Image two: E-book titled Winnebago Nation: The Peculiar Place of the RV in American Culture - synopsis: Informed by his own experiences on the road, author James B. Twitchell recounts the RV's origins and evolution over the twentieth century; its rise, fall, and rebirth as a cultural icon; its growing mechanical complexity as it evolved from an estate wagon to a converted bus to a mobile home; and its role in bolstering and challenging conceptions of American identity.
Image three: E-book titled Barbecue: The History of an American Institution - synopsis: Author Robert F. Moss researched hundreds of sources--newspapers, letters, journals, diaries, and travel narratives--to document the evolution of barbecue from its origins among Native Americans to its present status as an icon of American culture. He mapped out the development of the rich array of regional barbecue styles, chronicled the rise of barbecue restaurants, and profiled the famed pitmasters who made the tradition what it is today. Barbecue is the story not just of a dish but also of a social institution that helped shape many regional cultures of the United States.
