 American Hardcore (Second Edition): A Tribal History by Steven Blush, George Petros English | October 19, 2010 | ISBN: 1932595899 | 408 pages | EPUB | 25 Mb "American Hardcore sets the record straight about the last great American subculture"Paper magazine  American Generations: Who They Are and How They Live - 6th edition By New Strategist Editors 2008 | 459 Pages | ISBN: 1933588950 | PDF | 3 MB Age is the most important indicator of lifestyle, determining educational attainment, household composition, labor force status, income, wealth, and spending patterns. American Generations explores all these areas so you can quickly and easily see the trends-without having to do the number crunching yourself. The fourth edition of American Generations compares and contrasts the five living age groups: Millennials, born 1977-94; Generation X, born 1965-76; Baby Boom, born 1946-64; Swing, born 1933-1945; and World War II generation, born before 1933. The book opens with an in-depth overview of the demographics of the generations, followed by ten chapters covering attitudes and behavior, education, health, housing, income, labor force, living arrangements, population, spending, and wealth. This edition is particularly valuable because it presents important 2000 census multiracial counts, as well as New Strategist's proprietary projections of racial and ethnic groups by age to 2010.

For nearly fifty years an entire nation turned to this quick-witted, worldly-wise counselor for advice on everything from dinner etiquette to sex. But who was the woman behind the byline? Iowa-born Eppie Lederer was first hired by the Chicago Sun-Times to take over the daily advice column in 1955 -- and over the next half-century she helped shape the nation's social and sexual landscape. Award-winning journalist Rick Kogan was Ann Landers's last editor and close friend, and he paints a fascinating, full-bodied account of the triumphs, the wisdom, the courage, and the trials of one of the twentieth century's most enduring icons -- including her painful lifelong feud with her identical twin sister, "Dear Abby"; her stubborn refusal to shy away from even the most controversial topics; and the tragic breakup of her own thirty-six-year marriage. Filled with remarkable stories shared by people from all walks of life who were profoundly affected by the good sense and guidance of Ann Landers, America's Mom is a moving tribute to a singular woman who has earned an eternal place in our culture ... and our hearts.  America's God: From Jonathan Edwards to Abraham Lincoln By Mark A. Noll 2002 | 640 Pages | ISBN: 0195151119 | PDF | 41 MB Religious life in early America is often equated with the fire-and-brimstone Puritanism best embodied by the theology of Cotton Mather. Yet, by the nineteenth century, American theology had shifted dramatically away from the severe European traditions directly descended from the Protestant Reformation, of which Puritanism was in the United States the most influential. In its place arose a singularly American set of beliefs. In America's God, Mark Noll has written a biography of this new American ethos. In the 125 years preceding the outbreak of the Civil War, theology played an extraordinarily important role in American public and private life. Its evolution had a profound impact on America's self-definition. The changes taking place in American theology during this period were marked by heightened spiritual inwardness, a new confidence in individual reason, and an attentiveness to the economic and market realities of Western life. Vividly set in the social and political events of the age, America's God is replete with the figures who made up the early American intellectual landscape, from theologians such as Jonathan Edwards, Nathaniel W. Taylor, William Ellery Channing, and Charles Hodge and religiously inspired writers such as Harriet Beecher Stowe and Catherine Stowe to dominant political leaders of the day like Washington, Jefferson, and Lincoln. The contributions of these thinkers combined with the religious revival of the 1740s, colonial warfare with France, the consuming struggle for independence, and the rise of evangelical Protestantism to form a common intellectual coinage based on a rising republicanism and commonsense principles. As this Christian republicanism affirmed itself, it imbued in dedicated Christians a conviction that the Bible supported their beliefs over those of all others. Tragically, this sense of religious purpose set the stage for the Civil War, as the conviction of Christians both North and South that God was on their side served to deepen a schism that would soon rend the young nation asunder. Mark Noll has given us the definitive history of Christian theology in America from the time of Jonathan Edwards to the presidency of Abraham Lincoln. It is a story of a flexible and creative theological energy that over time forged a guiding national ideology the legacies of which remain with us to this day.
