Amity and Prosperity: One Family and the Fracturing of America

byEliza Griswold

Focused on one Family and the Fracturing of America, Amity and Prosperity brings Eliza Griswold's science narrative to a complex and consequential subject. The book builds its explanation through key episodes, competing interests, and the setting supplied by the wider field of nature. Rather than isolating its subject, the book shows how private experience and public systems continually influenced one another. What emerges is a nuanced account of the subject, its immediate consequences, and its wider meaning. The approach makes a specialized subject understandable without stripping away its tensions or ambiguity.
