"This is a very complete and comprehensive work, explaining in
detail the factors and conditions that impact and have impacted
America. American Horizons does an outstanding job of giving
students a complete and balanced overview of American
history."--Bill Mauzey, Metropolitan Community College
"For the past decade or so we have been trying to anchor the U.S.
history survey in a more global perspective-this is exactly the
purpose of this text. It provides an excellent platform for
teaching American history in a global context, enabling students to
understand that American history did not evolve in a vacuum, but
was influenced by forces outside of the U.S."--Karen Miller,
Oakland University
"American Horizons' obvious strength is the global context it
provides, which is very useful in helping students understand that
larger context. The graphics, maps, and tables seem especially well
done, too; they are clear, easy to read, and relevant. I especially
appreciate the chapter on migration, religion, and empires--it is a
subject often quickly discussed or passed over entirely in survey
texts."--Christopher Jones, College of William and Mary
"I'm particularly happy with the discussion of two aspects in the
text: that of migration--one really gets a good idea of how many
people came to the U.S. and how many international influences there
have been on people--and the ongoing discussion in the early
chapters of temperance (the global reach, the role of women, and
the impact of prohibition)."--Chad Parker, University of Louisiana
at Lafayette
