Salem Press: History AMERICAN SECOND EDITION HEROES THE 1910S IN AMERICA Modern Modern Scandals Scandals Great Events from History SECOND EDITION American Heroes This second edition of American Heroes comes at a time in history when the term “hero” is more subjective than ever. Not all heroes are the spotless paragons envisioned in fiction or in history books. In today’s world, the information age and dwindling privacy position many of our modern heroes against their very human flaws—perhaps making their accomplishments all the more remarkable. American Heroes profiles more than 220 individuals who place others above self and who invoke courage to take risks to better the world, from the American Revolution through today. Profiled individuals span 39 areas of achievement, including Aviation and Space Exploration, Engineering, Environmentalism, Government and Politics, Invention and Technology, Literature, Medicine, Public Health, Social Reform, Sports, and Women’s Rights, and come from all walks of life and a variety of ethnic backgrounds. FEBRUARY 2019, Second Edition Three Volumes, 800 Pages ISBN: 978-1-64265-058-7 List Price: $295 Great Events from History: LGBTQ Events This new edition in the Great Events series chronicles important historical events that have identified, defined, and legally established the rights of the gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender communities. In the last ten years alone, the world has witnessed significant events that have broken down barriers, both socially and legally, making enormous strides to end discrimination against the LGBTQ community. This set selects events that help to mark the definition of “gender,” the emergence of social, cultural, and political movements, and the struggles to gain civil rights. Designed for history students at the high school and undergraduate levels, public librarians will also find the set, and the series as a whole, invaluable as a reference tool for students and general readers at all academic levels.

Entries discuss America’s love affair with the automobile, a “longer” day for urban dwellers made possible by electricity, changes in jobs and earnings due to the millions of immigrants who entered the country at the beginning of the decade, a rise in divorce, and, of course, the Great World War. Every entry focuses on a topic or person during the 1910s that made the decade unique. Salem’s Decades series has been acclaimed as effective teaching aids that enable students to better understand significant aspects of each decade’s history. Written to be understood by high school students and college undergraduates, these volumes offer a clear and innovative approach to North America that can also be used by advanced students and scholars.
