    <![CDATA[<em>Only Yesterday </em>deals with that delightful decade from the Armistice in November 1918 to the panic and depression of 1929&#8211;30. Here is the story of Woodrow Wilson's defeat, the Harding scandals, the Coolidge prosperity, the revolution in manners and morals, the bull market and its smash-up. Allen's lively narrative brings back an endless variety of half-forgotten events, fashions, crazes, and absurdities. Deftly written, with a humorous touch, <em>Only Yesterday</em> traces, beneath the excitements of day-to-day life in the 20s, those currents in national life and thought which are the essence of true history.]]>

    <![CDATA[Frederick Lewis Allen was one of the pioneers in social history. Best known as  the author of Only Yesterday, Allen originated a model of what is sometimes  called instant history, the reconstruction of past eras through vivid commentary  on the news, fashions, customs, and artifacts that altered the pace and forms  of American life. The Big Change was Allen's last and most ambitious book.  In it he attempted to chart and explain the progressive evolution of American  life over half a century. Written at a time of unprecedented optimism and  prosperity, The Big Change defi nes a transformative moment in American  history and provides an implicit and illuminating perspective on what has  taken place in the second half of the twentieth century.]]>

    <![CDATA[&quot;For, Lo! We live in an Iron Age--In the age of Steam and Fire!&quot; wrote a poet mesmerized by the engines that were transforming American transportation, agriculture, and industry during his lifetime. Indeed, by the nineteenth century fire had become America's leitmotif--for good and for ill. &quot;Keeping the flame&quot; was deadly serious: even the slightest lapse of attention could convert a fire from friendly ally to ravaging destroyer. To examine the cultural context of fire in &quot;combustible America,&quot; Margaret Hazen and Robert Hazen gather more than a hundred illustrations, most never before published, together with anecdotes and information from hundreds of original sources, including newspapers, diaries, company records, popular fiction, art, and music. What results is an immensely entertaining and encyclopedic history that ranges from stories of the tragic &quot;great fires&quot; of the century to fire imagery in folktales and popular literature. Dealing more with technology than with fire in nature, the book provides a vast amount of information on fire manipulation and prevention in urban life. Hazen and Hazen discuss the people who worked with fire--or against it. Founders, gaffers, blacksmiths, boilers at saltworks, and housewives knew how to &quot;read&quot; a fire and employ it for their purposes. A few dedicated investigators inquired about the scientific nature of heat and flame. And firefighters gradually progressed from &quot;bucket brigades&quot; to &quot;using fire to fight fire&quot; with the newly invented steam engine. The colorful stories of these Americans--the risks they took and the rewards they received--will fascinate not only social historians but also a broad audience of general readers.]]>
