Texts for Dr. Isern's
Section of HIST 103
Texts for this section of 103 are not necessarily the same as for other sections, so read this! Required Text The required text is Democracy in America, by Alexis de Tocqueville (New York: NAL/Dutton, 1956.) This is an abridged and inexpensive edition of a lengthy work first published a century and a half ago. There are regular, required reading assignments in the Tocqueville text. OptionalThere is no big, general textbook for the course. Save your money. A free option for those who would like a backup text providing basic facts in support of lecture is to consult online texts.
