%T   "Great American Websites: An Online Discovery of a Hidden America"

The Web sites are listed alphabetically by topic under the categories of United
States sports, architecture, crime, food, the great outdoors, patriots,
history, individuals, kitsch, law, literature, local history, products, maps,
music, festivals, politics, popular culture, religion, science, and art.  Each
section is introduced with a sort of multi-part essay.

You can see this book as a compendium of essential American information, with
notes by a noted historian.

Alternatively, you can see it as a random collection of sites, described more
by the author's self-indulgent idea of what *should* have been said about the
topic than by a description of what is actually there.
