About this title

Synopsis

This is a captivating, myth-busting reference work that uses a century of hard data, including original 1999 research building on the landmark "Middletown" study, to reveal what really happened to everyday Americans, charting shifts in politics, sexual behavior, economics, immigration, religion, longevity, and public opinion for anyone drawn to history, sociology, demography, or public policy.

The First Measured Century uses social data to tell us what happened to everyday Americans in the twentieth century.
