Kelley Graham
`Gone To The Shops`: Shopping In Victorian England (Victorian Life and Times)

2008 y.
Publisher: —
Description: When Adam Smith wrote in 1776 that England was a nation of shopkeepers, he meant that commerce was a major factor in political decisions. Smith`s observation was even more on-target for Victorian England: shopkeepers, shops, and shopping were a vital part of life. Those Victorians with resources could shop often and had many choices. Industrialization and Britain`s imperial connections gave them an almost unprecedented array of goods. Even the poor and working classes had more to eat and more to spend as the century progressed. Here, Graham explores the world of Victorian shops and shopping in colorful detail. She offers information on the types of shops and goods they offered, the people who owned and operated them, those who frequented them, and the contribution of shops and shopping to the Victorian lifestyle and economy. Shopping in Victorian England reached a level of importance not wholly appreciated even by Victorians themselves. New types of shops appeared, offering an… [detailed...]

Description: In 1975, David Thomson published his Biographical Dictionary of Film, and few film books have enjoyed better press or such steady sales.Now, thirty-three years later, we have the companion volume, a second book of more than 1,000 pages in one voice—that of our most provocative contemporary film critic and historian.Juxtaposing the fanciful and the fabulous, the old favorites and the forgotten, this sweeping collection presents the films that Thomson offers in response to the question he gets asked most often—“What should I see?” This new book is a generous history of film and an enticing critical appraisal written with as much humor and passion as historical knowledge. Not content to choose his own top films (though they are here), Thomson has created a list that will surprise and delight you—and send you to your best movie rental service.But he also probes the question: after one hundred years of film, which ones are the best, and why?“Have You Seen . . . ?” suggests a true canon of… [detailed...]

`I Am a Man`: Chief Standing Bear`s Journey for Justice

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: In 1877, Chief Standing Bear’s Ponca Indian tribe was forcibly removed from their Nebraska homeland and marched to what was then known as Indian Territory (now Oklahoma), in what became the tribe’s own Trail of Tears. “I Am a Man” chronicles what happened when Standing Bear set off on a six-hundred-mile walk to return the body of his only son to their traditional burial ground. Along the way, it examines the complex relationship between the United States government and the small, peaceful tribe and the legal consequences of land swaps and broken treaties, while never losing sight of the heartbreaking journey the Ponca endured. It is a story of survival---of a people left for dead who arose from the ashes of injustice, disease, neglect, starvation, humiliation, and termination. On another level, it is a story of life and death, despair and fortitude, freedom and patriotism. A story of Christian kindness and bureaucratic evil. And it is a story of hope---of a people still among us… [detailed...]

`Love of Shopping` is Not a Gene: Problems with Darwinian Psychology

2004 y.
Publisher: Black Rose Books
Description: At the beginning of the 21st century, genes are used to explain almost every aspect of human life, from social inequalities to health, sexuality and criminality. Although few people have studied genetics, our culture is full of casual references to them. The Darwinian, if asked to comment on our evident love of shopping,` would declare it to be in our genes. As former hunters and gatherers, they would say, there is no qualitative difference between gathering fruits and shopping for food, clothes, housewares or knickknacks. One can read not only about the `shopping gene,` but also about the `reading gene,` the `humility gene` and the `coaching gene.` Pop science, fostered by Darwinian psychology, run amok. This book is a critique of Darwinian psychology-alias evolutionary psychology, alias sociobiology-the study of the social behavior of animals and people based on evolution. In this provocative work, Anne Innis Dagg, an eminent and outspoken critic of this ideology, first… [detailed...]

They have also contributed over 30 wonderfully evocative sketches and photographs. The book begins in the war years, with eye-witness accounts of air-raids and the damage they caused in Epping. Then we eavesdrop on Committee meetings, as local councillors struggled to provide post-war houses for all those couples who were married but had no home of their own. We learn about the Government`s Temporary Housing Programme, and discover how and why the `Tarran`-type prefabs came to be at Stewards Green. Next we hear the reaction of the residents themselves, as they explain how thrilled they were with their new prefabs and all the `mod cons,` which even included gas refrigerators. They recall how they made ends meet during times of shortages - potato-picking, rabbiting, back-garden hens,… [detailed...]

`Make It New` : The Rise of Modernism

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionWhat was Modernism, and why does it still matter? The term itself first gained currency in the 1930s, describing a kind of art that already may have peaked, some would say as early as 1922. Whatever its ups and downs in its own time, as the novelist Julian Barnes claims in one of the twenty essays commissioned for the present volume, Modernism never vanished. It remains our immovable feast. Modernism was international in scope, it left its mark on all genres, from literature and paintingto opera, dance, and architecture, it pushed the boundaries of what was artistically possible and aesthetically important, and finally, for all its destructive urges which it shared with the century itself, it was also celebrative. This book is a response to the exhibition of the same name that opened at the Harry Ransom Center in October 2003. It includes original essays by such noted writers and artists as Russell Banks, Anita Desai, David Douglas Duncan, Elizabeth Hardwick, and… [detailed...]

`Make It Yourself`: Home Sewing, Gender, and Culture, 1890-1930 (Gutenberg-e)

2008 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Through home sewing, Sarah A. Gordon examines domestic labor, marketing practices, changing standards of femininity, and understandings of class, gender, and race from 1890 to 1930. As ready-made garments became increasingly available due to industrialization, many women, out of necessity or choice, continued to make their own clothing. In doing so, women used a customary female skill both as a means of supporting traditional ideas and as a tool of personal agency. The shifting meanings of sewing formed a contested space in which businesses promoted sewing machines as tools for maintaining domestic harmony, women interpreted patterns to suit-or flout-definitions of appropriate appearances, and girls were taught to sew in ways that reflected beliefs about class, race, and region. Unlike studies of clothing that focus on changes in fashion, `Make it Yourself` looks at the social and cultural processes surrounding home production. Gordon examines sewing clothing as work, whether… [detailed...]

`Negro President`: Jefferson and the Slave Power (Thorndike Press Large Print Americana Series)

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Amazon.comGarry Wills` `Negro President`: Jefferson and the Slave Power , despite its title, is not a profile of the Jefferson Presidency. Rather, the book offers a richly detailed study of the United States` tragic constitutional bargain with slavery, and meanders through the lives of several key figures in antebellum American history along the way. While Thomas Jefferson does play a significant role in Wills` book, the real heroes are the relatively unknown abolitionist Timothy Pickering and,to a lesser degree, John Quincy Adams. Pickering offered a consistent voice of opposition to Jefferson`s often secret campaign against Federalist power. Though he could never match Jefferson`s charismatic persona, Pickering succeeded in his battle to undo Jefferson`s embargo of England--an embargo that Pickering recognized as Jefferson`s attempt to undermine the economic prosperity and power of the North. Pickering`s ill-fated attempt to secede from the Union, while misguided, would… [detailed...]

They could also depend on their efforts being documented for their fellow soldiers and folks back home by a good-natured, talented photographer from Gary, Indiana: John A. Bushemi. Assigned to Yank, the weekly magazine written by and for enlisted men, Bushemi specialized in `photography from a rifle`s length vantage point,` according to his colleague Merle Miller. His work with his ever-present Speed Graphic camera earned Bushemi the distinction of being the `outstanding combat photographer` for the magazine, noted its managing editor Joe McCarthy. That distinction came as no surprise to those who knew Bushemi in Gary, where he had received numerous awards for his work as a photographer for the Gary Post-Tribune. While working… [detailed...]
