The Power of Style
ASIN: 0312147570 |
Book Description
From one of Canada's most acclaimed biographers, a deliciously wicked and revealing look at five women who were icons of style:
¸
Eugénie, Empress of France
¸
Elinor Glyn, successful pulp novelist
¸
Marlene Dietrich, the most imitated woman in the world
¸
Wallis Simpson, the woman the King could not live without
¸ and
Jackie Kennedy, the enigmatic First Lady who influenced women's fashion for decades to come
Marian Fowler takes us along as she peers into a great many wardrobes, hat boxes and jewel cases to reveal how these five extraordinary women wrote their life stories in the universal language of clothes.

fluffy but well done.......2003-08-20
It's a bit fluffy and shallow, and Fowler's attempts to psychoanalyse her subjects tend to fall flat, but she still manages to educate and entertain. I did wonder about her portrayal of Jackie Onassis and of the Duchess of Windsor, both of whom came off looking like truly dreadful people. IMHO the sections on Elinor Glyn and Marlene Dietrich are the best.
(I think the Consuelo referred to in the book as Elinor Glyn's friend is Consuelo Yznaga, who was in fact Duchess of Manchester. Consuelo Vanderbilt was duchess of Marlborough. Both are profiled in Fowler's "In A Gilded Cage.")
An Absolutely Delicious Read.......2003-01-28
This is a book that traces the lives a five women through their use of clothing as a means to achieve power. The book does not focus on their charitable activities, their acts of kindness, their good deeds and works - nor should it; such information is readily available elsewhere. Sadly, because the book describes how these women defined their places in the world via externals (fabrics, jewels, and the like), it's easy to dismiss the women as shallow, but those who do are missing the point of the book entirely. The author describes in great detail how clothing radiates primal signals and symbols, as well as how these women were masters of the art of communicating what they wished through this means. And not only is the infomation pithy and satisfying, the author's writing style is an absolute delight. I'm frankly surprised that this book is out of print because I think it's a classic. One of the most interesting books I've come across in a long time.
Style? No: greed, obsession and ridiculousness........1998-06-29
Marian Fowler's book is very educational in a National-Enquirer/Star Magazine kind of way: lots of dirt, not much substance but overall a good read if you are looking for a relaxing book that doesn't challenge you to think too much.
The five women depicted were shown in a different light than ever brought forth before: clothes were an unhealthy obsession for these women as their pursuit for the "perfect outfit" ruled their lives. Perhaps this is how they dealt with their insecurities, but over-all, all of these women were protrayed as shallow, useless human beings.
Should this book ever go to a second edition, it would not surprise me that Diana, Princess of Wales would be included as a sixth chapter as there are shades of her insecurities and love of clothes in all the women presented....she would fit in nicely.
I DID enjoy it although her use of little known adjectives (ex: solipism) sent me to the dictionary and I am an avid reader. One small error though that must have slipped by the author: Consuelo Vanderbilt was the Duchess of Marlborough, not the Duchess of MANCHESTER.... Fowler should know as she wrote a book on Blenheim Castle!

Book Description
The father is one of the central figures of Hollywood narrative. The first book to examine cinematic representations of the father, Bringing Up Daddy offers a broad perspective on the Hollywood dad by looking at important Hollywood fathers from World War II to the present. The book looks at films decade by decade and adopts a multi-faceted theoretical approach, making use of psychoanalysis, sociology and masculinity studies and contextualizing the father figure within both Hollywood and American history. Key films include: Since You Went Away, Teresa, The Search, Father of the Bride, Rebel Without a Cause, Giant, Home from the Hill, Cape Fear, To Kill a Mockingbird, Jaws, The Great Santini, Kramer vs. Kramer, Ordinary People, Die Hard, Terminator, Three Men and a Baby, Boyz n the Hood, Magnolia, Happiness, and American Beauty. In its treatment of the father, this unique study discusses why the father is such a seminal character in so many narratives and what he has come to symbolize and represent.

