Customer Reviews

good for reference

This book was very helpful back in High School as an AP US History student. I still use this book frequently at the undergraduate level. I use it for history papers, social science papers, and general reference. Although a good overall reference, it is by no means definitive. Several "key" terms are not addressed.

very very useful

If it happened in American History it's in here. A great reference book for any 8th or 11th grader by a man who is an expert at teaching kids ( I should know, I had him as a teacher)Brief, but descriptive articles about everything american.

Perfect Reference Tool

Amazing organization of important facts in American History. A must have for every student and aficionado

An outstanding reference for students and adults

This book has been very helpful to my daughter who is in AP history. It has been an excellent reference to help with outlines and reviews. It covers many topics and has concise and relevant summaries. I love the alphabetical order format. We use the book all of the time.

A great history fact finder.

This is the best quick referance book on American History that I have used. It meets the needs of High school and college students for id's on exams. Yanak and Cornelison just give the pertnant facts, and they are easy to find. I belive in this book, but it is four year old and needs to be revised.
