Review # 1 was written on 2014-08-13 00:00:00 T Gene Hatcher This series has been a gold mine find for me this summer. It will be great for supplementing my unit on the symbols of the United States. There were loads of facts in this simply written book about the commissioning, and subsequent building of the Lincoln Memorial. |
Review # 2 was written on 2012-09-25 00:00:00 Charles Groves A very thorough study of the post-war rise of the suburbs. Each chapter covers different topics: building in wetlands, the attempt at solar power, septic tanks, the grassroots environmental movement, etc. To those who do not enjoy reading history books, note that this is exactly what it is. Each chapter provides a thesis argument, and then fills the pages with examples to drive that point home. You don't need to read the entire chapters or paragraphs to get the point, but you'd really be missing out on some interesting numbers and stories. While the ultimate takeaway from this book is hte suburb movement harmed the environment more than it could have ever helped (and also harmed many homeowners in the process), Adam Rome argues it with as little bias as possible without surrendering the entire book. |
