Out of Many, Volume 1 (6th Edition) Editorial Review:
Organized around the theme of American communities, Out of Many is a blend of social and political history that reveals the geographical, racial, and economic diversity of the United States, with a special focus on the country’s regions, especially the West.
Instead of looking at the country as a homogenous whole, the authors break down the country into more meaningful and manageable building blocks: the individual, the community, the state, and the region. Showing these interplays between the individuals and groups and the groups and the regions, each chapter of the text will help students understand the textured and varied history that has produced the increasing complexity of America.

no response, do not do business with this guy
I ordered a text book from Curtis. I have had no communicaion and assume I will not see my order. Amazon is of no help either. Last time I do business with either.
Left Wing Bias Abounds_History Less Important
I have read the entire book, and I only did so because I had to for a class. This book is completely biased against, you guessed it, the evil white rich man and America in general. Granted, history isn't always pretty; people aren't always nice. Nonetheless, the authors choose to judge the actions of 17th and 18th Century people by the values of today. It irritates me to no end to see this used as a teaching tool.
The edition is also concise and lacking in any in-depth explanation of key historical issues. To compound this, however, the authors felt it more important to use up their valuable word count on espousing their left-wing hatred of the U.S. (they actually spend space discussing Ghandi at one point, who won't be around for another 100 years) instead of expanding on historical facts relevant to the period being studied.
If you need to deprogram after the experience. I suggest reading, A Patriot's History of the United States, by Larry Schweikart and Michael Allen. This book was written by a couple of people who think the United States, as far as countries go, ain't all that bad.
I also suggest reading the two together, to balance out the indoctrination of "Out of Many."
I give it one star as I can't rate it any lower.
Such subjective opinion has no place in a history text.
Easy Experience
I ordered a used textbook from this user, and the quality was excellent. There is really no indication that this book has been used, it's it great condition. It arrived on time, and everything went smooth.
Good Book Awsome Seller
This book was in perfect condition when I received it the seller did a wonderful job packaging it. I highly recommend this vendor.
Good book
It is a very good book for people who are interested in early American history. Our teacher uses this book as a cours material and so far I am totally satisfied with this book, I like all the illustrations, maps and interesting, but often unfortunately difficult, vocabulary.
