Volume 7 : The Long Chain - Often, materials discovered by accident alter
the course of the world. In the 1600's Dutch commercial freighters
controlled Atlantic trade routes. Competing British lines induced America
to produce pitch to protect hulls of their royal vessels. This arrangement
lasted until 1776, after which a Scottish inventor tried to produce pitch
from coal tar. By the time he succeeded, the navy was using copper instead.
Volume 8 : Eat, Drink, and Be Merry - when Napoleon marched huge
forces across Europe, he needed an efficient way to store provisions. A
Frenchman preserved sterilized food in empty champagne bottles, an idea
modified by the British, who tried tin cans. Still, canned foods sometimes
spoiled, which led to experiments with refrigeration. Later, it was
discovered that gases may be stored at very low temperatures in a thermos
flask, when lit by a spark these gases can send rocket into space.

Program 1 : 1650 - 1845 The awe-inspiring saga of America's greatest
authors comes alive in Great American Authors Since 1650. As the
American colonies moved toward becoming an independent nation, a
unique and distinctive voice poured forth from the pens of its authors. Once
the nation was founded, Amerida's first literary giants - Washington Irving,
James Fenimore Cooper, Ralph Waldo Emerson and Edgar Allan Poe - told
stories qaand wrote poems that could only have come from the heart and
sould of the people in this fledgling country. Program 2 : 1846 - 1855
Between the War of 1812 and the Mexican American War that ended in
1848, America experienced an exuberant economic period of growth. And,
it was during this time that American authors produced the nations's first
great wave of classic literature. In this program, such literary giants as
Herman Melville, Walt Whitman, Emily Dickinson and Henry Wadsworth
Longfellow make their mark on the American psyche.

Program 3: 1856 - 1906 After the Civil War the modern American novel
took shape led by Louisa May Alcott, Mark Twain and Henry James. In
this period as the 19th century drew to a clsoe and the 20th century began.
America's literary voiced seemed to come from everyone and from
everywhere. Program 4: 1907 - 1925 During this period, America seemed
to lose its innocence. American writers began to struggle with the problems
that accompanied the age of modernization and industrialization. And, as
the 20th century began to evolve, so began what would come to be known
as the "lost generation" of American authors.

c2007.
Program 7 : 1950-1957 If the lost generation authors were searching for
identity and meaning, the group of authors in the middle of the last century
rejected everything that mainstream American embraced. Ultimately they
would speak to the baby boomer generation, first as children, then as
proactive teens, and ultimately as adults in the later part of the century.
Program 8 : 1958 - Present This half century spanned generations of writers
who witnessed or participated in WWII, Korea, The Cold War, The Civil
Rights Movement, Vietnam and multiple wars in the Middle East. Their
diverse experiences influenced them intellectually, spiritually, and
emotionally which contributed to the eclectic collection of thoughtprovoking literature of the period.

and now, at the last, his daughter, all dead. Antigone is not the only victim
