About the Book

This stunning and cutting-edge package provides access to the world as reflected in its most influential and respected newspaper. From wars and political assassinations to social movements and space exploration, all the news that is fit to print-or download-can be found in this extraordinary book-and-DVD set.
More than 300 of the most significant "New York Times" front pages have been carefully selected and beautifully reproduced in the book. Read the headlines and stories covering such world-changing events as Abraham Lincoln's assassination, Charles Lindbergh's transatlantic flight, Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor, Martin Luther King, Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech, and the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. Ten foldouts present twenty key front pages at their magnificent full size. News summaries throughout highlight the most significant events of each era and put the front pages into a historical context. Seventeen insightful essays by prominent "Times" writers comment on pivotal moments, including "The End of Slavery" by William Safire, "Women's Suffrage" by Gail Collins, and "The Age of Television" by Frank Rich.
The 3 DVDs include each of the 54,266 front pages printed by the "Times" over the past 157 years. Completely searchable and user-friendly, the disks are designed to provide access to the full stories that made front-page news each day since the paper's founding in 1851. Click on a page-the day you were born, for example-and you're instantly transported to the "Times'" online archive.
"The New York Times: The Complete Front Pages" is the ultimate gift for history buffs, news junkies, students, and anyone who strives to be well-informed.
DVD-ROMs run on a PC (Windows 2000/XP or later) or Mac (OSX I0.4.8 or later) with Adobe 8.o or later. Free download available on the DVD-ROMs.
