North America geographically includes the United States of America, the United States of America, as well as Canada.

This first Volume includes only the United states with Alaska. In addition to the rich citations from various sources and the illustrations from them, the work is enriched with photographs of items from museums and private collections, as well as explanatory maps. With more than 870 illustrations, mostly in color, and 73 plates across 480 pages. The second volume covering Canada and Greenland has 212 pages and is available under ISBN 978-3-948396-24-4.weiterlesen
