City of Big Shoulders links key events in Chicago's development, from its marshy origins in the 1600s to today's robust metropolis. Robert G. Spinney presents Chicago in terms of the people whose lives made the city—from the tycoons and the politicians to the hundreds of thousands of immigrants from all over the world. In this revised and updated second edition that brings Chicago's story into the twenty-first century, Spinney sweeps his historian's gaze across the colorful and dramatic panorama of the city's explosive past. How did the pungent swamplands that the Native Americans called "the wild-garlic place" burgeon into one of the world's largest and most sophisticated cities? What is the real story behind the Great Chicago Fire? What aspects of American industry exploded with the bomb in Haymarket Square? Could the gritty blue-collar hometown of Al Capone become a visionary global city? A city of immigrants and entrepreneurs, Chicago is quintessentially American. Spinney brings it to life and highlights the key people, moments, and special places—from Fort Dearborn to Cabrini-Green, Marquette to Mayor Daley, the Union Stock Yards to the Chicago Bulls—that make this incredible city one of the best places in the world.

From the introduction: Broad shoulders are always admired. There probably isn't a man anywhere in the world who would not be pleased to have a broader pair of shoulders if he had his choice. You see proof of this around you everyday, for almost without exception the shoulders of men, and of women too, are broadened by padding of some sort. You will notice this particularly in the movies, for there the art of shoulder padding reaches the acme of perfection. The padded shoulders of the coat stand out inches beyond the arm and real shoulder which lie beneath them. When a man has narrow shoulders he has his tailor build them out as far as possible, and when he already has broad shoulders he tries to make them appear still broader than they are, by the shoulder padding. For if there is any one feature of a man's physique which is noticed more than any other when clothed or in athletic, sport or summer clothing, it is the shoulders. People turn around to take a second look at the man with broad shoulders, perhaps unconsciously they form the impression that there is a strong, virile man, a real man. And particularly now when it is the style for every man to have broad shoulders, it is more important than ever that the man who wishes to look well should do something, should do considerable in fact, to develop his shoulders. For the most expert tailor can not build up a pair of shoulders of cotton or wooden pads which will compare favorably with the genuine article, really broad shoulders which are broad because the muscles of the shoulder girdle are well developed and as a result of regular, progressive exercise the shoulder bones have thickened and the attachments have stretched to the point where the shoulders are much broader. The man who has narrow, thin, muscle less, clothes-rack type of shoulders can only partially disguise the fact even though he employ the best of tailors. And a man does not and can not always be wearing his coat. When the coat comes off, what a sad difference in appearance is presented by most men. During the summer especially, there are more times when a man is not wearing a coat than when he is wearing it. To keep the shoulders of movie starts looking presentable their shirts must be padded too, and it is not possible for this type of star to look well when the shirt is removed. Even in very formal, particular sections of civilization there are times when a man takes off his coat.

City of the Big Shoulders by Ryan G. Van Cleave Pdf
Chicago has served as touchstone and muse to generations of writers and artists defined by their relationship to the city’s history, lore, inhabitants, landmarks, joys and sorrows, pride and shame. The poetic conversations inspired by Chicago have long been a vital part of America’s literary landscape, from Carl Sandburg and Gwendolyn Brooks to experimental writers and today’s slam poets. The one hundred contributors to this vibrant collection take their materials and their inspirations from the city itself in a way that continues this energetic dialogue. The cultural, ethnic, and aesthetic diversity in this gathering of poems springs from a variety of viewpoints, styles, and voices as multifaceted and energetic as the city itself. Cristin O’Keefe Aptowicz: “I want to eat / in a city smart enough to know that if you / are going to have that heart attack, you might / as well have the pleasure of knowing // you’ve really earned it”; Renny Golden: “In the heat of May 1937, my grandfather / sits in the spring grass of an industrial park / with hundreds of striking steelworkers”; Joey Nicoletti: “The wind pulls a muscle / as fans yell the vine off the outfield wall, / mustard-stained shirts, hot dog smiles, and all.” The combined energies of these poems reveal the mystery and beauty that is Second City, the City by the Lake, New Gotham, Paris on the Prairie, the Windy City, the Heart of America, and Sandburg’s iconic City of the Big Shoulders.
The Only Shoulder Workout You Will Ever Need Weight training is a very thought out process that requires knowing which exercises are not only going to strengthen your muscles, but which ones will also add on to your muscle size. The same is true when it comes to working out your shoulders. You may think that by working out your arms, chest, and upper back your shoulders will automatically be affected. This just is not true. Not only do your genetics play a role in how big your muscles can actually get, but like any other part of your body specific workouts must be applied to the area. Inside Grant Michael's shoulder workout guide, you will get 11 great exercises that are specifically for toning and building your shoulder muscle mass. You will never look back once you fully understand how your body is impacted by each and every exercise you perform. How Will This Book Help You Increase Your Shoulder Muscle Mass?

These 11 exercises will not only focus on the specific deltoid muscles located in the shoulders, but also on the areas surrounding them and the full body.

You will be taught how to master top-of-the-line weight training exercises that people at the top of their field perform. Why Do You Need a Workout Focused on Your Shoulders? Weight training is a very specific type of working out. The main goal is to obviously build weight onto your body, and when adding this weight you want it to be evenly distributed throughout your muscle mass. Often the shoulders will be overlooked because the trainer thinks that they will automatically be affected from the other exercises. The shoulders are actually the most moveable joints in the body. This makes them very unstable if the muscles, ligaments, and tendons surrounding them are not strengthened. Since your shoulders are involved in the many daily movements that you make with your upper body, it is important to make sure that they have as much attention during your exercise as the rest of your body. What You Should Take Away from This Book When the shoulders are in top shape subsequently so are all areas that are attached to them instead of the other way around. Anyone who has ever suffered from a shoulder injury knows just how important this part of the arm and upper body is. However, with these exercises you will not end up with widely disproportionately shoulder muscles either. Instead you will use the weight training contained within to expand on the strength and size of your shoulders while simultaneously keeping them even with the rest of your body's size.

“A wonderfully readable account of Chicago’s early history” and the inspiration behind PBS’s American Experience (Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times). Depicting its turbulent beginnings to its current status as one of the world’s most dynamic cities, City of the Century tells the story of Chicago—and the story of America, writ small. From its many natural disasters, including the Great Fire of 1871 and several cholera epidemics, to its winner-take-all politics, dynamic business empires, breathtaking architecture, its diverse cultures, and its multitude of writers, journalists, and artists, Chicago’s story is violent, inspiring, passionate, and fascinating from the first page to the last. The winner of the prestigious Great Lakes Book Award, given to the year’s most outstanding books highlighting the American heartland, City of the Century has received consistent rave reviews since its publication in 1996, and was made into a six-hour film airing on PBS’s American Experience series. Written with energetic prose and exacting detail, it brings Chicago’s history to vivid life. “With City of the Century, Miller has written what will be judged as the great Chicago history.” —John Barron, Chicago Sun-Times “Brims with life, with people, surprise, and with stories.” —David McCullough, Pulitzer Prize–winning author of John Adams and Truman “An invaluable companion in my journey through Old Chicago.” —Erik Larson, New York Times–bestselling author of The Devil in the White City
