The nineteenth century saw the American circus move from a reviled and rejected form of entertainment to the "Greatest Show on Earth." Circus Life by Micah D. Childress looks at this transition from the perspective of the people who owned and worked in circuses and how they responded to the new incentives that rapid industrialization made possible. The circus has long been a subject of fascination for many, as evidenced by the millions of Americans that have attended circus performances over many decades since 1870, when the circus established itself as a truly unique entertainment enterprise. Yet the few analyses of the circus that do exist have only examined the circus as its own closed microcosm--the "circus family." Circus Life, on the other hand, places circus employees in the larger context of the history of US workers and corporate America. Focusing on the circus as a business-entertainment venture, Childress pushes the scholarship on circuses to new depths, examining the performers, managers, and laborers' lives and how the circus evolved as it grew in popularity over time. Beginning with circuses in the antebellum era, Childress examines changes in circuses as gender balances shifted, industrialization influenced the nature of shows, and customers and crowds became increasingly more middle-class. As a study in sport and social history, Childress's account demonstrates how the itinerant nature of the circus drew specific types of workers and performers, and how the circus was internally in constant upheaval due to the changing profile of its patrons and a changing economy. MICAH D. CHILDRESS received his PhD in history from Purdue University and currently works as a Realtor® in Grand Rapids, Michigan. His articles have appeared in Popular Entertainment Studies and American Studies.

The disaffected son of a Thai aristocrat goes to study law in London in the early 1920s, only to fall in love with an English journalist and become a reporter. In England, France, the US, Japan and China, their work and his fear of poverty and cultural incompatibility conspire to keep them apart and their love unfulfilled. When his eyesight fails him, he returns to Siam broke and broken-hearted. The Circus of Life is the first important Thai novel, providing unusual glimpses of the western world and Asia between the wars. Written by a young prince adroitly mixing fact and fiction, it created a storm when it was published in 1929 (the author killed himself three years later at the age of 26). Thanks to its classic craftsmanship, fast pace, lively tone and themes of alienation, absurdity and injustice in life, this pioneering work of fiction remains astonishingly modern.

Gianluigi di Napoli gives the famous Medrano family circus a great entrance on the stage of his remarkable black-and- white photography, drawing us into the enchanting spot-lit world of the big top, full of the beauty and movement of the animals and the concentration of the artists. He invites us to take a look behind the scenes, at the hard work of rehearsal and the everyday life of the circus family. He shows us the emotions and human aspects of the life behind the glittering circus show. As the photographer himself says, "I wanted to capture the moment of preparation when the artiste is waiting to make an entrance and triumphally present his skills -- the moment when the body already has a rush of adrenaline, the lights are up, but the artiste is still standing in the dust". Di Napoli is a photographer of the highest order. Fascinating by the circus, he has managed to combine his formal strength and aesthetic eye with his sense of atmosphere and emotion. Among his images of sensuality and movement and his quiet portraits full of beauty, all the magic of the extraordinary circus world opens up before our eyes. A must for circus-lovers and sure to convert those who aren't yet.

Lee (Marilees) Stath, at the age of 88, sits quietly in the saddle of his custom built Desperado motorcycle. No longer doing “wheelies”, he is content pumping iron at the gym and on the other days tearing up the turf at Scott Schreiner, the local golf course at his adopted home in Kerrville, Texas. That still leaves too much time in the evenings remembering and missing Mary. But, he says, that is the best part of the day.
