8 1969-1980 231 Chapter 32 The Republican Resurgence 240 Chapter 33 America in Flux 248 vPreface This Instructor's Resource Manual is designed to make your teaching life easier, although it is neither possible nor desirable to make that life too easy. Teaching, especially in the liberal arts, is a unique challenge that demands a highly individual response.

9 Whether you respond by challenging your students' intellects or by evoking certain emotions, students will probably always remember those aspects of American history that you, in some way, made exciting. The rich narrative of AMERICA: PAST AND PRESENT, Seventh Edition, will help you create this sort of memorable excitement in the classroom, and we hope this Instructor's Resource Manual will suggest some other ways you can make history memorable for your students. ABOUT THE AUTHOR The scholars who wrote America: Past and Present are among the most active and interesting historians now working in American history.

10 Each author has provided a short personal statement of his approach to history and historiography. We think these statements will prove especially useful to you should you wish to add an historiographical dimension to your use of the text. We believe, too, that these statements testify to the collegiality that exists between you and the authors. Physical distance and the impersonality of the printed page may obscure the truth, but you and the authors are bound together in an important enterprise: the education of the citizens of a free republic.
