Have you ever wondered how the TV dinner was created?  Left with tons of turkey after a slow Thanksgiving season, the Swanson Company combined the modern appeal of refrigeration and television...History lessons have never been so much fun. Informative, entertaining, and clearly presented, this book is recommended for middle school, high school, and public libraries.  -- Library Journal (November 2002)

The editors cover the 20th century from the A-Team to Zorro, Abercrombie & Fitch to zoot suits, Muhammad Ali to the Ziegfield Follies...  Each decade has an overview and 'at a glance' highlights of what we read, watched, and listened to...  These volumes are a sure hit with trivia buffs and useful for those decade assignments in social studies.  Twentieth century literature teachers will be delighted with the variety and scope of the cultural background.  The text is large and easy to read.  One drawback is the large amount of white space on each page, which makes the set over 1,300 pages.  The other is the cost.  Recommended.   -- Library Media Connection (March 2003)

The set is valuable as a research tool for popular culture units, but also is just fun for browsing.  Each entry is signed by the author and followed by a brief bibliography.  The access data is provided for web sites.  The book is user friendly.  The lack of colored illustrations may lessen the appeal for some students.  Overall, this is a great addition for any public, academic or school library.   -- Catholic Library World (March 2003)

Looking for information on the Ziegfeld Follies, where Raggedy Ann dolls came from, or the history of the Boy Scouts?  This enjoyable and informative set is perfect for answering these questions and others...  The signed articles are written in an accessible style that sets the trend, fashion, or cultural figure within its proper context, and gives a brief glimpse at the ineffable why.  But this is not a ponderous collection.  Clearly, the authors have set out to have fun and have succeeded.  Well-chosen, black and white photographs of average quality illustrate this resource.  For quick reference on a cornucopia of cultural pleasures, this is a great buy for libraries.  -- School Library Journal (February 2003)

The next time a teenager's face goes blank at the mention of Elvis Presley, a librarian might want to point to this set covering the whole last century.  Each volume contains the complete index for the set and the often-requested time line for the whole century...  The set is fun to peruse, but it provides mostly cursory information on each topic with somewhat uneven coverage.  For example, an article on the FBI in popular culture gets about the same space as Francis the Talking Mule.  Middle and high school students who use this work for a decades project will likely have to make use of the further reading suggestions at the end of each entry.  Public and school libraries would do well to think about the needs of their patrons and about other materials available on this topic before spending the money on this set.  -- Voice of Youth Advocates (February 2003)

It is commonplace for students studying a pivotal historical issue - war, stock market crash, death of a president - to research its effect on American mores.  A good place to begin is this ambitious set, a testimonial to 'what a difference a century may make.'  From Betty Boop to anime; the cocktail hour to ecstasy; flappers to the Goth culture; Sears, Roebuck catalog to Home Shopping Network; and The $64,000 Question to Who Wants to be a Millionaire?, these volumes - packed with a myriad of provocative personalities, events, and underlying trends - make a fascinating read for the student researcher and the armchair historian alike...  Any good school library media specialist can see the advantage of purchasing this clear, concise set because it has the potential for easy integration into curriculum planning with any school subject area.  It is geared for middle school and high school users; public libraries with strong usage by teens should consider purchasing it as well.   -- Booklist (February 2003)

Any good school library media specialist can see the advantage of purchaisng this clear, concise set because it has the potential for easy integration into curriculum planning with any school area.  It is geared for middle-school and high-school users; public libraries with strong usage by teens should consider purchasing it as well.   --Booklist (Febraury 2003)

The entries are written so that preteen readers can make sense of them and older children will stay engaged by the lively style. The contributors seem very knowledgeable and their coverage of the culture is comprehensive if not encyclopedic.  The focus... is definitely on mainstream American popular culture. This set will be a helpful reference for young people, trivia buffs, and general readers alike. --ARBA (2004)

A delight, this encyclopedia, aimed at juveniles and beyond... More than 300 black-and-white illustrations lend life and charm and numerous cross-references point to related material. Appropriate for all levels of readers, this clearly organized, handsomely produced, and thoroughly engaging set is worth acquiring for most collections.  -- Choice (February 2003)
