The 1933 Chicago World's Fair: A Century of Progress

Cheryl R. Ganz, "The 1933 Chicago World's Fair: A Century of Progress"
English | ISBN: 0252078527 | 2012 | 272 pages | EPUB | 13 MB

Chicago's 1933 world's fair set a new direction for international expositions. Earlier fairs had exhibited technological advances, but Chicago's fair organizers used the very idea of progress to buoy national optimism during the Depression's darkest years. Orchestrated by business leaders and engineers, almost all former military men, the fair reflected a business-military-engineering model that envisioned a promising future through science and technology's application to everyday life.
