American Student History (English-Chinese Bilingual Edition) (Two Volumes)

~This set of "History for American Students" is an authoritative textbook on American history written specifically for American students by Edward Channing, a famous history professor at Harvard University. It has had an immortal influence on subsequent American history textbooks. The book begins with the discovery of America by Europeans and focuses on the 300-year history of the United States from 1600 to 1900. The author's attempt with this book "to arouse in students a love of history rather than to memorize a large number of anecdotes," some of which are of little importance and others based on unreliable sources. The book is divided into 15 parts and 45 chapters in total, summarizing a total of 485 key points of knowledge, which plays a very good role in helping students grasp the context and historical clues of the book. This book is the first edition in China and is bilingual. Chinese is only used as a supplement to the content and reading format. Each chapter is followed by corresponding exercises and teacher suggestions. For domestic students, this set of books is also a good English reading book. Reading aloud in English will definitely be more helpful to improve your English level. <Br />The aim of this book is to tell in a simple and concise form the story of the founding and development of the United States. The study of the history of one's own country is a serious matter, and should be entered upon by the text-book writer, by the teacher, and by the pupil in a serious spirit, even to a greater extent than the study of language or of arithmetic. No effort has been made, therefore, to make out of this text-book a story book. It is a text-book pure and simple, and should be used as a text-book, to be studied diligently by the pupil and expounded carefully by the teacher.
