Harry Gordon Selfridge byl však také vizionář, který se podílel na zrodu moderní reklamy a koncepce dnešních obchodních domů. Rozpoznal potenciál konfekce a prosadil prodej dámské kosmetiky. Nezajímal se ale jen o módu a obchod, dokázal vždy vyhmátnout a podpořit všechno nové a progresivní, co doba přinášela. Především ale dovedl odhadnout, po čem ženy touží, a nabídnout jim to.Nechejte se svést!Lindy Woodhead věnovala dvacet pět roků svého života práci v módním průmyslu jako odbornice pro styk s veřejností, spolu s manželem Colinem založili PR agenturu. Koncem osmdesátých let minulého století se dostala jako první žena vůbec do představenstva Harvey Nichols’.

Její první kniha, War Paint: Helena Rubinstein and Elizabeth Arden – Their Lives, Their Times, Their Rivalry vyšla v roce 2003. Svůj zájem o svět módy a obchodu využila i při psaní knihy Pan Selfridge (Shopping, Seduction & Mr Selfridge), kterou vydala v roce 2007. Jejím nejnovějším dílem je Midnight Mother: Mrs Meyrick – The Most Notorious Nightclub Owner in 1920s London z roku 2014. Pravidelně přispívá do časopisů věnujících se životnímu stylu. S manželem mají dva syny a žijí střídavě v Londýně a v jihozápadní Francii.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This biography recounts the rise of the American retail magnate who would go on to open London’s famous Selfridge’s department stores. In early 1909, a new retail emporium readied for business on the “wrong end of Oxford Street” in London. The man behind it was an odd little American with a waxed mustache and frenetic nature. Harry Gordon Selfridge had spent the previous twenty-five years in Chicago honing his skills at the venerable Marshall Field and Company before unleashing his concept of retail theater in the United Kingdom. In Mr. Selfridge in Chicago, biographer Gayle Soucek follows the young man’s astounding rise through the ranks of the Windy City's merchant princes. From working as Mr. Field’s stock boy to his failed attempt to best his former boss as master of Chicago retail, Soucek follows Selfridge on his tumultuous journey—one that ultimately proves triumphant as he brings the American department store to the United Kingdom.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fundamentals of Cognitive Science draws on research from psychology, philosophy, artificial intelligence, linguistics, evolution, and neuroscience to provide an engaging and student-friendly introduction to this interdisciplinary field. While structured around traditional cognitive psychology topics, from attention, learning theory, and memory to information processing, thinking, and decision making, the book also looks at neural networks, cognitive neuroscience, embodied cognition, and magic to illustrate cognitive science principles. The book is organized around the history of thinking about the mind and its relation to the world. It considers the evolution of cognition and how it demonstrates how our current thinking about cognitive processes is derived from pre-scientific philosophies and common sense, through psychologists’ empirical inquiries into mind and behavior as they pursued a science of cognition and the construction of artificial intelligences. The architectures of cognition are also applied throughout, and the book proposes a synthesis of them, from traditional symbol system architectures to recent work in embodied cognition and Bayesian predictive processing. Practical and policy implications are also considered but solutions are left for the readers to determine. Using extended case studies to address the most important themes, ideas, and findings, this book is suitable for upper-level undergraduate and graduate courses in psychology and related fields. It is also suitable for general readers interested in an accessible treatment of cognitive science and its practical implications.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The official, full-color, illustrated, behind-the-scenes companion to the lavish hit ITV and PBS television series Mr. Selfridge that vividly brings into focus the remarkable man and his time. Set at the crossroads between the old and the new—when the Victorian and Edwardian eras gave way to the modern age—Mr. Selfridge illuminates the passions, drama, tensions, and promise of the early twentieth century, embodied in one charming, dynamic, self-made man: department store tycoon Harry Gordon Selfridge. Mr. Selfridge follows a colorful cast of characters whose lives and fortunes are entangled with the founder of the magnificent department store that bears his name: Selfridge’s. American retail visionary Harry Selfridge moves to London in 1906 with his family to establish the most ambitious department store the world had ever seen. While his dreams inspire many, they also challenge the staid conventions of British society. A saga bursting with love affairs, class divisions, cultural clashes, ambition, betrayals, and secrets, Mr. Selfridge is set in an era when women reveled in a new sense of freedom and modernity. A charming, dynamic, brilliant, and forceful man who enjoys and respects women, Harry opens the doors of his opulent department story on London's famed Oxford Street to indulge, empower and celebrate them, changing the way the British—and the world—shopped forever. Including a foreword by series producer Andrew Davies, this official illustrated companion to the series—the biggest ITV-produced drama of all time—takes fans on a journey through the world of the series, Selfridge’s, and the larger-than-life entrepreneur, husband, lover, and family man behind it. Rich with historical detail, The World of Mr. Selfridge examines the real man and the fictional character based on him, his relationship with his family, his genius for retail, and his flagship store, including its departments and changing fashions in the early twentieth century. Complete with hundreds of gorgeous photographs, The World of Mr. Selfridge takes a closer look at the cast and their characters over the first two seasons, and looks ahead to series three, which begins in 1919—when Harry’s life really begins to unravel.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Timothy H. O'Sullivan was one of America's great photographers as the more than 400 superb examples of his art reproduced here testify. Yet, for over three-quarters of a century, the brilliant Civil War and frontier photographer has been forgotten by all but a handful of scholars and specialists. Until recently, many of O'Sullivan's finest photographs of the Civil War have been mistakenly attributed to Mathew Brady, his friend and mentor. Novelist and historian James D. Horan here set the record straight, and through more than a decade of painstaking research, reconstructed the obscure but remarkable life of a man of great talent and courage. O'Sullivan's works carried him through the major battles of the Civil War; he and his mule-drawn darkroom were under fire from Second Manassas to Appomattox. Accompanying U.S. geographical expeditions for almost a decade following the war, he lugged his cumbersome 20 x 24 camera across the vast, dangerous, and unexplored American West to make the first photographs of natural wonders like the Great Salt Lake, the Mojave Desert, Shoshone Falls, the Canyon de Chelly, and the Grand Canyon. He was along as official photographer when the Selfridge Expedition cut its way through the dense jungles of the isthmus of Panama to survey a canal route. The momentous events he lived through and the places he visited, enduring great hardships, are immortalized here in the finest examples of his wet-plate art. Timothy O'Sullican: America's Forgotten Photographer is a significant contribution to the pictorial, Civil War and Western Frontier history of America. --jacket.

