No noticeable wear to extremities, cloth clean, red letters bright, else fine with no internal markings. Dust jacket fine and not price-clipped. A well-known and popular work on American life by several noted scholars. "Here is a book that reveals the self-understanding of Americans as a people and as a nation, that explores the traditions American use to make sense of themselves and their society. It shows how our fierce individualism, which creates self-reliant heroes like cowboys and hard-boiled detectives, also undermines our capacity for commitment to one another. Habits of the Heart explores how we see ourselves." [from the dust jacket].
