about Threads of History
by Mike Henry, PhD
for AP* U.S. History

"I used Threads last year as my primary in-class review text. What I like about Threads is it's cross-period thematic focus. It helps students make broader connections with the historical developments. The Teacher's Edition contains great essay resources, too. Well worth looking into!"

about Mastering the Essay
by Tony Maccarella
for AP* European History

"Mastering the Essay has been a great addition to my class. Most of my students are sophomores, so they are not familiar with the writing process expected by the College Board. Using this resource, I am able to guide my students through the stages of writing successful SAQs, LEQs and DBQs. The examples in the book provide a great review of the historical time periods, perfect to use prior to the AP exam. I use the vocabulary list in the back of the book for my afternoon review sessions."

"Mike Henry's Threads of History has been—by far—the book my students consistently say is the most helpful as they review for the AP exam. Each year many of my students purchase some of the other major review books, but without fail the class consensus is that the Henry book is absolutely the best."
