| Synopsis: |
With a unique attention to time as the defining nature of history, Cenage Advantage Books: American Passages: A History of the United States, 4th edition, offers students a view of American history as a complete, compelling narrative. American Passages emphasizes the intertwined nature of three key characteristics of time - sequence, simultaneity, and contingency. With clarity and purpose, the authors convey how events grow from other events, people's actions, and broad structural changes (sequence), how apparently disconnected events occurred in close chronological proximity to one another and were situated in larger, shared contexts (simultaneity), and how history suddenly pivoted because of events, personalities, and unexpected outcomes (contingency). To meet the demand for a low-cost, high-quality survey text, Cenage Advantage Books: American Passages: A History of the United States, 4th edition, offers readers the complete text in an economically priced format. All volumes feature a paperbound, two-color format that appeals to those seeking a comprehensive, trade-sized history text. |
