Social Explorer

Social Explorer aims to facilitate demographic and social scientific research in a variety of contexts—in the classroom (in history, science, sociology, geography, political science, and other subjects), in academic research, in market research, and more. Subscription users have access to professional-grade research and mapping tools that fit a variety of needs, as well as technical support and access to new data and features as they become available.

Our primary functions include Demographic Data Analysis, Interactive Map/Report Design and Software Development.  Our main goal is to visually display the demographic change that has occurred in the U.S. since 1790 through the present, for the country over all down to the level of the county. For more recent years, one can display areas as small as your own neighborhood. Certain cities may even be displayed as far back as 1910. To do this we have developed a collection of interactive demographic maps that can be viewed, queried and manipulated on our site. – Publisher’s blurb.

World Affairs

World Affairs is a small journal that argues the big ideas behind U.S. foreign policy. The journal celebrates and encourages heterodoxy and open debate. Recognizing that miscalculation and hubris are not beyond our capacity, we wish more than anything else to debate and clarify what America faces on the world stage and how it ought to respond.
