Library Journal
This is the latest installment of the Gale series documenting the history and social trends of this country during the 20th century. This volume covers the decade when America emerged as a world power, saw its population shift from the farm to the city, watched government challenge big business for the first time, and did little as African Americans continued to lose political and civil rights. Following the format established in previous volumes, the 13 chapters cover history, politics, law, economics, culture, and sports. Each chapter opens with a chronology, followed by a brief essay highlighting the decade's significant events. The main section offers essays on selected people and topics, and the chapter closes with a collection of biographies and a bibliography of period writings. Accenting the text are period photographs, drawings, and other art works. Coverage of each topic is balanced in terms of both the elite and common people and the high arts and everyday affairs. No new additional information appears in this work. Rather, the accessible tone, good index, nice arrangement, and wide coverage makes this a useful reference book or introduction for patrons unfamiliar with this fascinating period. Recommended for school, public, and undergraduate libraries.Stephen L. Hupp, Univ. of Pittsburgh, Johnstown, Pa
This first volume in a series covering the twentieth century by decade is written for junior and senior high school students looking for a brief overview of the events and people of the 1950s. (The volume covering the 1960s will be published in September.) Thirteen alphabetically arranged chapters ranging from the arts to education, government and politics, law, and sports are consistently formatted and supplemented with black-and-white photographs. The major value of the series will be as documentation of the time period Each chapter begins with a relevant chronology and overview and concludes with short biographies of newsmakers, deaths, and a bibliography of important books published in the 1950s. The general bibliography in the back of the volume, which is divided into the same 13 sections as the book, lists current titles. Chapters on the arts, media, sports, and fashion include award winners for each year of the decade. Topics are covered in brief, easily understood sections that will be useful to lower-reading-level students. Sidebars offer additional information on such events and phenomena as Nixon's Checkers speech, the Hollywood blacklist, bomb shelters, and TV dinners. The first chapter is a chronology of world events, those occurring outside of the U.S. However, it includes Eisenhower's 1952 election, but not his reelection (both events are to be found in the "Government and Politics" chronology) The major focus is naturally on the U.S. but worldwide events are mentioned in the analysis. Most topics are easily found in the appropriate chapter from references in the extensive index, but some (e.g., the McCarthy hearings and "Brown "v." Board of Education") are scattered over several chapters. Students might be interested in more illustrations in the "Fashion" chapter, which, in addition to clothing, covers architecture and car design Middle- and high-school libraries that own the Time-Life series, This Fabulous Century, will find some overlap in coverage, but this new series complements the older one. The Time-Life books have a greater reliance on illustrations with more of a focus on popular culture, although they contain lengthier coverage of Joseph McCarthy and his hearings. Facts On File's Day by Day series is not limited to the U.S. but covers world affairs. It has more of an emphasis on politics and gives less coverage to popular culture. The Gale volumes offer libraries coverage of much-researched topics in one series written especially for teens.
