Pop Culture Universe: Icons, Idols, Ideas at present contains the text and 6,621 images from 307 books, ranging from African American Icons of Sport to the Encyclopedia of Indie Rock (see review, p. 96), Icons of Talk: The Media Mouths That Changed America, Macho Man: The Disco Era and Gay America's "Coming Out," and A Word from Our Viewers: Reflections from Early Television Audiences. Content is added from newly published Greenwood titles. The opening page shows a montage of pop culture icons and idols from the 2000s to the 1920s, beginning with the image of an iPod and ending with the Babe (Ruth). As you mouse over each image and each decade on the toolbar, you get the decade's pop designation: 2000s (Google Nation), 1980s (Greed Is Good), 1950s (Cold War and Conformity), etc.
