Every chapter has chapter outlines, chronologies, focus questions, and on-page glossaries (defining both key terms and general vocabulary) to provide guidance throughout the text; the open, inviting design allows students to access and use pedagogy to improve learning. A wealth of images throughout provides a visual connection to the past, with captions that help students analyze the subject of the painting, photograph, or artifact from an historical point of view.”Investigating America”� gets to the heart of learning history: reading and analyzing primary sources. A new feature,”In The Wider World,”� introduces a global perspective for each chapter. In addition, a new map program provides clear, visually engaging maps with globe insets to put the map in a global context for the student.
