In a Man's World: Faculty Wives and Daughters at Phillips Exeter Academy 1781-1981

Book Description

Through a collection of diaries, alumni memories, and personal stories, In a Man's World views life at a boarding school, Phillips Exeter Academy, through the eyes of the wives and daughters who lived on campus. Until now, little has been written about the lives of these women, especially during the years when the school had an all-male faculty and student body.

When women first came to live on campus, the male faculty were unaccustomed to the presence of women. As they dealt with the male dominated culture, the wives imparted the feminine perspective to a previously masculine culture. The daughters contributed their own influence as the only eligible females on campus.

The story begins in 1781 with Elizabeth Phillips, wife of the founder John Phllips and the years when the students lived in boarding houses. The memories continue the story to cover the earliest days of the 20th century to the first years of coeducation in the 1970's and '80's. This narrative covers 200 years of the lives of women living in a man's world, and their interaction with a predominantly male culture.

Book Description

Eisenstein's reputation has long been secure as creator of the Soviet cinema's earliest and most enduring classics, and as a pioneer theorist and teacher. Yet the English-speaking world has not kept pace with a rising tide of Eisenstein scholarship further enriched by new publications emerging from the former Soviet Union.

Eisenstein Rediscovered presents the first true East-West symposium on Eisenstein with an unparalleled diversity of views and methodologies. Scholars from ten countries examine the vast legacy he bequeathed, and offer important new perspectives for reinterpreting Russian culture of the Soviet period. They explore how much Eisenstein owed to the Symbolist culture of his youth; how his involvement in theatre has been undervalued; what role he played in both the artistic and philosophical avant-gardes of the '20s; and how both Pushkin and the English Elizabethans shaped his later concept of tragedy. Including two newly discovered texts by Eisenstein which are translated for the first time, this collection makes extensive use of material only recently available. The `new' Eisenstein that emerges is a far more eclectic and engaging figure than is traditionally perceived.

Book Description

When Irving Berlin first conceived the song "White Christmas," he envisioned it as a "throwaway" -- a satirical novelty number for a vaudeville-style stage revue. By the time Bing Crosby introduced the tune in the winter of 1942, it had evolved into something far grander: the stately yuletide ballad that would become the world's all-time top-selling and most widely recorded song.

In this vividly written narrative, Jody Rosen provides both the fascinating story behind the making of America's favorite Christmas carol and a cultural history of the nation that embraced it. Berlin, the Russian-Jewish immigrant who became his adopted country's greatest pop troubadour, had written his magnum opus -- what one commentator has called a "holiday Moby-Dick" -- a timeless song that resonates with some of the deepest themes in American culture: yearning for a mythic New England past, belief in the magic of the "merry and bright" Christmas season, longing for the havens of home and hearth. Today, the song endures not just as an icon of the national Christmas celebration but as the artistic and commercial peak of the golden age of popular song, a symbol of the values and strivings of the World War II generation, and of the saga of Jewish-American assimilation. With insight and wit, Rosen probes the song's musical roots, uncovering its surprising connections to the tradition of blackface minstrelsy and exploring its unique place in popular culture through six decades of recordings by everyone from Bing Crosby to Elvis Presley to *NSYNC. White Christmas chronicles the song's legacy from jaunty ragtime-era Tin Pan Alley to the elegant world of midcentury Broadway and Hollywood, from the hardscrabble streets where Irving Berlin was reared to the battlefields of World War II where American GIs made "White Christmas" their wartime anthem, and from the Victorian American past that the song evokes to the twenty-first-century present where Berlin's masterpiece lives on as a kind of secular hymn.

Absolutely wonderful.......2003-08-16

I thought that this book was just outstanding. I would give it 6 stars if I could. I thought that the writing was excellent (I found myself frequently flipping back a few pages just to re-read certain passages over again), and that it was endlessly fascinating. The material on the relationship of Jews to Christmas is particularly interesting, as is the author's discussion of the myth of the "recent" commercialization of Christmas. He treats both Berlin and the song itself in a clear-headed yet loving way. I cannot recommend this little book highly enough and I congratulate (and thank) the author for a marvelously entertaining book.

