Download or read book The Big Picture written by Josh Sapan and published by Princeton Architectural Press. This book was released on 2013-10-08 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the turn of the twentieth century, photographic technology and an American culture of optimism and self-celebration combined to create what Luc Sante calls the "strange and compelling medium" of panoramic group photography. Organizations famed and obscure—from the Anti-Saloon League of America and the troops at Camp Sevier during the Great War to the members of the Midget Swing Review—commissioned photographers to produce images that sometimes encompassed a full 360 degrees. No public event—a circus, a train wreck, or the Army-Navy football game—was too grand or eccentric to deserve its own wide-angle commemoration. The photographs compose a portrait of a society on the cusp of sweeping change, as their details preserve the enduring humanity of their subjects: a bathing beauty tosses her curls; a group of cross-dressing women smile enigmatically at an off-camera friend; children at play on a summertime lawn appear only as blurs behind an Ohio town meeting. The Big Picture gathers nearly one hundred of these fascinating images, most never before published, bringing the shared experience of American history from the late nineteenth century to the WWII era to life.

Download or read book Soul by Soul written by Walter JOHNSON and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2009-06-30 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Soul by Soul tells the story of slavery in antebellum America by moving away from the cotton plantations and into the slave market itself, the heart of the domestic slave trade. Taking us inside the New Orleans slave market, the largest in the nation, where 100,000 men, women, and children were packaged, priced, and sold, Walter Johnson transforms the statistics of this chilling trade into the human drama of traders, buyers, and slaves, negotiating sales that would alter the life of each. What emerges is not only the brutal economics of trading but the vast and surprising interdependencies among the actors involved.
Book Synopsis American Panorama by : Michael H. Collins
Download or read book American Panorama written by Michael H. Collins and published by Outskirts Press. This book was released on 2011-12 with total page 910 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: American Panorama provides a comprehensive up to date guide to the culture of the United States in 12 chapters for the citizen, citizenship applicant, businessperson, the civics, language and culture student and the traveler, particularly readers who have limited access to libraries. American Panorama is a concise encyclopedia informed by the latest scholarship and statistics. In easy language, American Panorama surveys America's vast expanses and patterns of settlement, describes the rise and fall of cities, the growth of suburbs and gated communities, and the campaigns of the environmental movement. American Panorama describes the unity and conflict among the peoples of many heritages and identities who make up America, focusing on patterns of immigration, minorities, and the growth and aging of the population. Believing the founding of the United States to be the most important event in modern history, American Panorama explores the bases of its epoch-making Constitution, outlines the role and practice of government and the system of legal and cultural checks and balances that avert the abuse of power, and discusses current issues such as gun control and the surveillance society, candidates, elections, political action committees and campaign funding. American Panorama outlines the characteristics of the world's leading economy, its free markets, corporations, labor struggles, disparities in wealth, the effects of globalization and the changes in the workforce, with analysis of the current financial crisis. The book illustrates the sources of American power in its unparalleled ability to innovate, integrate and renew, to generate solutions to problems, to produce what people want and enjoy, and hire any passing talent to do it. The triumphs and problems of America's education system, especially its world class universities, are discussed and its groundbreaking achievements in science, space research and medicine outlined. The changes in print and electronic media, infrastructure issues and the role of the car in society are given due weight. Special attention is given to the arts, literature and popular culture, and to the personal and social attitudes of Americans, their values and behaviors, the frontier heritage, their views on a range of issues from debt to dating, and the profuse variety of American religion, with explanation of the role of the Religious Right and the growth of megachurches. Identity issues, social problems, cultural debates, and political movements such as the women's movement and the Civil Rights movement are discussed at length. Finally, the United States' place in the world, from an isolationism that avoids "foreign entanglements" to the fervent promotion of democracy abroad, trade and military affairs are discussed. American Panorama is designed to help readers become familiar with the main aspects of American society and culture and acquire sufficient historical background to illuminate current issues. Through this book, readers will become aware of the interactions among America's history, ideologies, government, economy and culture, and of the significant changes that are taking place in American society. American Panorama gives a balanced picture of America's heritage and current issues, provides generous sources for further information, reflection and study together with questions for prior reflection, post-reading discussion, and vocabulary definitions for readers whose first language is other than English. American Panorama can be used in the classroom or as a study aid. Attentive readers will gain knowledge about the US sufficient for academic and professional purposes. American Panorama introduces the fundamental concepts of American democracy and the rights and responsibilities of citizenship. It includes material for the new Naturalization (Citizenship) Test.

Book Synopsis The Railway and Modernity by : Matthew Beaumont
Download or read book The Railway and Modernity written by Matthew Beaumont and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2007 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most research and writing on railway history has been undertaken in a way that disconnects it from the wider cultural milieu. Authors have been very effective at constructing specialist histories of transport, but have failed to register the railway's central importance in the representation and understanding of modernity. This book brings together contributions from a range of established scholars in a variety of disciplines with the central purpose of exploring the railway less as a transport technology than as a key signifier of capitalist modernity. It examines the complex social relations in which the railway became historically embedded, identifying it as a central problematic in the cultural experience of modernity. It avoids the limitations of both the close-sighted empiricism typical of many transport historians and the long-sighted generalizations of cultural commentators who view the railway merely as a shorthand for the concept of progress over the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The book draws on a diverse range of materials, including literary and historical forms of representation. It is also informed by a creative application of various critical theories.