more complex roles for fathers.......2006-11-08
Bruzzi describes the many depictions of fathers in mainstream Hollywood movies spanning the postwar years. We see that until the 1960s, these were often very traditional roles, with the mothers and children playing equally stereotypical parts, in counterpoint. The fathers are often depicted as wise and responsible. And holding down jobs while the wife stayed at home. Rarely were these roles questioned, until the rise of feminism in the 60s, when new directors and movies came forth.
Going forth, some movies took on a post-feminist masculinity that gave father's role and attitudes more complexity and nuance. Now, often, we see depictions of wives who working. Whereas earlier, this might have been seen as a failure of the father to support his family.

Not exactly all you need.......2006-02-26
As a book, this is a decent purchase (at least at the discounted price), but for those badass girls who've always wanted to learn to play poker but know little more than what we've seen in Westerns, gangster movies, and A Streetcar Named Desire," it might come as a teensy surprise that "all you need to play" does not include chips. Now that I know what a good poker chip is, I'd never buy a pack like this that included them anyway, and certainly wouldn't expect to get usable ones for this price, but for the woman who knows nothing about poker, it's a reasonable assumption to expect "all you need" to include them. I bought this kit having already been warned by another reviewer, so come poker party time, I was set with a really nice case of 300 clay chips that cost me $70; I wasn't surprised not to find chips in this kit and didn't really care. But as it turns out, "all you need to play your way...except chips" wouldn't really be accurate either, as the shot glasses (4) are an unpleasant plastic, and the cards are too cheap to use. (Though the "cheat sheet" coasters are great.) Basically, this is a cute little book in a big, pink box. (And strangely, a book half as long as the book of the same title sold separately for $9.95.) Clearly, Toby Leah Bochan's got bluffing down to a science.
You still need the chips!.......2005-11-02
I loved the book and all the items in the box were great- but no chips! It was nice to have 'cheat sheets', etc, but the book was a better value. Good graphics, too
Book Description
Author of the Business Week million-copy bestseller, 1001 Ways to Reward Employees, Bob Nelson is the motivational specialist who helps businesses stay competitive by teaching them how to inspire their employees to excel. Now joined by Dr. Dean Spitzer, senior consultant and performance improvement expert for IBM, Nelson distills the knowledge, experience, and ideas gained from working with thousands of organizations into a hands-on, practical fieldbook.
Beginning with the basics of motivation, including the decline of traditional incentives and the trend toward empowered employees, the book lays the groundwork for developing and managing a rewards or recognition program in any work situation: how to recognize an individual or a group; how to develop a low-cost recognition program; how to sell it to upper management, prevent and fix common problems, and assess its effectiveness. There are planning worksheets, templates for different purposes?improving morale, improving attendance, increasing retention?plus perforated reference cards for immediate guidance, and 101 new low-cost/no-cost recognition ideas. Running through the margins are Nelson's answers to the questions most frequently asked since the publication of 1001 Ways to Reward Employees.
Customer Reviews:
Excellent.......2007-02-10
Many great ideas. Using them in my current mgmt situation turned the department around. I work for the cheapest company in the world that treats their people like they don't deserve to work there. Financially they won't back my efforts at all, but hey, it's my career so I don't mind spending a little. The book is inspiring and well written. They have 2 other books related to this, but I didn't buy them b/c glancing through them they appear to not offer what this book does. Good hardcare information.
What a treasure!.......2003-12-03
Motivation of employees through rewards and recognition is critically important for organizational success. This topic is vital for supervisors, managers, executives, human resource professionals, business owners...the list goes on. Your power in this essential part of business is based on how much you know about what works, what doesn't work, and why. The more examples you can glean about what others are doing, the stronger you will be.
Nelson and Spitzer are internationally known experts in rewards and recognition. They both know their topic extremely well, and that high level of expertise comes out in this book. Readers familiar with the field will think they already have the answers if they have previous books written by these authors. Guess again!
