Fair America : world's fairs in the United States / Robert W. Rydell, John E. Findling, and Kimberly D. Pelle.

Washington, DC : Smithsonian Institution Press, 2000.

x, 166 pages : illustrations ; 23 cm

Setting more than thirty world's fairs from 1853 to 1984 in their historical context, Robert W. Rydell, John E. Findling, and Kimberly D. Pelle show that the expositions reflected and influenced not only the ideals but also the cultural tensions of their times. Illustrated with archival photographs of fair buildings, exhibits, and souvenirs, Fair America surveys a century and a half of these dazzling, culturally revealing events.
