With each image printed on card stock so as to be durable and easy to reproduce, this large ring binder is part of a series designed to provide educators with an accessible collection of visual resources for the classroom. The timelines of this volume provide the organizing structure for the outline of history contained on each page. The volume begins with the western hemisphere, with many sections on US history through the present. Other topics include shorter sections on the history of the rest of the world. Three major parts of the volume provide outlines of world history, modern global history, and daily life and culture. Annotation ©2003 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
This 11-volume set features biographical information on about 950 well-known and lesser-known African American women in a variety of fields and professions, as well as historical information about 100 institutions. Each subject volume is organized alphabetically by surname or organization and includes an introductory chapter, chronology (most covering through 1995), bibliography, index, black-and-white photographs, and content information about the entire set. The volume on law and government, for example, includes newsmakers such as Barbara Jordan, Shirley Chisholm, Carol Mosley-Braun, and Anita Hill, while Science, Health, and Medicine features Rebecca Lee Crumpler, considered to be the first black female physician; former Surgeon General Jocelyn Elders; and Henrietta Lacks, the young cancer patient after whom HeLa cells were named. Although the entries are well-written and -researched, information about contributing editors was not included, and direct quotations lack footnotes. Still, this richly personal and readable resource gives the lay audience at which it is clearly aimed a 400-year perspective on the achievement of black women in America, providing inspiration and insight to people of varying backgrounds and ages. Recommended for larger public libraries, secondary schools, and undergraduate collections.Elizabeth Connor, Univ. of Connecticut Health Ctr. Lib., Farmington
