Since it was first published in 1939, Mike Mulligan and His Steam Shovel has delighted generations of children. Mike and his trusty steam shovel, Mary Anne, dig deep canals for boats to travel through, cut mountain passes for trains, and hollow out cellars for city skyscrapers -- the very symbol of industrial America. But with progress come new machines, and soon the inseparable duo are out of work. Mike believes that Mary Anne can dig as much in a day as one hundred men can dig in a week, and the two have one last chance to prove it and save Mary Anne from the scrap heap. What happens next in the small town of Popperville is a testament to their friendship, and to old-fashioned hard work and ingenuity.

Book Synopsis Steam-powered workshops as model by : Volker Koch
Download or read book Steam-powered workshops as model written by Volker Koch and published by Verlag für Technik und Handwerk. This book was released on with total page 652 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The use of steam engines to drive machine tools was the cornerstone of the first industrial revolution, and it was only the use of electric motors that made the complicated - and not entirely harmless - transmissions superfluous. No wonder, then, that model makers are also fascinated by such workshops with their complex mechanics. But how do you build such a workshop? Can you build it yourself? Or can commercially available components be used to create an attractive steam workshop? Volker Koch answers these questions and many more in his extensively illustrated book, which revives a fascinating piece of technical history. From the content: Driving machines, transmissions, operating models The "three-part machine system” Driving machines for model workshops Transmissions for model workshops Operating models for model workshops Drive by a simple model locomobile Robust self-made steam engine A simple hammer mill with steam drive Model workshop with Märklin components A simple Mamod layout Self-made operating models

Download or read book Kids' Stuff written by Gary Cross and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 1999-11-15 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To sort out who's who and what's what in the enchanting, vexing world of Barbies(R) and Ninja Turtles(R), Tinkertoys(R) and teddy bears, is to begin to see what's become of childhood in America. It is this changing world, and what it unveils about our values, that Gary Cross explores in Kids' Stuff, a revealing look into the meaning of American toys through this century. Early in the 1900s toys reflected parents' ideas about children and their futures. Erector sets introduced boys to a realm of business and technology, while baby dolls anticipated motherhood and building blocks honed the fine motor skills of the youngest children. Kids' Stuff chronicles the transformation that occurred as the interests and intentions of parents, children, and the toy industry gradually diverged--starting in the 1930s when toymakers, marketing playthings inspired by popular favorites like Shirley Temple and Buck Rogers, began to appeal directly to the young. TV advertising, blockbuster films like Star Wars(R), and Saturday morning cartoons exploited their youthful audience in new and audacious ways. Meanwhile, powerful social and economic forces were transforming the nature of play in American society. Cross offers a richly textured account of a culture in which erector sets and baby dolls are no longer alone in preparing children for the future, and in which the toys that now crowd the racks are as perplexing for parents as they are beguiling for little boys and girls. Whether we want our children to be high achievers in a competitive world or playful and free from the worries of adult life, the toy store confronts us with many choices. What does the endless array of action figures and fashion dolls mean? Are children--or parents--the dupes of the film, television, and toy industries, with their latest fads and fantasies? What does this say about our time, and what does it bode for our future? Tapping a vein of rich cultural history, Kids' Stuff exposes the serious business behind a century of playthings.

Book Synopsis Toys in the Age of Wonder by : Mark Rich
Download or read book Toys in the Age of Wonder written by Mark Rich and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2020-08-28 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By the middle 1800s, toys were appearing in forms that drew upon--and that inspired--advances in areas such as optics, biology, geography, transportation, and automation. In these decades, too, a new type of wonder tale was being brought to maturity by a Poe-inspired Jules Verne. The modern wonder tale's highly-charged vision expressed the hopes and the fears, and the delights and the traumas, engendered by "new worlds idealism"--that Western pursuit of both mechanical and geographical conquest. Exploring realms belonging to childhood, literature, science, and history, this innovative study weaves together the histories of wonder tales and children's toys, focusing specifically on their modern aspects and how they reflect and express the social attitudes of that time period beginning around 1859 and ending around 1957.
