Reading the Market by Peter Knight Pdf

America’s fascination with the stock market dates back to the Gilded Age. Winner of the BAAS Book Prize of the British Association of American Studies Americans pay famously close attention to “the market,” obsessively watching trends, patterns, and swings and looking for clues in every fluctuation. In Reading the Market, Peter Knight explores the Gilded Age origins and development of this peculiar interest. He tracks the historic shift in market operations from local to national while examining how present-day ideas about the nature of markets are tied to past genres of financial representation. Drawing on the late nineteenth-century explosion of art, literature, and media, which sought to dramatize the workings of the stock market for a wide audience, Knight shows how ordinary Americans became both emotionally and financially invested in the market. He analyzes popular investment manuals, brokers’ newsletters, newspaper columns, magazine articles, illustrations, and cartoons. He also introduces readers to fiction featuring financial tricksters, which was characterized by themes of personal trust and insider information. The book reveals how the popular culture of the period shaped the very idea of the market as a self-regulating mechanism by making the impersonal abstractions of high finance personal and concrete. From the rise of ticker-tape technology to the development of conspiracy theories, Reading the Market argues that commentary on the Stock Exchange between 1870 and 1915 changed how Americans understood finance—and explains what our pervasive interest in Wall Street says about us now.

Working Land by Jon Solinger Pdf

Working Land, by Minnesota photographer Jon Solinger, tells the stories of six family farms in his Otter Tail County neighborhood. It focuses on the people rooted to these places through working the land, and who have deep ties to a place through past generations and the hope for future regeneration. He photographs with sensitivity and empathy, being a third-generation owner of a place-embedded family business.The book's landscape images and workplace portraits, made in places seldom seen or considered by most, contemplate the human experience of living and working on this land. It speaks of the labor that shaped our landscape and how the land in turn shapes the lives of those who work it.The people--the central subject of Working Land --make their voices heard through hand-drawn maps, diagrams and timelines produced in collaboration with Solinger. The book, made possible with an Arts and Cultural Heritage grant through the Lake Region Arts Council, also contains essays by others and an afterword and artist notes by Solinger.

There's More to Fishing (than Catching Fish) by Tom Alkire Pdf

Time spent catching fish is only the kernel of the fishing experience. Surrounding those moments is months of anticipation and years of memories. There's More To Fishing (Than Catching Fish) is about the friendships that grow with the fishing days, about getting to know a home water, traveling to distant waters, about the food and drink at fishing camp, about the workings of the natural world, about fishing as youngsters and as old-timers, about fishing nights in front of the fireplace, about the underlying romantic nature of fishermen and about how the act of fishing leads to the angler's infamous disregard for the truth.There's More To Fishing (Than Catching Fish) reveals to the angler and non-angler alike a natural world that functions according to its own timeless rhythms. It is world of wild western rivers, Florida salt flats, and salmon-choked Alaskan waters. It is a world of thunderstorms, whitewater driftboats and the poignant cycle of salmon returning to their natal waters. It is a world peopled by family, friends, liars and seers. It is a world seen through the eyes of a quizzical angler in search of fish and other mysteries of life. At once perceptive and humorous, it is a book from the heart that is not easily forgotten.

Broadway Boogie Woogie by D. Schwarz Pdf

While analyzing Damon Runyon's high spirited work in terms of historical contexts, popular culture, and of the changing function of the media, Schwarz argues that in his columns and stories Runyon was an indispensable figure in creating our public images of New York City culture, including our interest in the demi-monde and underworld that explains in part the success of The Godfather films and The Sopranos . In his lively and exuberant chapters that include a panoramic view of New York City between the World Wars - with a focus on its colourful nightlife - Schwarz examines virtually every facet of Runyon's career from sports writer, daily columnist, trial reporter, and Hollywood figure to the author of the still widely-read short stories that were the source of the Broadway hit Guys and Dolls . As part of his discussion of Runyon's art and the artistry of Runyon's fiction, Schwarz skilfully examines the special language of the Broadway stories known as 'Runyonese', and explains how 'Runyonese' has become an adjective for describing flamboyant behaviour.
