| Publisher Description: Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The World's Fair came to Chicago in 1893 and was slated to celebrate the strides America had made since Christopher Columbus discovered the land 400 years earlier. The combination of the greatest minds of the 19th century led to an event that still has influence in modern society. This book examines the Exposition's push for urban beautification through landscape architecture and the technology of consumer goods. Project Webster represents a new publishing paradigm, allowing disparate content sources to be curated into cohesive, relevant, and informative books. To date, this content has been curated from Wikipedia articles and images under Creative Commons licensing, although as Project Webster continues to increase in scope and dimension, more licensed and public domain content is being added. We believe books such as this represent a new and exciting lexicon in the sharing of human knowledge. |
