Gilligan Unbound: Popular Culture in the Age of Globalization by Paul A. Cantor, ISBN 0742507785
In Gilligan Unbound, distinguished Shakespeare scholar and literary critic, Paul A. Cantor, proves once and for all that popular culture can be every bit as complex, meaningful, and provocative as the most celebrated works of literature--and a lot more fun. Cantor analyzes and interprets a wide variety of classic television programs with the same seriousness, care, and creativity as he would Hamlet or Macbeth to reveal how dramatically America's image of itself has evolved from the 1960s to the present.
Chesapeake Steamboats: Vanished Fleet by David C. Holly, ISBN 0870334557
In eight engaging chapters, this book portrays the steamboat era (1813-1963) on the Chesapeake, which matched in glamour and excitement the steamboats' history on the Mississippi. The book begins with the building of the first steamboat on the Bay in the shadow of the bitter struggle between Stevens, Livingston, Fulton, and Latrobe, among others, over monopoly on the Delaware and Chesapeake. Some of the accepted history on the origin of the first Bay steamboat is called into question. The chapters continue with stories of the genius of early engine builders, the legends arising from dramatic steamboat disasters, spirited adventures of the Civil War (including the mystery of the "French lady spy"), the romance of steamboat excursions and resorts, the personalities of many steamboats and their masters, the Pennsylvania Railroad's near achievement of monopoly on the Bay, and the denouement when trucks and automobiles eclipsed the role of the steamboat. An appendix details the workings of early...

The Dark Continent: Europe's Twentieth Century by Mark Mazower, ISBN 067975704X
"A useful, important book that reminds us, at the right time, how hard [European unity] has been, and how much care must be taken to avoid the terrible old temptations." --"Los Angeles Times
Dark Continent provides an alternative history of the twentieth century, one in which the triumph of democracy was anything but a forgone conclusion and fascism and communism provided rival political solutions that battled and sometimes triumphed in an effort to determine the course the continent would take.
Mark Mazower strips away myths that have comforted us since World War II, revealing Europe as an entity constantly engaged in a bloody project of self-invention. Here is a history not of inevitable victories and forward marches, but of narrow squeaks and unexpected twists, where townships boast a bronze of Mussolini on horseback one moment, only to melt it down and recast it as a pair of noble partisans the next. Unflinching, intelligent, Dark Continent provides a provocative vision of Europ's...
