The Twilight of American Culture

In this study, a cultural historian argues that the United States' corporate and consumer culture encourages people to disregard art, literature, and critical thinking. He supports his argument with examples of botched education systems, the typical American's resistance to learn, and the country's obsession with TV shows and fast-food. He encourages readers to challenge their material world by turning off their televisions and pursuing the principles of enlightenment. A New York Times Notable Book for 2000.

This memoir shares the details of Terry Ryan's childhood, as it draws a moving picture of a mother who defied her alcoholic husband, her church, and the judgement of other housewives to provide for her family by entering--and winning--dozens of contests.
