Download or read book Sales Celebrations written by Sarah Elvins and published by Ohio University Press. This book was released on 2004 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Between the two world wars, the retail world experienced tremendous changes. New forms of competition, expanded networks of communication and transportation, and the proliferation of manufactured goods posed challenges to department store and small shopkeeper alike. In western New York, and in Buffalo and Rochester in particular, retailers were a crucial part of urban life, acting as cultural brokers and civic leaders. They were also cultivators of area pride. Even as they adopted the latest merchandising techniques or stocked the newest items, merchants emphasized their local roots and their ability to put a local spin on national trends and innovations. Regional identity became a powerful selling tool not only during the prosperity of the 1920s but also through the economic crisis of the Great Depression. Sales and Celebrations explains how local traditions and institutions affected the evolution of American consumer culture. It expands our understanding of American consumerism, demonstrating that local particularities and loyalties could often coexist with, and occasionally challenge, the spread of mass consumption. In her award-winning study, Professor Sarah Elvins provides new insight into the relationship between America's largest metropolises and its smaller centers. Retailers in Buffalo and Rochester did not simply imitate the practices of their counterparts in Manhattan and Chicago; they highlighted their unique ability to serve the wants and needs of their particular markets. By drawing attention to this persistent power of the local, Sales and Celebrations illuminates a neglected aspect of the story of American culture in the interwar period.
Download or read book Festival Cities written by John R. Gold and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-12-03 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Festivals have always been part of city life, but their relationship with their host cities has continually changed. With the rise of industrialization, they were largely considered peripheral to the course of urban affairs. Now they have become central to new ways of thinking about the challenges of economic and social change, as well as repositioning cities within competitive global networks. In this timely and thought-provoking book, John and Margaret Gold provide a reflective and evidence-based historical survey of the processes and actors involved, charting the ways that regular festivals have now become embedded in urban life and city planning. Beginning with David Garrick’s rain-drenched Shakespearean Jubilee and ending with Sydney’s flamboyant Mardi Gras celebrations, it encompasses the emergence and consolidation of city festivals. After a contextual historical survey that stretches from Antiquity to the late nineteenth century, there are detailed case studies of pioneering European arts festivals in their urban context: Venice’s Biennale, the Salzburg Festival, the Cannes Film Festival and Edinburgh’s International Festival. Ensuing chapters deal with the worldwide proliferation of arts festivals after 1950 and with the ever-increasing diversifycation of carnival celebrations, particularly through the actions of groups seeking to assert their identity. The conclusion draws together the book’s key themes and sketches the future prospects for festival cities. Lavishly illustrated, and copiously researched, this book is essential reading not just for urban geographers, social historians and planners, but also for anyone interested in contemporary festival and events tourism, urban events strategy, urban regeneration regeneration, or simply building a fuller understanding of the relationship between culture, planning and the city.

This book was released on 2023-12-02 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Demons, blood-drinking drakhalu, secret magic rituals… Lasniniar may play host to elves, dwarves, and other mythical creatures, but it has its share of darkness too. Take a walk on the spooky side with three short story adventures from the Legends of Lasniniar fantasy series, by the author of the Fatal Empire series, Jacquelyn Smith: By the Light of the Moon A New Kind of Magic The Devil You Know By the Light of the Moon No matter where their journeys take them, Barlo and Iarion always seem to find trouble. The eve of the Harvest Festival. The dwarf and elf pair find themselves potentially lost on the way to the closest human village. A blanket of mist drifts from the nearby hills to obscure the dirt road as night closes in. Barlo remains content to let Iarion lead the way. At least then he can blame his elf friend if—no when—things go wrong. Still, Barlo’s hand stays close to his ax. What danger lurks in the darkness beyond the mist? The infamous duo of Barlo and Iarion return in this spooky, stand-alone misadventure story from the Legends of Lasniniar fantasy series. (Previously published as “Legends of Lasniniar: By the Light of the Moon.” This adventure takes place between the World of Lasniniar novels Wave Runners and Godmaker.) A New Kind of Magic Paige trudges along the Great North Road and does her best to ignore her misery. An autumn rain pelts her face and soaks her to the skin. A lone dwarf woman wandering Northern Lasniniar in search of adventure. A part of her wishes she never left her warm, comfortable burrow with Barlo. But Paige knows she needs to find her own way in the world if she wants to become something more. ...A hero in her own right. A stand-alone story that opens a door to new possibilities in the Legends of Lasniniar fantasy series. (Previously published as “Legends of Lasniniar: A New Kind of Magic.” This adventure takes place between the World of Lasniniar novels Wave Runners and Godmaker.) The Devil You Know Merchants peddle fear in Belierumar. Mothers cling to their children as they walk through the crowded marketplace. Eyes dart as people hurry to make their dubious purchases. Demon-warding amulets. Herbs guaranteed to help victims of possession. Paige inspects them all with a jaundiced eye. The young dwarf woman knows how to deal with demons. Probably better than anyone else in Lasniniar. ...With good reason. In the aftermath of war, a new era begins in this stand-alone story from the Legends of Lasniniar fantasy series. (Previously published as “Legends of Lasniniar: The Devil You Know.” This adventure takes place after the World of Lasniniar novel Harbingers.)
