Dr. Joe Brickner's exploration of the evolving American landscape is both eye-opening and entertaining. The book seamlessly weaves personal experiences into a comprehensive analysis of societal shifts. The 'takeaway' sections and summary in tabular form make it an inviting read.

Wow, what an interesting book, while reading your imagination will take you back in time and know what it was like in the past. Readers will also appreciate the changes that happened over the 70 years. Thank you for the detailed and well-written review.

Even tho the reviews imply it is really good, I'm not a fan of scientific books or rather books of The American Analysis. I am not really interested in reading the book.

What I liked most about this book was the author's personal experience growing up. It's funny to read about when families share a "party line" and how difficult it is to have a personal conversation over the phone. The overall arrangement of the sections in this book makes it quite easy to navigate. At the end of each chapter, there is a "takeaway" section that briefly highlights the author's views.

I am fascinated by how phenomenal advances in technology and other areas of life have transformed everyday life. I am intrigued by how life has drastically changed in America over the past 70 years. I am interested in learning about the author's recommendations on how we can achieve a better society.

This enlightening book fabulously highlights the advancement of technology and how it changed society, and simultaneously, the author reminds the readers about the decline in morality.

I was born in the 1960s and remember having a party line hehe; yes, privacy was hard to come by in those days. I'm looking forward to reading this book and comparing life in the US to life in Australia in the past. Thanks for the very thorough review; it sounds like you really enjoyed this book.

You are right, features like a short and sweet summary maybe one of my favourite parts in any non fiction book. However, after a while I started to find the book quite boring. Many things were readily observable without any need to be elaborated in detail. However, this is a unique school of thought and should be given more consideration.

I can see a great difference between morality in the past without innovations and currently with innovations. Right now, we are in a deep mess of losing morality with technological advancements as compared to the past. Thanks to the author for providing recommendations on how we can achieve a better society with morality. Congratulations to the author on BOTD!

Dr. Joe Brickner's book "America: Lost in Place" looks like a really intriguing read. It's astonishing how much life has evolved from the 1960s to today, and comparing morale and ideals is perhaps the most fascinating aspect of the book. In my opinion, children and teenagers suffer the most from advances in technology since they have greater access to inappropriate material.

America: Lost in Place

When the past and brought into the future and changes are made, that’s how we know times are different. The country has been facing problems for a long time and when will it ever change? Being able to understand the past problems and what we deal with now is very important.

I honestly must say I don't think it's just America that's lost but the whole world. It's like the values of mankind has reduced to a scary low. I agree with the author on things not being censored anymore. Kids in my opinion know to much about their parents financial struggles, sex, drugs and the list goes on. This book seems very interesting so I'm definitely reading it soon. Thanks for a great review.