This book is packed with information, insights, tips, ideas, case studies-you name it. Have you ever packed a suitcase so full that it was almost impossible to close it? That's the experience you'll have with this field book. You'll wonder how these gurus ever got this much stuff packed in between those two covers. Just a few pages of reading and you'll already be on information overload!
There are so many features in this publication, I'll probably not be able to name them all. (Do you hear enthusiasm in my review?) Case studies. End of chapter summaries. Good table of contents. Vignettes describing positive-and negative-experiences. Over 40 no-cost ideas. Worksheets. Resources. Training designs. Reminder cards. Comprehensive index. On and on and on. There are at least four separate books in these pages, all jammed into one tremendous resource.
Bob Nelson's "1001 Ways to Reward Employees" has sold over a million copies. This book is even more of a value...especially at the surprisingly modest price. There is no question that this volume will have an impact on readers and the organizations they serve. Even just modest application of the knowledge found in this tool chest will return many more times the investment of the purchase and the time to read all that the authors share.
Highly recommended.
Book Description
The story of America's greatest running legend.
For five years, no American runner could beat him at any distance over a mile. But at the age of 24, with his best years still ahead, long-distance runner Steve Prefontaine finally lost. Driving alone at night after a party, Prefontaine crashed his sports car, putting a tragic, shocking end to the life and career of one of the most influential, accomplished runners of our time.
More than 20 years later, Pre continues to influence the running world.
From his humble origins in Coos Bay, Oregon, Pre became the first person to win four NCAA titles in one event. Year after year, he was virtually unbeatable. Instead of becoming one of the new breed of professional track athletes, Pre chose to stay amateur and fight for the adequate funding he felt American amateur athletes deserved.
A man of incredible desire and energy, Pre trained relentlessly. In his drive to be the best, he spurred others to do their best. As one racer said, "He ran every race as if it were his last."
But Pre not only touched runners; his exciting technique as well as his maverick lifestyle made him a favorite of the fans. A race with Prefontaine in it was automatically an event.
His brief but brilliant life is the tale of a true American hero.
This is his story.
"Some people create with words or with music or with a brush and paints. I like to make something beautiful when I run. I like to make people stop and say, 'I've never seen anyone run like that before.' It's more than just a race, it's style. It's doing something better than anyone else. It's being creative."--Steve Prefontaine

pre book review.......2007-08-23
i am always interested in reading about successful athletes. pre was a great read, simple easy read, some great insight on pre from some of his running partners. i enjoy the statistics and he had many.
Steve Prefontaine.......2007-08-04
Taken too young from us - will always be a hero to us.
Read this motivational book.
Great account.......2007-07-11
This is an excellent read for anyone. You don't have to know who Steve was to enjoy this book. The book has a lot of information and details that were not in the movies.
PRE - Enough said.......2007-04-03
I now own both Prefontaine movies and this book, and I feel that each one has filled in gaps that have been left by the other. Even though I have several different visuals in my mind from the movies, I still feel that hearing this story from one of his teammates gives some great insight into the young man that took the world of running by storm.
It was great.......2006-01-12
This is the best book that I have ever read. His life is just really interesting to me. It might be because im a runner too, but i dont care. All the things that he does. Like how he just starts to run becasue he cant play football with the other kids. Also how he says when he is in high school that he is going to go to the Olympics. He Is an insperation to many runners. With him dying so young just makes his story all the more tragic. His tenacity is what I most like about him. How he says that he doesn't go out to race to win the race, but to see who has the most guts. I always wished that i could be like Pre, but he was just a star beyond me. Every time I race I think of his famous quote, "To give anything less than your best is to sacrifice the gift." That just inspires me to work harder and run faster. It is just a great book to read.

Debunking a Great Myth, View From the South.......2001-01-02
Most every researcher and writer on this period has made great use of the State Department Consular and Diplomatic files in the National Archives and other foreign based collections. This makes great sense as the majority of them are literate in English first and Spanish second. It also makes sense for an Anglo who needs some explication, because a Mexican reporting to a Mexican does not have to explain "Mexicanness" --things peculiar to his culture. Reporters and travelers for centuries have been doing the comparative bit. That is why people read travel books, to gain insight into other cultures.
