Interpreting the Prohibition Era at Museums and Historic Sites chronicles the rise and fall of one of the greatest attempted reforms in American History. Why were Americans so worried about alcohol? Why did they seek to ban an entire industry? How did those involved in the trade react? How did repeal come about? How should we remember the "noble crusade"? Such questions are important, both for historians and museums who seek to interpret the Prohibition Era, as well as for the general public who wants to know more about the Roaring Twenties and how it continues to shape the United States today. Case studies cover: · Breweries · Reformers · Women · Saloons, both before and after Prohibition · Gamblers and gumshoes This guide will help museum and history professionals make sense of a complex story, relate the history and legacy of political pressure groups, and help learners think about the era in new ways.

Since the Revolutionary War, Mainline Christianity has been comprised of the Seven Sisters of American Protestantism—the Congregational Church, the Episcopal Church, the Evangelical Lutheran Church, the Presbyterian Church, the United Methodist Church, the American Baptist Convention, and the Disciples of Christ. These denominations have been the dominant cultural representatives since the nineteenth century of how and where the majority of American Christians worship. Today, however, the Seven Sisters no longer represent most American Christians. The Mainline has been shrinking while evangelical and fundamentalist churches, as well as non denominational congregations and mega churches, have been attracting more and more members. In this comprehensive and accessible book, Jason S. Lantzer chronicles the rise and fall of the Seven Sisters, documenting the ways in which they stopped shaping American culture and began to be shaped by it. After reviewing and critiquing the standard decline narrative of the Mainline he argues for a reconceptualization of the Mainline for the twenty-first century, a new grouping of Seven Sisters that seeks to recognize the vibrancy of American Christianity.

This book is full of easy steps you can incorporate immediately to make a big impact on how you will look and feel for years to come." Amanda Carlson-Phillips, MS, RD, CSSD, VP of Nutrition & Research at Athletes' Performance "This is by far the most comprehensive book on losing weight I've read. If losing weight is about "just eating healthfully and exercising" why don't we all do it? Because it's hugely psychological.

Adam Gilbert, Founder of MyBodyTutor.com "Jason walks the walk and talks the talk.

Death of the Diet provides sound strategies for successful weight management - once and for all " Dr. Felicia Stoler, RD, DCN, FACSM, Author of Living Skinny in Fat Genes "Delightful read using a proven approach to motivating behavior change. Machowsky understands that achieving long-term results is a process determined by the many decisions we face day-to-day. Death of the Diet is all about identifying the fork in the decision-tree and enabling you to choose the right branch using two key qualities for success: happiness and purpose. I highly recommend this book to health professionals and consumers alike." Marissa Beck, MS, RD, Director of Wellness at NextJump, Inc. "Jason provides simple, realistic solutions for maintaining optimum health based on his experience, research and client feedback. Time and time again Death of the Diet offers examples of how exercise and nutrition work together to achieve and sustain desired results. Simply put, the book provides a comprehensive, logical approach to tackling a lifelong demon for so many people."
