Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Aristocracy of Health: A Study of Physical Culture, Our Favorite, Poisons, and a National and International, League for Advancement of Physical Culture It is delightful to catch a new view of the world as discovered by the physical culturist who has brought his health up to a certain standard. This is quite another world when seen through lenses which are not blurred nor improperly adjusted; when the fine machinery of the living organism no longer struggles either in self-defence or for repairs, but works easily and smoothly; when blood-corpuscles are no longer disintegrated, spiculated, and pale, but round, red, and rich laden; when membranes are no longer benumbed and inactive, as a result of irritating influences, but alert and absorbent, facilitating quick and easy building of tissues, and quick and easy elimination of natural waste products; when the body engine is no longer compressed by tight clothing, but is full in capacity; when the sensitized, photographic plates of the brain are no longer inert, but quick to receive and reflect correct, sharp, and lasting impressions; when the body-machine is no longer oppressed with the clinkers of surplus material; when reserve forces are no longer wasted or dissipated by avoidable devitalizing expenditures, but are rich in store.

Download or read book Aristocracy and the Modern World written by Ellis Wasson and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2017-09-16 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ellis Wasson offers one of the first comprehensive studies of the European ruling class during the 19th and 20th centuries. Distilling a wealth of recent research, Wasson analyses the role of aristocracy in modern times, focusing on the tensions that exist between egalitarian values and the way elites shape society. Wasson explodes myths and jettisons stereotypes in sweeping coverage that takes the story from the Congress of Vienna to Stalingrad. The study recounts the change from the genteel world of court balls to Café Society and finally on to Eurotrash. It also contrasts the paradox of continued aristocratic social power and cultural leadership with the gradual decline in their political authority. Aristocracy and the Modern World covers key topics, such as: - The fabulous wealth of the great magnates - The relationship between servants and masters - Interaction with the middle classes - Concepts of honour - Culture, recreation and gender - Local authority and national power. Lively and authoritative, the book reviews developments in Scandinavia, the Austro-Hungarian Empire, France, Italy and Spain as well as in Britain, Germany and Russia. It is essential reading for all those with an interest in modern European history.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Times (UK) book of the year! Meritocracy: the idea that people should be advanced according to their talents rather than their birth. While this initially seemed like a novel concept, by the end of the twentieth century it had become the world's ruling ideology. How did this happen, and why is meritocracy now under attack from both right and left? In The Aristocracy of Talent, esteemed journalist and historian Adrian Wooldridge traces the history of meritocracy forged by the politicians and officials who introduced the revolutionary principle of open competition, the psychologists who devised methods for measuring natural mental abilities, and the educationalists who built ladders of educational opportunity. He looks outside western cultures and shows what transformative effects it has had everywhere it has been adopted, especially once women were brought into the meritocratic system. Wooldridge also shows how meritocracy has now become corrupted and argues that the recent stalling of social mobility is the result of failure to complete the meritocratic revolution. Rather than abandoning meritocracy, he says, we should call for its renewal.

Download or read book America's Secret Aristocracy written by Stephen Birmingham and published by Open Road Media. This book was released on 2024-05-14 with total page 460 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An “entertaining and perceptive” history of America’s most exclusive families, from the Brahmins of New England to the Grandees of California (The Washington Post). America has always been a constitutionally classless society, yet an American aristocracy emerged anyway—a private club whose members run in the same circles and observe the same unwritten rules. Here, renowned social historian Stephen Birmingham reveals the inner workings of this aristocracy. He identifies which families in which cities have always mattered, and how they’ve defined America. America’s Secret Aristocracy offers an inside look at the estates, marriages, and financial empires of America’s most powerful families—from the Randolphs of Virginia and the Roosevelts of New York to the Carillos and Ortegas of California. With countless anecdotes about our nation’s elite, including interviews with their modern-day descendants, Birmingham presents colorful portraits that capture the true definition, essence, and customs of America’s aristocracy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the outset of the 1870s, the British aristocracy could rightly consider themselves the most fortunate people on earth: they held the lion's share of land, wealth and power in the world's greatest empire. By the end of the 1930s they had lost not only a generation of sons in the First World War, but also much of their prosperity, prestige and political significance.David Cannadine shows how this shift came about and how it was reinforced in the aftermath of the Second World War. Lucidly written and sparkling with wit, The Decline and Fall of the British Aristocracy is a landmark study that dramatically changes our understanding of British social history
