Synopsis

In "Manners for the Metropolis: An Entrance Key to the Fantastic Life of the 400," Frank Crowninshield presents a keenly observed and intricately detailed exploration of the social dynamics and etiquette of New York's high society during the early twentieth century. This work, characterized by its witty prose and astute insights, encapsulates the ostentation and complexities of the elite, offering readers a guide to the nuanced behaviors and customs that define the upper echelon. Crowninshield's literary style deftly combines social commentary with an engaging narrative, making it both an informative resource and a captivating read within the context of American social history. Crowninshield, a prominent editor and cultural arbiter during the Gilded Age, was well-acquainted with the intricacies of the social scene he depicts. His work as editor of Vanity Fair endowed him with a unique perspective on the lives of America's upper crust, informally termed "the 400." This intimate understanding enabled him to criticize and celebrate the social practices of the time, providing a rich backdrop for his examination of manners and societal norms. This book is highly recommended for readers interested in the interplay of class, culture, and social etiquette, as well as those intrigued by a historical lens on contemporary societal behaviors. Crowninshield's exploration serves as both a mirror and a critique of the time, making it essential reading for scholars, historians, and anyone fascinated by the art of social navigation.

    This is a guide for instructing posthumans in living a Dada life. It is not advisable, nor was it ever, to lead a Dada life."—The Posthuman Dada GuideThe Posthuman Dada Guide is an impractical handbook for practical living in our posthuman world—all by way of examining the imagined 1916 chess game between Tristan Tzara, the daddy of Dada, and V. I. Lenin, the daddy of communism. This epic game at Zurich's Café de la Terrasse—a battle between radical visions of art and ideological revolution—lasted for a century and may still be going on, although communism appears dead and Dada stronger than ever. As the poet faces the future mass murderer over the chessboard, neither realizes that they are playing for the world. Taking the match as metaphor for two poles of twentieth- and twenty-first-century thought, politics, and life, Andrei Codrescu has created his own brilliantly Dadaesque guide to Dada—and to what it can teach us about surviving our ultraconnected present and future. Here dadaists Duchamp, Ball, and von Freytag-Loringhoven and communists Trotsky, Radek, and Zinoviev appear live in company with later incarnations, including William Burroughs, Allen Ginsberg, Gilles Deleuze, and Newt Gingrich. The Posthuman Dada Guide is arranged alphabetically for quick reference and (some) nostalgia for order, with entries such as "eros (women)," "internet(s)," and "war." Throughout, it is written in the belief "that posthumans lining the road to the future (which looks as if it exists, after all, even though Dada is against it) need the solace offered by the primal raw energy of Dada and its inhuman sources.

    The Book of Revelation is the final book of the New Testament (and consequently the final book of the Christian Bible). Its title is derived from the first word of the Koine Greek text: apokalypsis, meaning "unveiling" or "revelation". The Book of Revelation is the only apocalyptic book in the New Testament canon. It occupies a central place in Christian eschatology.

    Topic 1: The ancient Ninjas in Japan have fueled stories, movies, books and other media to go on and on about the sneaky assassins that terrorized their country. Today, you and I will go in-depth into this topic and find out more about the truth.

    The most important facts about the Japanese ninjas. 
    Shaolin monks and Japanese pirates. 
    Feudalism compared with European knights.
