Food in the Gilded Age What Ordinary Americans Ate【電子書籍】[ Robert Dirks ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>The Gilded Age is renowned for a variety of reasons, including its culture of conspicuous consumption among the newly rich. In the domain of food, conspicuous consumption manifested itself in appetites for expensive dishes and lavish dinner parties. These received ample publicity at the time, resulting later on in well-developed historical depictions of upper-class eating habits.</p> <p>This book delves into the eating habits of people of lesser means. Concerning the African American community, the working class, the impoverished, immigrants, and others our historical representations have been relatively superficial. The author changes that by turning to the late nineteenth century’s infant science of nutrition for a look at eating and drinking through the lens of the earliest food consumption studies conducted in the United States. These were undertaken by scientists, mostly chemists, who left their laboratories to observe food consumption in kitchens, dining rooms, and various institutional settings. Their insistence on careful measurement resulted in a substantial body of detailed reports on the eating habits of ordinary people. This work sheds new light on what most Americans were cooking and eating during the Gilded Age.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

A Wonderful Career in Crime Charles Cowlam’s Masquerades in the Civil War Era and Gilded Age【電子書籍】[ Frank W. Garmon Jr. ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>Charles Cowlam’s career as a convict, spy, detective, congressional candidate, adventurer, and con artist spanned the Civil War, Reconstruction, and Gilded Age. His life touched many of the most prominent figures of the era, including Abraham Lincoln, Jefferson Davis, and Ulysses S. Grant. One contemporary newspaper reported that Cowlam “has as many <em>aliases</em> as there are letters in the alphabet.” He was a chameleon in a world of strangers, and scholars have overlooked him due to his elusive nature. His intrigues reveal how Americans built trust amid the transience and anonymity of the nineteenth century. The stories Cowlam told allowed him to blend in to new surroundings, where he quickly cultivated the connections needed to extract patronage from influential members of American society.</p> <p>Whereas historians of capitalism have uncovered the vulnerabilities of an economic system dependent upon trust and personal relationships, Cowlam’s life exposes the liabilities of a political system constructed on the same foundations. Rather than perpetrating frauds against average citizens, Cowlam reserved his most fantastic schemes for officials in the highest levels of government. He is the only person to receive presidential pardons from both Abraham Lincoln and Jefferson Davis during the Civil War. When the fighting ended, he conned his way into serving as a detective investigating Lincoln’s assassination, later parlaying that experience into positions with the Internal Revenue Service and the British government.</p> <p>Reconstruction offered additional opportunities for Cowlam to repackage his identity. He convinced Ulysses S. Grant to appoint him U.S. marshal and persuaded Republicans in Florida to allow him to run for Congress. After losing the election, Cowlam moved to New York, where he became a serial bigamist and started a fake secret society inspired by the burgeoning Granger movement. When the newspapers exposed his lies, he disappeared and spent the next decade living under an assumed name. He resurfaced in Dayton, Ohio, claiming to be a Union colonel suffering from dementia in an effort to gain admittance into the National Soldiers’ Home. In <em>A Wonderful Career in Crime,</em> Frank W. Garmon Jr. brings Cowlam’s stunning machinations to light for the first time.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

Standing on the Crack Legacy of Five Jewish Families from Seattle's Vibrant Gilded Age【電子書籍】[ Karen I. Treiger ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>Born out of grief after the loss of her father, the author dives into old photos and family histories to search for answers and comfort. Bringing her ancestors to life, the author shares the stories of five immigrant Jewish families who shape Seattle's early years, its retail culture and Seattle's gilded age. In this delightful book, Karen Treiger places herself in the long arc of history and invites the reader to join her time travel. The story telling is masterful as she describes the origin of each family who emigrated to the United States from central and eastern Europe between 1874 and 1913. It's full of tales, both funny and tragic, about ancestors that she knew and those that she didn't. Seattle grew from a small ramshackle town with dirt roads to a bustling metropolis with the Space Needle as our symbol. This book tells Seattle's history through the eyes of Jewish merchants who settled in the Pacific Northwest with hopes and dreams for themselves and especially their children. These families transformed Seattle's Jewish community and shaped Seattle's retail culture. The book both educates and entertains.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

