From April 1964 to October 1965, some 52 million people from around
the world flocked to the New York World's Fair, an experience that lives
on in the memory of many individuals and in America's collective consciousness.
Taking a perceptive look back at "the last of the great world's
fairs," Samuel offers a vivid portrait of this seminal event and of the
cultural climate that surrounded it. He also counters critics' assessments
of the fair as the "ugly duckling" of global expositions. Opening five
months after President Kennedy's assassination, the fair allowed millions
to celebrate international fellowship while the conflict in Vietnam came
to a boil. This event was perhaps the last time so many from so far could
gather to praise harmony while ignoring cruel realities on such a gargantuan
scale. This world's fair glorified the postwar American dream of
limitless optimism even as a counterculture of sex, drugs, and rock n roll
came into being. It could rightly be called the last gasp of that dream:
The End of the Innocence.
Samuel's work charts the fair from inception in 1959 to demolition in
1966 and provides a broad overview of the social and cultural dynamics
that led to the birth of the event. It also traces thematic aspects of the
fair, with its focus on science, technology, and the world of the future. Accessible,
entertaining, and informative, the book is richly illustrated with
contemporary photographs.

Good Toothbrush for cats
The toothbrush works great! My cat actually enjoys getting his teeth brush. Probably doesn't hurt that he gets a treat each time we brush his teeth. His gums look good and teeth are white!

Must have for pets dental care!
These toothbrushes are perfect! My kitten had gingivitis and the vet said I could brush her teeth with a normal toothbrush but I’m so glad I got these instead! As you can see in the video the bristles go all the way around so I basically just put it in her mouth and she does most of the work for me! I also appreciate it’s small, she’s a tiny kitten so it’s perfect for her. These are a must if you need to brush your pets teeth. See the video for yourself! It’s a no brainer!

Good size brush-suction isn't great
The brush itself is a good size and I like that it is round so it's easy to brush. I wasn't as lucky as others to get my cat to start chewing on their own so it will be a process to get my cat used to it. For the brushes itself, it's a good deal for the price. The suction holder doesn't work well at all and only holds some of the time.

Helps my cat brush his teeth
I’ve now purchased these twice for my sweet boy. He loves to brush his teeth with these! They aren’t as durable as I’d like, but also my boy is a super chomper. I wish they were just a bit cheaper!

Works great on removing food particles from your cats teeth, especially when they bite down on it!
My kitten wanted no part of me, brushing his teeth. In fact, I tried to use a feline soft toothbrush, and I ended up making his little gum on his main fang bleed, I felt horrible about it! So when I discovered these and saw how soft they are, I bought these! My kitten started biting it right away and now loves his new ritual, biting on it and letting me gently rub along his gums, it actually grabs food particles when he bites down on it! He seems to loves the feeling of it, as I brushed his teeth, at at 3-5 times a week with it. He has become really good about letting me use it. He does loves when I also rub it along his jaw/gum area as it stimulates those nerve feel-good nerve endings. A winner with my boy Otis!🐾💕
