Originally published in the early 1900s, this book evokes memories of the halcyon time of boyhood in an era where a boy's hobby played a large part in the development of his character. 'A man or a boy without a hobby is like a vessel without a keel - he lacks just that which will keep his mind well balanced.' This is no more relevant than today in an electronic age.Contents Include: THE WORKSHOP AT HOME: Carpentry and Joinery The Boy's Own Den How to Make a School Box with Secret Compartments How to Make a Puzzle Box How to Make a Willy Wizard's Table A Novel Photo-Frame A Home-Made Boomerang How to Make a Flagstaff An Automatic Fountain How to Make a Model Opera-House Model Air Craft Model Boats How to Make a Submarine Boat A Wooden "Steam-Engine" How to Make and Work a Scenic Railway A Miniature Mill The Bicycle Blondin A Handy Motor Car The Wonders of a Jack-Knife INDOOR HOBBIES: Black and White Drawing Bent-Iron Work Fretwork Wood-Carving Bamboo Carpentry Poker-Work Repousse Work Book and Periodical Binding How to Make a Simple Stencil Photography How to Patent an Invention How to Make a Hectograph Leaf Skeletons Taxidermy Pebbles, and How to Polish Them Secrets of Science Advertisement-Writing COLLECTING Coin Collecting Stamp Collecting Autographs Birds' Egg Collecting The Collecting of Butterflies and Moths The Making of a Botanical Collection How to Form a Home Museum OUTDOOR HOBBIES Scouting Simple Surveying Walking Astronomy Out and About With a Geological Hammer Camping Caravanning Grass and Snow Toboggans Cycling and Cycle Repairs Motor Cycling What Every Boy Should Know About Railways What Every Boy Should Know About The Sea THE KEEPING OF PETS How To Make an Aviary How to Make a Fresh WaterKeywords: Carpentry And Joinery Early 1900s Model Boats Craft Model Model Air Secret Compartments Indoor Hobbies Steam Engine Lacks Puzzle Box Scenic Railway Age Contents Jack Knife Air Craft Fretwork Blondin Photo Frame Halcyon Boyhood Well Balanced

Whether it's needlepoint or woodworking, collecting stamps or dolls, everyone has a hobby, or is told they need one. But why do we fill our leisure time with the activities we do? And what do our hobbies say about our culture? Steven Gelber here traces the history and significance of hobbies from the mid-nineteenth century through the 1950s. Although hobbies are often touted as a break from work, Gelber demonstrates that they reflect and reproduce the values and activities of the workplace by bringing utilitarian rationality into the home, imitating the economic stratification of the marketplace, and reinforcing traditional gender roles. Drawing on a wide array of social and cultural theory, Hobbies fills a critical gap in American cultural history and provides a compelling new perspective on the meaning of leisure.

The Defining Decade for the #Adulting generation—a book that blends storytelling and data to unpack the choices you make in your twenties, why they matter, and how to turn those critical years into a launchpad for the life you want. We tend to think of our twenties as a playground for life: A time for low-consequence experimentation and delaying big decisions. But the truth is that while you’re muddling through those years—exploring new cities, dating the wrong people, hopping between jobs—a small shift in your flight path can mean the difference between landing on Mars or Saturn. As the data shows, the choices we make (or put off) during this critical decade about our career, marriage, health, friends, even downtime have the greatest impact on how our lives play out. For example, did you know that people who marry between the ages of 28 and 32 have the lowest risk of divorce? And that the average 25 year old has 20 close friends, but this will shrink to 8 after age 40? And that most of us don’t acquire new hobbies after we hit our thirties? Rather than prescribing one correct path (who are we kidding, there’s no such thing anyway!), Elizabeth Segran invites readers to think critically and holistically about the life they want to build. With signature warmth and humor, Segran is the guide we all wish we had to show us the way. Blending insightful anecdotes with research from economics, sociology, and political science, The Rocket Years is an empowering exploration of these exciting, confusing, wonderful years.
