  • Military Events - from the War of Independence to the conflicts in Korea, Vietnam and the Gulf, including additional new maps covering the war in Iraq and the American campaign in Afghanistan.
  • Social History - including the fate of the American Indians, the growth of female emancipation, and recent population movements and immigration
  • Transport - from nineteenth-century railroads and canals to the growth of air travel and recent ventures into space