White Christmas.......2003-06-22

This is a pretty interesting book regarding the writing of and eventual huge success of an American popular song.
The author gives good background information about Irving Berlin, the song's composer, plus an interesting look at the history of popular music in general during the days of the great composers.
Also of interest is the various incarnations of the song, from classic era songsters to more contemporary artists and including the use of it in various motion pictures and other venues.

An OK skimmer.......2002-12-13

I got this book because I like books that cover a single entity (one song, one movie, etc.). I ended up skimming it, though, after the introduction, which was a mess that rambled without any structure from paragraph to paragraph. By skimming the rest of the book, I was able to glean several really interesting tidbits I wanted to know about (such as the fact that "I'll Be Home for Christmas" was released a year after "White Christmas," clearly to cash in on the latter's success), but I didn't have to endure the style (or, for that matter, the typeface, which I don't see that often and which tripped me up visually a few times). Also, perhaps it's the author's youth, but there are small but nagging discrepancies here and there (for instance, he doesn't know the distinction between a Christmas song and a carol). And his opinions seem wedged into what is otherwise an objective look at the history of a song -- I frankly found myself not caring what this guy thought -- I just wanted to know what he knew. I'd say get it if "White Christmas" is your favorite song and if you don't already know too much about it or about Irving Berlin, but otherwise find yourself a good Berlin bio and enjoy that.

A Biography for a Christmas Standard.......2002-11-30

It's time to take a good look at the most popular song ever, top selling and most frequently recorded. _White Christmas: The Story of an American Song_ (Scribner) by Jody Rosen not only tells about the song everyone has heard so many times that no one really listens to it anymore, but also about the songwriter, American twentieth century history, and Tin Pan Alley and its descendants. It's a lot of baggage to load upon a pop song, but it is an amazing little song, and the book has a brisk story told with real love of the music and how it was shaped and how it shaped us.

It's a good thing that Irving Berlin didn't write about a Christmas "just like the ones I used to know." He was born Israel Baline in 1888 in a bleak town in Siberia. Russian peasants, drunk with Christmas cheer, often used the holiday as an excuse for pogroms against the Jews, and his first memory is of his house being burned down. Berlin got no formal musical training, but produced hundreds of songs. In January 1940, Berlin worked over the weekend on a song he became very enthusiastic about. He bustled into his office that Monday morning and said, "I want you to take down a song I wrote over the weekend. Not only is it the best song _I_ ever wrote, it's the best song _anybody_ ever wrote." Christmas 1942 was the first that masses of Americans, soldiers and sailors all over the world, would spend away from home, and could only dream of Christmases just like the ones they used to know. Crosby's version was shipped to them in recordings, and it topped the Hit Parade as a patriotic anthem, displacing "Praise the Lord and Pass the Ammunition." The song signaled that recordings and performers were in and sheet music and songwriters were out. In 1957, Berlin tried to squelch an Elvis Presley version, but couldn't.

Rosen's clear, fully researched book is an essential biography of an American song classic, and will improve your understanding every time you inevitably hear the song again. It encompasses important ideas about the history of modern music, Jewish influence and assimilation, patriotism in song, and the evolution of celebrating Christmas. It is not strictly a Christmas book, for it is about much more than just the season. But it would be fine for those looking for serious and interesting reading for the holidays, or as a gift book for readers who think they have already heard all the song has to say.

Fascinating, Moving, Wonderful.......2002-11-24

This is one most lively, intelligent and orginal non-fiction books I've read in years. Not only does Rosen chronicle superbly Irving Berlin's amazing rags-to-riches story and the story of his most successful song but through both illuminates a larger story of how jewish immigrants - with great creative energy and drive for success and inclusion - transformed American culture. The role that WW II played in the song's massive success is also fascinating (and timely).

Book Description

In the Puget Sound region of Washington state, indigenous peoples and their descendants have a long history of interaction with settlers and their descendants. Indians in the Making offers the first comprehensive account of these interactions, from contact with traders of the 1820s to the Indian fishing rights activism of the 1970s. In this thoroughly researched history, Alexandra Harmon also provides a theoretically sophisticated analysis that charts shifting notions of Indian identity, both in native and in nonnative communities.
During the period under consideration, each major shift in demographic, economic, and political conditions precipitated new deliberations about how to distinguish Indians from non-Indians and from each other. By chronicling such dialogues over 150 years, this groundbreaking study reveals that Indian identity has a complex history. Examining relations in various spheres of life--labor, public ceremony, marriage and kinship, politics and law--Harmon shows how Indians have continually redefined themselves. Her focus on the negotiations that have given rise to modern Indian identity makes a significant contribution to the discourse of contemporary multiculturalism and ethnic studies.

