The images trace not only the changing trends but also the evolution in their marketing and audience, as fashion was adopted into popular culture and the mass market, decade by decade. In menswear, ready-made suits signaled the demise of bespoke tailoring, long before Hawaiian shirts or skinny jeans entered the game.Ģ0th-Century Fashion offers a retrospective of the last hundred years of style via 400 fashion advertisements from the Jim Heimann Collection.

Much of that is thanks to the Walt Disney Company, whose family-friendly retellings of classic tales like Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, and Snow Whiteare careful to remove the darker and more problematic elements from the stories, sanitizing them to the point where many modern viewers are most likely completely unaware of the popular films’ complicated – and often shocking – roots.įairy tales are also often associated specifically with women, thanks in no large part to Disney’s equally relentless push to turn the stories of heroines like Belle and Aurora into aspirational roadmaps for the wedding industrial complex.

It may be seen as an “escape” – but look at what Judy Blume was eventually able to do with such childiish “daydreaming”. She “makes up stories” – which is really just another word for “daydreaming” – but it’s how Sally negotiates life. (Also, there are hints of adult unhappiness on the fringes of this book – Sally absorbs her parents troubles, etc.) But Sally has this whole secret LIFE going on – to combat her anxiety. Freedman and her family move to Miami Beach – Sally is in the 5th grade, I believe, and she’s worried about making friends. The book takes place in the late 1940s – after WWII – Sally J.

Revealing how we arrived at the current crisis, Perry Mehrling traces the evolution of ideas and institutions in the American banking system since the establishment of the Federal Reserve in 1913. The New Lombard Street lays out the innovative principles needed to address the instability of today’s markets and to rebuild our financial system. Bagehot’s book set down the principles that helped define the role of modern central banks, particularly in times of crisis-but the recent global financial meltdown has posed unforeseen challenges. Walter Bagehot’s Lombard Street, published in 1873 in the wake of a devastating London bank collapse, explained in clear and straightforward terms why central banks must serve as the lender of last resort to ensure liquidity in a faltering credit system. ![]() ![]() ![]() In 1963, she married architect Thomas Moore Wells, with whom she has two daughters, and in 1968, she published her first book, an illustrated version of Gilbert and Sullivan’s A Song to Sing, O!.

First, Adams’ unwillingness to stand behind any of the views he presents feels like a cop-out–one wonders if he wrote the book, saw the obvious flaws in his (the old man’s) arguments, and then decided to publish it anyway with the disclaimer. I have a couple problems with this approach. The old man is presented as an oracle (of sorts), and the delivery man is there mainly to keep him talking.Īdams disavows the beliefs presented in God’s Debris, stating that the “thought experiment” is to discover where the old man goes wrong–where his beliefs make leaps that defy logic. The two have a long conversation that covers physics, metaphysics, God’s will, free will, religion, evolution, extra-sensory perception, and motivational psychology (not to mention the kitchen sink). In God’s Debris, Dilbert-creator Scott Adams lays out what he calls a “thought experiment.” Adams frames the meat of his book–a long conversation–in a meager plotline: A delivery man comes to a house one day, gets no response to his knock, steps inside, and is greeted by an old man. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Leonardo, a small greenish-beige creature with tiny horns blue eyes and pink nose, hands, and feet, first appears in a lower right-hand corner looking dejected, but when he makes his momentous decision, his circular head fills two pages.
