Resumo

Americans today "know" that a majority of the population supports the death penalty and that half of all marriages end in divorce. But such data became common currency only in the last century. Igo demonstrates the power of scientific surveys to shape Americans' sense of themselves as individuals, members of communities, and citizens of a nation.
