For graduate students, medical students, residents or professors - anyone interested in psychopharmacology should have this book! The reference section alone is worth it's weight in gold. There is simply no comparable text that is as comprehensive and readable. The reviews of both the basic science as well as the clinical literature is a remarkable feature, and is extremely well integrated.

Friday, January 29, 2010
Buy Low Price From Here Now
The journey that led us to The American Journey began in the classroom with our students. We wrote this book for them and we kept their needs foremost as we set about preparing this second edition.
Over the years we have subjected our students to many American history books--including the first edition of this one--and they have let us know what they liked and disliked, what they found difficult and what they grasped easily, what they skipped and what they devoured. Most important, they have told us what connects history to their own experience and brings it alive.
Our goal is to make American history accessible to students. The key to that goal--the core of the book--is a strong clear narrative. American history is a compelling story and we seek to tell it in an engaging, forthright way. But we also provide students with an abundance of tools--including outlines, key topics lists, chronologies, overview tables, highlighted key terms, review questions, and hundreds of maps, graphs, and illustrations--to help them absorb that story and put it in context. We introduce them to the concerns of the participants in history with primary source documents. And, in a new feature called "America's Journey: From Then to Now," we connect events and issues from the past to the concerns of the present.

Buy Low Price From Here Now
This is Volume I (chapters 1-15) of WE THE PEOPLE. Crafted from the ground up to be a "brief" U.S. History text (rather than a condensed version of a larger text), WE THE PEOPLE tells the story of America through five recurring, interwoven themes: (1) the role of interacting cultures in the development of the American nation; (2) the social/cultural environment's interaction with political forces; (3) the evolution of a national identity; (4) changing cultural values; and (5) individuals' attempts to impose order on physical place and chronological time. Frequent quotations from individuals at all levels of society make this text well-rounded in its presentation of social and cultural history. In addition, each chapter opens with a story that features a longer quotation that illuminates the topics, events, and themes explicated in that chapter. WE THE PEOPLE is available in the following split options: WE THE PEOPLE, Complete, First Edition (Chapters 1-30), ISBN: 0534593550; WE THE PEOPLE, Volume I to 1877 (Chapters 1-15), ISBN: 0534593569; WE THE PEOPLE, Volume II, Since 1865 (Chapters 15-3), ISBN: 0534593577.

When Everything Changed: The Amazing Journey of American Women from 1960 to the Present
Buy Low Price From Here Now
Gail Collins, New York Times columnist and bestselling author, recounts the astounding revolution in women's lives over the past 50 years, with her usual "sly wit and unfussy style" (People).
When Everything Changed begins in 1960, when most American women had to get their husbands' permission to apply for a credit card. It ends in 2008 with Hillary Clinton's historic presidential campaign. This was a time of cataclysmic change, when, after four hundred years, expectations about the lives of American women were smashed in just a generation.
A comprehensive mix of oral history and Gail Collins's keen research--covering politics, fashion, popular culture, economics, sex, families, and work--When Everything Changed is the definitive book on five crucial decades of progress. The enormous strides made since 1960 include the advent of the birth control pill, the end of "Help Wanted--Male" and "Help Wanted--Female" ads, and the lifting of quotas for women in admission to medical and law schools. Gail Collins describes what has happened in every realm of women's lives, partly through the testimonies of both those who made history and those who simply made their way.
Picking up where her highly lauded book America's Women left off, When Everything Changed is a dynamic story, told with the down-to-earth, amusing, and agenda-free tone for which this beloved New York Times columnist is known. Older readers, men and women alike, will be startled as they are reminded of what their lives once were--"Father Knows Best" and "My Little Margie" on TV; daily weigh-ins for stewardesses; few female professors; no women in the Boston marathon, in combat zones, or in the police department. Younger readers will see their history in a rich new way. It has been an era packed with drama and dreams--some dashed and others realized beyond anyone's imagining.

