America's Home Front Heroes

An Oral History of World War II

By: Stacy Enyeart

A new compendium of firsthand reminiscences of life on the American home front during World War II. America's Home Front Heroes: An Oral History of World War II brings together in one rich resource the voices of those whom history often leaves out—the ordinary men, women, and children caught up in an extraordinary time. America's Home Front Heroes is divided into four sections: A Time for Heightened Passion, A Time for Caution and Prejudice, A Time for Flag Waving, and A Time for War Plant Women. The 34 brief oral histories within these sections capture the full diversity of the United States during the war, with contributions coming from men, women, and children of all backgrounds, including Japanese Americans, conscientious objectors, African Americans, housewives, and journalists. A treasure trove for researchers and World War II enthusiasts, this remarkable volume offers members of "the greatest generation" an opportunity to relive their defining era. For those with no direct experience of the period, it's a chance to learn firsthand what it was like living in the United States at a pivotal moment in history.

The Ageless Obsession

Finding the Fountain of Youth

By: Stacy Enyeart

Searching for the so-called fountain of youth is exciting, challenging, expensive, frustrating, and a target for some form of future success. Growing into adulthood, we long to look older, more sophisticated. With maturity a stunning reversal occurs and youthfulness becomes the fashion focus, a seductive state of being but a love affair with limited duration, i.e. ageing is acceptable so long as the glow of youthful appearance stays decently in place. Since that big dream is impossible we struggle to compensate for the loss by exhibiting every artificial fix know to mankind! This is good, it is proactive and often creates some positive but, alas, temporary relief to the wounded psyche. "The Ageless Obsession...finding the fountain of youth" begins with a tongue-in-cheek approach to enhancing the aging process ARTIFICIALLY, and the great cover-up to conceal the magic method used. As time marches on the magic loses its luster and finding an alternative youthful aging strategy becomes an obsession. Voila, this book presents REAL senior people revealing through interviews their current style of retaining youthfulness. These women and men continue a love affair with life, irrespective of age and inspire their peers and baby boomers to follow suit. As an eye witness to the journey the author presents through this book an exciting perspective on the subject. Signs of success in youthful aging are illustrated, an eye-opener for many as they transition from decade to decade. A one-size-fits-all process and surprise! we have a plan, a reliable solution for men and women ready to take on the challenge as suggested in "The Ageless Obsession, finding the fountain of youth.
