"It's an understatement to call No Place of Grace a brilliant book. . . . It's the first clear sign I've seen that my generation, after marching through the '60s and jogging through the '70s might be pausing to examine what we've learned, and to teach it."—Walter Kendrick, Village Voice

"One can justly make the claim that No Place of Grace restores and reinterprets a crucial part of American history. Lears's method is impeccable."—Ann Douglas, The Nation</div>]]> 197898 3.93 67 4 1981 566363 0465090753 9780465090754 0 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1175860143m/566363.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1175860143s/566363.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/566363.Fables_of_Abundance_A_Cultural_History_of_Advertising_in_America 3.42 19 Publishers Weekly, starred review) book that fundamentally transforms the whole debate about the cultural significance of advertising. ]]> 197898 3.93 67 4 1994 1548782 0142003875 9780142003879 1 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1185059558m/1548782.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1185059558s/1548782.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1548782.Something_for_Nothing_Luck_in_America 3.70 10 197898 3.93 67 4 2003 344966 0226259552 9780226259550 0 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1173918466m/344966.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1173918466s/344966.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/344966.The_Power_of_Culture_Critical_Essays_in_American_History 4.00 2
More and more scholars are turning to cultural history in order to make sense of the American past. This volume brings together nine original essays by some leading practitioners in the field. The essays aim to exhibit the promise of a cultural approach to understanding the range of American experiences from the seventeenth century to the present.

Expanding on the editors' pathbreaking The Culture of Consumption, the contributors to this volume argue for a cultural history that attends closely to language and textuality without losing sight of broad configurations of power that social and political history at its best has always stressed. The authors here freshly examine crucial topics in both private and public life. Taken together, the essays shed new light on the power of culture in the lives of Americans past and present.</div>]]> 197898 3.93 67 4 1993 344969 039451131X 9780394511313 0 http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/344969.The_Culture_of_consumption_Critical_essays_in_American_history_1880_1980 3.50 2 197898 3.93 67 4 1983
