In The Seven Ranges, Hoyt sought answers to how and why small, self-sufficient landholders in eastern Ohio consented to the destruction of once-thriving townships and even topography itself via strip mining in the 1960s. Surprisingly, America itself and its grandeur as a project came into view after following strictly localized clues. Now, in Fear and Trembling, Hoyt details a different kind of devastation--the collapse of Western Civilization as experienced by residents in eastern Ohio, Cleveland, and Michigan between 1994 and 2024. In this case, he employs popular culture as a lens rather than land. Yet, despite these differences, America and its grandeur as a project once again come into view. Readers will close this new book with a firm grasp not only on the importance of the American dream, but also on the timeliness of its promise.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Front Porch Republic Books","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47775614926999,"sku":"9798385269716","price":1332.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9798385269716.webp?v=1777991455","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/fear-and-trembling-in-las-vegas-an-unintended-journey-to-the-heart-of-americas-promise-9798385269716","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
