The Enduring Vision

the long version

Widely admired for its outstanding scholarship and engaging narrative, The Enduring Vision integrates political, social, and cultural history within a clear chronological framework. It was the first U.S. history textbook to incorporate sustained attention to cultural history, the West, and the environment. The Fifth Edition maintains these strengths as well as the book's distinctive focus on the enduring vision of the American people, "the determination to live up to the values that give meaning to America." - Back cover.
