商品簡介
This three-volume reference offers an unusual approach to history. In a brief introduction, which is included in each volume, Nelson (whose credentials are not stated) enthusiastically explains his interest in presenting snapshot-like profiles of each year, beginning with 1732 and ending with 2000. For each, narrative entries describe what was happening in terms of the administration's activities as well as what was happening in the lives and careers of former presidents, and of future presidents. Entries range in length from a single line (e.g. "Ulysses S. Grant, 2, was an infant in Ohio") to many paragraphs. Annotation (c) Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
