Series Review: American History Milestones"The books feature bright, clear layouts, with primary-source photographs, reproductions, and documents filling the pages. Picture captions are in different colors and fonts throughout. Headings break up the chapters into smaller chunks of information. A particularly noteworthy feature of the books is the inclusion of graphic organizers throughout, which provide concise, visual representations of key facts such as causes and effects of events, flowcharts, and concept webs..."
