Understanding American History series.
These titles treat complex topics with a high degree of sophistication. The texts include many primary source quotations; source notes reference academic work on the subjects. The vocabulary is suited to high school students, but the lack of a glossary may limit the audience. Photos and sidebars help break up the dense texts. An annotated list of "Important People" is appended. Reading list, websites. Ind. Review covers these Understanding American History titles: The Constitution and the Founding of a New Nation and The Internment of Japanese Americans.
