In American Horizons: U.S. History in a Global Context, Fourth Edition, the authors use the frequent movement of people, goods, and ideas into, out of, and within America’s borders as a framework. This unique approach provides a fully integrated global perspective that seamlessly contextualizes American events within the wider world. Presented in two volumes for maximum flexibility–and supplemented by two sourcebooks of primary documents–American Horizons illustrates the relevance of U.S. history to students by centering on the matrix of issues that dominate their lives.
