Beginning with 1900, four (usually) pages of text and pictures are devoted to each year of the 20th century. Lesser events have one-sentence descriptions; more important events are presented like newspaper stories (they are not, however, real newspaper articles), and are often accompanied by pictures in either b&w or color, about 1,300 in all. Three periods (1900-16, 1917-45, and 1946-99) earn one-page introductions. Appendices provide descriptions and pictures of the century's presidents, pictures of millennial celebrations around the world, selected statistics (population, immigration, etc), and profiles of the five states that joined the Union in the 20th century. As is true of most DK publications, this book is meant for the popular trade market, not for the scholar. What unfolds is a portrait of the way America likes to think of itself: a world-leader and nation that though imperfect, realizes its mistakes. Oversize: 9x11<">. Annotation c.

Here's a book that takes advantage of the unique perspective offered by the new century. 1,300 photographs and illustrations, along with newspaper-style articles, tell the story of the nation's rise to world leadership. In addition to economic and democratic prowess, America's Century reviews achievements in the arts, popular culture and sports. This comprehensive volume revisits the events that shaped a nation's consciousness, from the Great Depression to the moon landing, from the civil unrest of the sixties to the booming economy of the nineties. This fascinating look at the last 100 years of America's journey will entertain and amaze.
