Imagine getting stitches without an anesthetic to dull the pain. Imagine having to fight off polio, a disease that causes paralysis and sometimes death, because there is no vaccine for it. There was a time when anesthetics and vaccines didn’t exist. Life was a lot more painful and dangerous. While these two things have had nearly miraculous effects on medicine, other breakthroughs have also transformed and saved lives, such as artificial limbs and organ transplants. Still others such as gene therapy, promise future miracles. This enlightening series guides readers through such innovations to provide a comprehensive yet comprehensible understanding of their far-reaching effects.

“A little rebellion now and then is a good thing, and as necessary in the political world as storms in the physical,” mused Thomas Jefferson. Rebellions have undeniably played a large part in the evolution of the United States. Many were unsuccessful at the time but had lasting ramifications that led to great social and political change, such as John Brown’s raid on the Harpers Ferry arsenal in 1859. Each comprehensive volume in this must-read series presents the circumstances that led to an uprising, key players involved, essential events that led to its success or failure, and its impact on American history.

• Striking historical images support and enhance the insightful text • Each volume offers a unique lens through which to view a time period in American history • Offers readers opportunities for analysis of cause and effect and chronology of events, an important standard of the English Language Arts Common Core
