Summary

Hair Clip Secures explores the surprisingly rich history of hair clips, framing them as artifacts that reflect significant shifts in society, technology, and design. From early handcrafted versions to mass-produced accessories, the book investigates how these small objects mirror broader historical trends and cultural values. The evolution of hair clips reveals changes in manufacturing, from artisanal methods to industrial production, and highlights the impact of materials like celluloid and plastics. The book also emphasizes the hair clip's connection to women's history, showing how evolving hairstyles and accessories reflect changing gender roles and increasing social freedom. As women entered the workforce, the demand for functional yet fashionable hair accessories grew, turning the hair clip into a symbol of independence. By examining advertisements, patents, and oral histories, the book uncovers the cultural significance of these everyday objects. Structured in three parts, Hair Clip Secures begins with the origins of hair clips around 1900, then explores the impact of mass production and industrial design, and finally analyzes their role in contemporary fashion. This approach, blending design history, social history, and material culture, provides a unique lens for understanding the intersection of design, society, and everyday life.

    Andrew Carnegie's "The Gospel of Wealth," published in 1889, presents his philosophy on philanthropy and how wealth should be managed by the rich. It became a seminal text on philanthropy, influencing many wealthy individuals to consider how their money could benefit society rather than just accumulating for its own sake. However, Carnegie's views also received criticism for promoting a form of paternalism and for not addressing the root causes of poverty or the structural inequalities in society. 
"The New Gospel of Wealth" includes thoughts on modernizing the text via a 2019 essay by Frank Marcopolos, written while occupied as an envoy of Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh. 
Frank Marcopolos now lives in Florida with his dog, Sparky.

    Read by the author.  
Hearing from God is extraordinary. But the circumstances He uses to reveal Himself may be more ordinary than we think.Neighbors and Wise Menintroduces captivating dialogues and unexpected moments with God that go beyond the confines of a conventional religious system and offer the chance for powerful life transformation.Get to know Tony Kriz (known by many as "Tony the Beat Poet" in Donald Miller's best-selling book Blue Like Jazz) through his real-life conversations and experiences that prove that God can and will use anyone and anything— from Muslim lands to antireligious academics to post-Christian cultures—to make Himself known.Through his own prodigal-son backstory and return to faith, Tony presents biblical truth in a conversational, but bold light that offers readers the courage to open their eyes to the unlikely encounters that are all around us every day; chance run-ins that turn out to be anything but chance.Have we limited God's ability to speak in our world today? Have we relegated God's creative voice to the select persons who share our particular religious system? Kriz himself felt like he was falling out of faith until non-Christians encouraged him to "fall toward Christ."
