Book Description
Organized year-by-year, comprises deftly written entries on a myriad facets of history, art and literature, science, and popular culture. Each entry includes at least one reference forward or backward to a specific year and entry on a related subject or theme. Expert page design allows clear presentation of some 2,500 well-chosen images. Supplemental features include essays by the likes of Stephen Jay Gould, Mary Gordon, and Sir Arthur C. Clarke; contemporary texts selected to illuminate an event or an aspect of the culture pertinent to each year; lists of births and deaths; capsulized stories of international interest and of specifically American interest; and a few lines of tiny print at the foot of each page summarizing significant events and data. In short, this encyclopedia is a good browse and reference, impressively well-planned and executed; it will no doubt be periodically brought up to date beyond its current ending year of 1993. A CD-ROM has reportedly been published in conjunction with the book. Annotation copyright by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

Book Description
Written by a diverse group of authors who are experts in their field, the sixth edition of this widely-used text continues to meet the needs of professors and students alike. Its clear prose weaves basic factual information and sufficient analysis to create a user-friendly text for students while still allowing for professors' personal interpretation. The first chapter introduces five key topics whose influence on the various developments and events in the 20th century are chronologically discussed throughout the text. Additions to this edition include further analysis of earlier periods based on recent scholarship, colourful new quotations, new suggested sources, more emphasis on social, economic, cultural and women's history and an updated chapter on the post-Cold War world. More analysis, less detailed and refined prose combine with these new and retained features to make this a thorough, balanced and accessible source for this past century's history.
