I as of late completed your book, "America: Lost Set up," and I needed to communicate my adoration. Your adroit investigation of the beyond 70 years, covering 17 key viewpoints, was both edifying and invigorating. The correlations among over a significant time span, alongside private tales, gave an extraordinary point of view. The book's association, brief important points, and even rundowns made it profoundly available. I rate it 5/5 for its amazing skill, connecting with content, and significant bits of knowledge on cultural movements.

Although life is dynamic, we should tend towards positivity as progress is made and not the other way around. This book seems to me like a great handout for the study of what was, what is, and what should or can be. Congrats to the author on BOTD. Awesome review.

Thank you for a great review. I'm probably within a decade of the age of the author. I'm curious to know his thoughts on all of those subjects and whether he thinks things are better, the same, or worse now as compared to several decades ago. While I'm thankful for many of the possibilities now, especially in the medical world, I do find myself missing the closeness of community like it was growing up.

It is an interesting concept to compare and even contrast life in America today and life in the 1950’s. In "America: Lost in Place" by Dr. Joe Brickner uses that concept to examine at least 17 different aspects of civilization. One of those areas, technology, has changed our world so much but with those advancements we may have lost more than we have gained in civil society. The book is only 166 pages but it looks to be packed with insight and ideas for a better tomorrow. Thanks for the wonderful review and thank you Dr. Joe for this book!

It sounds like we travel through time and learn, not just how times and things have changed, but also how those changes and more comfort have changed human morality.
Seems an interesting take from someone who has lived his life through time. And have seen all those changes himself.

Such an interesting book through which one gets to know about social values which they can apply in their real life.

Dr. Joe Brickner has tried to compare and concisely what has changed in America in the past decades of his life. He has shared his own experiences. At the end of each chapter, he tries to summarize what he is trying to convey ethically. Congratulations on BOTD.

The concept of this book is really cool. It's detailing in words a timelapse of many areas in life that have changed and evolved since 70 years ago. I was born in the 90s, so it will be cool to look back at a time that my grandparents and parents lived through and how life was for them, as compared to today. Congrats to the author for having the BOTD.

“America: Lost in Place” by Dr. Joe Brickner is a book about the link between current times and the 1950’s. The book analyses the changes technology has brought over the past 70 years. Having lived through the 50s and 60s it was like a trip down memory lane to read this book. Party line phones, black and white TVs, dial phones, no DVDs or CDs, music only played on vinyl both 78s and LPs. Reel to reel tape recorders came long before cassettes and eight tracks. I enjoyed the technological developments and they obviously did not occur overnight. Thinking back to the early 60s I recall a much simpler world. I have been awed over the developments and most of them have made the world better. Sadly, hate and the senseless killing of so many people is worse today than ever before. Politicians preaching hate, white supremacy and the lies they tell makes me wish for the old days. Very good review.

This book provides a voice of reason. It links to a time when virtue was held in high regard. What has caused moral decay to our standards? Maybe it's because of the rapid development of technology. I am certainly nostalgic about the past, yet I am not even old myself. Thanks for the review.

Based on the review, this would indeed be a great read. Even if the sun rises from the west, the 1960s vibes are something we'll never experience again. I wouldn't mind traveling to the days I never got to experience, even if it's through a book's pages.
