Boardwalk of Dreams: Atlantic City and the Fate of Urban America

During the first half of the twentieth century, Atlantic City was the nation's most popular middle class resort--the home of the famed Boardwalk, the Miss America Pageant, and the board game Monopoly. By the 1960s, it had become a symbol of urban decay and blight, compared by journalists to bombed out Dresden and war-torn Beirut. A dozen casinos and twenty five years later, Atlantic City is once again one of America's most popular tourist spots. Yet visits last an average of a mere six hours, and the highway has replaced the Boardwalk as the city's most important street. Bryant Simon does far more than tell a nostalgic tale of Atlantic City's rise near death, and reincarnation. He turns the depiction of middleclass people with leisure time and disposable income, into a discussion of the limits of this public space. During the city's heyday, African Americans were kept off the Boardwalk and away from the beaches, and the improperly dressed were kept out by ushers and the police. The making...

The House in Good Taste

After ninety years, "The House in Good Taste" by America's "first lady of interior decoration," Elsie de Wolfe, still offers timeless design advice.
Compiled from her articles in newspapers and magazines and first published in 1914, "The House in Good Taste" is a seminal book on interior design with ideas that have lasted a century because they influenced not only the wealthy clients of Park Avenue and Palm Beach, but popular taste as well.
De Wolfe advised Americans to shun ostentation and clutter in favor of simplicity, to dismantle the draperies in order to let in the light, and to replace garish colors with beige and ivory. "I believe in plenty of optimism and white paint," she declared, "comfortable chairs with lights beside them, open fires on the hearth and flowers wherever they 'belong, ' mirrors and sunshine in all rooms." The rooms that Americans inhabited in the middle of the twentieth century still today owe much to de Wolfe's tastes. The House in Good Taste

Op to Pop: Furniture of the 1960s by Cara Greenberg, ISBN 0821225162

From Joe Colombo's "kitchen in a cart" to Olivier Mourgue's Djinn chairs from 2001: A Space Odyssey, from the lipstickted touch shaped like Marilyn Monroe's lips to Eero Aarnio's space-age Ball chair, sixties furniture still has the power to statle and to delight. Op to Pop is a thorough guide whose original, readable scholarship places sixties furnishings in their social and design contexts, sorting the good from the fad and providing names, dates, and other documentation. From fashion to film, the sixties refuse to fade away and for good reason, as Greenberg proves. A fun, colorful survey of the design of the decade, Op to Pop will enthrall those who lived through the sixties as well as those who are discovering those years a new.
