This book is a celebration of American home life in the fifties, an era when peace and prosperity were a welcome reality rather than a cliche. The two cars in the suburban garage, the mother at home baking cookies for the kids and the family nights around the new television represented a lifestyle of quiet comfort for millions of Americans. For the young parents of the fifties, it was the end of the rainbow. For the children of the baby boom who grew up in this lifestyle, it would become an object of revolt in the late sixties and seventies, but as the baby boomers reach middle age, the fifties are now an object of nostalgia and warm, happy memories. It's time to go home to the fifties. America in the fifties was a time and place that was unique in the history of the world, an era when the technological innovations that we enjoy today -- from television and hi-fi to automatic dryers -- were still new and fresh, and the future was still perceived as being brighter than the present. With this exciting volume, it is now possible to recapture the memories, or to experience that those wonderful days for the first time. Now, more than ever, it's time to go home to the fifties.
