Liberty/Equal/POW/Compact 4e (4 Rev ed)

LIBERTY, EQUALITY, POWER offers students a clear understanding of how America transformed itself, in a relatively short time, from a land inhabited by hunter-gatherers and agricultural Native American societies into the most powerful industrial nation on earth.

The authors promote this understanding by telling the story of America through the lens of three major themes: liberty, equality, and power.

This approach helps students understand not only the impact of the notions of liberty and equality, which are often associated with the American story, but also how dominant and subordinate groups have affected and been affected by the ever-shifting balance of power.

The Compact Version is part of the Thomson Advantage Books, which offers our Comprehensive text in a lower-cost format.

This black and white version of the text includes eight 4-page color map inserts to bring the regions to life.

While the compact version includes fewer photos than the Comprehensive version, it offers plenty of resources to make the course visual and exciting for students.

In addition, students will have access to the Book Companion Website that offers quizzing, interactive maps, interactive timelines, and simulations. (Single volume contains Chapters 1-31, VOLUME I: TO 1877 contains Chapters 1-17, VOLUME II: SINCE 1863 contains Chapters 17-31).
