Brands include Acme, Ballantine, Falstaff, Hamm's, Lone Star, Lucky Lager, Miller, Olympia, Pabst, Rainier, Rheingold, and Schlitz. Archival photography, period advertising, and other breweriana have been sourced from some top collections in the country, illustrating how each brand survived and thrived despite such external factors as wars, Prohibition, and tax hikes, and the ultimate fate of each is explained.

Fun and easy art-appreciation activities abound in this resource that features 75 American artists from colonial times to the present. A brief biography for each artist tells why his or her work is important, and a kid-tested art activity tries out the artist's approach. For Georgia O'Keeffe, children will explore the concept of distance and foreground in a desert painting. To understand Frederic Remington's sculptures, they will create a face cast. Leroy Nieman will inspire a sketch of athletes. And for James Whistler, children will explore portraiture. Projects stress the creative process and encourage kids to try unusual techniques such as block printing, soak-stain, and stone carving as they learn about architecture, drawing, painting, photography, and sculpture. Great American Artists for Kids includes easy-to-follow icons to indicate the experience, preparation, and materials necessary for each project, as well as guides to the style, movement, or era of each artist. Resources include websites for further research or artworks, a glossary, and a list of artists by style.

The fourth volume in the Trailblazers series highlights Black women's contributions in film and television, the sciences, and journalism. Black women have been breaking down barriers and shattering stereotypes for generations, playing a powerful role in American history. In the Trailblazers series, Gabrielle David examines the lives and careers of over four hundred brilliant women from the eighteenth century to the present. Each volume provides biographical information, photographs, and a historical timeline written from the viewpoint of Black women, offering accessible reference resources. This fourth volume of Trailblazers explores the complicated relationship that Hollywood has had with Black women actors; significant Black women in the fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM); and pioneering Black women journalists. David includes actors such as Hattie McDaniel, Fredi Washington, and Nina Mae McKinney who blazed the trail for women like Pam Grier, Halle Berry, and Viola Davis. "Hidden figures" in STEM are brought to light, such as biologist Jewel Plummer Cobb, mathematician Dorothy Vaughan, roboticist Ayanna Howard, and computer scientist Timnit Gebru. In addition, profiles of publishing pioneers like Ida B. Wells-Barnett, Mary Ann Shadd Cary, Josephine St. Pierre Ruffin, and Nancy Hicks Maynard show how they paved the way for Carole Simpson, Yamiche Alcindor, Nikole Hannah-Jones, and Jemele Hill.

There is no denying that Black women have been breaking down barriers and shattering stereotypes for generations by playing a powerful and important role in American history. TRAILBLAZERS, Black Women Who Helped Make America Great, American Firsts/American Icons by Gabrielle David is a six-volume series that examines over 400 brilliant women from the eighteenth century to the present who blazed uncharted paths in every conceivable way. Each volume is organized into sections. Besides providing biographical information written in a warm and welcoming tone, replete with powerful photographs, David provides a historical timeline for each section that maps out the significance of the featured women that follow. Volume 3 features literature, business, the military, and film, music and television production. Literary greats like Gwendolyn Brooks and Toni Morrison rest on the iconic firsts of Lucy Terry, Phillis Wheatley and Harriet E. Wilson, and a new generation like Natasha Trethewey and Jesmyn Ward. We learn that Black ingenuity and entrepreneurship began during slavery beginning with the millionaire Mary Ellen Pleasant, with Maggie Lena Walker and Annie Minerva Turnbo Malone paving the way for the likes of Oprah Winfrey. Beyoncé Knowles-Carter makes an appearance here as a businesswoman, reminding us of her multifaceted talent. David explores the Black women who dared to serve in the United States Armed Forces who served as early as the Civil War, beginning with nurse, cook, and laundress, Susie King Taylor, and Cathay Williams, who enlisted in the U.S. Regular Army as a man; to the ascension of U.S. Navy Admiral Michelle Janine Howard, and U.S. Marine Corp. Brigadier General Lorna Mahlock. Notable contributions have been made by Black women in film, music and television, like pioneering filmmakers Jessie Maple and Kathleen Collins, film directors like Gina Prince-Bythewood, television producer Shonda Rhimes, and music producers like Sylvia Robinson and Suzanne de Passe. Written in accessible prose that contains personal reflections for a broad audience, TRAILBLAZERS also serves as a vital reference guide for use in schools and libraries.
