To truly grasp the roots of America's public health crises, economic inequality, and political polarization, we must examine the country's longstanding regional divides. In Nations Apart, Colin Woodard--an expert on North American regionalism and European ethnonationalism --delves into how centuries-old settlement patterns and the cultural geography they created have shaped today's most contentious policy debates and brought American democracy to the brink. Drawing on original, quantitative research conducted through Woodard's own think tank project, Nations Apart offers a fresh perspective on the issues most threatening our national cohesion, including:

• Guns
• Health
• History
• the History Wars
• Abortion
• Climate Change
• Democracy
• Authoritarianism
