Gale,West's Encyclopedia of American Law in 13 Volumes 6727 pages
The new edition of this standard legal reference is a worthy successor
to the original. The encyclopedia contains a comprehensive overview of

Don't Know Much About History
When "Don't Know Much About History" first appeared in 1990, it was simply meant to serve as a fresh new take on American history. Busting myths with a dose of humor and real stories about real people, the book was conceived as an antidote to the dull, dreary textbooks we suffered through in high school or college.
With the same question-and-answer style, this updated, revised, and greatly expanded edition brings history right up to Bill Clinton's impeachment and the bizarre 2000 election. Incorporating new discoveries, revelations, and theories about America's past, this revised edition elaborates on such long-standing American controversies as the
Jefferson-Hemings affair, the Hiss and Rosenberg cases, and the Iran-Contra adventure.
For history buffs and history-phobes, longtime fans and a new generation still in the dark about America's past, this book provides "Everything You Need to Know About American History". And more!
