ISBN: 9780816506934.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHailed as a model state history thanks to Thomas E. Sheridans thoughtful analysis and lively interpretation of the people and events shaping the Grand Canyon State, Arizona has become a standard in the field. Now, just in time for Arizonas centennial, Sheridan has revised and expanded this already top-tier state history to incorporate events and changes that have taken place in recent years. Addressing contemporary issues like land use, water rights, dramatic population increases, suburban sprawl, and the US-Mexico border, the new material makes the book more essential than ever. It successfully places the forty-eighth states history within the context of national and global events. No other book on Arizona history is as integrative or comprehensive.\nFrom stone spear points more than 10,000 years old to the boom and bust of the housing market in the first decade of this century, Arizona: A History explores the ways in which Native Americans, Hispanics, African Americans, Asians, and Anglos have inhabited and exploited Arizona. Sheridan, a life-long resident of the state, puts forth new ideas about what a history should be, embracing a holistic view of the region and shattering the artificial line between prehistory and history. Other works on Arizonas history focus on government, business, or natural resources, but this is the only book to meld the ethnic and cultural complexities of the states history into the main flow of the story.\nA must read for anyone interested in Arizonas past or present, this extensive revision of the classic work will appeal to students, scholars, and general readers alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"University of Arizona Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44945428447285,"sku":"ByrdShop_0816506930","price":32.44,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780816506934_e40d2a76-2756-43e5-b745-b92254e9d01f.jpg?v=1778663095","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/arizona-a-history-revised-edition-southwest-center-series-9780816506934","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
