Publisher's Synopsis
This successful Western history version of the popular Discovering series provides a broad range of both visual and written sources. The unique framework includes The Problem, Sources and Method, The Evidence, Questions to Consider, and Epilogue and Evaluation sections in each chapter. This structure encourages critical thinking, helps you sharpen important analytical skills, and makes the subject matter more interesting-as well as easier to grasp. The text emphasizes historical study as interpretation rather than memorization of data, with actual documents and artifacts from which you will develop answers to historical questions-and learn to think like a historian.
