These United States The Questions of Our Past Since 1865

For undergraduate survey courses in U.S. History. Using a thematic approach, this concise survey explores the many and varied threads of American history-social, intellectual, cultural, political, diplomatic, economic, and military-from the arrival of the first native American inhabitants thousand of years ago throught the crisis following the terrorist attacks on New York and Washington on September 11, 2001. Irwin Unger, a Pulitzer Prize winning author, wrote this book after discovering from his own experiences teaching American History at the University of California at Davis and at NYU, that a thematic approach was much more interesting to students than a purely descriptive one.Unger, Irwin is the author of 'These United States The Questions of Our Past Since 1865', published 2006 under ISBN 9780132299671 and ISBN 0132299674.
