The only volume organized as a textbook, it is a wonderful introduction that offers a fascinating lens for interpreting American cultural history."" --Fred Bartenstein, University of Dayton ""I like this book very much. It contains a wealth of interesting and entertaining information presented in a well-organized, well-written, and engaging fashion that meets a need for an interesting, up-to-date textbook in this field."" --James Harvey, Alvin Community College ""The text is unique and is of extremely high quality.
