Book Description
"What they’re saying about One Life or The Lives of Chester Knowles: ""...Surely it is a dubious literary device- a bit of an underhanded, indeed a chear trick - to use a reincarnation as the premise for a novel. But proving once again that he is above nothing, Mr. Baum seizes upon the idea of reincarnation and squeezes it for all it's worth in this strangely fascinating story about a Los Angeles architect. Chester Knowles, who dies and then somehow discovers himself in another man's body..."" ""...the dramatic twists and turns of Chester's new, second life take the reader on a psycho-philosophical, new-age crazy kind of roller coaster ride/odyssey that will actually have the poor reader howling and screaming for more..."" ""...Baum has created a gem, a tour-de-force of storytelling and literary craftmanship. We recommend this book highly. "

Mastering Iron
Author: Anne Kelly Knowles
Publisher: University of Chicago Press
ISBN: 0226448592
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 343
Book Description
Veins of iron run deep in the history of America. Iron making began almost as soon as European settlement, with the establishment of the first ironworks in colonial Massachusetts. Yet it was Great Britain that became the Atlantic world’s dominant low-cost, high-volume producer of iron, a position it retained throughout the nineteenth century. It was not until after the Civil War that American iron producers began to match the scale and efficiency of the British iron industry. In Mastering Iron, Anne Kelly Knowles argues that the prolonged development of the US iron industry was largely due to geographical problems the British did not face. Pairing exhaustive manuscript research with analysis of a detailed geospatial database that she built of the industry, Knowles reconstructs the American iron industry in unprecedented depth, from locating hundreds of iron companies in their social and environmental contexts to explaining workplace culture and social relations between workers and managers. She demonstrates how ironworks in Alabama, Maryland, Pennsylvania, and Virginia struggled to replicate British technologies but, in the attempt, brought about changes in the American industry that set the stage for the subsequent age of steel. Richly illustrated with dozens of original maps and period art work, all in full color, Mastering Iron sheds new light on American ambitions and highlights the challenges a young nation faced as it grappled with its geographic conditions.
