Product Description
Offering instructors and students a lower-price alternative to the regular editions of our leading textbooks, the Norton Seagulls feature inviting, clear designs that focus student attention on the texts themselves. These compact books are portable, affordable, and authoritative. The Seagull Edition of Eric Foner's Give Me Liberty! An American History contains the complete text of the regular edition. Acclaimed by instructors and students and adopted at hundreds of colleges and universities across the country, Give Me Liberty! provides a fresh and effective approach to the survey. Its single-author narrative gives students a clear, coherent introduction to American history. The theme of American freedom enriches the narrative, integrates the book's coverage of social and political history, and motivates the study of history by alerting students to how much is at stake in having a knowledge of our past. The book is supported by the same full array of print and electronic ancillaries as the regular edition.

A deep insight into America November 20, 2008
I have always considered myself knowledageable with History, but this book and the accompanying college course made me realize how little I really know. What is great about this flavor of Give Me Liberty is that it is the Seagull edition, which means it is bascially the same size as your high dollar paper back, but more dense due to the paper being used. While reading, the smaller pages allowed me break chapters down easier, and I do not miss the pictures.
I also noticed that your usual wear and tear is less due to the reduced size.
So in closing, this book is a great deal. Not only is the price already reduced because it is a seagull edition, Amazon is noticeably lower as well.
I didn't know that reading this book would change how I live my life June 14, 2008

This was required for college and read several chapters before dropping the class because of an inferior professor, while there maybe several stories and versions of what happened in American History, the one thing that has changed my life from reading this book is that, people who call people by other names (not referring to nicknames) is traced back to the slave period when slave owners re-named their slaves as an act of control or hate. I no longer tolerate anyone calling me anything other than my name as I know know it's a hostile act against me.
