Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. Condizione sovraccoperta: Very Good. Photographs and drawings (illustratore). 1st Edition. It's been called the Progressive Era and "the Cocksure Era; a "man's world" and "decade of ups and downs." It was "memorable," "melodramatic" and distinctly American. It was the first decade of the Twentieth Century. How did America's most popular magazine, The Saturday Evening Post, view the decade of 1901 -1910? What the Post deemed "newsworthy" during that period is what apears in this volume; "newsworthy" in the literal sense, for the word "new" was constantly cropping up-new times, new events, new issues, new inventions, new styles. What sort of clothes did they wear? What types of jobs did the people hold? Did women pursue careers or husbands? How did parents deal with their children? and, What were the schools like? These questions and many others concerning everyday habits and happenings are answered in the "Daily Living" section. Ah, but what did they do when they weren't at work or at school or at home raising the children? As might be expected, Americans, even then, were busy making the most of their leisure. The moving picture was the newest form of entertainment and the county fair an old favorite; baseball was already the all-American sport. The "Leisure" section lets you experience all of these, along with a vacation to Palm Beach, a behind-the-scenes tour of a vaudeville theatre and a short and fast trip through the "Bump-the-Bumps" of Coney Island. For those whose tastes run to the purer forms of entertainment, "The Arts" offers a tantalizing cross section of intellectual fare: poetry by Stephen Crane, opera by Oscar Hammerstein, drama by Julia Marlowe and - a luxury of the period-a delightfully long fiction piece (actually one of the shorter ones!) by Jerome K. Jerome. Though not a Newsweek or Time. The Saturday Evening Post did do its share of editorializing in the early 1900s. Along the national and international lines, "The World" features topics ranging from campaigns to Carnegie to (of course) controversy. From the North Pole to the Panama Canal, the United States to Russia, presidents, czars, kings and millionaires play major roles in a decade of progress and problems, trusts and trends. And, indispensable when delving into any portion of America s past is a thorough discussion of "New Developments." Aeroplane, telephony, antitoxin, and wireless describe the strides taken in the scientific and medical worlds, while commentaries on the effects these discoveries have upon American lives and lifestyles serve as interesting sidelights. And for those who believe problems of our present decade are unique to our times; who wail that "things aren't like they used to be"; and pine for "the good ole days," there is an added feature. "The Times, They Are a-Changin'. Or Are They?" places modern problems in perspective, linking us to the lives and times of a period past. What is not here is a comprehensive history of America between the years 1901 and 1910, for the Post was then primarily a fiction magazine. What is here is a collection of articles on diverse topics, written by a diverse people: an actress, an ex-president, a famous editor, a humorist, musician, political cartoonist, clown, judge, senator, physician, socialite. And the best part is, this volume is the first of a series, to be followed by similar works for each decade of the 20th century. So, sit back, relax. Relive the past, or experience it for the first time. And reflect. . Bottom of spine bumped; slightly warped front cover. The rear of the dust jacket is faded. All orders shipped protected in a box.
