  • Reports automatically calculate aggregates, percentages, and medians, to save time and eliminate error
  • Simple navigation buttons, a find tool and legend menus guide users easily through the site
  • Online tutorials help users best take advantage of all Social Explorer has to offer

This landmark study has received universal acclaim and major awards in the field, and is now available in an interactive digital format for the first time. Imbued with a panoramic sense of how history, culture, politics, art, literature, religion, and music intersect.
