Beware of "Advantage" Edition
By dwimmz
American Passages is a decent and remarkably readable survey text, but I quickly noticed that this particular edition contains quite a few grammatical and formatting errors. In some extreme cases, figures and their descriptions are even mismatched, which can throw the "big picture" of entire sections into disarray. Don't get me wrong, though: considering the price, I would've purchased this book even with prior knowledge of the errors. Just keep in mind that purchasing the "Advantage" edition comes with its own set of disadvantages.

The book is exactly the one I needed for my college course, and at a good price, which was great.
Product Description
With a unique attention to time as the defining nature of history, CENGAGE ADVANTAGE BOOKS: AMERICAN PASSAGES: A HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES, 4e, offers students a view of American history as a complete, compelling narrative. AMERICAN PASSAGES emphasizes the intertwined nature of three key characteristics of time--sequence, simultaneity, and contingency. With clarity and purpose, the authors convey how events grow from other events, people's actions, and broad structural changes (sequence), how apparently disconnected events occurred in close chronological proximity to one another and were situated in larger, shared contexts (simultaneity), and how history suddenly pivoted because of events, personalities, and unexpected outcomes (contingency). To meet the demand for a low-cost, high-quality survey text, CENGAGE ADVANTAGE BOOKS: AMERICAN PASSAGES: A HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES, 4e, offers readers the complete text in an economically priced format. All volumes feature a paperbound, two-color format that appeals to those seeking a comprehensive, trade-sized history text.