Staten Island's Elliottville Abolitionist Enclave, Gilded Age Retreat, Ferry Suburb【電子書籍】[ James A. Kaser ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p><strong>The story of a 19th century Staten Island town that nurtured the careers of nationally significant reformers, abolitionists, and transcendentalists.</strong></p> <p>This book traces five decades of community life in a nineteenth-century Staten Island neighborhood informally called Elliottville, where extraordinary people lived. Its history illuminates the impact of transformative cultural, social, economic, and political change stemming from abolitionism, transcendentalism, the women's suffrage movement, and the rapid growth of the nation. Begun in 1839 as a therapeutic retreat, New Englanders with ties to Emerson settled there, forming a distinctive community. Their achievements in art, literature, and social reform attracted even more like-minded people, including Francis George Shaw, George William Curtis, Theodore Winthrop, Robert Gould Shaw, Helena de Kay Gilder, Charles de Kay, Anna Leonowens, and Maria "Midy" Morgan. Its vibrant intellectual life was threatened by an influx of Gilded Age men in the 1870s and destroyed when a freight rail line separated Elliottville from the Kill Van Kull. Drawing on a wealth of archival material and unique maps and illustrations, this book gives a vivid picture of how one small community could impact the country's intellectual and social development.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>This book is about the design of the facade of 51 of America's most extravagant early skyscrapers. Included are the biographies of noted architects and the aristocrats who financed America's first skyscrapers. This book discusses the influences of European aesthetic values in America--and scandals, rogues and class distinctions. Interpretations by contemporary critics are sprinkled throughout the text. Woven throughout the book are inquiries about the validity of Greek and Roman mythologies and their relationships to "modern" America and its spirit of invention and progress. Foreign traditions were challenged by some architects but then accepted by most. Why was it necessary for the long-dead hero of a faraway civilization to be included on the facade of a newly invented American skyscraper? This book tells why.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

Scoundrels in Law The Trials of Howe & Hummel, Lawyers to the Gangsters, Cops, Starlets, and Rakes Who Made the Gilded Age【電子書籍】[ Cait N. Murphy ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>From the critically acclaimed author of <em>Crazy '08</em> comes the thrilling true story of the most colorful and notorious law firm in American history. <em>Scoundrels in Law</em> offers an inside look at crime and punishment in the nineteenth century, and a whirlwind tour of the Gilded Age.</p> <p>Gangsters and con men. Spurned mistresses and wandering husbands. Strippers and Broadway royalty. Cat killers and spiritualists. These were the friends and clients of Howe & Hummel, the most famous (and famously rotten) law firm in nineteenth-century America.</p> <p>The partners gloried in their reputation and made a rich living from it. William Howe left London a step ahead of the law to find his destiny defending the perpetrators of murder and mayhem in post-Civil War New York, in an age of really good murders. A dramatic, diamond-encrusted presence, Howe was one of the great courtroom orators of his era, winning improbable acquittals time after time.</p> <p>Abraham Hummel enjoyed a quieter but perhaps more fearsome notoriety, shaking down high society so well and so often that receiving an envelope with the law firm's name on it became almost a rite of passage.</p> <p>The partners bestrode Gilded Age New York with wit and brio, and everyone from Theodore Roosevelt to Lola Montez had a part in their story. In Howe & Hummel's prime, it would not have been unusual to see a leading politician, a pickpocket, a Broadway star, a bank robber, and a socialite all crowded together into the waiting room of their offices, located conveniently across the street from the city jail.</p> <p>Howe and Hummel were not particularly good men. They were perfectly readyーeven eagerーto lie, cheat, and bribe on behalf of their clients. They did stop short of murder, though, a principle that played a critical role when the famous firm imploded in a truly spectacular web of deceit gone wrong.</p> <p>Through the windows of the dingy premises of Howe & Hummel, readers can glimpse the Gilded Age in all its grime and grandeur. Cait Murphy restores this once-famous duo to their rightful place in the pantheon of great American characters.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

