Title: Triumph of the Mundane
Description: "In Triumph of the Mundane, Hal Kane offers a unique assessment of how and why our day-to-day lives have changed, and considers the wide-ranging impacts of those changes.

Using a variety of indicators of behavior - distances between family members, the things we own, the pace of our lives - he traces recent social transformations and considers the questions that leaders and policymakers must address if they are to reinvigorate our public discourse so that it can improve the quality of our lives."--BOOK JACKET.
