This work surveys the landscape of American popular culture during
the 1970s. The treatment is expository and sacrifices complex
theory and analysis in favor of general accessibility. Opening
chapters discuss everyday life and the world of youth culture,
followed by chapters that individually focus on advertising,
architecture, fashion, food and the environment, leisure
activities, literature, music, performing arts, and travel.
