Sinopsis

1001 Afternoons in Chicago were launched in June, 1921. They were presented to the public as journalism extraordinary; journalism that invaded the realm of literature, where in large part, journalism really dwells. They went out backed by confidence in the genius of Ben Hecht. The sketches themselves reveal Hecht's literary powers and creative delight in them; they ring with the happiness of a spirit at last free to tell what it feels; they teem with thought and impressions long treasured; they are a recital of songs echoing the voices of Ben's own city and performed with a virtuosity granted to him alone. They announced to a Chicago audience which only half understood them, the arrival of a prodigy whose precise significance is still unmeasured.

    When Willard M. Kiplinger launched the groundbreaking Kiplinger Washington Letter in 1923, he left the sidelines of traditional journalism to strike out on his own. With a specialized knowledge of finance and close connections to top Washington officials, Kiplinger was uniquely positioned to tell deeper truths about the intersections between government and business. With careful reporting and insider access, he delivered perceptive analysis and forecasts of business, economic, and political news to busy business executives, and the newsletter's readership grew exponentially over the coming decades. 
     
     
     
    More than just a pioneering business journalist, Kiplinger emerged as a quiet but powerful link between the worlds of Presidents Hoover and Roosevelt, and used his Letter to play a little-known but influential role in the New Deal. Part journalism history, part biography, and part democratic chronicle, The Insider offers a well-written and deeply researched portrayal of how Kiplinger not only developed a widely read newsletter that launched a business publishing empire but also how he forged a new role for the journalist as political actor.

    Thomas Alva Edison, called "America's biggest developer," was an American inventor and businessperson. In disciplines consisting of electrical power generation, mass communication, sound recording, and movie, he developed many devices. 
    The phonograph, movie electronic camera, and early variations of the electrical light bulb are amongst the developments that have had a substantial influence on the modern-day developed world. Dealing with a great deal of scientists and staff, he was just one of the first developers to use the ideas of organized science and cooperation to the process of development. He was the first to establish a commercial lab. 
    Edison was born in the American Midwest and worked as a telegraph operator early in his profession, which motivated numerous of his earlier developments. 
    In the year 1876, he opened his first lab in Menlo Park, New Jersey, where he worked on numerous of his early developments. In collaboration with capitalists Henry Ford and Harvey S. Firestone, he later built a botanical lab in Fort Myers, Florida, and a lab in West Orange, New Jersey, which housed the world's first movie studio, the Black Maria. He was a respected innovator, with 1,093 U.S. patents and patents in other nations to his name. Edison had 6 kids from 2 marital relationships. In the year 1931, he passed away of diabetes issues. 
    In this book, you will learn more about his inventions, his personal life, and the society in which he lived.

    "When I tell you that beauty is a monster, I need you to know it is my favorite kind." 
    So begins Arabelle Sicardi’s blazingly original collection of essays. A former beauty editor, Arabelle has devoted their entire adult life to the subject of beauty―they have analyzed it, criticized it, praised it, benefited from it, loathed it. Now, in The House of Beauty, they get to the contradictions at the heart of it: beauty and horror, two sides of the same coin. 
     
    With their signature blend of intellectual rigor and poetic sensibility, Arabelle explores how beauty myths are crafted, sold, and weaponized, from corporate boardrooms to your local nail salon. Follow alongside Arabelle as they trace the global trail of the shimmering mica in your beauty products, choose-your-own-adventure-style, or journey into the past to unearth the sinister connection between fragrance and fascism. Bear witness as they visit a tech convention focused on the next horrifying frontier of body modification, or as they ask what's at stake in the braids we weave in our hair. Sharp yet tender in their observations, Arabelle challenges listeners to reconsider beauty as more than a product of consumption, inviting a vision of beauty rooted in community and self-care, one that transcends industry-driven ideals.

    P. T. Barnum, best-known for his own use of hoaxes in his popular Barnum & Bailey Circus, found that the use of hoaxes was acceptable when the audience was getting the entertainment they paid for. When it came to religious hoaxes, fraud, and swindling, Barnum was avidly against it. He even went so far as to offer $500 to any medium who could prove that they actually could reach the dead. In this exposé of humbugs and the scams they perpetuate, he goes after religious quacks, witches and sorcerers, and other forms of frauds in all walks of life. He discusses some of the most notable scams of the time and reveals the perpetrators as humbugs. In addition to scams, he also discusses business affairs and his own opinions of the current events of his time.