By Kim Mundell (New Zealand)
A great read - intellectually stimulating and enjoyable at the same time. It brought back forgotten memories of blatant sexism encountered in the 70s and 80s - before I was old enough to recognise it fully. A good reminder that we can't be complacent about equality for women. There is too much in here that still resonates today.
By Older & Wiser (New York, NY)
"When Everything Changed" is encyclopedic, if the encyclopedia were narrated by your best friend who knew all the subjects personally. Organized chronologically, in brief profiles and anecdotes, this book reveals history bit by bit. You'll find yourself smiling in recognition, and more than occasionally outraged by the events of the very recent past.
By Chrissi R. Nimmo (Tahlequah, OK)
I am almost 30, a lawyer, married, no kids - this book was fantastic and represented different viewpoints. It makes me proud to be a feminist and reminds that there is still a fight! I loved the arrangement of short stories and the chronological approach. I read it slowly, made notes and copied quotes! I have loaned my copy to a friend, bought two copies for gifts and recommend it to everyone woman I know 18-80!
Even though I have a Kindle, I bought the hardback, and am glad I did!
By H. Bill (Columbus, OH USA)
For those of us too old to have had the option of a Women's Studies class in college, this book gives a great overview of times we lived through! It reminded me of slights, problems and prohibitions that I had forgotten. I intend to pass it on to my daughters AFTER I have written a few comments (such as "Yes, this happened to me!" or "Yes, this happened to someone I knew!'). We have "come a long way, baby!", but it is important not to forget how long and hard the road was!
By Margo Jarosz (Chicago)
This book hit very close to home to me, as I identified with so many of the women Ms. Collins interviewed. Not just the fascinating stories, but the broad sweep of history in the woman's movement from 1960 to the present. From my 60's childhood, to coming of age during the early days of "libbers" (the name I recall hearing most often), the sweeping changes of the 70's, the having it all '80's, through the reality of the 90's and today.
As I sat there and pondered what it all meant as witness and participant, Ms. Collins summed it up for me in the final paragraph: " . . . But women did not figure out how to keep marriage from crumbling into divorce, and they were not particularly successful in making their lovers grow into dependable husbands. They had not remade the world the way the revolutionaries had hoped. But they had created a world their female ancestors did not even have the opportunity to imagine."
One minor issue: I would have preferred the biographical information about the women interviewed at the beginning of the book, not the end. I honestly couldn't keep their names and stories straight.

By Arthur Bradley (Eastern USA)
My wife and I homeschool our three kids, and we have up to this point used programs like Sonlight and Abeka - both very good programs. However, we've recently decided to migrate to using more traditional textbooks for our older children. The Glencoe American Journey is a very high quality text, filled with photographs, color illustrations, and is very expansive in scope, covering from pre-discovery to post Civil War in great detail. It is targeted to grades 6-8 or 7-9, with all three years in one volume.
All of the Glencoe books are organized in a very similar manner, with lessons outlined, small sidebar discussions of relevant topics, and end of week questions. Teacher's editions and supplement material are readily available from the publisher. Additional online assignments and questions are also accessible.
This is our first year of using the product, but from what I can see so far, it is outstanding. I only wish I had used this book when I was in Middle School.
Please be kind enough to indicate if reviews are helpful.

My son uses it in 8th grade, and being a historian myself I checked the book out. The foreign policy part would have needed an editor with background knowledge. Especially galling was p. 754 in which the Stalinist regime in the Soviet Union gets dispatched in 3 (!) sentences, (while Hitler gets several pages) two of the three saying that "Stalin executed his rivals, ordered the deaths of thousands suspected of supporting his rivals, and sent millions of Russians to labor camps. He also reorganized the nation's economy, forcing millions of people onto government-owned farms." (p. 754)....
Actually, he had at least 2 million suspected of supporting his opponents executed, and millions of peasants (estimates range to 10 million) liquidated by execution, hunger and in the GULAG during collectivization. Estimates by Robert Conquest, J. Rummel and others range from 20 to 40 million overall killed by Stalin, with most killed before 1940, which is the time period covered in the "rise of dictators" section--and not "thousands." The short part given to Stalin is not only mendacious towards the victims, but also skews these students understanding of Europe in the 1930s, and the true nature of FDR's friend "Uncle Joe"-- which perhaps is the rationale behind this mendacious falsification. There are other events in Europe in the 19th and 20th century covered in a cartoonish and simpleton way. Hopefully teachers will use their own judgment and add additional material.

This book has a lot of information about the U.S. history. IT had documents, like the Declaration of Independence, The MAyflower Compact, etc. I think you can find ample information with this great heavy book of such numerous answers to questions you have on American history.
