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
