An oral history of the Great Depression, new paperback edition.

The first novel in the chronology of Vidal's epic CHRONICLES OF EMPIRE, embodying the passage of American history.

Lost and found, originally published in 1980, this is a classic work of oral history that provides an extraordinary and moving picture of everyday American lives.

Studs Terkel explores the ultimate human experience, that of death and the possibility of life afterward. Death is the one experience we all share but cannot know. In Will the Circle be Unbroken? , a wide range of people address the final experience and its impact on the present in which we live.

Drawing on evidence that includes nearly half a million interviews conducted over 25 years in the US, Putnam shows how changes in work, family structure, suburban life, technology, and the roles of women are isolating people from each other in a trend that has its reflection in British society.
