Popular thought holds that America in the affluent postwar decades avoided extremes and shared a common set of convictions that can be briefly defined as a confidence in American-style capitalism and the democratic abundance it generated; distaste for class conflict; dedication to social unity at home and to anti-communism abroad; interfaith cooperation; and, by the early 1960s, support for civil rights. In this book, Wendy Wall looks at how and why Americans of diverse backgrounds and divergent political views agreed upon a need for and put forward a unifying set of national values. She particularly focuses on three groups: businessmen and advertising executives, government officials and cultural elites, and a loose collation of activists and intellectuals. they collectively launched a sweeping campaign to educate Americans on essential civic values, using radio, television, universities, and advertising. In this detailing of what was in fact a period of culture wars, Wall exmaines the birth of such concepts as 'free enterprise' and the 'vital center' that contiue to be used by politicians today. Speaking to those in multiple fields, this book will appeal to readers who enjoyed such books as Gary Gerstle's American Crucible, Daniel Rodgers' Atlantic Crossing, Mary Dudziak's Cold War Civil Rights, and Elizabeth Borgwardt's A New Deal for the World.
In the wake of World War II, Americans developed an unusually deep and all-encompassing national unity, as postwar affluence and the Cold War combined to naturally produce a remarkable level of agreement about the nation's core values. Or so the story has long been told. Inventing the "American Way" challenges this vision of inevitable consensus. Americans, as Wendy Wall argues in this innovative book, were united, not so much by identical beliefs, as by a shared conviction that a distinctive "American Way" existed and that the affirmation of such common ground was essential to the future of the nation. Moreover, the roots of consensus politics lie not in the Cold War era, but in the turbulent decade that preceded U.S. entry into World War II. The social and economic chaos of the Depression years alarmed a diverse array of groups, as did the rise of two "alien" ideologies: fascism and communism. In this context, Americans of divergent backgrounds and beliefs seized on the notion of a unifying "American Way" and sought to convince their fellow citizens of its merits. Wall traces the competing efforts of business groups, politicians, leftist intellectuals, interfaith proponents, civil rights activists, and many others over nearly three decades to shape public understandings of the "American Way." Along the way, she explores the politics behind cultural productions ranging from The Adventures of Superman to the Freedom Train that circled the nation in the late 1940s. She highlights the intense debate that erupted over the term "democracy" after World War II, and identifies the origins of phrases such as "free enterprise" and the "Judeo-Christian tradition" that remain central to American political life. By uncovering the culture wars of the mid-twentieth century, this book sheds new light on a period that proved pivotal for American national identity and that remains the unspoken backdrop for debates over multiculturalism, national unity, and public values today.
What role does food and cooking play in how people imagine themselves and their communities? In this book Wendy Wall argues that representations of housework in the early modern period helped to forge crucial conceptions of national identity. Rich with a detailed account of household practices in the period, Staging Domesticity reads plays on the London stage in the light of the first printed cookbooks in England. Working from original historical sources on wetnursing, laundering, sewing, medical care and butchery, Wall shows that domesticity was represented as deeply familiar but also enticingly alien. Wall analyses a wide range of the repertoire, including some now little-known plays, as well as key works in the period by Shakespeare and others. Wall concludes that, rather than dramatizations of only court-based and aristocratic domestic life, literature of the period drew on work from the more common household.

For a significant part of the early modern period, England was the most active site of recipe publication in Europe and the only country in which recipes were explicitly addressed to housewives. Recipes for Thought analyzes, for the first time, the full range of English manuscript and printed recipe collections produced over the course of two centuries. Recipes reveal much more than the history of puddings and pies: they expose the unexpectedly therapeutic, literate, and experimental culture of the English kitchen. Wendy Wall explores ways that recipe writing-like poetry and artisanal culture-wrestled with the physical and metaphysical puzzles at the center of both traditional humanistic and emerging "scientific" cultures. Drawing on the works of Shakespeare, Spenser, Jonson, and others to interpret a reputedly "unlearned" form of literature, she demonstrates that people from across the social spectrum concocted poetic exercises of wit, experimented with unusual and sometimes edible forms of literacy, and tested theories of knowledge as they wrote about healing and baking. Recipe exchange, we discover, invited early modern housewives to contemplate the complex components of being a Renaissance "maker" and thus to reflect on lofty concepts such as figuration, natural philosophy, national identity, status, mortality, memory, epistemology, truth-telling, and matter itself. Kitchen work, recipes tell us, engaged vital creative and intellectual labors.

A humorous and heartwarming debut about split cultural identities, and all the ways life fails to go according to plan for sixth-grader Lucy Wu.Lucy Wu, aspiring basketball star and interior designer, is on the verge of having the best year of her life. She's ready to rule the school as a sixth grader, go out for captain of the school basketball team, and take over the bedroom she has always shared with her sister. In an instant, though, her plans are shattered when she finds out that Yi Po, her beloved grandmother's sister, is coming to visit for several months -- and is staying in Lucy's room. Lucy's vision of a perfect year begins to crumble, and in its place come an unwelcome roommate, foiled birthday plans, a bully who tries to scare Lucy off the basketball team, and Chinese school with the annoying know-it-all Talent Chang. Lucy's year is ruined -- or is it? A wonderfully funny, warm, and heartfelt tale about the ways life often reveals silver linings in the most unexpected of clouds.

