America and Its Sources is an innovative e-book designed for non-majors, ESL students, and other students who struggle with large amounts of reading. Through 14 focused units, the editors guide students from important post-1865 documents to major sources from contemporary America. Each unit includes a brief introduction to the era, unit questions, 5 expertly edited primary sources with overviews and guiding questions, and a unit review. This innovative, affordable sourcebook offers students the essential tools they need to examine and analyze primary sources without overwhelming them with lengthy and difficult texts.
"A really well-conceived source reader: The excerpts are about the right length, the introductory material sets a clear tone for what is to come, and the selections are as timely now as when they were originally written."
William Wantland, Mount Vernon Nazarene University
"This book is a useful and engaging way to introduce students to primary sources in history, and to--ultimately--aid our objective to get them to think like historians, introducing them to the historian's tool kit."
Derek Kutzer, San Antonio College
"This sourcebook provides for students an impressive range of documents while at the same time laying a framework for students in the survey course to understand how they fit together within the contours of US History."
