Book Description
Excerpt from Seeing America, Vol. 1: Farm and Field To present such a volume has been our task. We have tried to weave into a story of elemental human interest the maximum information about the production of raw materials, about the difficulties and dangers men endure in order to furnish their fellows with the necessities of life, about the wonders of modern machinery, about man's natural enemies in farm; forest, and field, and about the need of conserving our natural resources. The nice problem of balancing story interest against solid information seems to have been solved pretty well; but, of course, the final verdict rests with teachers and pupils. Grateful acknowledgment is made to chambers of commerce, to editors of farm magazines, and to agricultural colleges too numer ous to mention by name here. These institutions have supplied us with a precious fund of special information more minute than is to be found in the usual reference books. Only a little of it all appears on the, surface of the narrative. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
“This vibrant and penetrating study. . . . opens a window on American culture between the world wars.” —Publishers Weekly Seeing America explores the camera work of five women who directed their visions toward influencing social policy and cultural theory. Taken together, they visually articulated the essential ideas occupying the American consciousness in the years between the world wars. Melissa McEuen examines the work of Doris Ulmann, who made portraits of celebrated artists in urban areas and lesser-known craftspeople in rural places; Dorothea Lange, who magnified human dignity in the midst of poverty and unemployment; Marion Post Wolcott, a steadfast believer in collective strength as the antidote to social ills and the best defense against future challenges; Margaret Bourke-White, who applied avant-garde advertising techniques in her exploration of the human condition; and Berenice Abbott, a devoted observer of the continuous motion and chaotic energy that characterized the modern cityscape. Combining feminist biography with analysis of visual texts, McEuen considers the various prisms though which each woman saw and revealed America. Winner of the 1999 Emily Toth Award for the best feminist study of popular culture given by the Women’s Caucus of the Popular Culture Association. “A rich resource for anyone interested in the history of photography, women’s history, and American history in general.” —Bloomsbury Review “A valiant, well-researched effort to bridge the history of visual culture with American social and political history.” —Journal of American History “The best books always leave their audience wanting more. That is certainly true of this gem of a work.” —Library Journal (starred review).

Book Description
A stunning, full-color volume that examines 82 pieces in the University of Rochester Memorial Art Gallery's American collection and their connections to American history, culture, literature, and politics. Seeing America is the first-ever catalog of the University of Rochester Memorial Art Gallery's American collection. Founded in 1913, the Memorial Art Gallery was created in conjunction with the University of Rochester so that it would function within a scholarly milieu, yet at the same time perform service as a community museum. From its conception it has been an ardent advocate for American art, which so many counterpart institutions snubbed untilat least the 1930s, and more often until well after World War II, in favor of European and Asian art. The 336-page, full-color volume examines 82 objects and their connections to American history, culture, literature and politics. The 73 articles present a running commentary on each piece by knowledgeable and thoughtful contemporary scholars and artists writing with expertise and insight, ultimately presenting a new and deeper understanding that enhances the reader/viewer's appreciation of the work. The tour ranges from Colonial times to the twenty-first century, from Maine to Florida to the far West, from mighty historical subjects to intimate byways, from august figures and events to the humblest and most anonymous. The diversity of American experience on display here reminds us that the best American art is inextricably bound up with the essential truths of American experience.

Book Description
"Completely fascinating, Pinney's History of Wine in America combines a myriad of facts about all the states that have endeavored to grow grapes at any time since colonial days into a readable and coherent story. The only study to approach wine through its historical aspects, it will be invaluable to wine writers who want to include historical perspectives in their articles and it will be seized upon by grape growers and wineries throughout the country who want to discover their region's historical roots in viticulture and winemaking. A significant contribution to scholarship, this book should have broad appeal."—John R. McGrew, USDA Agricultural Research Service (retired)
