Sinopse

Flash Mob Craze explores the evolution of flash mobs, from their beginnings as internet-fueled pranks to their establishment as a form of performance art and social activism. The book examines how these spontaneous gatherings in urban spaces, often coordinated through social media, have become a unique blend of collective behavior and public art. One intriguing aspect is how quickly corporations adopted flash mobs for viral marketing, blurring the line between genuine expression and commercial promotion. Another insight is the way flash mobs challenge established social norms and transform public spaces into temporary stages for choreographed expression.

 
The book approaches the topic by tracing the origins, commercialization, and artistic merit of flash mobs. It analyzes how early participants used nascent social media platforms to organize events, and how activist groups harnessed the flash mob format to promote their messages. The study also considers the choreographic complexity and thematic resonance of flash mobs as performance art.

 
The book progresses by first examining the genesis of flash mobs, then dedicating later chapters to analyzing their commercialization and politicization, and concluding with an assessment of their legacy.

 
This book is valuable because it provides a balanced perspective on the phenomenon, avoiding romanticization while offering insights into the dynamics of online communities and the changing nature of public space. It delves into the intersection of technology, social behavior, and artistic expression, revealing how ordinary individuals can use readily available tools to create ephemeral spectacles.

Thucydides - A Very Short...

Jennifer T. Roberts

In 432 BCE the powerful city-state of Sparta on the peninsula of the Peloponnesus in southwestern Greece declared war on Athens, head of a mighty naval coalition. The war would last until Sparta finally brought Athens to its knees in 404. The Athenian aristocrat Thucydides, suspecting the magnitude of the conflict that was unfolding before his eyes, at once undertook to record its history, exploring the causes and course of the war in the context of his great interest: human nature. An introduction to Thucydides's thought and background, this book examines Thucydides's account of the war in the context both of the international situation in the classical Greek world and of the intellectual traditions of the fifth century BCE, exploring the historian's connection to prose writers like Herodotus as well as poets like Homer and the tragedians, and investigating the complex dynamics of the war that changed the Greek world forever.

Great Railroad Strike of 1877...

Editors Charles River

When trains were introduced as a popular means of transportation, some of the first tracks laid terminated in New York, and the expansion of railroads led to the birth of train stations across the country. In general, these were small buildings where passenger could buy tickets and wait for their trains to arrive, and according an article written by Samuel Dunn around the turn of the 20th century, “The first Manhattan terminal was opened in 1832 at Centre Street, near the present City Hall, by the New York and Harlem road, now leased to the New York Central. Trains were run by steam as far south as Fourteenth Street and pulled from there by horses.” If it is hard to conceive of large box cars or even heavier locomotives being pulled by horse, it’s important to remember that the first train cars were little more than traditional carriages designed to move on iron tracks.  
	Initially, the nation’s railway system was a fragmented, often chaotic system, but Cornelius Vanderbilt went about creating an interregional system, integrating a network of smaller railroads that ran according to their own policies, procedures, and even timetables. It was not only more customer-friendly, but it helped lower shipping costs and created a more efficient system of transporting goods and people. This led to the creation of one of the nation’s first corporations, the New York Central and Hudson Railroad.  
	While companies competed with each other, the employees themselves were often squeezed, not only working long hours in hazardous conditions, but making pitiful pay. Put simply, in an age before widespread labor regulations were enacted and unions organized, the employers exercised nearly absolute power over employees.
