About your course materials
LIBERTY, EQUALITY, POWER: A HISTORY OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE, Enhanced 7th Edition, uses these three themes to show how the United States was transformed from hunter-gatherer and agricultural Native American societies into the most powerful industrial nation on Earth. Students gain an understanding of the impact of the notions of liberty and equality and recognize how dominant and subordinate groups affect and are affected by the ever-shifting balance of power. The authors weave primary source features and recent social and cultural scholarship--including material on movies and other forms of popular culture--into a political story that offers a complete understanding of American history. Available options: Enhanced 7th Edition (Chapters 1 – 32), ISBN: 9781337699747; Volume I: To 1877 (Chapters 1 – 17), ISBN: 9780357022313; Volume II: Since 1863 (Chapters 17 – 32), ISBN: 9780357022320.

LIBERTY, EQUALITY, POWER's thematic approach shows how the pursuit of liberty and equality has shaped the nation and how power has been used and abused in every aspect of American life--for example, between men and women, whites and blacks and rich and poor.
The strength of the book's author team accounts for its high-quality narrative and analysis. Among the members of this distinguished team are two new authors--Pekka Hämäläinen from Rothermere American Institute, University of Oxford and Denver Brunsman from George Washington University. They join original members, all award-winning educators and prominent scholars in their respective areas of expertise.
What They Said, a primary source feature in each chapter, builds on (and replaces) the previous edition's Links to the Past boxes. Each feature presents two or more brief primary source excerpts along with introductory notes and questions, offering students an opportunity to analyze different perspectives on a relevant topic.
The Interpreting the Visual Past feature in each chapter builds on (and replaces) the Visual Links to the Past boxes. Each feature focuses on an image relevant to the chapter's discussion, providing an extended caption and a question that asks students to analyze a painting, a cartoon, a photograph or an illustration as a piece of historical evidence.
