Fifteen areas of American life are examined: population, work, education, family, living arrangements, religion, leisure, health, money, politics, government, crime, transportation, business, and communications. Trends within each area are given a one-page explanation, illustrated by colored charts. The volume is published in conjunction with the PBS television special of the same name. Annotation c.
