Download or read book Ragging it written by H. Loring White and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2005 with total page 435 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ragging It takes the reader on a lively, historical journey back to the days of vaudeville, fancy women, amusement parks, lynch mobs, saloons, and cabarets--a time when the upbeat music of ragtime was a craze that permeated our culture. Author H. Loring White, a former history professor, focuses on the vastly contrasting biographies of Theodore Roosevelt and Scott Joplin, while showcasing the uniqueness of ragtime--the first popular syncopated music of the masses. In 1900, times began to move more quickly. With citizens no longer isolated on farms, ragtime was eagerly accepted by the world's first generation of popular culture, which also reveled in cakewalks; coon songs; and animal dances, such as the Grizzly Bear, Turkey Trot, and Bunny Hug. White recounts true stories about show business, political events, the repression of African-Americans, the world's fairs, and the triumphs of technology. Although ragtime disappeared abruptly in just a few years with the emergence of jazz, White never lets you forget the vital role that ragtime played in the Progressive Era of American culture. With its new and vital interpretation of the Roosevelt era, he will take you back to a lively time in history when everyone was Ragging It!

Book excerpt: In Strip Club, Kim Price‒Glynn takes us behind the scenes at a rundown club where women strip out of economic need, a place where strippers’ stories are not glamorous or liberating, but emotionally demanding and physically exhausting. Strip Club reveals the intimate working lives of not just the women up on stage, but also the patrons and other workers who make the place run: the owner‒manager, bartenders, dejays, doormen, bouncers, housemoms, and cocktail waitresses. Price‒Glynn spent fourteen months at The Lion’s Den working as a cocktail waitress, and her uncommonly deep access reveals a conflict‒ridden workplace, similar to any other workplace, one where gender inequalities are reproduced through the everyday interactions of customers and workers. Taking a novel approach to this controversial and often misunderstood industry, Price‒Glynn draws a fascinating portrait of life and work inside the strip club.

Download or read book Speck written by Peter Gordon Buchanan-Smith and published by Princeton Architectural Press. This book was released on 2001-11 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Speck, Peter Buchanan-Smith, Art Director of the New York Times Op-Ed page, asks artists, designers, lawyers, writers, collectors, and photographers to explore our obsessions with the small objects that loom large in our everyday lives.To wit: Maira Kalman empties people's pocketbooks; Nicholas Blechman and Jesse Gordon trace the history of the oldest piece of dust; David Horrowitz catalogs manhole covers; and Peter Buchanan-Smith unearths a 1966 high school yearbook and transcribes the inscriptions ("To a real sweet and cute guy with a great personality. Remember English III").Speck also shows how "ordinary" people can fascinate as much as "ordinary" objects: an interview with shoe shiner Harry Kitt, Manhattan's last practitioner of the dry-shine, photographs taken by a blind man on a sight-seeing tour, and a barber's extensive collection of earth, water, and air from around the world ask us to re-think our assumptions about the commonplace.

Download or read book The Scalpel Writes written by ABEL W K ARUMUGAM and published by Notion Press. This book was released on 2021-07-28 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abel Arumugam has been a General Surgeon for about 40 years, working in and around Malaysia. In this book he has chronicled his life’s journey in different chapters. It tells of his failures and successes with honesty and candour. It has been a labour of love that he hopes you will enjoy reading. Reviewes : “Dr. Arumugams’s scalpel is indeed sharp, but not as sharp as his wit, and unlike the unforgiving finality of a surgical “slice”, his slice of humour brings chuckles always, guffaws sometimes, and rarely death threats from the Subject of his jokes. But then…… he has the scalpel for his defence!” Prof Alka Sinha Ganesh Professor of Medicine Christian Medical College, Vellore , India Reading Abel Arumugam’s personal journey in ‘The Scalpel Writes’, one is reminded of Dorothy Springs’s quotation “ Life is like a camera - just focus on what’s important , capture the good times, develop from negatives and if things don’t work out just take another shot”. Abel is jovial, carefree and fun loving and his focus in life is his family, numerous close friends and his surgical career. The ‘snap shots’ capture the good times in all these and his narratives are portrayed in fun, immense love and with enthusiasm. No mention of any negatives to develop from and he does not say what he did if things did not work out – I suppose, as usual, he just ordered another shot!!
