Experience History To 1877
by Michael B. Stoff James West Davidson Brian Delay Christine Leigh Heyrman Mark H. LytleConnect students to the storiesof history. Connect students to the experienceof history. Connect students to success in history. At McGraw-Hill, we have spent the past few years deepening our understanding of the student and instructor experience. Employing a wide array of research tools including surveys, focus groups, and ethnographic studies, we've identified areas in need of improvement to provide an opportunity for greater learning and teaching experiences. Experience Historyis a direct result of this. Experience Historyis also a first in American History. Its groundbreaking adaptive diagnostic and interactive exercises paired with its lively narrative and engaging visuals creates a unique teaching and learning environment propelling greater student success and better course results. Instructors gain better insight into students' engagement and understanding as students develop a base of knowledge and construct critical thinking skills. Gripping stories keep students turning the page while the adaptive diagnostics for each chapter and a personalized study plan for each individual student help students prepare for class discussions and course work while enjoying increased course success. Experience History emphasizes that history is not just a collection of proven facts, but is "created" from the detective work of historians examining evidence from the past. Providing the interactive environment that only an integrated solution can provide,Experience History gives students the opportunity to examine primary sources and explore specific periods and events. This leads to greater understanding as well as the building and practicing of critical thinking skills. As students uniquely experience American History, Experience History propels students to greater understanding while achieving greater course success. Give students an experience. Improve course participation and performance. Experience History, and experience success.

Experimental Film
by Gemma FilesAn obscure piece of silent film draws a woman into madness in this “remarkable achievement” by the “Canadian horror luminary” (Los Angeles Review of Books). Former film critic Lois Cairns is fired from her teaching job just when her son Clark is diagnosed on the autism spectrum. Caught in a depressive spiral, Lois is convinced she’s a failure who’s spent her adult life writing about other people’s dreams without ever pursuing her own. Then Lois attends a program of experimental film—and notices what might be a major discovery. Could an early twentieth-century socialite who mysteriously disappeared also have been one of Canada’s first female movie-makers? A sampled piece of silver nitrate silent film footage might prove Lois’s case. But soon, Lois’s quest to discover the truth about Mrs. A. Macalla Whitcomb reveals troubling links between her subject’s life and her own. As the malign influence of Whitcomb’s muse creeps into Lois’s life, even her son is endangered. Increasingly ill and unstable, Lois is tormented by an existential nightmare that’s part Wendish folklore and part cinematic hallucination projected off the screen and into real life.
Expiration Day
by William Campbell PowellIt is the year 2049, and humanity is on the brink of extinction…. Tania Deeley has always been told that she's a rarity: a human child in a world where most children are sophisticated androids manufactured by Oxted Corporation. When a decline in global fertility ensued, it was the creation of these near-perfect human copies called teknoids that helped to prevent the utter collapse of society. Though she has always been aware of the existence of teknoids, it is not until her first day at The Lady Maud High School for Girls that Tania realizes that her best friend, Siân, may be one. Returning home from the summer holiday, she is shocked by how much Siân has changed. Is it possible that these changes were engineered by Oxted? And if Siân could be a teknoid, how many others in Tania's life are not real? Driven by the need to understand what sets teknoids apart from their human counterparts, Tania begins to seek answers. But time is running out. For everyone knows that on their eighteenth "birthdays," teknoids must be returned to Oxted—never to be heard from again. Told in diary format, Expiration Day is the powerful and poignant story of a young girl coming of age and discovering what it means to be truly human by a talented debut novelist.At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.