Very Interesting, but not for the uninitiated.......2006-08-29

What makes an American Indian and Indian, and why is it important? These are the two overarching questions which inform Professor Harmon's study of the tribes of the Puget Sound region in Washington State from the beginning of the nineteenth century to the present. Combining a narrative description of the events which led to the relative subjugation of tribes and their negotiation of their members status as government wards and American citizens with a legal and economic analysis of the part that native peoples played in Washington state, Harmon goes a good way towards showing how the Amer-Indian identity came to be, why it did. Furthermore, Harmon's study goes a long way in showing how interplay between natives and whites created the situation in which most Indians live today.

This is not only a book about the interplay between whites and Indians though. By showing the intermingling of the various tribes before, during and after their subjugation by the American government, Harmon goes a long way in explaining how Indian identity was created not only by the dominant white societies over generalizing of difference and government sponsored attempts to assimilate most natives, but by the overlapping kinship between tribes (and later with whites). This fact, besides having important legal ramifications that Harmon found herself dealing with as an attorney for the Suquamish tribe in a boundary dispute with the state of Washington in 1980, has extreme relevance for the study of how native peoples in the west have negotiated their existence as both groups and individuals. Also, by exploring the cultural norms of the tribes as they came into contact, Harmon shows how native peoples were able to take advantage of opportunities which the economic development brought in its wake to advance many traditional values associated with having wealth and status. For the natives of the Puget Sound region, as opposed to those on the Prairies or in the East, the expansion was not an unmitigated disaster--though it certainly was not a dinner party either.

Harmon's analysis of Indian history involves creative use of anthropology and historical documentation. In her recreation of life in the Puget Sound region while it was still considered the frontier, Harmon shows a world in which of whites and natives from other areas of North America were seen through the lenses of opportunity, apprehension and simple curiosity. As Harmon explains with regard to the British fur traders--known among the tribes who would come into contact with them as King George men--who came to the region in early nineteenth century, "[a]ccording to local folklore, Europeans at first seemed so different from known humans that Indians supposed them to be animals or creatures from myth time," but, "by the 1820's, natives plainly recognized the King George men as fellow humans, candidates for incorporation into the regional network of human relations (17)." Harmon further demonstrates that for much of the nineteenth century, traders, and later settlers had to acclimate themselves to many of the expectations and values of the native peoples because of the lack of many institutional forms of coercion that would not invite retaliation. Differing attitudes about crime, work habits, spiritual matters, and what to do with the fruits of labor are among the many conflicts that shaped Indian and non-Indian relations during this period and helped to create an Indian identity.

During the twentieth century, most natives came into coercive contact with American institutions in ways that would further advance an Indian identity, and also advance its utility for natives. Most younger Indians found themselves at least for some time at federally backed schools and mission schools with government backing in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Though the goals of these schools was to assimilate natives, they had the unintentional effect of placing a large number of people together whose only unifying feature was their native descent. Harmon writes, "the pupils' interaction helped them formulate a common Indian identity. Diverse as they were, the children were at the schools because the administrators regarded them all as Indians (156)." As much as many of the children and their parents may have, rightfully, resented the treatment that was meted out at these schools, it was unavoidable that the children would gain a sense of identity as non-whites--possibly with divergent or oppositional interests.

It was not inevitable that native peoples' would form an identity that became in some important respects oppositional to the dominant culture. Harmon shows that the native peoples were largely integrated into the economy of Washington state and that discrimination against Indian workers was not a problem until the late 1920's. This was not actually what precipitated the creation of the myriad organizations which would come to represent native interests, nor the reactions of Bureau of Indian Affairs under the tutelage of John Collier--the so called "Indian New Deal"--but these three forces combined to further enforce an Indian sense of difference by way of the dominant society. With World War II uprooting thousands of Indian men for both military service and economic reasons and Washington state's post-war attempts to abrogate treaty rights of several tribes using the (often specious) argument that the tribal entities the treaties were negotiated with no longer existed, Indian identity further crystallized around an understanding of being unfairly exempted from the American dream and being further stripped of rights legally accorded them--rights that many depended on to earn or augment their livelihoods.

