Trade Paperback. Condizione: Fine. Assumed First Editiion. 175 Pages Indexed. Large (9 ¼ by 12) blue covers with flaps. Remember LPs? They were made of old-fashioned black vinyl, with music recorded on both sides. They were protected by paper sleeves and card- board jackets, but no matter how carefully they were handled, they go…t scratched. is responsible for most of the changes in everyday life. Typewriters are an obvious victim of computerization, but the silicon chip has killed off slide rules and imperils bank checks as well. Scientific research has routed polio scares and cavities but also has doomed the smell of burning leaves. The swiftness of telecommunications has fostered the illusion that time has speeded up. Why send a telegram when a fax arrives faster? Why take ten seconds to dial when you can punch in a number in half the time? The incessant demands of work and play compete for our attention; we feel there are more things to do and fewer hours to do them in. This altered perception of time has transformed significant aspects of family life from the demise of dining rooms to the passing of doctors' house calls. The evolving role of women has far-reaching social consequences. On the broadest scale, the women's movement is both a cause and an effect of changes in the nuclear family; it has also done away with mending, taboos about menopause, and the exclusivity of men's clubs. Women's assertiveness has overturned some venerated rules in the world of fashion. The navy blue suit was the spring uniform until freedom of expression encouraged women to desert the standard of fashion propriety; the disappearance of white cotton gloves marked the devaluation of "ladylike" as an ideal; nylon stockings were replaced when women redefined convenience and their own comfort. As the list of subjects for this book expanded, we developed ground rules. We rejected Pet Rocks, propeller beanies, and Hula-Hoops-fads that were created to be ephemeral. We eliminated objects that vanished too early in the century; razor strops and running boards on cars are barely part of the collective memory of most Americans. We dropped things that seemed too similar in function to their replacement: wooden tennis rackets, wooden skis with leather bindings, leather subway straps, Checker cabs.
