'Historical Statistics of the United States ... contains an indispensable collection of data on every conceivable subject in American history, from population shifts to economic production, motor vehicle deaths to sources of energy.' Eric Foner, Professor of History, Columbia University 'Forthcoming from Cambridge University Press in the spring of 2006 is an update of a landmark reference long overdue for revision. Historical Statistics of the United States: The Millennial Edition, a compendium of statistics from over 1000 sources last updated in the distant 1975, has been expanded to include over 37,000 data series - three times more than in the previous edition - and dozens of new topics, among them slavery, American Indians, and poverty. The monumental five-volume work will be available in both print and electronic format.' Library Journal Reference Roundup 'Personally, I found this revision to be an outstanding achievement. The depth and scope of the material is impressive and when coupled with the ability to use the data electronically the HSUS becomes one of the premiere research tools for statistical analysis.' Aimee C. Quinn, Assistant Professor and Assistant Documents Librarian, and Richard J. Daley Library, University of Illinois at Chicago 'This is a serious academic resource that should be respected for the depth of its scholarship and extent of its detail ... an easily accessible resource providing the available statistical data is an invaluable asset ... hopefully this format will provide a model for future historical resources concerned with the analysis of statistical data.'
