American History: Document Based Investigation Workbook (HMH Social Studies Series)
by Houghton Mifflin HarcourtA document-based investigation (DBI) requires you to use a source or a group of sources to produce a written response or some form of presentation. DBIs cannot be answered without a careful analysis of source materials. Unlike a math problem that you can work out in your head, finding the answer to a document-based investigation depends on the use of at least one outside reference. This workbook contains 19 activities. First you will study a collection of source materials and answer short questions about each one, using the writing space provided. The documents and questions will help you develop a response to the essay or presentation topic. In the second part of the activity, you will see a prompt to which you must provide a response. You must base your response on some or all of the source materials. The prompt is called the Task.

American Hotel: The Waldorf-Astoria and the Making of a Century
by David FreelandCompleted in 1931, New York’s Waldorf-Astoria towers over Park Avenue as an international landmark and a masterpiece of Art Deco architecture. A symbol of elegance and luxury, the hotel has hosted countless movie stars, business tycoons, and world leaders over the past ninety years. American Hotel takes us behind the glittering image to reveal the full extent of the Waldorf’s contribution toward shaping twentieth-century life and culture. Historian David Freeland examines the Waldorf from the opening of its first location in 1893 through its rise to a place of influence on the local, national, and international stage. Along the way, he explores how the hotel’s mission to provide hospitality to a diverse range of guests was put to the test by events such as Prohibition, the anticommunist Red Scare, and civil rights struggles. Alongside famous guests like Frank Sinatra, Martin Luther King, Richard Nixon, and Eleanor Roosevelt, readers will meet the lesser-known men and women who made the Waldorf a leader in the hotel industry and a key setting for international events. American Hotel chronicles how institutions such as the Waldorf-Astoria played an essential role in New York’s growth as a world capital.
American Jaguar: Big Cats, Biogeography, and Human Borders
by Elizabeth WebbIn the borderlands between the United States and Mexico, America's largest cat—the jaguar—is fighting to regain its kingdom. Added to the endangered species list in 1997, the jaguar has declined in population mainly due to habitat fragmentation created by roads, farms, mines, and most controversially, the border wall. Such human-made barriers prevent free movement of many wild animals for predation and mating, thereby threatening their reproduction, DNA transfer, and overall survival. Author and wildlife biologist Elizabeth Webb examines the jaguar's predicament and highlights the work of field scientists who are searching for solutions. "Conservation Connection" features throughout the book underscore the importance of protecting this keystone species of the Americas.
