Ten of the chapters include American Lives essays, ranging from Sojourner Truth to contemporary figures such as Bill Gates and Barack Obama. These essays focus on the young adulthood of such figures so students will find it easier to relate to them. (ex. p. 266 - 267)
Because movies on historical themes often figure prominently in how we think about the past, ten of the chapters include Re-Viewing the Past essays, which contrast Hollywood's rendering of history with what really happened. The selected movies range from those with obvious historical themes, such as emThe Alamo/em and emSaving Private Ryan/em, to popular movies whose historical themes are less well known, such as emChicago/em. (ex. p. 74 - 75)
End-of-Chapter Study Aids encourage and facilitate study and review. Each chapter now ends with a list of Key Terms and a set of Review Questions. The Key Terms are also compiled in a glossary that appears at the end of the text. (ex. p. 270)

Compelling Chapter Openers: Every chapter opens with a question that pertains to many readers: For example, Chapter 18, on society and culture during the late 19th century, opens with the question, "Have you ever been kicked out of a mall?" The paragraphs that follow show how much more of our lives were played out in public spaces a century ago. Other opening questions include: Do you rebel against authority? Are you wearing anything made in the United States? Do you space out during political debates? Do you drink too much? What will happen to you? Such questions bridge present and past they connect our lives to those of our forebears. (ex. p. 224)
