Beschreibung

Zipper Fastening Revolution unveils the surprising history of the zipper, a seemingly simple fastening technology that profoundly impacted fashion, industry, and society. Far from being a straightforward invention, the zipper's journey involved overcoming significant technological hurdles and navigating complex social and economic landscapes. For instance, early versions of the zipper, known as "hookless fasteners," were unreliable and required considerable refinement before gaining widespread acceptance. The book explores how the zipper's success stemmed from strategic marketing alongside its practical advantages. 

 
The narrative progresses chronologically, starting with pre-zipper fastening methods and then moves through early prototypes developed by inventors like Whitcomb Judson and Gideon Sundback. Later chapters analyze the zipper's integration into mainstream fashion and its diverse applications, illustrating how this invention reshaped clothing design and mass production. By examining patent documents, advertisements, and firsthand accounts, Zipper Fastening Revolution provides a comprehensive look at this transformative technology. The book uniquely balances technical analysis with cultural insights, demonstrating how a simple device became an integral part of our daily lives.

    Written by Arthur Quinn 
    Read by Ed Quinn (with an introduction written and read by Julia Whelan) 
    The final book from esteemed Berkeley historian Arthur Quinn, Hell With the Fire Out is both a complex chronicle of a forgotten chapter in American Indian history and a vivid detailing of human foible, folly, and failure. With a novelistic flair, Quinn outlines the sad inevitability of America's westward expansion in its post-Civil War era. Wrangling all the inherent contradictions — Quaker Peace Policy vs Grant and Sherman's War Department; inter- and inner-tribal conflicts; the opposing attitudes of the region's White settlers — Quinn gives us a battle story not merely between nations and governments, but within the hearts of the very individuals at its center. 
    This is the first time an audio version of this book has been available and it is read by none other than the author's son, actor Ed Quinn (Two Broke Girls, One Day at a Time, Tyler Perry's The Oval).
