This new, eBook-only edition -- part of the revolutionary Gale Virtual Reference Library -- extends the scope of this popular print reference, from prehistory through 2004. With nearly 30 percent more entries than the print edition, the eBook goes beyond the wars, treatises and political events readily found in traditional history resources. And with its electronic search capabilities, users can more easily put history into context when looked alongside other topics.
Each chronological chapter is further organized by era or year, and within each year by standard subject categories. Almost every year contains entries under the following 33 standard subject categories:
Political Events
Human Rights, Social Justice
Philanthropy
Exploration, Colonization
Commerce
Retail, Trade
Energy
Transportation
Technology
Science
Medicine
Religion
Education
Communications, Media
Literature
Art
Photography
Theater, Film
Music
Sports
Everyday Life
Tobacco
Crime
Architecture, Real Estate
Environment
Marine Resources
Agriculture
