This four-volume encyclopedia examines music's influence on contemporary American life, tracing historical connections over time.<P><em>Music in American Life: An Encyclopedia of the Songs, Styles, Stars, and Stories That Shaped Our Culture</em> demonstrates the symbiotic relationship between this art form and our society.