Harmon's study is not easy reading--not because of its subject matter or because of any fault of her's as a writer, but because of the amount of knowledge about native history it presumes on the part of the reader. For the reader unfamiliar with native history and western history more specifically, much of this book is difficult fare. Beyond that minor flaw, a flaw unavoidable to any specialized study, the work is an insightful look at what it is to be an Amer-Indian.

unique and thought provoking.......2004-12-01

Indians in the Making is a comprehensive study of the complicated and ambiguous development of ethnic identity among Indian groups in the Puget Sound region of Washington State. The scope of this work is approximately the early 1800s to 1975, and examines the social, economic, religious, and political developments and entities that attempted to define the native population of this region. Before European contact, Indians saw no need to categorize themselves, and had no basis for comparison. With the influx of traders and, more importantly, immigrants to the region in the mid 19th century, Americans saw the need to sort Indians into groups and separate them from non-Indians. For the first time, Indians found themselves ascribed a certain identity from outside forces. Americans believed it was this ascribed identity that would determine what place Indians would have in the American world. However, due to factors such as constant mobility, intermarriage, intermingling, and dispersed settlements, the distinction between Indians and non-Indians became blurred. Ironically, since the 1880s, U.S. officials "set the parameters of Indian identity for purposes of political and property relations, but they have never monopolized the process of defining `Indian' or `tribe.'" (247) Indians in the Puget Sound region have historically refused to define themselves solely in the terms suggested by their American colonizers. Thus, the historically divergent interests and beliefs of various Indian groups in this region have made efforts to consolidate a Puget Sound Indian identity extremely difficult. In the 20th century, the debate about century old treaty fishing rights helped forge a historical and cultural link between these diverse groups. The "treaty-reserved right to fish became the best expression of their relation to non-Indians, and thus, a cardinal symbol of their own Indianness." (218) However, the idea of what it is to be Indian in this region remains a dynamic process.
Indians in the Making presents a unique study on the idea of "identity." Harmon allows the reader to process events as they were processed by the Indians of Puget Sound. The differences between the ways in which Americans viewed certain actions or relationships and the Indian interpretation are clearly spelled out. This approach provides the other side to the story that is so often missing in Indian History. One aspect that could have been explored further was gender relations. Harmon focused on the interaction between groups of men far more than women, except when discussing intermarriage. Harmon conducted extensive research for this book, and offers almost 100 pages of notes after the text. The historical factors that contributed to Puget Sound Indian identity are thoroughly explored, but the account isn't too laden with details. Harmon examines the Indian identity for what it is, as well as for what it is not. Too often, ethnic identity is defined by the policy makers, but in this case, the author examines the ways in which a group has sought to define themselves.

An important contribution to Native studies.......2000-08-28

Dr. Harmon has written a wonderfully crafted work which will be important for future historians of the Pacific Northwest. The story is quite simply about the history of Indian people in the Puget Sound area. Unfortunately, after reading this book, you will no longer see the history of Puget Sound tribes as simple. The history is very complex as the Native peoples and the white explorerers and settlers try to distinguish themselves from each other. In the beginning, George Vancouver could draw a line in the sand to separate the races. It only went downhill from that point especially as the number of interracial marriages began to increase. Who is eligible to be a tribal member? Who can live on the reservation? Are the Indians who live off the reservation truly "Indian"? These are a few of the numerous questions that are raised in this book.

Dr. Harmon has presented a thorough and carefully written work. I would highly recommend it to any student of PNW history or indigenous history buffs. Future historians will have a new benchmark to base their works on. Dr. Harmon provides a wonderful bibliography which is rich with information. This book deserves a home in your library.

Book Description

Without warning, a healthy man feels a suffocating pain in his chest. Hundreds of miles away at the same moment, his identical twin suffers a heart attack. Elsewhere, a woman is deep in labor, while across the continent her twin sister feels contractions rippling across her own flat back and belly. Twin telepathy has long been a source of wonder, and recently a series of original research studies was commissioned to probe this psychic connection. The startling findings are presented here, including powerful evidence of a genuine telepathic link. Incidents of shared emotions, thoughts and tactile sensations, and even such extreme physical manifestations as bruising or burning were all documented, and the nature of telepathy itself is revealed in the words of real men and women who experienced these sensations firsthand. Their experiences will amaze and inspire you even as they challenge accepted notions of individuality and the bonds that tie us.

