The Brief Edition of A PEOPLE AND A NATION preserves the text's
approach to American history as a story of all American people. Known
for a number of strengths, including its well-respected author team
and engaging narrative, the book emphasizes social history, giving
particular attention to race and racial identity. Like its
full-length counterpart, the Brief Eighth Edition focuses on stories
of everyday people, cultural diversity, work, and popular culture. A
new design makes for easier reading and note-taking. Events up to and
including the election of 2008 are updated and included, and new
chapter has been written on "The Contested West." Available in the
following split options: A PEOPLE AND A NATION, Brief Eighth Edition
