Before skyscrapers forever transformed the landscape of the modern metropolis, the conveyance that made them possible had to be created. Invented in New York in the 1850s, the elevator became an urban fact of life on both sides of the Atlantic by the early twentieth century. While it may at first glance seem a modest innovation, it had wide-ranging effects, from fundamentally restructuring building design to reinforcing social class hierarchies by moving luxury apartments to upper levels, previously the domain of the lower classes. The cramped elevator cabin itself served as a reflection of life in modern growing cities, as a space of simultaneous intimacy and anonymity, constantly in motion. In this elegant and fascinating book, Andreas Bernard explores how the appearance of this new element changed notions of verticality and urban space. Transforming such landmarks as the Waldorf-Astoria and Ritz Tower in New York, he traces how the elevator quickly took hold in large American cities while gaining much slower acceptance in European cities like Paris and Berlin. Combining technological and architectural history with the literary and cinematic, Bernard opens up new ways of looking at the elevator--as a secular confessional when stalled between floors or as a recurring space in which couples fall in love. Rising upwards through modernity, Lifted takes the reader on a compelling ride through the history of the elevator.

In The Cow in the Elevator Tulasi Srinivas explores a wonderful world where deities jump fences and priests ride in helicopters to present a joyful, imaginative, yet critical reading of modern religious life. Drawing on nearly two decades of fieldwork with priests, residents, and devotees, and her own experience of living in the high-tech city of Bangalore, Srinivas finds moments where ritual enmeshes with global modernity to create wonder—a feeling of amazement at being overcome by the unexpected and sublime. Offering a nuanced account of how the ruptures of modernity can be made normal, enrapturing, and even comical in a city swept up in globalization's tumult, Srinivas brings the visceral richness of wonder—apparent in creative ritual in and around Hindu temples—into the anthropological gaze. Broaching provocative philosophical themes like desire, complicity, loss, time, money, technology, and the imagination, Srinivas pursues an interrogation of wonder and the adventure of writing true to its experience. The Cow in the Elevator rethinks the study of ritual while reshaping our appreciation of wonder's transformative potential for scholarship and for life.

Most Australians look at politicians with disdain, but they continue to expect government to solve their problems. Concerns include a social breakdown, an approaching climate calamity, loss of genetic diversity, world overpopulation, economic stagnation, and a loss of manufacturing jobs. Eric Gribble, who has spent his life in New Zealand and Australia, explores why Australians do not embrace personal empowerment and responsibility. More importantly, he reveals a new model that will allow Australians and others to solve complex problems. This decentralized model would empower individuals and acknowledge that government doesnt have all the answers. It would also give people the insights they need to take advantage of business opportunities, increase demand by curbing government handouts, enact sound economic policies, and create a level playing field for Australian businesses. By rediscovering the principles of personal empowerment, personal responsibility, and self-reliance, we can start Placing Australians on a Fast Elevator to the Future.

Have you ever ridden on an elevator with a group of strangers and wondered how each of them came to be there? What story brought them to the elevator at just this moment in time? And where will their story go when they leave? As the lawyer, a tired old cynic, waits for the elevator to take him up to yet another court appearance, various others on their way to court join him. Each has stories that are fascinating and tragic, while touched with a raw humor. From the elderly woman trying to pick up the pieces of her grandchildren's broken lives to the self-sacrifice of a young veteran, readers discover the histories that brought each of the characters to this courthouse elevator. It is a tale of lives that briefly intersect before continuing down their own paths, and it is a story that resonates in the hearts of us all. Author Ricardo T. Cox, Esquire, is an attorney living in Tampa, Florida. Publisher's website: http: //www.strategicpublishinggroup.com/title/ShareTheElevator.html
