Through detailed commentary and focused case studies of influential texts and events - from Invisible Man to West Side Story, from Disneyland to the Seattle World's Fair, from Rear Window to The Americans - the book examines the way in which modernism and the cold war offer two frames of reference for understanding the trajectory of postwar culture. The two core aims of this volume are to chart the changing complexion of American culture in the years following World War II and to provide readers with a critical investigation of 'the 1950s'. The book provides an intellectual context for approaching 1950s American culture and considers the historical impact of the decade on recent social and cultural developments.Twentieth-century American culture.Nineteen fiftiesPopular cultureUnited StatesHistory20th centuryUnited StatesCivilization1945-United StatesIntellectual life20th centuryUnited StatesSocial life and customs1945-1970Nineteen fifties.Popular cultureHistory306.097309045Halliwell Martin599987MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910953683903321American culture in the 1950s1022203UNINA02562nam 22006134a 450 991101948720332120200520144314.0978661234870997812823487071282348701978047051665204705166589780470516645047051664X(CKB)1000000000377226(EBL)470311(OCoLC)723943532(SSID)ssj0000297181(PQKBManifestationID)11224577(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000297181(PQKBWorkID)10328488(PQKB)10142932(MiAaPQ)EBC470311(Perlego)2768299(EXLCZ)99100000000037722620070608d2007 uy 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrG protein-coupled receptors molecular pharmacology from academic concept to pharmaceutical research /Georges Vauquelin, Bengt von MentzerChichester, England ;Hoboken, NJ John Wiley & Sonsc20071 online resource (266 p.)Description based upon print version of record.9780470516478 047051647X Includes bibliographical references (p.

They play an important role in a variety of diseases from cancer and diabetes, to neurodegenerative, inflammatory and respiratory disorders. GPCRs are therefore of utmost interest in drug development: over half of all prescription drugs currently on the market act by targeting these receptors directly or indirectly.
