Here is an animated and wonderfully engaging work of cultural history that lays out America’s unruly past by describing the ways in which cutting loose has always been, and still is, an essential part of what it means to be an American. From the time the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth Rock, Americans have defied their stodgy rules and hierarchies with pranks, dances, stunts, and wild parties, shaping the national character in profound and lasting ways. In the nation’s earlier eras, revelers flouted Puritans, Patriots pranked Redcoats, slaves lampooned masters, and forty-niners bucked the saddles of an increasingly uptight middle class. In the twentieth century, fun-loving Americans celebrated this heritage and pushed it even further: flappers “barney-mugged” in “petting pantries,” Yippies showered the New York Stock Exchange with dollar bills, and B-boys invented hip-hop in a war zone in the Bronx. This is the surprising and revelatory history that John Beckman recounts in American Fun. Tying together captivating stories of Americans’ “pursuit of happiness”—and distinguishing between real, risky fun and the bland amusements that paved the way for Hollywood, Disneyland, and Xbox—Beckman redefines American culture with a delightful and provocative thesis. (With black-and-white illustrations throughout.)

"Drowned young Asian girls start washing up onto a San Francisco beach and City District Attorney Investigator Mary Dinosa is determined to discover the truth behind their tragic deaths and bring those responsible to justice. Her ruthless investigation reveals ugly truths and sends her into the deep dark world of domestic and international sex slave trafficking and the sad epithet of literally millions of young innocent girls around the world. It also draws the attention of the 'Justice Foundation' who accepts the challenge and sends their operations team, led by former U.S. Navy Seal Commander Ian O'Farrell, from the Bay Area to Thailand and the Hong Kong. Their unrelenting search and destroy mission then turns south to Mexico and Guatemala and eventually to the jungles of Northeast Nigeria. At each stop they leave behind an indelible and explosive impression on the diabolical men and women who profit and engage in the sex slave business and liberate innocent young victims to pursue their 'fun-dee', the Thai word for 'dreams'."

The dream of restoring primitive Christianity lies close to the core of the identity of some American denominations---Churches of Christ, Latter-day Saints, some Mennonites, and a variety of Holiness and Pentecostal denominations. But how can a return to ancient Christianity be sustained in a world increasingly driven by modernization? What meaning might such a vision have in the modern world? Twelve distinguished scholars explore these and related questions in this provocative book.