Book excerpt: On December 12, 1862, while patrolling Mississippi's Yazoo River, the ironclad USS Cairo struck a Confederate torpedo. Twelve minutes later, the gunboat slipped beneath the surface approximately eight miles north of Vicksburg, where it remained for exactly 102 years. When researchers raised it in 1964, they were amazed to find many of its compartments and artifacts perfectly intact, almost as if the sailors had intended that their ship serve as a time capsule. Today, the Cairo is a snapshot of life aboard a Union gunboat, and affords a well-preserved glimpse into the past. This is the first book dedicated entirely to the Cairo artifact collection. In over 160 photographs, it displays many of the warship's most interesting historical pieces, with descriptions, measurements and other pertinent information for each piece. Artifacts are organized according to use, with categories ranging from tobacco and smoking devices, personal effects and toiletries, and medical equipment to small arms and cannon. The work also offers background information on the Cairo and the everyday life of a sailor and a short description of the Cairo's sinking and raising.

Book excerpt: Three years after American raceplanes failed dismally in the most important air race of 1920, a French magazine lamented that American "pilots have broken the records which we, here in France, considered as our own for so long." The Pulitzer Trophy Air Races (1920 through 1925), endowed by the sons of publisher Joseph Pulitzer in his memory, brought about this remarkable turnaround. Pulitzer winning speeds increased from 157 to 249 mph, and Pulitzer racers, mounted on floats, twice won the most prestigious international air race--the Schneider Trophy Race for seaplanes. Airplanes, engines, propellers, and other equipment developed for the Pulitzers were sold domestically and internationally. More than a million spectators saw the Pulitzers; millions more read about them and watched them in newsreels. This, the first book about the Pulitzers, tells the story of businessmen, generals and admirals who saw racing as a way to drive aviation progress, designers and manufacturers who produced record-breaking racers, and dashing pilots who gave the races their public face. It emphasizes the roles played by the communities that hosted the races--Garden City (Long Island), Omaha, Detroit and Mt. Clemens, Michigan, St. Louis, and Dayton. The book concludes with an analysis of the Pulitzers' importance and why they have languished in obscurity for so long.
