The essential lifestyle guide for the millions of progressives from coast to coast, The Nation Guide to the Nation (VINTAGE BOOKS, 2009) helps left-of-center types find small businesses, cultural institutions, activist organizations, and gathering places in their own hometowns and on the road. A virtual one-stop shop for liberals across America, the book also features selective essays from the likes of Studs Terkel, Francis Fitzgerald, Howard Zinn, Stuart Klawans and Ray Bradbury.

This video, featuring the book's author Richard Lingeman as well as its two consulting editors, Katrina vanden Heuvel and Victor Navasky, highlights the breadth, depth and fun of this compendium of non-corporate culture in America today.
