People from all over the world have moved to America, bringing unique traditions with them along the way. Other traditions are just silly and fun, such as September 19th's “Talk Like a Pirate Day.” With its high-interest subject matter and amazing photographs, this book will show readers the many holidays they’ve been missing, and maybe some they’d rather not celebrate at all.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The holidays that we celebrate are relatively unchanged from their origins in faraway lands. This book is a tribute to the diversity of imagination surrounding some of America's most honored and sometimes offbeat cultural traditions. Beginning on New Year's Day and following the calendar year, it presents a montage of newspaper accounts, oral histories, and journal entries documenting: traditions, beliefs, legends, charms, riddles, gifts, superstitions, proverbs, recipes, poems, parades, songs, dances, games, contests and plays. Hundreds of observances are associated with the more than 60 weird and wonderful holidays!

This book takes readers on a journey through America’s sometimes-wacky digestive system via its weirdest diners, restaurants, and kitchens. Readers will love diving in to the culinary interests of America’s people, from strange meats like squirrel and possum to wild fruit and vegetable mixes like Jell-O salad. High-interest subject matter and amazingly odd photographs give readers a look at all the weird things people deep-fry at county fairs and the crazy concoctions different parts of the nation call “home cooking.”

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At a time when the U.S. flag is both a source of both pride and controversy, this volume provides the first encyclopedic A-to-Z treatment of the U.S. flag in American history, culture, and law. This title is a comprehensive resource for understanding all aspects of the American flag and its relationship to the American people. The encyclopedia provides a thorough historical examination of key developments in the flag's design as well as laws and court decisions related to the flag and the First Amendment. In relation to the flag's history, it also discusses evolving public attitudes about its importance as a national symbol. The encyclopedia contains illuminating scholarly essays on presentations of the flag in American politics, the military, and popular culture including art, music, and journalism. Additionally, these essays address important rules of flag etiquette and modern controversies related to them, from flag-burning to refusing to stand during the playing of the U.S. National Anthem.
