It covers events, movements, people, and trends in popular culture, literature, art, sports, science, technology, economics, and politics in the United States and Canada. The Seventies in America features both longer overviews and shorter entries discussing people, books, films, television series, musical groups, and other important topics. Every entry focuses on that topic or person during the 1970's (1/1/70 to 12/31/79) in order to explore what made the decade unique. Topics that span several decades may provide some background and aftermath information to help place the 1970's in perspective. The Seventies in America contains 672 essays, in alphabetical order, ranging from 500 to 3,000 words in length. Written with the needs of students and general readers in mind, the essays present clear discussions of their topics, explaining terms and references that may be unfamiliar. The Seventies in America contains 300 photographs of the decade's people and events and numerous graphs, charts, and sidebars highlighting interesting facts and trends from the era. Organization & Format Every essay begins with a clear, concise title followed by a brief description of the person, organization, work, concept or event covered. Further headings attribute authorship, establish a date for the subject, and assign a place or location where appropriate. Every essay includes a heading called "Significance," which offers a brief assessment of what made the topic important during the 1970s. Within the text, boldfaced subheads show readers the overall organization of the essay at a glance. Every essay features an "Impact" section, which examines the subject's broader importance. Longer overviews include a section called "Subsequent Events" that sums up later developments. Cross-references at the end of each essay direct readers to additional entries in the encyclopedia on related subjects.
