DOWNLOAD EBOOKAbigail Cheever examines the ways in which social influence was thought to deform individuals in midcentury American culture. Real Phonies examines the twinned phenomena of phoniness and authenticity—beginning with adolescents in the 1950s like Holly Golightly and Holden Caulfield, and ending with mid-career professionals in the 1990s, like sports agent Jerry Maguire.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe pursuit of authenticity is a contemporary obsession. From hipster fixations on artisan coffee and vintage clothing through to the electoral success of supposedly unspun populist politicians like Donald Trump, a yearning for the real pervades our culture. Yet while highly prized and desired, authenticity is also profoundly elusive and contested. This volume stages a wide-ranging interdisciplinary interrogation of the concept, with case studies ranging from collective memory of the Second World War, through the historical fiction of Sarah Waters to the confessional art of Tracey Emin. With contributors drawn from memory studies, cultural history, English literature, theatre studies, and art criticism, it explores how authenticity is in play in diverse practices of reading, remembering, and performing. The chapters demonstrate that authenticity has no single stable definition, but is rather invoked in very diverse ways – both descriptively and prescriptively – in many diverse contexts. They also make clear that it is not an inherent quality but the product of orchestration, performance, and inter-subjective negotiation. This book was originally published as a special issue of Rethinking History.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis book studies authenticity, which is a kind of truth to self, through the study of heritage tourism. When a heritage site is inauthentic, it leads to misinformation. Tourism scholars have been studying authenticity for about 50 years, and this book draws upon the theories and approaches of tourism studies to understand better misinformation, which has become a major topic of study since the US presidential elections in 2016. The book includes a discussion of common-sense and academic notions of authenticity, surveys a half century of scholarship on authenticity, and provides three case studies of heritage tourism sites: Lindsborg, KS (known as Little Sweden, USA), Colonial Williamsburg in Virginia, and the Gettysburg battlefield in Pennsylvania.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKNOVEMBER 14, 1918. With the signing of the Armistice on November 11, 1918, the World War has been practically brought to an end. The events of the past four years have been of such magnitude that the various steps, the numberless battles, and the growth of Allied power which led up to the final victory are not clearly defined even in the minds of many military men. A history of this great period which will state in an orderly fashion this series of events will be of the greatest value to the future students of the war, and to everyone of the present day who desires to refer in exact terms to matters which led up to the final conclusion. The war will be discussed and re-discussed from every angle and the sooner such a compilation of facts is available, the more valuable it will be. I understand that this History of the World War intends to put at the disposal of all who are interested, such a compendium of facts of the past period of over four years; and that the system employed in safeguarding the accuracy of statements contained in it will produce a document of great historical value without entering upon any speculative conclusions as to cause and effect of the various phases of the war or attempting to project into an historical document individual opinions. With these ends in view, this History will be of the greatest value. Signature [Payton C. March] General, Chief of Staff. United States Army.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe user-friendly authentic God for the independent believer... ‘Book of the Authentic’, is a self-improvement, self-validating spiritual book for the independent believer. If you are a person, who values honesty and is willing to apply that trait to knowing 'the real deal about God,’ then you will love this read. Let’s face it, today most folks no longer view spiritual matters the same way their parents or grandparents did. Spirituality and what God means to people and how they identify with him, has changed. Millions also no longer actively take part in the religion they were raised in. The question is why? What happened? Are people running from something or to something? I found it to be the latter. Most people are in their own way, running to something. It is something that by instinct they perceive to be better. That ‘better’ is a kinder more user-friendly God than what they were raised to have. The ramification of such an action through the years, by millions of people, has been powerful enough to begin changing how the world believes and how they envision God personally and that phenomenon keeps evolving. As I wrote this book I began to call this new sought after kinder more user-friendly God, the Authentic God. Digging for the full disclosure of this God spanned several years of my life and challenged me to the core. In the end my questions were answered, I found true peace, and I have fully embraced becoming a free and independent believer. It is my wish you will find this writing deeply inspiring, spiritually liberating and perhaps even life changing. Thanks for reading it.
