1 audio disc ; 4 3/4 in, [This book] examines U.S. history the way people live--in the flow of time. Rather than pursuing one topic at a time, such as politics, culture, society, reform, the military, or economics, each chapter interweaves important themes and issues into one interrelated narrative. Through this method of presentation ... you can observe the many ways in which events, movements, and groups of people have served to shape history, while simultaneously making connections between these themes and issues.-Back cover, Originally published: Belmont, CA : Thomson/Wadsworth, ©2006.
