Experience the history and events of distinct eras in America
American Eras is a fascinating, student-friendly reference that's patterned after the Gale's award-winning American Decades series. Like its predecessor, America Eras offers insightful essays on events, publications, lifestyles and individuals important to U.S. history, but reviews them in a broader scope of time.

American Eras is designed as an efficient and cost-effective alternative to maintaining a collection of widely variable, and often incomplete, chronologies, picture books, encyclopedias and statistical sources. 

Each chapter in American Eras provides your students with a unique perspective on the ideas, individuals and events that made each period in American history unique. You'll discover sidebars and illustrations that highlight the norms and values of the day; biographical entries on featured individuals to help readers understand his or her political/social prominence; alphabetically arranged topical essays (covering important events, concepts, innovations, etc.); and charts, graphs, lists, and statistical information providing key social information, such as prices and population shifts.

Each volume contains a chronology of world events that sets a historical framework; a bibliography and a list of contributors for faster reference if more in-depth study is required; an index of photographs to help students quickly identify a person or place in historical context; and an easy-to-use subject index.While Gale strives to replicate print content, some content may not be available due to rights restrictions.Call your Sales Rep for details.

Students will appreciate the wealth of well-organized information while casual readers will enjoy the lively writing style.   -- School Library Journal (August 1999)

Filled with useful information and interesting trivia, this book is fun to read and detailed enough for serious research. -- School Library Journal (November 1997)

American Eras would be an asset for helping high-school students and college underclassmen. The two volumes seen offer a wealth of information presented in an attractive, accessible format and bolstered by careful indexing and conscientious referencing of additional sources. Highly recommended. -- RBB/Booklist (10-15-97)
