American Decades is a cross-disciplinary source for junior and high school students and teachers, public librarians and general researchers who need a single, consistent reference to document and analyze periods of contemporary American social history. The original 10-volume set covers 1900-1999; the additional Volume 11 covers 2000-2009.

Gr 9 Up-This useful, well-organized work offers terse insights into what happened during the decade as well as chronologies; lists; and information on trends, people in the news, awards, deaths, and publications. The 13 thematic chapters cover "World Events," "The Arts," "Business and the Economy," "Education," "Fashion," "Science and Technology," and other broad subject areas. As with many brief summary tools, there is an occasional penchant to interpret for readers. However, this is mostly a straightforward recitation of events, facts, and dates. A 55-page general index and an index of photographs conclude the volume. The black-and-white photographs are generally small, but illustrative. A clear and concise resource.
