دانلود کتاب دویست و پنجاهمین کتاب همه کاره آمریکا برای مبتدیان

This book is not a textbook, nor is it an exhaustive encyclopedia covering everything that ever happened in the United States. But it gives you a basic foundation of information about U.S. history, celebrates the vibrant people and events that make the U.S. what it is today, and offers a glimpse at all sides of this country’s development. Because U.S. history hasn’t always been bright and shining — especially when it comes to topics such as slavery, immigration, and the treatment of Native Americans — this book doesn’t always deal with pleasant or uplifting subjects. Some of what you read may anger or sadden you. In that regard, America’s history shares something in common with just about every country that ever existed. In this book, you can move around from topic to topic and use the book as a handy reference. Some typical conventions that you find in the book include the following: » Words that appear in italics may mean that you’re about to find the definition for the italicized term » Web addresses appear in monofont If you’re reading a digital version of this book on a device connected to the internet, you can click the web address to visit that website, like this one: www.dummies.com » Direct or adapted quotations from influential Americans or other authorities may appear as a separate, indented paragraph To make the content more accessible, we divided it into seven minibooks: » Book 1: Shaping the USA. Read Book 1 for an overview of the origin and development of America as it now exists. » Book 2: Expanding America into Its Current Shape. Book 2 gives you a bit more detail about the expansion of the U.S. across the North American continent, a crash course about the variety of governmental policies needed to run this large nation, and a look at important social issues » Book 3: The Wars That Influenced the Shape. As is true for any nation on Earth, war has been and continues to be a fact of life. In Book 3, find out about major wars that directly influenced the American people and the development of domestic and foreign policies for the U.S. government. » Book 4: The Hands That Guided the Shape. In Book 4, meet the Founding Fathers, as well as some of the U.S. Presidents and First Ladies who lent their time and talents (with varying levels of success) to shaping America. » Book 5: The People Who Infused the Shape. The heritage of the American people is rich, and they come from all over the world. In Book 5, you can read about the people who infuse the U.S. with a wealth of cultures and traditions, as well as discover how their social and political ideas influenced the shape of America. » Book 6: American Government and Politics. No history of the U.S. would be complete without a look at its form of government and the political structures that support the government. Book 6 offers you a look at both. » Book 7: American Society and the Economy. In Book 7, you discover the emblems of America (the U.S. flag and the National Anthem, for example) that you may associate with the country. You also find out about how certain economic and societal developments have and still do influence life in America.
