Dina in Oklahoma Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 Hello ~ DD is a history buff and will most likely take an AP history exam. I am doing some long term planning and was wondering if anyone has used any of the following titles. A Concise History of the American Republic, Vol I and II by Morison, Commager and Leuchtenburg A History of the Modern World, Vol I and II by Palmer and Colton If you have used or considered these titles, what did you like / not like about them? I would appreciate any insight you can give -THANKS! :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DianeJM Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 Nope. Not only I have I not looked at these, I have never heard of them (that I know of, lol). But just thought I'd chime in so you don't get the idea you're invisible. Hope you find out what you need to know. Blessings! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kareni Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 I did a board search on Palmer (restricted to the high school board) and found this post. A search on Leuchtenburg found no results. Regards, Kareni Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melissa B Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 These are the books used by Highlands Latin school aren't they? I think it is because each of these books (sets) is used over two years that not many people here have used them. Two years of American history followed by two years of Modern World history isn't very common. In general, I really like the Highlands Latin school set up and book choices but we have the option in FL to enroll in CC for high school so my dd will be using the texts chosen by the college. HLS is associated with Memoria Press and Memoria Press has a message board on their website. Perhaps you could find some reviews there?

Dina in Oklahoma Posted July 1, 2010 Author Share Posted July 1, 2010 Thanks friends. Yes, these are the texts used by Highlands but just wondered if anyone in the hive had used them. Thanks Melissa, I didn't realize Memoria had a board. I appreciate your feedback. :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
