Download or read book The Santa Claus Man written by Alex Palmer and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2015-10-01 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The true story of John Duval Gluck, Jr., who in 1913 founded the Santa Claus Association, which had the sole authority to answer Santa's mail in New York City. He ran the organization for 15 years, gaining fame for making the myth of Santa a reality to poor children by arranging for donors to deliver the toys they requested, until a crusading charity commissioner exposed Gluck as a fraud. The story is wide in scope, interweaving a phony Boy Scout group, kidnapping, stolen artwork, and appearances by the era's biggest stars and New York City’s most famous landmarks. The book is both a personal story and a far-reaching historical one, tracing the history of Christmas celebration in America and the invention of Santa Claus.
Download or read book A Mile of Make Believe written by Steve Penfold and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2016-01-01 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Mile of Make Believe examines the unique history of the Santa Claus parade in Canada. This volume focuses on the Eaton's sponsored parades that occurred in Toronto, Montreal and Winnipeg as well as the shorter-lived parades in Calgary and Edmonton. There is also a discussion of small town alternatives, organized by civic groups, service clubs, and chambers of commerce. By focusing on the pioneering effort of the Eaton's department store Steve Penfold argues that the parade ultimately represented a paradoxical form of cultural power: it allowed Eaton's to press its image onto public life while also reflecting the decline of the once powerful retailer. Penfold's analysis reveals the "corporate fantastic" - a visual and narrative mix of meticulous organization and whimsical style- and its influence on parade traditions. Steve Penfold's considerable analytical skills have produced a work that is simultaneously a cultural history, history of business and commentary on consumerism. Professional historians and the general public alike would be remiss if this wasn't on their holiday wish list.

Download or read book The Rise of Consumer Capitalism in America 1880 1930 written by Cesare Silla and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-04-27 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a genealogical account of the rise of consumer capitalism, tracing its origins in America between 1880 and 1930 and explaining how it emerged to become the dominant form of social organization of our time. Asking how it was that we came to be consumers who live in societies that revolve around an ever-spinning circle of production and consumption, not only of goods, but also of events, experiences, emotions and relations, The Rise of Consumer Capitalism in America presents an extensive analysis of primary sources to demonstrate the conditions and forces from which consumer capitalism emerged and became victorious. Employing a Weberian approach that brings liminality to the fore as a master concept to make sense of historical change, the author links an in-depth empirical investigation to supple sociological theorizing to show how the encirclement of all aspects of life by the logic of consumer capitalism was a time-bound historical creation rather than a necessary one. A fascinating study of the appearance and triumph of the "ideology" of our age, this book will appeal to scholars of social and anthropological theory, historical sociology, cultural history and American studies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Did John's belief in God influence his life? In June 1933, Canada was in the depths of an ongoing Depression. As the third child born into a poor farm family working a hilly fifty acres littered with boulders, John Geen grew up amid a turbulent childhood where he learned to go without and relied on his faith in God. In a retelling of his life experiences, Geen chronicles his often obstacle-lined road to future fortune that began in the stubble fields of Manitoba harvesting wheat. He dealt with a cantankerous old rooster, school adventures and influences, and misfortunes that tested him in ways he never imagined. As he leads others through his varied experiences, Geen details his path as he dropped out of high school to marry the love of his life, started a family, secured jobs without academic credentials, relocated to the United States, and overcame seemingly insurmountable odds to attain professional success. The Other Book of John is the true story of how an uneducated boy emerged from poverty and the obscurity of an Ontario farm to realize personal and professional accomplishments.
