Pep: Poise -- Efficiency -- Peace


Book Description

"Thought-habit, will become fixed on Faith or Fear, and the result to the man is good or bad, accordingly. If your thought is fixed on Faith, in the greater meaning, you are invincible. If it is fixed on Fear, or its elder child, Worry, you stand helpless, weak, conquered and miserable. If I can, by suggestion, logic, example, proof, reason or humor get your thought habit fixed on Faith, and coach you to the understanding that will give you Poise, Efficiency, Peace, then I have done a thing well worth while."--Provided by author

If your thought is fixed on Faith, in the greater meaning, you are invincible. If it is fixed on Fear, or its elder child, Worry, you stand helpless, weak, conquered and miserable.

To that end, and with that purpose, I dedicate my services and this book to each of you who read it . WM. C. HUNTER June 10, 1914. I believe in Colonel Hunter's book --PEP! For that matter, so does Mr. Britton, but I write this "note" because I made myself over by applying Colonel Hunter's rules for thinking and living to my daily life. In 1909 I was a sick man, suffering from "nerves " and food-poisoning (auto-intoxication). I weighed less than 130 pounds -- although five feet nine inches tall. Every few weeks I would break down almost completely and my physician would advise a long vacation -- a trip to Europe or California or some other inexpensive little jaunt. Business and family cares prevented my being long away from the city and I would " pull through" with tonics and will-power. One day a friend persuaded me to consult his "food specialist." I did so. Under his advice I changed radically my diet. For eight months I ate no red meat and no white bread; I drank nothing whatever but water. Of water I drank PUBLISHER'S NOTE--Cont from fourteen to twenty-four glasses every twenty-four hours. I made myself a member of the " Don't Worry Club."

Approaches to American Cultural Studies


Book Description

Approaches to American Cultural Studies provides an accessible yet comprehensive overview of the diverse range of subjects encompassed within American Studies, familiarising students with the history and shape of American Studies as an academic subject as well as its key theories, methods, and concepts. Written and edited by an international team of authors based primarily in Europe, the book is divided into four thematically-organised sections. The first part delineates the evolution of American Studies over the course of the twentieth century, the second elaborates on how American Studies as a field is positioned within the wider humanities, and the third inspects and deconstructs popular tropes such as myths of the West, the self-made man, Manifest Destiny, and representations of the President of the United States. The fourth part introduces theories of society such as structuralism and deconstruction, queer and transgender theories, border and hemispheric studies, and critical race theory that are particularly influential within American Studies. This book is supplemented by a companion website offering further material for study (www.routledge.com/cw/dallmann). Specifically designed for use on courses across Europe, it is a clear and engaging introductory text for students of American culture.
