''A History of US'' is a ten-volume (and one sourcebook) historical book series for children, written by Joy Hakim and first published in its entirety in 1995. The series is published by the US branch of Oxford University Press and is currently in its third edition. Originally conceived as a trade children's series, the books quickly found fans among classroom teachers; in response to the prompting of educators Oxford University Press developed ancillary teaching materials to accompany the series. Branded as 'alternatives to traditional textbooks' the series is regularly used in both public and private schools, usually in middle school classes. The books are all written in a personal tone, as if the author were a storyteller. The texts have been released to ample praise by teachers, home-schoolers, students, and many others. The series has won the James A. Michener Award in Writing and the Parent's Choice Gold Award. ==Content== The books are titled: #''The First Americans: Prehistory–1600'' #''Making Thirteen Colonies: 1600–1740'' #''From Colonies to Country: 1735–1791'' #''The New Nation: 1789–1850'' #''Liberty for All? 1820–1860'' #''War, Terrible War: 1855–1865'' #''Reconstructing America: 1865–1890'' #''An Age of Extremes: 1880–1917'' #''War, Peace, And All That Jazz: 1918–1945'' #''All the People: Since 1945'' The eleventh volume is a sourcebook and index, containing full text of the primary sources—usually government documents, speeches, or famous writings—referenced throughout the series and words. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「A History of US」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
