With adoptions at more than 400 colleges and universities in the first six months since publication, the Third Edition of America; A Narrative History by Tindall and Shi has established itself as a leading text in the survey course. The Brief Third Edition, available now as a one volume paperback and a two volume paperback, makes this new classic the right choice for any approach to the survey. One third shorter than the full Third Edition, the brief America can fit short courses in America history or full courses that require less text. The Brief Third Edition of America includes enhanced discussions of immigration and its impact on the evolution of America society, politics and culture. It consistently covers the social effects of war, particularly home front developments during America's major conflicts.