China's Gilded Age The Paradox of Economic Boom and Vast Corruption【電子書籍】[ Yuen Yuen Ang ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>Why has China grown so fast for so long despite vast corruption? In China's Gilded Age, Yuen Yuen Ang maintains that all corruption is harmful, but not all types of corruption hurt growth. Ang unbundles corruption into four varieties: petty theft, grand theft, speed money, and access money. While the first three types impede growth, access money - elite exchanges of power and profit - cuts both ways: it stimulates investment and growth but produces serious risks for the economy and political system. Since market opening, corruption in China has evolved toward access money. Using a range of data sources, the author explains the evolution of Chinese corruption, how it differs from the West and other developing countries, and how Xi's anti-corruption campaign could affect growth and governance. In this formidable yet accessible book, Ang challenges one-dimensional measures of corruption. By unbundling the problem and adopting a comparative-historical lens, she reveals that the rise of capitalism was not accompanied by the eradication of corruption, but rather by its evolution from thuggery and theft to access money. In doing so, she changes the way we think about corruption and capitalism, not only in China but around the world.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

|
<p>"The Gilded Age" is a satirical novel that takes a critical look at the social, political, and economic issues of the United States during the late 19th century, particularly during the Reconstruction Era following the American Civil War.

John Shaw Billings: Science and Medicine in the Gilded Age Science and Medicine in the Gilded Age【電子書籍】[ James H. Cassedy ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>Much has been written about John Shaw Billings=s (1838-1913) role in the founding and development of two great American libraries, the Army Medical Library and the New York Public Library, to the neglect of other aspects of his career. Billings=s role as a physician was many-faceted. Beginning his medical career as an Army surgeon during the Civil War, during the next 30 years he added to his medical skills those of scientist, administrator, and planner, builder, and organizer of several important medical and public health activities and institutions. This book explores Billings as a leader of the Amedical revolution@ and the public health movement of the late 19th century. It emphasizes the part he played as a link between the growing federal government=s presence in health policy and scientific activity and the world of private medicine and local public health.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

Arsenic and Clam Chowder Murder in Gilded Age New York【電子書籍】[ James D. Livingston ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p><strong>Recounts the sensational 1896 murder trial of Mary Alice Livingston, who was accused of murdering her mother with an arsenic-laced pail of clam chowder and faced the possibility of becoming the first woman to be executed in New York's new-fangled electric chair.</strong></p> <p><em>Arsenic and Clam Chowder</em> recounts the sensational 1896 murder trial of Mary Alice Livingston, a member of one of the most prestigious families in New York, who was accused of murdering her own mother, Evelina Bliss. The bizarre instrument of death, an arsenic-laced pail of clam chowder, had been delivered to the victim by her ten-year-old granddaughter, and Livingston was arrested in her mourning clothes immediately after attending her mother's funeral. In addition to being the mother of four out-of-wedlock children, the last born in prison while she was awaiting trial, Livingston faced the possibility of being the first woman to be executed in New York's new-fangled electric chair, and all these lurid details made her arrest and trial the central focus of an all-out circulation war then underway between Joseph Pulitzer's <em>World</em> and Randolph Hearst's <em>Journal</em>.</p> <p>The story is set against the electric backdrop of Gilded Age Manhattan. The arrival of skyscrapers, automobiles, motion pictures, and other modern marvels in the 1890s was transforming urban life with breathtaking speed, just as the battles of reformers against vice, police corruption, and Tammany Hall were transforming the city's political life. The aspiring politician Teddy Roosevelt, the prolific inventor Thomas Edison, bon vivant Diamond Jim Brady, and his companion Lillian Russell were among Gotham's larger-than-life personalities, and they all played cameo roles in the dramatic story of Mary Alice Livingston and her arsenic-laced clam chowder. In addition to telling a ripping good story, the book addresses a number of social and legal issues, among them capital punishment, equal rights for women, societal sexual standards, inheritance laws in regard to murder, gender bias of juries, and the meaning of "beyond a reasonable doubt."</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

