The historical dictionaries present essential information on a broad range
of subjects, including American and world history, art, business, cities,
countries, cultures, customs, film, global conflicts, international relations,
literature, music, philosophy, religion, sports, and theater. Written by experts,
all contain highly informative introductory essays of the topic and detailed
chronologies that, in some cases, cover vast historical time periods but still
manage to heavily feature more recent events.
Brief A–Z entries describe the main people, events, politics, social issues,
institutions, and policies that make the topic unique, and entries are cross-
referenced for ease of browsing. Extensive bibliographies are divided into
several general subject areas, providing excellent access points for students,
researchers, and anyone wanting to know more. Additionally, maps, pho-
tographs, and appendixes of supplemental information aid high school and
college students doing term papers or introductory research projects. In short,
the historical dictionaries are the perfect starting point for anyone looking to
research in these fields.
