Extraordinary; Pertinent CoverageBy BernardA refreshingly varied and up-to-date coverage of areas of American culture that have been impacted significantly by Jews.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Covering every aspect of more than three and a half centuries of Jewish immigrantsBy Midwest Book ReviewCollaboratively compiled and co-edited by Stephen H. Norwood and Eunice G. Pollack; the "Encyclopedia Of American Jewish History" is a two volume compendium of information covering every aspect of more than three and a half centuries of Jewish immigrants and their descendants with respect to their influence and impact upon American culture -- as well as the Jewish communities elsewhere in the world. Here detailed are the seminal contributions of Jewish Americans to academia; the arts; politics; the professions; the sciences; music; and American popular culture in general. Enhanced throughout; this two volume set features essays; maps; documents; tables; charts; and a thoroughly 'reader friendly' text that makes it especially appropriate and strongly recommended for school as well as community library Judaic Studies and American History reference collections.