Psi Ops.......2005-03-22

Telepathy is probably the most common form of what are called psychic or paranormal phenomena. But although it has been studied in research laboratories for more than 60 years, it remains in scientific limbo. Partly this is because telepathy makes no sense within the mechanistic world view of most scientists, and partly because it generally does not meet the standard experimental test of repeatability.

While telepathy has been demonstrated in experiments, it is (like other psychic, or psi, effects) uncontrollable and "shy." It is at the mercy of two forces that are well known by now to subvert consistent experimental results. The first is the "decline effect": subjects who exhibit psi tend to score lower as experiments go on, probably because they become bored with repetitive trials and this seems to have a negative effect on psi ability. The other is "experimenter effect," or the apparent decline in psi faculties when the investigators or the test environment are clinical, cold, or skeptical.

Guy Lyon Playfair is a distinguished psychical researcher and writer who has participated in a number of investigations of paranormal phenomena, the best known being of a poltergeist that caused all kinds of bizarre manifestations in a house in Enfield, north London. Playfair's study of the literature, both experimental and anecdotal, about telepathy led him to believe that the best conditions for telepathy involve situations where there is a strong emotional component, such as danger to the so-called "sender" of a telepathic impression, or when the "sender" and "receiver" are closely related to one another.

Who, he reasoned, are more closely related than identical twins? This book is an account of his research, both historical and empirical, to find out if identical twins have a special knack for communicating to each other without speech or any other tangible means.

What Playfair learned, and describes succinctly in Twin Telepathy, is that identical twins perceiving each other's thoughts or sensations have been recorded at least since Alexander Dumas's novel The Corsican Brothers (1844), which he believes was inspired by a true story. In any case, he reports on many other more recent real-life cases of twins with apparent telepathic links. It is not only thoughts that arise simultaneously in geographically separated twins; they often feel similar physical sensations such as pain in a particular part of the body, and sometimes have identical external symptoms even though only one has been injured. (Among the identical twins he cites are the Kray brothers, gangsters who had blood-stained careers in east London in the 1960s.)

Playfair also discovered a handful of surveys and studies of identical twins, some of which are suggestive of twin telepathy, although he candidly acknowledges that most of them are far from methodologically ideal. But he also found convincing, recorded evidence of twin telepathy from a surprising source: contemporary television guest shows, including those hosted by Oprah Winfrey, Robert Kilroy-Silk, and Esther Rantzen in which twins spoke of their own telepathic experiences.

Better still, Playfair designed experiments that were broadcast on live TV and recorded. In each case, the pairs were separated so that they had no visual or auditory contact, and one of the pair was given an unexpected, strong (though painless!) stimulus. In each case, the other twin reacted -- which in one experiment was captured by a four-channel polygraph. That's my idea of objective evidence.

Twin Telepathy is admirably free of sensationalism or exaggerated claims. Playfair lets the evidence speak for itself. He does not hesitate, though, to verbally sandpaper skeptics he thinks are just plain unwilling to recognize experimental results that are right in front of them. He concludes that, based on the available evidence, about 30 percent of identical twins have some degree of telepathic rapport.

The author's smoothly flowing style, accented with witty asides, makes the book a pleasure to read. His analytical integrity will go far toward satisfying the scientifically (open)-minded, and his speculations about the nature of telepathy will be of interest to the intellectually curious.

Twin Telepathy can be recommended as an introduction to the subject for those with little background in psychical research, as well as to avid students of the subject and professionals.

Enjoyable and informative - good detective work.......2004-02-10

I found this book very interesting. I would like to think I am reasonably open minded (without being empty minded) when it comes to issues surrounding the paranormal. I find over zealous, simplistic and badly researched material a trial whichever side it is coming down on (belief in a paranormal or not). Happily this is not such a book. It is well researched and solidly presented. Although you can sometimes get a bit tired of anecdote after anecdote, I guess it does get the point across that something real is happening. The author goes a step further than anecdotes and personal testimonies. He looks for patterns of operation and draws on his own practical experience along with other research in the field to present a practical theory of when and why telepathy occurs.
The dry sense of humour is an acquired taste though:)
