A brief American History Spine with beautiful pics and art.
I’m using this as an American History spine for one year of homeschool history, along with pbslearningmedia.org teaching plans, documentaries and student activities for specific areas. We will also mix in free YouTube videos, such as from The Nomadic Professor, History Channel, National Geographic, etc., group discussions and research report assignments for deeper areas of interest.
After some brief perusing, the book has many colorful photographs and drawings and is logically ordered. Each section starts with a timeline of key moments for that era, then follows with pages of facts. It starts at year 1000 and ends at 2018. Each era starting at 1763 covers anywhere from 15 to 60 years at a time, prior to 1763 information is sparse. The eras have helpful color-coded page tabs. Presidents typically have a two page spread. The appendix contains a typed and small pic of important documents such as The Declaration of Independence, The Constitution with its sections and articles, all 27 Amendments and the Gettysburg Address. Plus, there’s a spread showing the presidents, and a table of states listing their ratification years, state bird, tree, etc.
Overall, it is what I was looking for, a simple and eye-catching spine for one year of American History. In the past we have used Joy Hakim’s Story of US series, fleshed out with discussions and assignments for an in-depth 2 year American History study. It can be used for school for any age, with adaptions for older students. Or, utilize it for brief history reading, a fun coffee table book or a simple resource on your shelf of encyclopedias. Like with all history study, one resource will not tell the entire story, or show different historian’s perspectives… So you must research interpretations from a variety of sources, along with actual documents to form your own visualization of the big picture. This book was what they advertised it to be, a visual encyclopedia. If you’re like us and love educational encyclopedias with pretty pictures to grab your interest, then this would be a good choice.

Love this Book!
We are using this book along with the US History on Khan Academy for my son’s fourth grade homeschooling experience. The pictures are vivid and fun to look at. Also, the topics are not too deep so my son doesn’t get overwhelmed with too much information. I like the continous use of a timeline throughout the book too. Love this book!

Beautiful book with LOADS of history! All the way up to our last election of Trump!
Beautiful illustrations and so much information! I bought this as a substitute for my homeschooled son’s history this year We are going to read it aloud a chapter a week or so and talk about all of History! I LOVE this book and will not sell it I will keep it after using it this year! Talks about early settlers, all the way to the present, and even The Constitution and Bill of Rights! Also includes info on each meaningful time in history all the way back to 1000-1607 good and bad and wars we have had, landing on the moon, the civil rights movement, the twin towers getting hit and going down, certain influences in different periods of time, and a list of all the states with the date of statehood, capital, state trees, state bird, state flower, and each ones nickname! I think my favorite is the Constitution and The Bill of Rights and amendments. This book was well worth $20.00! I recommend it to any history lover or anyone interested in just learning more about all of our country’s past!

A readable American history book that doesn’t get lost in the details
With all the recent civil unrest, I was looking for a history book that would give a high level overview of American history with snippets of a ground view. This book does that really well. The author also shares resources in case you wish to dig deeper into certain subjects. Because of the breadth of time covered, I would only recommend that readers balance reading the book with living, because I burned myself out with excitement in reading the first part of the book, which left my mind a little numb. (-: I highly recommend this book!

EXCELLENT PICTORIAL HISTORY
This is one of the best pictorial histories of the United States I have seen in years. My favorite was from the mid-1960s for which I paid c. $3.00 but lost many years ago. I have looked at many similarly titled books but this one is by far the best. The illustrations, drawings, cartoons, and photos are set perfectly to accompany the text, which is up-to-date accurate. You can’t go wrong with this book.

En el prefacio se indica que es un libro para estudiantes, niños. Evidentemente no cubre en profundidad ningún tema. Es un libro sencillo y fácil de leer para una primera aproximación a la historia de EEUU. No lo calificarÃa como libro para niños, quizá si para adolescentes (angloparlantes o con bien nivel de inglés).
Buen acabado y encuadernación. Llegó sin ningún desperfecto.
