This informative history of professional wrestling traces the "combination of athletics and theater" from its roots in American carnivals of the 1800s to the cable television programs of today. In addition to introducing key figures, the book seeks to expose the extent to which pro-wrestling is shaped by the needs of the media. Illustrated with black-and-white and color photos of noteworthy wrestlers. Bib., ind.

A & E Biography series.
These biographies examine the lives of four twentieth-century figures who achieved fame in vastly different fields (though two--Glenn and Ventura--both ended up in politics).

Lucas contains a filmography. Bib., ind.

Journey Between Two Worlds series.
Illustrated with color photographs, these books trace three families' immigration and adjustments to life in the United States, as well as the ways they continue to honor their heritage. The engaging details of how they maintain their respective traditional values (holiday celebrations, food) while enjoying their adopted country are often bogged down by bland historical background discussions. Bib., ind.
