The most casual onlooker to American life saw examples of the new technology on Main Street, on the local railway platform, and in the pages of popular magazines.
A major consequence of this technology was its effect on the arts, in particular the literary arts. Three prominent American writers of the time --... Shifting Gears is a richly illustrated exploration of the American era of gear-and-girder technology. From the 1890s to the 1920s machines and ...

Embodiment of a Nation: Human Form in American Places
ISBN: 9780674013612 / Angielski / Miękka / 2004 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. From Harriet Beecher Stowe's image of the Mississippi's "bosom" to Henry David Thoreau's Cape Cod as "the bared and bended arm of Massachusetts," the U.S. environment has been recurrently represented in terms of the human body. Exploring such instances of embodiment, Cecelia Tichi exposes the historically varied and often contrary geomorphic expression of a national paradigm. Environmental history as cultural studies, her book plumbs the deep and peculiarly American bond between nationalism, the environment, and the human body. Tichi disputes the United States' reputation of being...

Jack London: A Writer's Fight for a Better America
ISBN: 9781469636054 / Angielski / Miękka / 2017 / 296 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Jack London (1876-1916) found fame with his wolf-dog tales and sagas of the frozen North, but Cecelia Tichi challenges the long-standing view of London as merely a mass-market producer of potboilers. A onetime child laborer, London led a life of poverty in the Gilded Age before rising to worldwide acclaim for stories, novels, and essays designed to hasten the social, economic, and political advance of America. In this major reinterpretation of London's career, Tichi examines how the beloved writer leveraged his written words as a force for the future.
Tracing the arc of London's work... Jack London (1876-1916) found fame with his wolf-dog tales and sagas of the frozen North, but Cecelia Tichi challenges the long-standing view of Londo...

Civic Passions: Seven Who Launched Progressive America (and What They Teach Us)
ISBN: 9780807871911 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 400 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. A gripping and inspiring book, Civic Passions examines innovative leadership in periods of crisis in American history. Starting from the late nineteenth century, when respected voices warned that America was on the brink of collapse, Cecelia Tichi explores the wisdom of practical visionaries who were confronted with a series of social, political, and financial upheavals that, in certain respects, seem eerily similar to modern times. The United States--then, as now--was riddled with political corruption, financial panics, social disruption, labor strife, and bourgeois inertia....

Electronic Hearth: Creating an American Television Culture
ISBN: 9780195079142 / Angielski / Miękka / 1992 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. We all talk about the "tube" or "box," as if television were simply another appliance like the refrigerator or toaster oven. But Cecilia Tichi argues that TV is actually an environment--a pervasive screen-world that saturates almost every aspect of modern life. In Electronic Hearth, she looks at how that environment evolved, and how it, in turn, has shaped the American experience.
Tichi explores almost fifty years of writing about television--in novels, cartoons, journalism, advertising, and critical books and articles--to define the role of television in the American consciousness. She... We all talk about the "tube" or "box," as if television were simply another appliance like the refrigerator or toaster oven. But Cecilia Tichi argues ...

Looking Backward: 2000-1887

This is the America to which Julian West, a young Bostonian, awakens after more than a century of sleep.

But however rich in fantasy and romance, Looking Backward is a passionate attach on the social ills of nineteenth-century...
