Book excerpt: "Knoxville's six-month 1982 World Fair has been called the most successful American exposition since the 1930s and, if judged by attendance among fairs officially sanctioned by the bureau International des Expositions in Paris, it is that... Still, the fair is often derided, memorably in a 1998 episode of the Simpsons. Worse than that, it's been ignored. In the years since it closed, very little has been published about the Knoxville International Energy Exposition an its legacy. Did it make a difference? Was it "historic," as its ads promised? the Knoxville History Project, in partnership with the committee with the University of Tennessee's history department, offer this brief introduction to a big subject."--Back cover.