The Custom of the Country A Tale of Ambition, Society, and Moral Decay in Gilded Age America【電子書籍】[ Edith Wharton ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>Edith Wharton's "The Custom of the Country" is a masterful exploration of the interplay between ambition, societal norms, and the complexities of personal discontent within early 20th-century American society. Written in a rich, incisive prose style, the novel follows the ambitious Undine Spragg, a new-money social climber who navigates the upper echelons of New York society with ruthless determination. Wharton's acute social commentary illuminates the moral vacuity and materialism of the Gilded Age, revealing the ways in which the characters' desires are often thwarted by the very customs they seek to manipulate. The narrative is imbued with irony and wit, as Wharton unflinchingly dissects her characters' motivations against the backdrop of a rapidly changing America that grapples with issues of class and identity. Edith Wharton, a pioneer of American literature, was intimately familiar with the intricacies of high society, having been raised in a prominent New York family. Her keen observations of the privileged class, combined with her own experiences of expatriation in Europe, profoundly shaped her understanding of societal conventions, which she critiques throughout her oeuvre. "The Custom of the Country," published in 1913, reflects Wharton'??s disillusionment with American values and her dedication to exploring the ramifications of unchecked ambition and social aspiration. This novel is highly recommended for readers interested in a nuanced critique of societal expectations and the American Dream. Wharton's brilliant characterizations and biting social commentary make it a timeless examination of ambition's costs, encouraging readers to reflect on the moral responsibilities that accompany success. "The Custom of the Country" is a compelling read for anyone seeking insight into the complexities of human nature and the societal dictates that shape our lives.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

<p>In "A Hazard of New Fortunes '?? Complete," William Dean Howells delves into the tumultuous landscape of late 19th-century America, weaving a rich tapestry of social commentary and character study. The novel presents a nuanced exploration of the challenges faced by new immigrants and the burgeoning middle class, framed within the context of the cultural and economic shifts of the post-Civil War era. Howells employs a naturalistic literary style, characterized by detailed realism and an interest in moral ambiguity, which serves to illuminate the intricacies of human relationships against the backdrop of a rapidly changing society. The text is laced with irony and wit, showcasing how personal ambitions often collide with societal expectations, making it both an engaging and thought-provoking read. William Dean Howells, often heralded as the "Dean of American Letters," was a prominent literary figure of his time, known for advocating realism in literature, which can be seen as a reaction against the romanticism that preceded it. His experiences as an editor, critic, and social observer deeply informed his worldview, allowing him to comment insightfully on the complexities of American life. His meticulous attention to social detail in this novel reflects his belief in the importance of literature as a mirror to society. Readers seeking a profound understanding of American identity and the trials of personal ambition will find "A Hazard of New Fortunes" an essential addition to their literary repertoire.

<p><strong>The Billionaire Raj: A Journey Through India's New Gilded Age by James Crabtree | Conversation Starters</strong></p> <p>Author James Crabtree paints a colorful portrait of the rise of the new billionaire class in India despite its radically unequal society.

In The Billionaire Raj, James Crabtree brings the readers on a journey to meet the billionaires, tycoons, and the political power brokers.</p> <p>Tunku Varadarajan for The Wall Street Journal writes that Crabtree’s book is “lively and valuable blend of the empirical and the anecdotal.” The Economist says that Crabtree “show[s] how India’s political system and its firms are symbiotically connected, in an entertainingーand sometimes disturbingーfashion.” Jonathan A. Knee for The New York Times says that The Billionaire Raj is “a nuanced portrait.”</p> <p><strong>A Brief Look Inside:</strong></p> <p>EVERY GOOD BOOK CONTAINS A WORLD FAR DEEPER<br /> than the surface of its pages.

New York’s Scoundrels, Scalawags, and Scrappers The City in the Last Decade of the Gilded Age【電子書籍】[ John Tauranac ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>The 1890s was the tail end of the Gilded Age. It was not a “Golden Age,” it was a veneer, and although the decade is specifically called “The Gay Nineties,” the gaiety was generally reserved for the top ten percenters. If you were a common working stiffーor worse, a common working “stiffette”ーlife was not so gay. Most New Yorkers played by the rules of the game, although some fudged a bit. Others, along with the managements of some businesses and some administrations of the municipality, played by totally different rules, successfully gaming the system to their advantage. The few who fought for truth and justice generally went down fighting. These are New York’s scoundrels, scalawags, and scrappers.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。
