    The Catholic University of America:     The Boorstin Bibliography brings together an amazing variety of sources, from popular magazines to court reports, reflecting the range and diversity of Daniel Boorstin's interests and audience. Carefully compiled and thoughtfully annotated by Angela Leonard, a historian and librarian, the work is a fitting tribute to Boorstin's career as historian and Librarian of Congress.
  • Endorsement From David McCullogh
    author of Truman:     There is no one like Daniel Boorstin, in the range and vitality of his scholarship and ideas, and very few have been so productive. To have a complete guide to his work such as this is cause for celebration.
Description: One of the best known consensus or synthesis historians, Daniel J. Boorstin crosses disciplinary boundaries by writing about universities and students, lawyers and historians, history of science and everyday phenomena, material and popular culture, libraries and literacy, film and theater, statistics and words, airwaves and highways, and generally speaking, the past, present, and world to come. This bibliography brings together works by and about Boorstin, showing the volume, range, and importance of his contribution to the study of American history. With more than 1,300 entries, the bibliography records a history of Daniel Boorstin in print and non-print from 1930 to 1999. It covers a multitude of types of entries, including monographs, book reviews by and about Boorstin, newspaper and scholarly articles, manuscript and archival material, videocassettes, sound reels, Websites, and CD-ROMs. Entries are selectively annotated, in many instances using direct quotes from Boorstin, to give the reader a snapshot understanding of the works cited. This book will be the definitive Boorstin bibliography.
