Description

Of the People: A Concise History of the United States; Second Edition; not only tells the history of America--of its people and places; of its dealings and ideals--but it also unfolds the story of American democracy; carefully marking how this country's evolution has been anything but certain; from its complex beginnings to its modern challenges. This comprehensive survey focuses on the social and political lives of people--some famous; some ordinary--revealing the compelling story of America's democracy from an individual perspective; from across the landscapes of diverse communities; and ultimately from within the larger context of the world.The Concise Second Edition tells the same great story; but with fewer words and images. Maintaining the structure; the features; and maps of the comprehensive edition; this concise version has been thoughtfully condensed--paragraphs now contain trimmed sentences and a reduced number of examples--thus leaving the book's core content and compelling narrative unchanged. The second edition includes 75 percent fewer margin quotations and 60 percent fewer images than in the comprehensive edition.
