The Pacific Northwest: Past, Present, and Future
Instructional Resource Packet

The Pacific Northwest: Past, Present, and Future by Dale Lambert, the most widely used textbook written on the history of our Pacific Northwest region, is now in its Fifth Edition with a 2006 copyright. The regional format, discussing Washington, Oregon, and Idaho emphasizes the Pacific Northwest's major geologic events, geographic aspects, historical trends, demographic patterns, cultural diversity, governmental organization, socioeconomic development, recreational opportunities, and environmental concerns. The Fifth Edition clearly fulfills the academic content mandated requirements for high school graduation. It exceeds Washington's rigorous K-12 Social Studies EALR standards and benchmarks for Certificate of Mastery. Likewise this text meets the statewide adoption standards for Oregon and Idaho.

Each chapter begins with a two-page format that emphasizes important items germane to the chapter: Current Issues Update, Keys to Understanding, and an Overview. The book contains informative charts, detailed maps, special topic vignettes, biographical sketches, complete timelines, historic paintings, archival photos, 3-D graphs, and more than 400 vivid color photos of the Pacific Northwest. Also included for the student's educational benefit are challenging student activities, a comprehensive index, and an informative glossary of terms and key concepts. We encourage teachers to call or email for a preview copy of this or any of our textbooks. You may examine the book for 30 days or longer upon approval if your district/school is going through an adoption process. Thank you.
