Book Report (November/December 1998)
The
decades of 20th-century America — some of the most diverse and dramatic
intervals in the history of mankind — have been singled out for coverage in
this new CD based on the ALA-RASD award-winning print series, American
Decades.
Changes
and challenges unique to each 10-year period are covered with extraordinary
depth and thoroughness through thousands of topic essays and biographies,
including expanded biographical coverage of approximately 300 influential
persons. In addition, the CD features:
More than 1,200 photos and illustrations
Video and audio clips of significant events
200 primary documents, including news articles, excerpts
from literary works, important legislation and more.
An extensive assortment of lists and tables of each year, including award
winners, obituaries, wage and price information, and popular songs, film and
literature
A navigable timeline that features both world and national
events
Students
and other researchers can explore American life during the 20th century from
many different perspectives, including the arts, business and the economy,
education, fashion, government and politics, law, lifestyles and social
trends, medicine and health, religion, science and technology and sports.
Users
can search the CD using the "Browse a Decade" interface, which makes
it easy to focus on desired decades and subject matter. Searches can also be
conducted using subject terms, keywords, personal names or dates; advanced
searches allow the use of Boolean operators. Extensive hyperlinking lets
researchers quickly jump from entry to entry for purpose of comparison.
