Berkshire Publishing Group is a U.S.-based publisher specializing in books with a global perspective. Our goal is to help Americans, and others, better understand the world we share. This means providing material that offers new points of view. Our next publication for students, and journalists, too, is the first general resource to explore the global role and image of the United States, from its founding to the present. This work is called Global Perspectives on the United States. Volumes 1 and 2 contain nation-by-nation surveys written by experts, timelines, biographies, and much more, and Volume 3 surveys major concepts and issues in U.S. relations with the rest of the world.

Thank you.