In this follow-up to Do the Math: Secrets, Lies, and Algebra, Tess learns that life, like algebra, sometimes has no solutions. Sometimes you just have to take a risk and figure out your own answers. The spring semester of eighth grade, like algebra, has become even more complicated for math-lover Tess. There's the new girl at school, whom Tess is not quite sure is a friend. There's bully Richard, who keeps playing mean pranks on her--but if she tells on him, he can finally call her a snitch, so she's not sure she should. There's mysterious graffiti on the wall that seems to be a math code. Is it meant for Tess to understand? Could it have anything to do with the fire set in evil Mr. Z's classroom? Finally, Damien seems to be hanging around more than ever, but she's not sure why-- is it because he likes her, or is it just a "coincidental system" like the one she learned about in algebra class? In the end, Tess figures out that sometimes life doesn't offer formulas to figuring out the answers. Sometimes you have to take a risk and create your own formulas and discover your own solutions, even if you make a few mistakes along the way.

Kaikkien aikojen hevirokkikukko. Ronnie James Dion kauan odotettu elämäkerta kertoo yhden hevimusiikin suurimman vaikuttajan värikkään elämäntarinan.Ronnie James Dio nousi kuuluisuuteen liityttyään Ritchie Blackmoren johtamaan Rainbow-yhtyeeseen 1970-luvun puolivälissä. Vuonna 1979 Diosta tuli Black Sabbathin solisti Ozzy Osbournen lähdettyä bändistä, ja vuonna 1982 hän perusti omaa nimeään kantavan yhtyeen Dio.Omaelämäkerrassaan Dio kuvaa kehitystään tavallisen keskiluokkaisen perheen levottomasta pojasta kolmen legendaarisen yhtyeen ylistetyksi laulajaksi ja niitä ihmisiä, jotka mahdollistivat sen. Dio muistelee lämmöllä muun muassa lapsuudenystäviään, jotka auttoivat hänet alkuun musiikin saralla sekä Ritchie Blackmorea, jonka kanssa työskentely oli vaikeaa mutta hedelmällistä. Mukana muistoissa on myös Tony Iommi, jonka kohtaaminen nosti Dion aivan uudelle suosion tasolle, sekä vaimo ja manageri Wendy Dio, jonka tasapainottavan vaikutuksen ansiosta hänen onnistui nousta suosionsa huipulle oman bändinsä johtajana. Dio aloitti itse elämäkertansa kirjoittamisen, mutta menehtyi ennen sen valmistumista. Kirjoitustyön saattoivat loppuun Wendy Dio ja tunnettu rockkirjailija Mick Wall, joka oli Dion hyvä ystävä kolmen vuosikymmenen ajan.

Rainbow in the dark: Historien om Ronnie James Dio är den officiella biografin om hårdrockens mest framgångsrike sångare genom tiderna: Ronnie James Dio, den lille mannen med den enorma rösten. Mannen bakom den världsberömda horngesten inledde faktiskt sin musikaliska karriär som trumpetare och doo wop-sångare på sextiotalet. Men snart kom han att inta större scener och med band som Rainbow, Black Sabbath och det egna bandet DIO blev framgångarna monumentala med närmare 50 miljoner album sålda. Ronnie James Dio inledde själv arbetet med denna biografi och hade kommit en bra bit in när sjukdomen ryckte bort honom. De senare delarna är nedtecknade av Ronnies änka Wendy och den världsberömde musikbiografen Mick Wall. Boken är översatt av hårdrocksjournalisten Carl Linnaeus.
In a compelling and magical novel set before Wendy Darling meets Peter Pan, intrepid Wendy sneaks out of the nursery to spy on one of her parents' glamorous parties, but what she sees changes her life forever and triggers a series of confusing adventures as she tries to solve the mysteries that lie at the heart of her family.

The outrageously funny and painfully relatable satire of an aspiring artist and millennial culture. Walter Scott s Wendy comics have become a critical sensation, with rave reviews in The New Yorker and the Guardian, and an appearance in the Best American Comics anthology. Learn Wendy s origin story as Scott hilariously plumbs millennial culture, creative ennui, and the nepotism of the art world s institutions. Wendy s an aspiring artist in a party city, and she s in a rut. She spends her time snorting MDMA in gallery bathrooms and watching Nurse Jackie reruns on her laptop while hungover. So when she s accepted into the prestigious Flojo Island residency, Wendy vows to buckle down and get working. But during the remote, woodsy residency, Wendy and her collaborator/BFF Winona put on a performance piece that becomes the centre of an art world controversy, and so Wendy returns to Montreal, getting a job in a coffee shop to make ends meet. With Wendy, Scott launches the Wendyverse, brimming with painfully relatable characters like the back-stabbing frenemyTina, the name-dropping Paloma, the cool drummer Wendy obsesses over, Jeff, and of course, our treasured Wendy, the hot mess we can t live without. In blunt, laughout-loud funny vignettes with perfect punchlines, Scott illuminates the opacity of artspeak and the ceaseless anxieties plaguing a largely privileged generation.
