"They come at you at five hundred miles per hour. That's how it starts..." Near the end of a long spring tourist season, an exhausted Jack Cort meets his next group for four jam-packed days in the Big Apple. Hoping this "combo" of visitors from Seattle and rural Georgia will be like any other, he watches with panic as the trip rapidly spins out of control. From hostility in Little Italy and a miscommunication at Grand Central to a disturbing discovery in Times Square and physical blows in a downtown cemetery, Jack will come to learn that the baggage these people brought from home wasn't limited to what they packed. From the award-winning author of Suspension, comes a wholly original comic novel. Join these 35 sightseers on the bustling sidewalks of New York City as they try their best to meet the challenge of our modern world-interacting constantly, and much too quickly, with people they only partially understand.

Amusement parks were the playgrounds of the working class in the early twentieth century, combining numerous, mechanically-based spectacles into one unique, modern cultural phenomenon. Lauren Rabinovitz describes the urban modernity engendered by these parks and their media, encouraging ordinary individuals to sense, interpret, and embody a burgeoning national identity. As industrialization, urbanization, and immigration upended society, amusement parks tempered the shocks of racial, ethnic, and cultural conflict while shrinking the distinctions between gender and class. Following the rise of American parks from 1896 to 1918, Rabinovitz seizes on a simultaneous increase in cinema and spectacle audiences and connects both to the success of leisure activities in stabilizing society. Critics of the time often condemned parks and movies for inciting moral decline, yet in fact they fostered women's independence, racial uplift, and assimilation. The rhythmic, mechanical movements of spectacle also conditioned audiences to process multiple stimuli. Featuring illustrations from private collections and accounts from unaccessed archives, Electric Dreamland joins film and historical analyses in a rare portrait of mass entertainment and the modern eye.

Download The Complete Works of Frances Hodgson Burnett Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
Musaicum Books presents to you this carefully created collection of Burnett's complete works. This ebook has been designed and formatted to the highest digital standards and adjusted for readability on all devices. Frances Eliza Hodgson Burnett (1849 – 1924) was an English playwright and author. She is best known for her children's stories, in particular The Secret Garden (published in 1911), A Little Princess (published in 1905), and Little Lord Fauntleroy (published in 1885-6). Frances Eliza Hodgson was born in Cheetham, near Manchester, England. After her father died in 1852, the family eventually fell on straitened circumstances and in 1865 emigrated to the United States, settling near Knoxville, Tennessee. There, Frances began writing to help earn money for the family, publishing stories in magazines from the age of 19. In 1870 her mother died and in 1872 she married Swan Burnett, who became a medical doctor after which they lived in Paris for two years where their two sons were born before returning to the US to live in Washington D.C. There she began to write novels, the first of which (That Lass o' Lowries), was published to good reviews. Little Lord Fauntleroy was published in 1886 and made her a popular writer of children's fiction, although her romantic adult novels written in the 1890s were also popular.
