Grade 9 Up–Eight chapters build a chronology from 1890 to 1920, allowing readers to track the step-by-step development of several reform movements at the heart of progressivism, such as the beginning of conservation initiatives and the movement to end child labor. Other topics include Americas rise to world power, 1898-1901; the impact of World War I; and the role of entertainment, sports, and the fine arts in defining the era. Each chapter includes a chronology that lists yearly events by month and relevant primary sources. The placement of first-person accounts within chapters is an outstanding feature, particularly for students who want to explore a range of viewpoints. Black-and-white captioned photographs illustrate the text. The book includes three appendixes: documents, including presidential addresses, passages excerpted from books, and Congressional legislation; Biographies of Major Personalities; and tables and maps. Overall, this useful tool will best be utilized by students needing to do in-depth research.–Patricia Ann Owens, Wabash Valley College, Mt. Carmel, IL
