Penguin Academics
Compact yet complete–and always at a reasonable price!
For more than 60 years, instructors and their students have looked to Penguin trade paperbacks for state-of-the-art scholarship, accessibility, and fair prices. Longman, Penguin’s sister company, aims to meet those same expectations with textbooks in our Penguin Academics series.
We’ve created the Penguin Academics series with ease of use in mind–the books are conveniently portable and highly readable, with engaging typefaces and interior designs. Concise yet thorough in their coverage of the basics, Penguin Academics titles are ideal for use either by themselves or in combination with other books. A list of related Penguin paperbacks can be found at the back of this and every Penguin Academics title.
Skillfully blending the essentials of political, social, economic, diplomatic and cultural history into a seamless narrative, The American Story, Third Edition, presents a compact yet compelling story of the United States and its people–the powerful elite as well as the ordinary men and women who have effected and been affected by the events that have shaped the nation.
In this new edition, a chronology has been included at the end of each chapter to provide students with a convenient review of events. New and expanded material has been added to several chapters, and the final chapters have been streamlined and condensed.
The American Story, Third Edition comes in three formats:
Single Volume Edition • ISBN: 0-321-44502-3
Volume I: Since 1877 • ISBN: 0-321-42184-1
Volume II: Since 1865 • ISBN: 0-321-42185-X
We invite you to visit our Web site at http://www.ablongman.com/history to review other fine books from Longman’s library.
Caracteristici
- Affordable quality is the hallmark feature of Penguin Academics. A compact, trade-format size and a streamlined narrative make the books both easy to handle and easy to read. The brevity and low cost of this series allow instructors to easily supplement the basic text with other texts, including many Penguin titles offered at a deep discount as part of the Longman/Penguin program.
- Chronologically organized narrative integrates political, diplomatic, social, cultural, and economic history to tell the story of all Americans — white, black, Native American, Hispanic, women, politicians, business leaders, and -everyday people.

These opening stories of individuals and their experiences reveal history's human dimension, capturing the attention of readers and leading them to consider the relevance of history in everyday life.
- Bibliographic material in the Appendix directs readers to the best of print and online resources. Recommended Readings lists works of significant historical scholarship, including both the classics of the past and the most insightful of the present. Suggested Web Sites with descriptions and URLs, organized by chapter and topic, provide additional research sources.
Caracteristici noi
