Social climbing is not at all like the sport (mountain climbing) from which it gets its name. Climbing mountains is an individual endeavor: man versus nature (and himself). As this droll book points out, not so, social climbing. It is a full-contact activity, and blood will be spilled. The author compares it to bull fighting, with the matador in the role of climber who must use a shiny object (the red cloak) to attract the bull, a.k.a., the social arbiter. The book reviews the “shiny objects” the climber has at his or her disposal—tennis, bridge, charm, sexual attraction, etc., offering tongue-in-check suggestions about how to use them effectively. The final section is a test in which the reader answers a series of questions to learn how effective of a climber he or she is likely to be.

“Fame, adventure and wealth are the handmaidens of successful social climbing. Those who would choose love, security and health are impostors and have no right to even read this book.”

Among the best!
The only automatic wine opener I found with five stars. Used it daily since purchased and agree (thus far) it has earned every one of them. I have several bottles with stubborn corks that challenge every manual opener I've had. This tool handles them with ease. Especially neat is the way it "spits out" the cork after extraction. Very attractively and well packaged. Add a little gift paper and you're set. (Daily use since purchased and not even close to needing to be charged).

Nice features
I have only had this item a few weeks. But I like it very much. It’s better than the one it replaced. I like that I only have to press and release the button to pull out the cork and then it releases the cork automatically. Only charged once so far and is still fully charged. Also a blue LED is lit when cork is being removed and a red LED is lit when it is releasing the cork.
