Publisher's Synopsis
First published by the Bureau of the Census in two large volumes, Historical Statistics is an essential tool for economists, historians, political scientists, sociologists, demographers, teachers, policy makers, and business. On CD-ROM the complete text and all tables of Historical Statistics will be accessible by a few key strokes. The chapters of Historical Statistics cover such topics as population, migration, prices, national income, and social statistics, but there are also chapters offering detailed tables of data on health and medical care, environmental questions, business activity, communications, international trade, and government regulation. No other source provides such a wide range of authoritative, fully-documented data in such an easily accessible form.
