Sinopsis

Homemaker Skills Wane explores the documented decrease in female domestic expertise in the United States since 1960, a period marked by significant shifts in social and economic landscapes. This decline isn't merely a change in preferences but a complex product of economic pressures, evolving gender roles, and the increasing trend of outsourcing domestic labor. Historically, society valued female domestic competence, impacting women's education and social standing.

The study uses household surveys to examine the evolution of skills like cooking, sewing, and childcare, revealing how the rise of the female labor force and consumer culture has reshaped domestic life. The book investigates various factors contributing to this trend, including the increased participation of women in the workforce and the availability of convenience goods and services. It also examines social and cultural shifts, such as evolving gender roles and a decreasing emphasis on domestic education.

By analyzing quantitative data from household surveys and incorporating qualitative insights, the book provides an unbiased, data-driven analysis of these social and economic trends. The book progresses by establishing a baseline of homemaking skills in 1960 and then analyzing economic, social, and technological factors influencing their decline.

The comprehensive analysis in Homemaker Skills Wane provides valuable insights for academics, policymakers, and general readers interested in history, social science, and the changing roles of women. Understanding this decline challenges simplistic narratives about progress and offers a deeper examination of the trade-offs in modern life, making it a valuable contribution to understanding social history and family dynamics.

The Iliad by Homer

Homer

Two major epic poems came from ancient Greece and had the power to shape our culture for centuries. They are both attributed to the blind poet Homer, and are called Iliad and Odyssey. The Iliad tells the epic story of the war of Troy and its ten-year siege, bloody battles and great heroes. The mighty warrior Achilles, whose mother held him by the heel while immerging him in the river Styx to make him invulnerable, his brave companion Patroclus, kings and gods compete alike for the glory of ancient Greece, which is still resonating today. The Iliad and its sequel, the Odyssey, are the oldest extant works of Western literature. They are of tremendous cultural importance, and their magic is still strongly alive.

Ardennes - The Secret War

Charles Whiting

On the morning of 16 December 1944, a monumental German force of six hundred thousand men crashed into the Allied lines in the snowbound hills of the Belgian Ardennes. Why were Allied forces so surprised by this counterattack? And why have the German sabotage and deception operations that disrupted supply lines and outwitted Allied intelligence been so overlooked by historians? 
 
 
 
Through interviews with three key German officers undertaken shortly after the end of the war, Charles Whiting examines the Battle of the Bulge from a new perspective. Hermann Giskes, a German Army counterintelligence officer, sheds light on his activities directing spies and saboteurs. Paratrooper Freiherr von der Heydte tells how his men were blown over great distances but managed to engage and tie down thousands of Allied troops who thought Nazi paratroopers were landing everywhere. And SS commando leader Otto Skorzeny recounts how he led a handful of special forces, wearing US uniforms and driving US equipment, behind enemy lines to wreak havoc. 
 
 
 
Ardennes: The Secret War exposes the weaknesses of Allied intelligence and shows how, even when it seemed that the war would be over by Christmas, the Germans nearly turned defeat into victory.
