Description:

Mapping America's Past: A Historical Atlas, by Mark C. Carnes and John A. Garraty, covers all things American: atmospheric changes over 18,000 years, the arrival, heyday, and destruction of Native American communities, and the politics of expansion, segregation, and isolationism. Many moments of American history--from slavery to Jewish immigration, cholera to race riots, the birth of the working class to moon rockets--are attentively detailed. Especially impressive is the balance between formative events (such as the Civil War), lesser-known movements (American socialism between 1901 and 1920), and neighborhood vignettes (such as the making of black Harlem). --Stephanie Gold
