Sinopsis

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.

    A new edition of the first book in the acclaimed Pop Classics series The Worst. Movie. Ever. is a masterpiece. Seriously. Enough time has passed since Showgirls flopped spectacularly that it’s time for a good hard look back at the sequined spectacle. A salvage operation on a very public, very expensive train wreck, It Doesn’t Suck argues that Showgirls is much smarter and deeper than it is given credit for. In an accessible and entertaining voice, the book encourages a shift in critical perspective on Paul Verhoeven’s Showgirls, analyzing the film, its reception, and rehabilitation. This in-depth study of a much-reviled movie is a must-read for lovers and haters of the 1995 Razzie winner for Worst Picture. This expanded edition includes an exclusive interview between the author and Showgirls director Paul Verhoeven, as well as a new preface.

    R.E.M.'s debut album, released in 1983, was so far removed from the prevailing trends of American popular music that it still sounds miraculous and out of time today. J. Niimi tells the story of the album's genesis - with fascinating input from Don Dixon and Mitch Easter. He also investigates Michael Stipe's hypnotic, mysterious lyrics, and makes the case for Murmur as a work of Southern Gothic art.

    Barnaby Rudge is a historical novel by British novelist Charles Dickens. Barnaby Rudge was one of two novels (the other was The Old Curiosity Shop) Dickens published in his short-lived (1840–1841) weekly serial Master Humphrey's Clock. This book is largely set during the Gordon Riots of 1780. Barnaby Rudge was the fifth of Dickens' novels to be published. It had initially been planned to appear as his first, but changes of publisher led to many delays, and it first appeared in serial form in the Clock from February to November 1841. This was Dickens' first historical novel.
