Civilizations in America is designed as
a learning module in the form of a "research textbook." The module provides more
information and in more detail than the average freshman level world
cultures/history/civilizations textbook. It is meant to be a resource for
students to extract overall background but with enough detail so that students
can approach sophisticated and creative assignments on the culture or history of
American urban cultures.
