Database Demonstration:
Greenwood Daily Life Through
History Online



Join MLNC and Greenwood Press for a demonstration of Greenwood's
Daily Life Through History Online.Greenwood Daily Life Online
explores everyday life past and present. What did people eat, wear, use?
What did they hope, invent, sing? We spend most of our lives preoccupied
with mundane but essential things. Our activities rarely rise to the
level of greatness, and that was true in the past as well. If we are to
understand history, we must look at people's everyday lives. Greenwood
Daily Life Online brings history up close by providing award-winning
content in an authoritative and accessible database.
Content Includes:
- Material written and reviewed by established scholars
- Full range of depth from short entries to chapter-long
discussions
- More than 10,000 book pages and 4,000,000 words
- Teacher lesson plans, correlated to the National Center for
History in the Schools standards
- Links to hundreds of authoritative, vetted academic and cultural
Web sites
- Regular updates and enhancements
- More than 1,200 color and black-and-white images
- Maps, illustrations, and timelines
