Product Review
This hefty one-volume reference to American history offers nearly 3,000 articles providing the essential details to major events as well as little-known episodes. With Yale historian John Mack Faragher as editor, an advisory board of seven historians put considerable thought into the encyclopedia's organization and contents, and the wealth of material contained in its more than 1,000 pages is staggering. The articles are well written and loaded with information. And not only is the book a serious reference source, it's also a feast for the historically minded browser, as it contains countless brief articles on subjects ranging from the Bay Psalm Book to Milton Berle.
From School Library Journal
Grade 9 Up-This concise, complete overview has more than 2750 alphabetically arranged entries that range in length from 2100-word essays to less than 50-word identifications. Each article has been written by a subject specialist. The inclusion of recent social history, while still doing full justice to traditional topics, makes this work invaluable. The appendixes include the Declaration of Independence; the Constitution; lists of U.S. presidents, chief justices, and associate justices of the Supreme Court; and Timetables of American History broken down into five eras. Numerous pictures, maps, drawings, and cartoons add to the appeal of the vibrant and accessible text. The index is clear and complete, and a helpful list of illustration credits supplies readers with source material. A must for all high school libraries.
