Overview
What can the ancient myth of Tantalus teach us about modern America? Although America is a culture awash in excitements, amusements, technologies, and innumerable goodies, Americans frequently complain of dissatisfaction. Exploring the myth and psychology of tantalization, this book looks at many of the curious contradictions of American culture in new ways. Tantalizing Times will be useful for courses in psychology, sociology, American studies, communication, and interdisciplinary courses that include a focus on American society.Book Details
