Feb 29, Nicole rated it really liked it Recommends it for: Devoted followers of the environmental movement. An education in the development of our wasteful society - born of industrialization and highly attributed, in this book, to the automotive and appliance industry in the late '50's. Packard drills the reader on the many "impending dooms" that will be caused by the American's developing penchant for excess. The author knew, long before many, that this constant need for bigger better faster and more would cause environmental and social issues beyond what could be imagined by the general populous. A An education in the development of our wasteful society - born of industrialization and highly attributed, in this book, to the automotive and appliance industry in the late '50's. A great read and comical at times as Packard theorizes on the development of ludicrous time and space saving inventions "just on the horizon" - i. It's interesting to read this book now, 40 years after publication, with the knowledge of what will and will not happen and develop. I'd recommend this book to devoted followers of the environmental movement who seek to understand how the wasteful American mentality was born. There were harbingers of doom in the late 50's and this book details their concerns. This book will also intrigue those who feel owned by their possessions and have a desire to understand how Americans were conditioned to believe that their worth is reflected by their ability to buy anything and everything. Leave it to the Cleavers. Ward and June nifty keen fans of this book Mar 03, Gilda Mansour rated it it was amazing. All of the things I thought about marketing and production of goods is true! I always believed that things were designed to break so that consumers would be forced to consume more and I was right! This book is really interesting and a bit maddening! Written at a time when many of the early treatments of 'iatregenis' self-causing-inducing works were emerging. Works which did at the time make some impact as sociological insights without fully understanding the overwhelming impact contained in the message. Today we have a more developed and self-conscious 'eco and self-policing' consumerism. In the 50's and 60's politicians were hoist aloft the greater and the more innovative the stretch of the industrial investment and consumer currency. The Written at a time when many of the early treatments of 'iatregenis' self-causing-inducing works were emerging. The good times were accepted as exactly that without thought of how or why. Behind the scenes governments could conduct tests and stockpiling related to potential conflict without being to public or answerable to citizens. In the meantime the citizens being in full employment with a continual stream of innovative and labour-saving or status ridden products, did not question any possible harm which might be involved. The times have caught up with the first alarms of the 60's. Not before time. Many of these succinct, first small treatise would be worth re-visiting. They capture, firsthand with good factual detail many of the later, more messy messages of eco and financial slavery bedevilling us today. Good, but for an English woman in the 21st Century it was dated and American. Also, some remarks were sexist, although they would have been acceptable in , I suppose. I also found the style a bit odd. It was meant to be scientific, I think, but Packard just quotes comments from random people he met, as well as 'experts'. I also have difficulty dealing with data when expressed in x amount of dollars. I would have preferred percentages where possible. Still applicable almost 60 years later. What have we become? This truly encourages one to ponder why we live the way we do, how decades of advertising have changed the very character of Americans. I want Vance to write this book again, from the perspective of modern times. Then again, I don't. Now that Greta Thunberg has inspired many young people to take action against the destruction of our planet, it's time more people are made aware of Vance Packard's book, written 60 years ago, warning us of the path we are going down. It is even more relevant today and should stand alongside George Orwell's "" in the bookstores and be required reading in schools. Feb 03, Tim rated it liked it. Fascinating for it's prescience. This book tracks the rise of consumer culture from its infancy. The only thing it really gets wrong is not seeing the How much of a problem plastics would become. View 1 comment. Origin of the term "planned obsolescence"; one of many installments in American frugality discourse. Nov 12, Isabel rated it liked it. This is the third volume in Vance Packard's series of books about American life and sociology. In it he makes the case for calling America a society of waste makers by documenting the wanton discarding of automobiles, appliances, and gadgets due to the desire for the newest and the latest. That desire was created by advertizing. During the s, manufacturers began building obsolescence into their products both by lowering quality so that stuff wore out faster and by focusing on yearly style This is the third volume in Vance Packard's series of books about American life and sociology. During the s, manufacturers began building obsolescence into their products both by lowering quality so that stuff wore out faster and by focusing on yearly style changes. American shoppers were made to want the newest, the latest, and even homes bought from previous owners were called "used homes. Even having more babies and encouraging population growth was a good thing because it created more customers! He captures the materialistic mood of the s and goes on to expose the inevitable consequences: depletion of natural resources, pollution, the decline of cities as suburbia grew, the failure to predict the costs of educating all those extra kids, as well as the moral and spiritual effects on a population whose main goal was to acquire things. As in his other two books, Packard pretty much predicted the mess we are in today. In fact, reading this one was an eerie experience because most of what he warned about in is right here all around me in my life and the lives of my children and grandchildren. Packard was brutally attacked by big business in his day for exposing their strategies. He was also mocked for writing "popular" sociology. But I know my dad read his books and now I know why we had a Rambler as the family car. In fact, many of his suggestions for resolving the issues created by such rampant consumerism are now also part of life as people who can see beyond their cars and restaurant level kitchen appliances and computers and phones, attempt to bring our world into balance. I recommend these books, The Hidden Persuaders , The Status Seekers , and The Waste Makers , to anyone who cares about life for our descendents, because he explains clearly and fairly concisely how we got to where we are. Happily in each book he is a better writer. This one was not boring at any time. Jan 22, Alex Lee rated it really liked it Shelves: , economics , design. Very percipient book. You'd wonder why no one takes such an examination to heart. But what's left out, in a minor but important way -- is that to see the waste we produce we must also take a critical distance to our status seeking. Those of us who are enveloped by the commodity fetishism of new products are those of us least likely to see waste production everywhere, as the focus is on the increased vitalization of the self through commodity use and purchase. Nonetheless, Packard's thoughts in Very percipient book. Nonetheless, Packard's thoughts in the early 60s are just as prevalent then as it is now. Of course, our sense of impending doom is always based on current technology. Unbridled faith in tech is another way to defer responsibility, so that we don't have to change. American society overemphasizes consumption, especially the quantity rather than the quality of what it consumes, and that it therefore sacrifices culture, prudence, and a proper concern for the future. He blames these distorted values on the business community, especially on the marketers and advertisers who have beguiled the public into accepting false standards. These include ""growthmanship"" or needling purchasing appetites; throwaway strategy such as the "" disposable "" concept; and planned obsolescence , whether through styling or the calculated perishability of the product. The artificial aspects are far more extensive and there are sham elements in pricing, servicing, packaging , financing, commercializing to make the hard sell easy and promote prodigality. And the dollar sign on the price tag is not the only price to be paid-- our national resources are being destroyed along with our individual character and our family patterns. Vance Packard worked to change the meaning of the term " consumerism " from a positive word about consumer practices to a negative word meaning excessive materialism and waste. One reviewer said that the book is an examination of how economic growth became thought to be a virtue. Another reviewer said that the book describes the manipulation of ordinary people by business interests. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

