This reader serves as the primary anthology for the introductory survey course; covering the subject's entire chronological span. Comprehensive topical coverage includes the Cold War; the cultural and political movements of the 60s; the return of conservatism; life in the new information age; and race and ethnicity.In the Third Edition; greater emphasis is placed on social and cultural history; and a new chapter focuses on 9/11; the war on terror; and the war in Iraq. Key pedagogical elements of the Major Problems format have been retained: 14-15 chapters per volume; chapter introductions; headnotes; and suggested readings.

Jameson has become my favorite author when it comes to hunting for lost treasures; gold; silver and the like. Very believable and he has researched each area he writes about in great detail. If you have ever given some thought as to what it might be like to search for lost gold in the Southwest US; you will enjoy this book as well as the others he has written.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
