ReviewsEach volume in this series consists of chapters that highlight major developments in national and world politics, history, medicine, the arts, sports, lifestyles, etc. The final chapter, "Looking Ahead," sets the stage for the next volume. The mainly color photographs and illustrations drive the easy-to-read narrative. Events such as the 1899 U.S. war in the Philippines to prevent its independence and the U.S. as a participant in the Boxer Rebellion are discussed. A small map showing the location of the event would have been useful. The essentially simple sentence structure works well for older students needing hi-lo resources. Bibliography. Chronology.

SynopsisThe 1990's economic prosperity and technological advancement are counterbalanced by a sharp rise in terrorism. Following a military and diplomatic triumph in the first Persian Gulf War, Americans focus largely on domestic issues. Despite enhanced communications via the Internet, the world is slow to react to growing humanitarian crises in Africa and the Balkans. In the music world, grunge and hip-hop dominate the scene. Through dynamic photographs and interesting text, see how the 1990s were a time of prosperity and growth., Technology leaped forward during the 1990s. Many people logged on to the Internet for the first time. Scientists explored Mars with a rover. They also learned how to clone animals. But the world also endured hardships during the decade. War broke out in the Persian Gulf. Terrorists blew up buildings. A deadly disease spread through Africa, killing millions. It was the 1990s - a decade of technology and tragedy. Book jacket.
