Описание:
More than any other labor victory of the 1930s, the emergence of the Steel Workers' Organizing Committee symbolized the rise of organized labor to a position of power in the United States. Yet, as the contributors to this volume demonstrate, the unionization of the steel industry, and most notably the role of SWOC and Philip Murray in that process, has received far less attention than it deserves.
Beginning with a discussion of why the unionization of steel has been relatively neglected by labor historians, the contributors to this volume analyze early organizing efforts in steel, the major transformations wrought and felt by the union, and the character of the union members and leaders. Critical throughout is discussion of the role of Philip Murray in shaping the United Steelworkers of America into one of the premier economic, social, and political institution of the war years and beyond.

Описание: The definitive, "investigative" biography of jazz legend Dave Brubeck, best known for "Take Five," told with exclusive, extensive access to the late musician. In 2003, music journalist Philip Clark was granted unparalleled access to jazz legend Dave Brubeck. For ten days he shadowed the Dave Brubeck Quartet during an extended British tour, recording an epic interview with the bandleader that touched on all aspects of his career. Brubeck opened up as never before, talking about his unique and personal approach to jazz; the heady days of his 1950s and '60s "classic" quartet, when there was no more popular group in jazz; hanging out with Duke Ellington, Charlie Parker, Louis Armstrong, and Miles Davis; and the many controversies that had dogged his career. That career, beginning in 1946 after a stint in the army, lasted until shortly before Brubeck's death in 2012, a day shy of his 92nd birthday. Alongside much beloved figures like Miles Davis, Ella Fitzgerald, and Louis Armstrong, Brubeck's music had achieved name recognition beyond jazz. But finding a convincing fit for Brubeck's legacy, one that reconciles his mass popularity with the techniques and sound of his music, has largely eluded jazz writers and critics. A Life in Time asks why the informed critical consensus that would normally have coalesced around such a senior figure creating viable art in a black medium has, in this case, noticeably failed to materialize. Structured around Clark's extended interview and intensive new research, A Life in Time tells one of the last untold stories of jazz, unearthing the secret history of "Take Five" and many hitherto unknown aspects of Brubeck's early career. Woven through the story are cameo appearances from a host of unlikely figures from Sting, Ray Manzarek of The Doors and Keith Emerson to John Cage, Harry Partch and Edgard Var se. Each chapter explores a different theme or aspect of Brubeck's life and music, illuminating the core of Dave Brubeck's artistry and genius. To quote Barack Obama when conferring Kennedy Center Honors on the musician in 2009: "You can't understand America without understanding jazz, and you can't understand jazz without understanding Dave Brubeck."

Описание: Philip A. Harland and Richard Last consider the economics of early Christian group life within its social, cultural and economic contexts, by drawing on extensive epigraphic and archaeological evidence. In exploring the informal associations, immigrant groups, and guilds that dotted the world of the early Christians, Harland and Last provide fresh perspective on the question of how Christian assemblies and Judean/Jewish gatherings gained necessary resources to pursue their social, religious, and additional aims.
By considering both neglected archaeological discoveries and literary evidence, the authors analyse financial and material aspects of group life, both sources of income and various areas of expenditure. Harland and Last then turn to the use of material resources for mutual support of members in various groups, including the importance of burial and the practice of interest-free loans. Christian and Judean evidence is explored throughout this book, culminating in a discussion of texts detailing the internal financial life of Christian assemblies as seen in first and second century sources, including Paul, the Didache, Justin Martyr, and Tertullian. In shedding new light on early Christian financial organisation, this volume aids further understanding of how some Christian groups survived and developed in the Greco-Roman world.
