A nostalgic visual tour of the legendary sites, institutions, and other Americana that flourished and vanished in the twentieth century pays tribute to iceboxes, Gimbel's department store, cigarette commercials, the Sands Hotel, and much more. Original.
David Seidman is a Los Angeles–area journalist, editor, and author who often writes nonfiction for teens. He comes to the topic of atheism with empathy for teenagers and for people in the religious minority, but he’s nobody’s advocate. He has written on topics as diverse as a US president, civil rights, teens in Iran, and holiday lights displays.
Fun book! He promises another one if he gets enough feedback, so I'll have to keep my eyes peeled. Different from some other books because he organizes things by topic: Sports, Marketing, Kids' Stuff, etc. And he keeps it light, not in-depth or preachy.