One side of the number line is the the printing number, the other side is the year of that printing. Numbers and years are removed as the book continues through its course of sales. Sometimes the word "First Edition" will helpfully be printed on that page, often described as "First edition stated" by booksellers. That bold declaration can't always be taken as authoritative, though. If the word First Edition is on the page with a number line, that number line must be complete. This means that the first number in that line of numbers must start with the first number for that publisher. In most cases, this is predictably a '1', but in one famous example of the arcane nature of publisher's methods, Random House between and began their number lines with a 2 on their first editions that included a number line. Counter intuitively, a 1 in the number line for that publisher during those years meant a later printing. The printing history page is the first thing to check, but not the last. In some cases the printing history may show everything that you could hope for, but other parts of the book contradict that story. Reprint houses EG: Sundial Press, Triangle Books, Grossett and Dunlap would sometimes purchase the original printing plates from the original publisher. Their reprinted edition would potentially bear all of the same edition identifiers on the copyright page. The test here is to compare that copyright page with the information on the spine of the book. Typically, the reprint house would label the tail of the spine with their company name. If the copyright page tells you that the book is a first edition from William Morrow and Company, but the spine of the book tells you that it was published by Walter J. Black, you probably don't have a first edition. Advanced review copies and other pre-production copies of a book may also share all of the printing history details as the first edition, but the cover of these editions almost invariably will state that it is an advanced review copy or galley, or something similar. While these pre-publication printings are technically first editions, they tend to have limited appeal to collectors, so they generally aren't the first edition that collectors seek. Much the same as reprint houses, book clubs will reproduce the entire book without any changes, and that reproduction includes the printing history. Book club editions can usually be identified as such by one of a few tell-tale signs. In most any hardcover modern work of fiction, the dust jacket has a price in the front flap. If your copy doesn't have a dust jacket to compare by, there are other ways to potentially tell it it's a book club edition, but without the dust jacket, it's value is probably pretty limited regardless of whether or not it's a first edition. For many decades book clubs would mark their editions with a blind stamp or colored deboss on the tail of the back board, near the spine. That little mark is a sure sign of a book club edition. Not all publishers make specific mention of the first edition. In some cases, no indication to the contrary is the way that you can tell the first printing. Book collectors expresses this as "no additional printings. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. This article has multiple issues. Please help improve it or discuss these issues on the talk page.

The Gothic style of furniture was part of the medieval revival in art and architecture, which began in the 18th century and became even more prevalent in the Victorian era. Gothic furniture tended to feature elements found in medieval architecture, such as arches and openwork patterns.

Chippendale also included at the beginning of the book a brief discussion of five orders of architecture and instructions on drawing furniture in perspective.

Many copies of the Director made their way to North America, and many examples of Chippendale-inspired furniture from 18th century America have survived. By publishing his designs in text and illustrations, Chippendale spread his influence far beyond the reaches of his London workshop. Interested in learning more about American furniture design? So interesting, Megan! A skyscraper is almost easier. That is why Chippendale is famous. I love it!
