Designed for students and professionals, the volumes are extensively indexed with appendices to facilitate research within decades. Through the key indicators, readers will grasp the enormity of social change and societal values that have caused America to evolve from a sleepy, isolationist country at the beginning of the century into the most influential nation in the modern world.