The second reason for the past emphasis on "Yanqui" sources has been access. Many of the participants in the revolution lived very long lives and the political and personal animosities of the time lasted for some forty years after. It was their history, and they were understandably and justifiably sensitive about Anglos poking around in it.
It was not until the 1960s that Pancho Villa himself was officially recognized as a hero of the Revolution, but even then, due to still existent sensitivities, that an equestrian statue erected in Chihuahua, based on a photograph of Villa on a rampant horse, had facial features deliberately distorted by the sculptor so as not to be Villa's likeness even though everyone knew the sculpture was in memory of Villa. I understand the files of the Mexican Ministry of Defense have yet to be opened to anyone for research.
Fortunately that particular lack of access is not an insurmountable problem as many of the survivors who came out on top kept extensive personal archives. And so many of the dispatches, orders, and reports can be found in them. This is exactly what the author has been able to do. By making use of all the civil and personal archives that he could get to, he has constructed a Mexican view of the events of the time covered.
In so doing he has set out to disprove a great misconception held at the time and in years to come by both the US government and the American public that the Carranzista government's forces were not just uncooperative with the Punitive Expedition (which was true) but that they either were complicit or active conspirators in helping hide Villa from Pershing's pursuit. The author has satisfactorily proven that the latter hypothesis is false.
The Carranzistas constantly fought major and minor battles with Villistas but were hampered by a loose system of command, a sometime lack of supplies, and the necessity of garrisoning various towns, thus exposing themselves to the same conditions of vulnerability to surprise attack as the inhabitants of Columbus, NM, had been in. The only major town Villa was close to capture during this phase of La Revolucion, was after a battle with Carranzistas in which he was greviously wounded in the leg and was an invalid for some months.
In the fall of 1915 after the Villistas had been repeatedly defeated by forces commanded by Alvaro Obregon and driven back from near Mexico City to the border of Arizona, the Wilson gernments recognized the Carranzistas as the legitimate government of Mexico. Before this the US government had stood neutral between the two sides. Even though Carranza was now officially recognized, hw remained jast as prickly and hostile as he had been before. Hw qas moat inaiatent on the prerogatives he felt were due to a sovereign nation; this included the right to be left alone not subject to bullying by his northern neighbor. On the other hand, Villa, who had consistently acted as a friend to the United States, was justifiably enraged, at this betrayal by those whom he had considered friends.
Carranza for his part, was no mellower than before, not wanting Amercan help in dealing with what he considered to be the Mexicans' business. To the Americans he appeared to be ungrateful for the "favor" of recognition.
What has obscured ever since. the Carranzista's continuing major efforts to deal on their own, actively and effectively with the remnants of Villa's oncs powerful army, were two unfortunate major clashes between American pursuers and Carranzista government forces--the armed opposition at Parral to any further southward penetration which ended active pursuit of the Villistas and resulted to withdraeal northward of American forces, their consolidation, and the beginning of months of dull occupation, punctuated by cavalry patrolling; second, a clash at Carrizal between a detachment of the Tenth Cavalry and the Carranzista garrison, resulting from the US commander's insistance on passing eastward through the town in defiance of First Chief Carranza's dictum that the only direction US forces could go was north. The incident ended in the rout of the Tenth's troopers and the deaths of the US and Mexican commanders and others.
Full scale war was demanded by American interventionists (many of whom were major capitalists). General conflict almost ocurred but cooler heads prevailed, having realized that invasion and occupation of all Mexico in pursuit of a handfull of dispersed raiders was not only ridiculous but unattainable without years of strife. (There are obvious parallels between that time and ours. Wilsonian meddling in other country's affairs is not a thing of the past).
So the author has done a great service in mining the Mexican records, and tied them together with a general narrative that sets the scene for the detailed story of the period. In addition, he writes with a commendable clarity and preciseness that is often lacking in scholarly works.
