A bilingual History of Mexico and US is a new series of bilingual textbooks authored by professional educator, John Meyers, and his wife, Elisa, who is a native Spanish-language speaker.  The inspiration for these books comes from John and Elisa’s desire to present the history of Mexico and the United States from the North American perspective.  Most North American history books begin with events in Europe, and present a European-United States, or a European-Latin American perspective.  This series places the center of gravity in North America and analyses the effects of European involvement on the North American continent.

Besides the unique perspective, which is compelling for native Mexicans and Americans, there are plenty of vivid photographs and illustrations.  The parallel-page bilingual format makes this book an ideal tool for students wanting to strengthen one or the other of their second languages.  Sentences are structured in paragraph format, which adds context to the use of the language.  This is not a phrase book.  The translation covers common descriptive language and idiomatic expressions used in conversational discussion.
