E-raamat: American History Highway: A Guide to Internet Resources on U.S., Canadian, and Latin American History: A Guide to Internet Resources on U.S., Canadian, and Latin American History [Taylor & Francis e-raamat]

Designed for students, teachers, researchers, and lay readers interested in history, Trinkle (information technology, Valparaiso U.) and Merriman's (U. of Kentucky and U. of Maryland) guide lists some 1,700 historical websites which were selected based on their quality, utility, and reliability. The text opens with a short primer on Internet basics for those with limited experience, including a section on evaluating Internet resources. The bulk of the text is the list of the sites themselves, organized into 37 thematic chapters, covering North and South America, every period of U.S. history, and topics such as Native American history, Hispanic American history, African American history, Asian American history, the American West, immigration, environmentalism, women's history, and military history. Each entry contains the website name, address, and a brief description of the site contents. The text includes a CD-ROM with live links. Annotation ©2007 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