Book Description
Today, even as America asserts itself globally, it lacks a grand strategy to replace "containment of communism." In this short, sharp book, Gary Hart outlines a new grand strategy, one directing America's powers to the achievement of its large purposes. Central to this strategy is the power of American ideals, what Hart calls "the fourth power." Constitutional liberties, representative government, press freedom--these and other democratic principles, attractive to peoples worldwide, constitute a resource that may prove as important to national security and the national interest in this dangerous new century as traditional military, economic and political might. A bracing vision of an America responsive to a full spectrum of global challenges, The Fourth Power calls for a deeper understanding both of the threats we face and the profound strengths at our disposal to fight them.
Customer Reviews:
An excellent vision for America.......2006-01-01
Gary Hart's proposals for America's "large purposes" for the 21st century should find support from both the left and the right. While he makes it abundantly clear that he does not support the current administration's actions, his proposals and and worldview can be satisfying to Democrats and Republicans, at least if they are not too close to the fringes. This is a book about ideas, not a compilation of proposed programs, so it can be argued that it is naive. Hart does provide some examples of how the ideas might be implemented in practice, but there is clearly much more work to be done. Since such work should be done on a bipartisan basis, I believe he was correct in keeping the book short (and even repetitive, as it was) and concentrating on grand strategy. In summary, I found the book inspiring during a time when there is so much partisan bickering. I strongly recommend it to anyone who wants to see how we can move forward in America united, not divided.
Disappointing, Platitudinous .......2005-12-04
. I had always thought that Gary Hart was one of the more thoughtful Democrats on the scene and have always regretted the ritual gutting the press inflicted on him when he was otherwise well positioned to become the President in 1988. I understand from my fellow political junkies he is considering running for the 2008 election. I'm not sure whether this book is part of his campaign strategy--it seems all candidates write a book, or like Kennedy, have a book written for them, before running.
. Sen. Hart starts with a reasonably good idea, that American exceptionalism-America means something by virtue of its distinct democratic, tolerant and egalitarian values-should be the basis of American foreign policy. This is an idea that most Democrats and Republicans could agree upon. Unfortunately, the book quickly bogs down in platitudinous observations. By page 50, I found it increasingly difficult to read; one can only see the same repackaged idea so many times before looking for something else to read.
. Good try, Sen Hart. Please develop your idea further. It's worth discussing; it's just that this book didn't do it.
Gary Hart provides a rudder and an anchor........2004-09-29
Gary Hart's "The Fourth Power" only whets my appetite for more from this giant of a political philosopher. This is the most important book on "grand strategy" for this country since George Kennan's work that led to the "containment policy," which served our nation's foreign policy and leadership in the world for a half-century. Since the fall of communism, as we then knew it, the U.S. has been adrift and devoid of a centering philosophy, subjecting us to the whims of individual presidents. This is dangerous, and Senator Hart's thinking should be employed to help us see the need for a unifying theme, based on our unique principles, and to guide us in adopting one as a democratic republic.
It's time for a strategic review, but is this too simple?.......2004-09-08
The United States and the world around us is changing. For half a century the world situation was framed as part of the super-power struggle between the Soviet Union bloc and the so called Free World. Even the smaller countries, Cuba, the little African states, Israel and the Middle East had overtones of the super-power struggle.
Then it all changed. And we are still formulating what we are going to do. There is a view that the country under George W. Bush is heading towards building an Empire. The United States has poweres economically, politically, and militarily. Mr. Hart argues that there is a fourth power - principle.
We are heading into a strange new world. The rise of non-governmental organizations like Al Qaeda present a new kind of threat. The rise of a united Europe, bigger with more people, more money than the United States - there is no one else in the world big enough to go to war with the US. The problems of AIDS throughout Africa and explosively growing in Asia present a future bleak for most of the world.
Mr. Hart suggests a strategy for the United States to follow based on building on American principles of participatory democracy. I wish I could hear more of this debate from the two people running for President rather than the opponent bashing that seems to occupy most of what I hear.
