Editorial Reviews

Gr 7 Up--Through text and graphics, this resource describes each of the 53 presidential elections in the history of the U.S. Starting with the election of 1824, popular votes are also included. One or two pages of text discuss important aspects of and background information leading up to the election and the various issues that helped decide it. A comprehensive index adds to the research value of this title. Students will find it an easy-to-use tool. The line-drawn, colored-shaded maps offer graphic representation of election results, while charts and tables provide, in one handy source, the statistics that so often elude students.--Dana McDougald, Cedar Shoals High School, Athens, GA
