Download or read book Toys WeRe Us written by Frank Cost and published by . This book was released on 2018-04-07 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Henrietta, New York, Toys R Us has existed in its current location since the 1980s. The layout of the floorplan remains largely as we remember it when our children were young and full of desires to take possession of many things that were contained within its perimeter. A trip to Toys R Us, with or without one or more of the children in tow, triggered much anxiety. If a child were not present, the store offered precious few winning prizes amid thousands of potential disappointments. Getting through the store with childen felt like crossing a minefield. Much emotion was expended by our family in that store. But that doesn't stop us from feeling a powerful nostalgia when we contemplate the store closing. I am transported back to more than one Christmas Eve pawing through disorganized remnants of the holiday shopping frenzy looking desperately for something to balance the scales and mitigate the inevitable disappointments of the following morning. A few times I succeeded. More often my exhausted decisions ended up making matters worse. Before we left the store today, I asked the cashier whether she knew when it had opened. She said she had no idea, and asked some of her co-workers, who also did not know. I told them it had been there since long before any of them were born. When Toys R Us no longer exists, I wonder how people are going to shop for toys. Perhaps from now on children will simply ask Amazon to bring them whatever toys they want, whenever they want them. We should figure out a way to have Amazon charge it all to their student loan bills. No more parental anxiety!

Book Synopsis Toys Were Us by : Nicholas Whittaker
Download or read book Toys Were Us written by Nicholas Whittaker and published by Orion Publishing Company. This book was released on 2001 with total page 197 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nicholas Whittaker's Toys Were Us is an analysis of the world of toys. Unashamedly nostalgic in parts, Whittaker rolls back the years and lovingly examines the detail of many lost, forgotten, or just plain old toys. Provisionally broken down into subjects and themes -- from 'having wheels' (pedal cars, roller skates) to 'war' (toy soldiers, airfix kits), etc -- the book is a chronology but also tackles many contemporary issues such as media-fuelled crazes, controversial violations of safety regulations, how Britain has lost its hold on the toy market and the ever-increasing commercialisation of toys. This is a hitherto unwritten cultural history, full of Whittaker's characteristic wit, irreverence and eye for hidden, obscure detail.

Download or read book Moby-Duck written by Donovan Hohn and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2011-03-03 with total page 379 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Selected by The New York Times Book Review as a Notable Book of the Year A revelatory tale of science, adventure, and modern myth. When the writer Donovan Hohn heard of the mysterious loss of thousands of bath toys at sea, he figured he would interview a few oceanographers, talk to a few beachcombers, and read up on Arctic science and geography. But questions can be like ocean currents: wade in too far, and they carry you away. Hohn's accidental odyssey pulls him into the secretive world of shipping conglomerates, the daring work of Arctic researchers, the lunatic risks of maverick sailors, and the shadowy world of Chinese toy factories. Moby-Duck is a journey into the heart of the sea and an adventure through science, myth, the global economy, and some of the worst weather imaginable. With each new discovery, Hohn learns of another loose thread, and with each successive chase, he comes closer to understanding where his castaway quarry comes from and where it goes. In the grand tradition of Tony Horwitz and David Quammen, Moby-Duck is a compulsively readable narrative of whimsy and curiosity.
