Summary

"Umbrella Weather Shield" explores the fascinating history of the umbrella, tracing its journey from a symbol of power and prestige to a commonplace weather shield. The book examines how the umbrella's design evolved over centuries, adapting to changing weather conditions and aesthetic tastes. Initially, parasols signified status in ancient civilizations, but the Industrial Revolution democratized their production, making them accessible to the masses. The book delves into the umbrella's societal roles and cultural symbolism, revealing how its design and usage reflect evolving social structures and cultural values. For example, regional variations in design and materials showcase diverse cultural influences.

 
The narrative progresses chronologically, beginning with early sunshades, moving through the umbrella's adoption in various cultures, and culminating in an analysis of its contemporary role in fashion and art. Through a design-centric lens, the book emphasizes the practical and aesthetic considerations that have shaped the umbrella's form and function. By drawing from historical texts, museum collections, and design archives, "Umbrella Weather Shield" presents a comprehensive account of the umbrella's aesthetic and functional evolution, making it a valuable resource for design enthusiasts and history buffs alike.

    Connecticut radio stations and their charismatic disc jockeys played an integral role in the history of rock 'n' roll. They served as a vital connection between the music and their audience, providing listeners the one vehicle they most needed—a format for them to listen to their favorite songs. Learn about such memorable moments as the fierce rivalry between WDRC and WPOP, the zany antics of Joey Reynolds, and the on-air "death" of Lee "Baby" Simms. WPLR emerged as a "town hall meeting held in a frat house," and colorful skits filled the airwaves. With in-depth interviews and timeless photos, author Tony Renzoni captures the spirit of the vibrant music scene and traces the important and influential role of past and present on-air personalities.

During a time when America was reeling from turmoil, Hollywood held an indelible mirror up to a changing society. Films like Bonnie and Clyde, The Graduate, Cool Hand Luke, and In the Heat of the Night would define the era. But it was a gritty, violent, darkly comic World War II movie called The Dirty Dozen that would really strike a chord with audiences—and become the year's biggest box office success. Heading up the all-star cast were Lee Marvin, Ernest Borgnine, John Cassavettes, Charles Bronson, Donald Sutherland, Jim Brown, Robert Ryan, Clint Walker, and at his most terrifying best, Telly Savalas, propelling many of them to stardom.

    Hollywood is an industry and an institution. Like other industries, the film business has chains of production and distribution that can be comparatively analyzed. Its creation of jobs and income, its role in generating tax revenues and exports, and its concerns about intellectual property protection, can be compared with that of other industries.But Hollywood is an industry with a difference. It is a key contributor to American and global popular culture. The film industry is a cultural industry. It packages and sells the collective dreams and aspirations of its audiences. Hollywood’s cultural products put a particular spin on what it means to be male or female, straight or gay, or white or black in the United States.
