Featuring stunning images, revealing maps, historic facts, and concise analysis, the National Geographic Almanac of American History is carefully balanced to provide readers with a deeper comprehension of United States history.
The Almanac is unparalleled in its reader-friendly format: the book's four major sections are enhanced by a thorough table of contents, a detailed index, and bibliography, plus a feature on how to use the book. Section 1 explores America's geologic makeup and answers the question, "How was the land responsible for the way in which America developed?" Milestones comprise section 2: Twelve essays discuss how America evolved to become the global leader it is today. Section 3 covers the major eras in America's history, beginning with the earliest Native Americans. The final section of the book covers: Leaders, Wars, Religion and Beliefs, Presidents, and finally, Milestone Documents, including the Declaration of Independence, the Emancipation Proclamation, the Gettysburg Address, and more.
With an introduction by Hugh Ambrose, historian and a founding director of The National D-Day Museum, the National Geographic Almanac of American History is a timely and essential resource that every American should own.
Choppily written
| Customer Rating:  | | This book seems to have been written to run about 500 pages before it was cut down to its final length of 338 pages. many of the sections I've read have been difficult to truly understand--sometimes the authors makes claims that need more explanation, and other times the sentences or paragraphs seem to be non sequitors. Great images, though. |
Terrific American history refresher
| Customer Rating: | | For adults who either loved or hated American history in high school and college, this is an excellent review. A well organized format starts as a general overview of progressive periods, and follows up with a more specific description of each era. Every section features maps or art representative of the period. All in all, this book displays the excellence we have come to expect of National Geographic. |
Oh
| Customer Rating: | For your Information the Big Bang is a proven scientific theory. And I suppose you think god created the universe and made the earth in 6 days right.
The Book has numerous illustrations and a detailed account of world history, although it can be vague at times.

National Geographic Almanac of American History (National Geographic)
| Customer Rating: | | I think this book a well written consist summary of American history. The reason I did not rate it 5 stars is because of the opening statement on page 14. This book, backed by National Geographic, states that the world we live in was created by a "big bang" 15 billions ago. This is not a proven fact. This is one man's idea. I am surprised that National Geographic accepts this as a proven fact and gives this book their stamp of approval. It has lowered my opinion of a life long trusted name. |
A lot of useful info!
| Customer Rating: | | Great book: easy to read, very interesting and we must know history of country. When you begin to read it - it just will takes you all until you complete the book! Full of illustrations and copies of actual historical documents. Good to own it and have it on your shelf, getting back to it periodically :) |
