History books cover the presidents and the wars. This is everything else: the house on your street, supper at six, the television in the corner, and the little things that quietly disappeared. Read it, or sit back and listen.

Start with one unforgettable decade, or take the whole journey from the end of the war to the close of the seventies.
Everyday Memories and the Stories Behind Them
One decade, up close. Step back inside the house on your street and the evenings around the set.
Everyday American Life from 1946 to 1979, and What Happened to It All
The whole journey, from the day the soldiers came home to the end of the seventies, and what happened to it all.
History remembers presidents, wars and headlines. People remember something else.
“This book is about the ordinary. Not the presidents, not the protests, not the headlines that filled the front pages. This book is about the kitchen table and what was on it.”
Eight corners of everyday life. Here's a glimpse. The rest is waiting inside.
