Download or read book Festivus written by Nolan Collins and published by Hyperink Inc. This book was released on 2012-02-29 with total page 21 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ABOUT THE BOOK For a show about nothing, “Seinfeld” lasted quite a long time. It started in 1990, then, 172 episodes later, it had become a staple in American culture forever. Phrases like “yada, yada” and “master of my domain” are just a few things that this prolific television show left behind after a nine season run. The “puffy shirt” from the third episode in season 5 even made it into the National Museum of American History. Not bad for a 30-minute sitcom. One of the show’s more interesting contributions to our culture, though, is the holiday named Festivus. Festivus is only mentioned in one episode but has gathered quite the cult following. It is talked about, searched for, and even celebrated during the holiday season. When episode 10 of season 9 (“The Strike”) aired on December 18, 1997, nobody knew that Festivus would live have such a lasting impact. The lore behind the creation of this holiday is almost as interesting as the actual celebration. MEET THE AUTHOR Nolan grew up in South Carolina and attended the great University of South Carolina in Columbia. After graduation, he packed everything up and moved to the entertainment capital of the world: Los Angeles. EXCERPT FROM THE BOOK Airing of grievances Think of your last Thanksgiving celebration when you sat around the dinner table and discussed what you were thankful for. Well, Festivus has a very different feel. The Festivus dinner is a time when you can let everyone at the table know what they have done to upset you throughout the year. This takes place in an orderly fashion and starts with the head of the household. These sessions are the main things that are recorded via cassette tape. This is not something that was added to Festivus for “The Strike” -- it was a real part of the O’Keefe family Festivus celebration. Feats of strength This is the final event in the Festivus celebration. In the feats of strength, the head of the household is allowed to pick someone to wrestle with. That person must pin the head of the household or Festivus isn’t over. Jerry learns as he’s talking to George in the coffee shop, that this portion of Festivus usually ended with George crying. In “The Strike,” Kramer is initially picked to wrestle with Frank, but when Kramer decides to go back to work, saying that Festivus is “out there,” George has to step up and do it. He doesn’t want to, but Frank tells him to “stop crying and fight your father.” Buy a copy to keep reading!

Book Synopsis A Kosher Christmas by : Joshua Eli Plaut
Download or read book A Kosher Christmas written by Joshua Eli Plaut and published by Rutgers University Press. This book was released on 2012-10-24 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Christmas is not everybody’s favorite holiday. Historically, Jews in America, whether participating in or refraining from recognizing Christmas, have devised a multitude of unique strategies to respond to the holiday season. Their response is a mixed one: do we participate, try to ignore the holiday entirely, or create our own traditions and make the season an enjoyable time? This book, the first on the subject of Jews and Christmas in the United States, portrays how Jews are shaping the public and private character of Christmas by transforming December into a joyous holiday season belonging to all Americans. Creative and innovative in approaching the holiday season, these responses range from composing America’s most beloved Christmas songs, transforming Hanukkah into the Jewish Christmas, creating a national Jewish tradition of patronizing Chinese restaurants and comedy shows on Christmas Eve, volunteering at shelters and soup kitchens on Christmas Day, dressing up as Santa Claus to spread good cheer, campaigning to institute Hanukkah postal stamps, and blending holiday traditions into an interfaith hybrid celebration called “Chrismukkah” or creating a secularized holiday such as Festivus. Through these venerated traditions and alternative Christmastime rituals, Jews publicly assert and proudly proclaim their Jewish and American identities to fashion a universally shared message of joy and hope for the holiday season.

Book Synopsis Feats of Strength by : Simon Lailvaux
Download or read book Feats of Strength written by Simon Lailvaux and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2018-01-01 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A fascinating exploration of the extreme world of animal athletics, how these stunning abilities have evolved, and their insights into human performance and evolution How is it that fish can climb waterfalls, snakes glide, and cheetahs run so fast? Natural and sexual selection has driven the evolution of diverse and amazing athletic abilities throughout the animal kingdom. Integrative biologist Simon Lailvaux draws on decades of performance research to highlight the ecological and evolutionary importance of these abilities, which include running, jumping, flying, biting, climbing, and swimming, and explains the many reasons they exist. He describes the methods and tools scientists use to measure animal performance--remote sensing technologies that can capture a cheetah's running speed, or force meters that gauge the strength of a lizard's bite or crab's grip--as well as the diverse mechanisms underlying and enabling spectacular animal athletic feats. Using examples from the smallest insects to birds, whales, and even dinosaurs, Lailvaux provides a unique glimpse into a vibrant, eclectic field of research and points to new directions for understanding performance evolution in both animals and humans.

Book Synopsis The View from Flyover Country by : Sarah Kendzior
Download or read book The View from Flyover Country written by Sarah Kendzior and published by Flatiron Books. This book was released on 2018-04-17 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES and MIBA BESTSELLER From the St. Louis–based journalist often credited with first predicting Donald Trump’s presidential victory. "A collection of sharp-edged, humanistic pieces about the American heartland...Passionate pieces that repeatedly assail the inability of many to empathize and to humanize." — Kirkus In 2015, Sarah Kendzior collected the essays she reported for Al Jazeera and published them as The View from Flyover Country, which became an ebook bestseller and garnered praise from readers around the world. Now, The View from Flyover Country is being released in print with an updated introduction and epilogue that reflect on the ways that the Trump presidency was the certain result of the realities first captured in Kendzior’s essays. A clear-eyed account of the realities of life in America’s overlooked heartland, The View from Flyover Country is a piercing critique of the labor exploitation, race relations, gentrification, media bias, and other aspects of the post-employment economy that gave rise to a president who rules like an autocrat. The View from Flyover Country is necessary reading for anyone who believes that the only way for America to fix its problems is to first discuss them with honesty and compassion. “Please put everything aside and try to get ahold of Sarah Kendzior’s collected essays, The View from Flyover Country. I have rarely come across writing that is as urgent and beautifully expressed. What makes Kendzior’s writing so truly important is [that] it . . . documents where the problem lies, by somebody who lives there.”—The Wire “Sarah Kendzior is as harsh and tenacious a critic of the Trump administration as you’ll find. She isn’t some new kid on the political block or a controversy machine. . . .Rather she is a widely published journalist and anthropologist who has spent much of her life studying authoritarianism.” —Columbia Tribune
