Written with the needs of students and general readers in mind, this series presents clear discussions of its topics, explaining terms and references that may be unfamiliar.
Scope & Coverage
These volumes feature important events, movements, people, and trends in popular culture, literature, art, sports, science, technology, economics, and politics in both the United States and Canada throughout each decade. Written with the needs of students and general readers in mind, the Decades in America series presents clear discussions of its topics. Entries fall into the following general categories: arts and architecture, business and economics, crime and the law, disasters and events, film and television, health and medicine, military and war, politics and government, science and technology, sexuality, social issues, sports and popular culture.
Organization & Format
Every essay begins with a clear, concise title followed by a brief description of the person, organization, work, concept or event covered. Further headings attribute authorship, establish a date for the subject, and assign a place or location where appropriate.
Within the text, boldfaced subheads show readers the overall organization of the essay at a glance. Every essay features an "Impact" section, which examines the subject's broader importance. Longer overviews include a section called "Subsequent Events" that sums up later developments. Cross-references at the end of each essay direct readers to additional entries in the encyclopedia on related subjects. Every entry, regardless of length, offers bibliographical notes in order to guide readers to additional information about the topic. Annotations are provided in essays of 1,000 words or more. Every essay includes an author byline.

The 2010s was a turbulent decade that began with two major issues -- an uneven economic recovery and new Internet technologies -- both of which significantly shaped a decade of noteworthy political and economic events. This new title, in two volumes, includes essays on these important events and more, such as the smartphone, increased polarization and politicization, conspiracy theories, and bold, new activist movements focused on race in America. Essays also cover those topics that Americans were most concerned about as the decade drew to a close, including economic divisions, the rise of nationalism, the country’s failing infrastructure, increasing social fragmentation, as well as those persons most responsible. |
