The History of Texas Author:Robert A. Calvert, Arnoldo De Leon, Gregg Cantrell The principle that all peoples make history continues to drive the Third Edition of our well-loved text, one that continues to consider the different cultures withing the state as well as the unique heritage shared by all Texans. Unlike other state surveys, The History of Texas goes beyond accounts of well-known figures to consider the lives of ... more »ordinary Texans, as seen in the continued and expanded coverage of topics such as agriculture, industrialization, urbanization, economic disparity, migration patterns, and demographic change. And like its predecessors, the Third Edition still features the history of folklore, music, literature, sports, religion, and other important aspects of Texas culture that help determine the flavor of Texas, past and present. The Third Edition has been extensively reedited and revised, making it accesible to student readers of all levels and representative of the latest historical research. And in view of the myriad and rapid events that have occurred since the publication of the last edition, the last chapter has been completely rewritten by new contributing author Gregg Cantrell. The result is a comprehensive account of Texas History from 1970 right up to fall of 2001. Featuring new maps, photographs, as well as new material throughout, The History of Texas remains the most inclusive, relevant, and up-to-date account of all those who call the Lone Star State home. A complimentary Instructor's Test Bank for the Third Edition of The History of Texas is available on CD-ROM.« less
