This fall, C-SPAN launched a new series, "Books That Shaped America," a partnership with the Library of Congress that explores key works from U.S. history that have had a major impact on American society. These books, available at the Ferguson Library, have provoked thought, been bestsellers, led to significant public policy changes, and are still talked about today.
