Twentieth-Century Teen Culture by the Decades: A Reference Guide by Lucy Rollin, ISBN 0313302235
Decade by decade, this resource offers an overview of all aspects of American teenagers' lives from 1900 to 1999, as they evolved through the century. Using a variety of sources from sociological studies to popular magazines, this work shows how teens have responded to the political events that have characterized each decade. It also describes the patterns that have affected their home, work, and school lives, patterns of dating and sex, trends in alcohol and drug use, teen tastes in books and movies, and use of slang and fashion. Seventy illustrations make the personalities, interests, and media of each decade come alive for students of history, literature, and popular culture.
Global Migration and the World Economy: Two Centuries of Policy and Performance
World mass migration began in the early nineteenth century, when advances in transportation technology and industrial revolutions at home enabled increasing numbers of people to set off for other parts of the globe in search of a better life. Two centuries later, there is no distant Asian, African, or Latin American village that is not within reach of some high-wage OECD labor market. This book is the first comprehensive economic assessment of world mass migration taking a long-run historical perspective, including north-north, south-south, and south-north migrations. Timothy Hatton and Jeffrey Williamson, both economists and economic historians, consider two centuries of global mobility, assessing its impact on the migrants themselves as well as on the sending and receiving countries.

No, her true love it turned out, was the pig, or actually the dragon that the winged pig turned out to be. Worse yet, said dragon (who can take on human form) was last seen headed east at 5,000 feet.
But Summer had just successfully completed one quest against seemingly insurmountable odds and if the plucky lass had to undertake an even more arduous journey to be with the only man/dragon in the whole world for her, so be it. Even if she had to disguise herself as a young boy, escape from an ambushed caravan, figure out what to do with a ten-year-old slave and a dancing bear that she accidentally acquired, convince a persistent professional thief that she is not looking for treasure, and somehow convince her lover's fellow dragons that it is perfectly...
