The voluminous records of the Pierce and Poor families weave a story that runs from the late eighteenth century until World War I. The extent and qual-ity of their source materials, and their positions as representative middle-class to upper-middle-class New England families, make these subjects of Yankee Family particularly well suited for analyzing processes of continuity and change. McGovern reviews the life-styles of the Pierce and,Poor families both on the frontier and in the Boston area, and focuses on the cross-generational changes in these styles. The study begins with John Pierce at Harvard in the 1790s and follows through to the first decade of the twen-tieth century. The author shows how the "Yankee" mentality, an outgrowth of New England Puritanism, contributed to the family's rise to success, but con-cludes that by the early twentieth cen-tury the Yankee life-style was ending, a victim of social and economic changes in American society that were rendering it irrelevant. Until recently historical scholarship on the American family has been static. Apart from long-standing predilections of historians for political history, there were also theoretical and meth-odological problems deterring schol-arship on the American family. But McGovern's approach holds great promise; it is more sensitive than quan-tification studies to the impact of change on a wider range of human expe-riences because it is inevitably more personal. While this type of family his-tory rewards students of social change, it also affords important insights on con-tinuity. It reveals the existence of a family style which adapts to change with a special corpus of family wisdom, al-ways finding a way to exercise its "known" amidst constant flux ? thus mitigating some of the effects of change.

Despite the New York Yankees' storied history of abundant individual greatness and unrivaled team success, the 1972 squad was a pale imitation of the teams that had made the Bronx Bombers the most famous sports franchise in the world. The team was ready for change, and it came on January 3, 1973, when 42-year-old Cleveland-based businessman George Steinbrenner announced that he and a group of investors had bought the Yankees from the Columbia Broadcasting System for $10 million. But as much as Steinbrenner’s acquisition of the team would alter the course of baseball history, it was overshadowed in spring training by the surprise announcement of a transaction involving the team's pitching rotation. On March 5, left-handers Mike Kekich and Fritz Peterson, met with the press to announce the details of a trade they had finalized the previous October. This particular trade had been carried out without the knowledge or consent of general manager Lee MacPhail, and did not bring any new players to the team. Kekich and Peterson, friends and teammates since 1969, scandalized the sports world by announcing that each had moved out of his own home and taken up with the other’s wife and children. While the contents of this biography have been researched, this book is not endorsed or affiliated in any way with Mike Kekich or Fritz Peterson.

Leslie D. Helm's decision to adopt Japanese children launches him on a personal journey through his family's 140 years in Japan, beginning with his great-grandfather, who worked as a military advisor in 1870 and defied custom to marry his Japanese mistress. The family's poignant experiences of love and war help Helm overcome his cynicism and embrace his Japanese and American heritage. This is the first book to look at Japan across five generations, with perspective that is both from the inside and through foreign eyes. Helm draws on his great-grandfather's unpublished memoir and a wealth of primary source material to bring his family history to life. Leslie D. Helm is a veteran foreign correspondent, having served eight years in Tokyo for Business Week and the Los Angeles Times. Currently, he is editor of Seattle Business, a monthly magazine that has won multiple first place excellence in journalism awards in the Pacific Northwest. Helm earned a master's degree in journalism from the Columbia University School of Journalism and in Asian studies from the University of California, Berkeley. He was born and raised in Yokohama, Japan, where his family has lived since 1868.

Young Austrian male embarks on a journey to United States in search of his family. He has only scant and contradictory information about his grandfather Leslav lost in the turmoil after WWII. The first search trip to US ends in a fiasco. Subsequently, with help of Jewish friends, he was able to find diary of his late grandfather. During the second trip the Austrian is able to interview the surviving members of his Yankee Family: grandfather's mistress Lydia, her daughter Claire, her son Tom. He also gets access to legal file of Lydia's husband, Milton. The novella is a series of psychological portraits of key members of the lost and distant family whose lives were mysteriously woven together. The Leslav's dairy brings to light his multiple identities: an aristocrat from Eastern Europe, a Volksdeutche collaborator, a mental patient in Swiss Psychoanalytical Clinic, a painter and a precursor of expressive abstractionists, an agent of clandestine Nazi organization placing and supporting former Nazi officials in Argentina after the war. He was also Lydia's lover and fathered two children by her. Lydia, grandfather's lover, an anorexic woman with three major love affairs in her life, also a psychoanalytic patient and a dedicated breeder of cows in upper New York State. Milton, Lydia's husband, a lawyer, businessman and CIA agent who ultimately takes to bed his own daughter Pat while convinced he was not her father. Claire, Lydia's daughter, whose major wish was to have a "normal life" which happened to be beyond her reach. Upon return to Austria all members of the Yankee Family are brought to life in a Halloween masquerade performed in the ruined chapel of the family castle. The author is a psychiatrist.
