Editorial Reviews

Understanding how American life and culture has changed over several lifetimes is an intriguing starting point for learning about history. Each volume presents a broad overview of how one aspect of life has changed from the 1950s to the present. . . .This series provides a good opening to a discussion of change over time, but expect to spend more time discussing the photographs than the text.
