Native Americans Today: A Biographical Dictionary
Native Americans Today: A Biographical Dictionary focuses on the lives of contemporary Native Americans. Such treatments are rare, as most Native American biographies are historical (pre-1900) and cover familiar figures. Profiles collected here are written to be enjoyable as well as instructive, presented as examples of personal storytelling that should be savored not only for their factual content, but also for the humanity they evoke.

Словарь, который вы держите в руках, — необычный. Можно сказать, что ему нет аналогов в российской (да и в английской) лексикографии, хотя словари для переводчиков — дело не новое.
Encyclopedia of American History (11 volume set)With its release in 2003, the Encyclopedia of American History relegated many similar titles to the realm of obsolescence. Drawing on a wealth of current scholarly study, this revision not only contains new entries for the years since 2003 (the entry for Barack Obama, for example) but, with several hundred additional entries and revisions, provides significant updates and expansion to the entire set. Almost one-third of the more than 3,300 entries are new or revised.
