AN AUTHORITATIVE, INTEGRATED, CONCISE AND ACCESSIBLE SYNTHESIS OF AMERICAN HISTORY Eric Foner skillfully combines world-class scholarship with the clarity needed to reach introductory-level students. Foner takes the scattered puzzle pieces of past events and assembles them into a clear, cohesive picture that conveys the what and why of history in an accessible way. His skill at historical synthesis is supported by effective and ample pedagogy, including chapter-opening vignettes, focus questions, chronologies, "Voices of Freedom" paired documents, and more. POWERFUL NEW COVERAGE OF THE AMERICAN WEST AND BORDERLANDS HISTORY With the fifth edition, Eric Foner introduces a particular focus on the American West and regions known as the borderlands. By focusing more attention on the borderlands (fluid areas around borders where people of different cultural and social backgrounds converge) and strengthening coverage of the west throughout (from the trans-Appalachian west to the southwest, Texas, California and the rest of the west coast) Foner brings to light new perspectives on local, regional and national developments.
