Alice C. Andrews and James W. Fonseca, whose Atlas of American
Higher Education was hailed for its unique approach to statistical
information and whose research for this new Atlas has been
prominently featured in the Wall Street Journal and the Boston
Globe, here provide a geographic window onto the most pressing
social issues of our time. Too often, information about
America--its culture and politics, affluence and poverty, health
and medical care, crime and education--is presented in the form of
dry statistics that do not convey critical trends and patterns. In
this unprecedented volume, two respected geographers present dozens
of maps that depict, at a glance, the topography of America's
social well-being. Among the many topics covered are: cultural
diversity and immigration; income, poverty and unemployment;
lifestyle risks including drug abuse, smoking and auto fatalities;
access to medical care; medical costs; status of women, children,
and senior citizens; marriage and divorce; teen pregnancy and
non-marital births; school dropouts; abortion; death rates from
AIDS, cancer, suicide and infant mortality; violent crime and
homelessness. The Atlas of American Society maps out a
comprehensive picture of an America rarely seen in such breadth.
