By blending the eyewitness accounts of letters with historical fiction, ANIMAL DANCES creates an engaging story of a young man conscripted into war, who discovers an unknown capacity to be bold and decisive, while enduring unimaginable hardship. Before the war, he and Fannie cavorted carefree and rebellious with indecent abandon to the ragtime beat of the Animal Dances. That is a distant memory now as Harry struggles to survive the devastation of the Western Front while driving a wagon carrying a lethal cargo. Back home, his family grapples with a killing flu, and Fannie seeks to ease her fear that he will not come home. Surviving the searing yellow gas, Harry returns to find nothing the same, and only his war buddies save him from horrible memories. As life passes, he asks if it could have been different. This is a WWI story beyond the trenches, where men toil in constant danger, in a conflict that will impact them for a lifetime.

Two dramatic cultural revolutions coincided with the Great Depression. Motivated by a struggling economy, America's political center shifted left. A slew of technological marvels turned the nation modern. Today, the former gets the most attention, but the latter has had the greatest influence on twenty-first century America.Despite a soaring unemployment rate and radical initiatives designed to put Americans back to work, industry modernized the nation. Across dozens of major industries, in a short time span, a surge in new technologies transformed American culture. Compare an automobile, a refrigerator, a washing machine, a bus, or a locomotive made in 1929 to those built in 1939, or to post-war models of the 1940s. In each case, the latter designs bear a closer resemblance to its twenty-first century counterparts than their 1920s predecessors. There are countless other excellent examples, not just in transportation and home appliances, but in pharmaceuticals, agriculture, home construction, material sciences, packaging, industrial processes, and manufacturing equipment. Nor were these mere prototypes. During the 1930s highly automated carmakers built 25 million automobiles and appliance makers 17 million refrigerators. Throughout the 1930s, food producers sold billions of packaged goods annually. At the end of the decade Dupont introduced nylon stockings selling 64 million pairs their first year.How an abundance of new high-tech gadgets coexisted with a dismal business climate deserves a better explanation. Towards that goal, Blind Spot emphasizes the power of US manufacturing, reveals the true motivation behind the New Deal, exposes the follies of the central banking system, and unmasks the irrationalities of popular economic indicators.

This sumptuous publication is both a guide and a celebration of the beautiful border country that stretches the length of Wales, from coast to coast, from Chepstow to Prestatyn. When King Offa commissioned the building of this marvellous earthwork, could he possibly have imagined that over a thousand years later people would still be fascinated by the dyke? Jim Saunders enables armchair travellers to marvel at the wealth of wildlife or even dig into the turbulent history of borderlands.
