Rejuvenile
Author: Christopher Noxon
Publisher: Crown
ISBN: 1400080894
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 290
Book Description
Once upon a time, boys and girls grew up and set aside childish things. Nowadays, moms and dads skateboard alongside their kids and download the latest pop-song ringtones. Captains of industry pose for the cover of BusinessWeek holding Super Soakers. The average age of video game players is twenty-nine and rising. Top chefs develop recipes for Easy-Bake Ovens. Disney World is the world’s top adult vacation destination (that’s adults without kids). And young people delay marriage and childbirth longer than ever in part to keep family obligations from interfering with their fun fun fun. Christopher Noxon has coined a word for this new breed of grown-up: rejuveniles. And as a self-confessed rejuvenile, he’s a sympathetic yet critical guide to this bright and shiny world of people who see growing up as “winding down”—exchanging a life of playful flexibility for anxious days tending lawns and mutual funds. In Rejuvenile, Noxon explores the historical roots of today’s rejuveniles (hint: all roads lead to Peter Pan), the “toyification” of practical devices (car cuteness is at an all-time high), and the new gospel of play. He talks to parents who love cartoons more than their children do, twenty-somethings who live happily with their parents, and grown-ups who evangelize on behalf of all-ages tag and Legos. And he takes on the “Harrumphing Codgers,” who see the rejuvenile as a threat to the social order. Noxon tempers stories of his and others’ rejuvenile tendencies with cautionary notes about “lost souls whose taste for childish things is creepy at best.” (Exhibit A: Michael Jackson.) On balance, though, he sees rejuveniles as optimists and capital-R Romantics, people driven by a desire “to hold on to the part of ourselves that feels the most genuinely human. We believe in play, in make believe, in learning, in naps. And in a time of deep uncertainty, we trust that this deeper, more adaptable part of ourselves is our best tool of survival.” Fresh and delightfully contrarian, Rejuvenile makes hilarious sense of this seismic culture change. It’s essential reading not only for grown-ups who refuse to “act their age,” but for those who wish they would just grow up.

Uphill One Way
Author: Raymond L. Dykens
Publisher: iUniverse
ISBN: 1532050623
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 166
Book Description
The distance from Raymond Dykens’s house to his one-room schoolhouse in Jasper County, Missouri, was less than two miles with a climb of exactly twenty-four feet. As a result, there is no disputing that Raymond walked uphill one way to school every day. In a delightful collection of anecdotes that include recollections by his brothers and fascinating photographs, Raymond shares true experiences from 1947 through 1956 that reveal what it was like to learn in a one-room country school that included teachings not only at his desk but also outside the classroom. His colorful stories detail many life lessons learned from eating possum grapes and green apples, riding his horse to school, sharing an outhouse with a seasonal black snake and a few black widow spiders, listening to the same story about Dick and Jane and a dog named Spot, overcoming a stuttering problem with help from a compassionate and determined teacher, and committing a crime that caused him to spend an afternoon with his nose firmly planted within a ring drawn on the blackboard. Uphill One Way shares a retired educator’s childhood learning experiences that highlight the value of the one-room country school and its impact on America and the public school system.
