Описание: New paperback edition with an introduction by Robert B. ReichMonongah: The Tragic Story of the 1907 Monongah Mine Disaster documents the events and conditions that led to the worst industrial accident in the history of the United States. This mining accident claimed hundreds of lives on the morning of December 6, 1907 and McAteer, an expert on mine and workplace health and safety, delves deeply into the economic forces and social-political landscape of the mining communities of north central West Virginia to expose the truth behind this tragedy. After nearly thirty years of exhaustive research, McAteer determines that close to 500 men and boys - many of them immigrants - lost their lives that day, leaving hundreds of women widowed and more than one thousand children orphaned. The tragedy at Monongah led to a greater awareness of industrial working conditions, and ultimately to the Federal Coal Mine Health and Safety Act of 1969, which McAteer helped to enact. This new paperback edition includes an introduction by Robert B. Reich, Chancellor's Professor of Public Policy at the University of California at Berkeley and Secretary of Labor during the Clinton administration.

Moving from troubled west Ireland to a Baltimore just recovering from WWI and from the apogee of the Spanish Flu epidemic, this story of Danny and Helen, on the run after a horrifying personal attack by a handful of British soldiers, manages to be both rollicking and tragic as the couple experiences the aftermaths of their trauma. Richly evocative of life in Baltimore as lived by recent immigrants to the city-- a city which is home to many Irish families but at the same time highly suspicious of new immigrants. Major and minor characters including Women's Suffragists, Hasidic Jews, a Black dock worker, a troubled priest, a troubled butcher, a troubled detective, and the entirely untroubled teenage hoodlum self-christened Emperor of Napoleon Street, join the young couple and their the twin boys to populate this fast-paced story. The novel's title, Tell me what I want to hear, takes on many different meanings as the novel progresses from adventure to adventure, from mayhem to death and back--and perhaps redemption.

A mini source-book on the roots and prevailing features of the contemporary capitalist political economy, Class Talk – Communications Unbound outlines the alternative of economically viable, politically robust and socio-culturally inclusive democratic socialism fit for the 21st Century and beyond. Tracing politico-economic and socio-cultural exploitative behaviours to historical antecedents of feudalism, slavery and colonialism, it defines the age of capitalism, examines the dismantling of the Post-Second World War politico-economic consensus, outlines shareholder control of the corporate, banking and communications systems and details the global privatization of public services and the worldwide burgeoning of commercial rentierism.
The book makes visible the web of connections between matters of immense public concern: climate catastrophe and capitalist profiteering, foreign policy and terrorism, the housing crises and the global banking cartel, education systems and politico-economic divisiveness. It signposts the discussions, debates, solidarity and organisational activism in which the poor and workingclass majority must engage if societies are to be built and maintained for the common good.
