Title: Micro America
Review: Not the regular history book, rather an intra-history: a history of America made by individuals, not by lords, kings, or dictators. It covers the stories of many American go-getters, from the 1880's to 1970, who made possible inventions that are today part of our daily lives: from packaging, automobiles, communications, to the moon-landing and the atom bomb. It covers so many aspects of America's popular culture, consumption, technology, education philosophies, that it lacks focus.A microcosm of America.You may be interested in some stories here, but there are many more that -probably- you won't care at all for. A pity, Mr. Boorstin knows how to write well, but this is almost like reading an encyclopedia.
