this book could have been used for better explanations of specific events rather than a place where the author could list everything (s)he knows about the time period in that BAM, BAM, BAM way. | ||
