FROM THE PUBLISHER
The fascinating history of America has now been condensed into a compact, easy-to-use overview of the nation's development. The New York Public Library American History Desk Reference is packed with information on a variety of topics from military and foreign affairs to education and science. Information is organized into detailed timelines highlighting events throughout America's history, along with numerous sidebars, photos, maps, brief biographies, and trivia tidbits, making this book the ultimate "look-it-up" book.
"The New York Public Library American History Desk Reference is a handy and indispensable reference useful for more than just looking up the odd fact. It offers a complete look at the varied aspects of American history . . . .I can think of few better books to have on a deserted island." --Douglas Brinkley, New York Times Notable author of The Unfinished Presidency of Jimmy Carter, from the Introduction
With chapters ranging from "Exploration and Colonization" to "A Rural to An Urban Nation," this is the book for any reader with an interest in the past or the desire to know how we got to the point where we are today.
