Book excerpt: In a world where more people know who Princess Di was than who their own senators are, where Graceland draws more visitors per year than the White House, and where Michael Jordan is an industry unto himself, fame and celebrity are central currencies. In this intriguing book, Tyler Cowen explores and elucidates the economics of fame. Fame motivates the talented and draws like-minded fans together. But it also may put profitability ahead of quality, visibility above subtlety, and privacy out of reach. The separation of fame and merit is one of the central dilemmas Cowen considers in his account of the modern market economy. He shows how fame is produced, outlines the principles that govern who becomes famous and why, and discusses whether fame-seeking behavior harmonizes individual and social interests or corrupts social discourse and degrades culture. Most pertinently, Cowen considers the implications of modern fame for creativity, privacy, and morality. Where critics from Plato to Allan Bloom have decried the quest for fame, Cowen takes a more pragmatic, optimistic view. He identifies the benefits of a fame-intensive society and makes a persuasive case that however bad fame may turn out to be for the famous, it is generally good for society and culture.

It ran as follows: - "MY DEAR ED., "I sail for England on the 27th. But before I leave I want to have another look at the Shawenegan Falls. Their roar has been in my ears ever since I left there. That tremendous hillside of foam is before my eyes night and day. The sketches I took are not at all satisfactory, so this time I will bring my camera with me, and try to get some snapshots at the falls.

Book excerpt: Betty Weaver Fridley always wanted to be a school teacher, she played school instead of house as a child. Her mother encouraged her toward that end. When the local school, was replacing some of its old desks, Dimmis, her mother, hauled three of the old desks home in her child's little wagon. They lived in the country, only a quarter of a mile from Jackson Township Schools. Betty then had her own schoolroom in the old "smoke house" on the farm. In 1945 Betty graduated from Bowling Green State University, where she had been elected treasurer of the Senior Class, and was a member of the Alpha Phi Sorority, where she was also treasurer her senior year. She started her Business Education teaching career in the little town of Anna, Ohio, "Earthquake center of Ohio." I'm not kidding. Anna had two devastating earthquakes in 1936, which condemned the school and the two brick churches. She taught Stenography courses for 33 years, retiring in 1985. At present, she and her husband of nearly 65 years, own and operate Dishong Country Store Antiques on the edge of Anna. The store is furnished with antique showcases, and merchandise from Betty's grandfather Uriah Dishong's General Store, which was located in Hoytville, Wood County, Ohio. For solace and for her eyes alone, she would often put her thoughts on paper, especially if the thoughts were disturbing.

Book excerpt: Explores the rich history, collections, and significance of the only museum in the United States dedicated solely to the art form of dance. The only museum in the United States dedicated entirely to the art form of dance, the National Museum of Dance and Hall of Fame opened in June 1987, after a short preview season the summer before. This unique and special place celebrates its thirtieth anniversary in 2017. To commemorate this milestone, Lisa Schlansker Kolosek has created a rich pictorial history tracing not only the museum’s remarkable evolution but the relevance of the museum to the city of Saratoga Springs, New York. Kolosek tells the story of the museum’s origins, from its notable founders’ grand idea to the selection and complete renovation of a historic 1920s bath house as its home. Combining a complete survey of exhibitions presented by the museum and the incredible history of the Hall of Fame, which recognizes dance luminaries across multiple genres, this book offers an in-depth look at the museum’s expansive collection of costumes, visual art, and archival materials. The book also covers the history of the museum’s Lewis A. Swyer Studios and School of the Arts, a leader in dance education. Beautifully illustrated with more than four hundred photographs, this book pays tribute to the immense impact of the National Museum of Dance and Hall of Fame. Lisa Schlansker Kolosek is the research associate at the National Museum of Dance and Hall of Fame and the author of The Invention of Chic: Thérèse Bonney and Paris Moderne.
