This book was released on 2018-02-06 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The New Lawn and Parlor Game, "America" Its Principles and Rules America was first introduced to the public in the latter part of September, 1874, and owing to the lateness of the season, but few games were sold; yet, wherever the game was introduced it was received with great favor, owing, no doubt, to its simplicity and beauty of construction; while its cost is no greater than that of the ordinary Croquet set. Several new lawn games have been presented to the public within the last four years, and nearly all of them have proved failures, because. They were so complicated that it was difficult to learn to play, them, and the cost of the game, so great, but sons could afford to buy a set, Croquet alone, standing the test of time. America is not designed to supplant Croquet. We offer to the public a game highly interesting in itself, combining all the healthful exercise of Croquet; a game which admits of the skill of the best Croquet and Billiard player, and yet so simple, so easy to comprehend, that a child can soon learn how to play it. Not only has the game these advantages, but the additional one, that with the same materials of which the game 18 constructed, any one desiring, can play Croquet.

Download or read book Laboring to Play written by Melanie Dawson and published by University of Alabama Press. This book was released on 2013-09-05 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A compelling analysis of how "middling" Americans entertained themselves and how these entertainments changed over time. The changing styles of middle-class home entertainments, Melanie Dawson argues, point to evolving ideas of class identity in U.S. culture. Drawing from 19th- and early-20th-century fiction, guidebooks on leisure, newspaper columns, and a polemical examination of class structures, Laboring to Play interrogates the ways that leisure performances (such as parlor games, charades, home dramas, and tableaux vivants) encouraged participants to test out the boundaries that were beginning to define middle-class lifestyles. From 19th-century parlor games involving grotesque physical contortions to early-20th-century recitations of an idealized past, leisure employments mediated between domestic and public spheres, individuals and class-based affiliations, and ideals of egalitarian social life and visible hierarchies based on privilege. Negotiating these paradigms, home entertainments provided their participants with unique ways of performing displays of individual ambitions within a world of polite social interaction. Laboring to Play deals with subjects as wide ranging as social performances, social history (etiquette and gentility), literary history, representations of childhood, and the history of the book.

Book excerpt: Joystick Soldiers is the first anthology to examine the reciprocal relationship between militarism and video games. War has been an integral theme of the games industry since the invention of the first video game, Spacewar! in 1962.While war video games began as entertainment, military organizations soon saw their potential as combat simulation and recruitment tools. A profitable and popular relationship was established between the video game industry and the military, and continues today with video game franchises like America’s Army, which was developed by the U.S.Army as a public relations and recruitment tool. This collection features all new essays that explore how modern warfare has been represented in and influenced by video games. The contributors explore the history and political economy of video games and the "military-entertainment complex;" present textual analyses of military-themed video games such as Metal Gear Solid; and offer reception studies of gamers, fandom, and political activism within online gaming.
