In the blink of an eye, a man is literally blown into a new existence as The Reaper. Ninety-nine years later, The Reaper is looking forward to retirement in a cabin on Lake Fish-a-Plenty. But first, he must get through his last day with Death Corporation, collecting the souls of twelve people who are not expecting him. As his final day on the job begins, The Reaper wonders if he will ever have the guts to ask out Debbie, from accounting. He is first presented with a golden scythe and then surprisingly given an interesting final assignment a hostage crisis. By one o'clock in the afternoon, The Reaper already knows a big event is going to impact many in the city. As events begin to go down at a local bank, he keeps himself busy by testing the waters with Debbie and collecting Daniel, a Yale recruit who suffers sunstroke, and Emmie, a circus performer who loses her life to a tiger attack. By the time the clock strikes midnight, an intense hostage situation has played out, The Reaper's love life has been decided, and twelve souls have changed forever.

The American Reaper
Author: Dr Gordon M Winder
Publisher: Ashgate Publishing, Ltd.
ISBN: 1409483002
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 288
Book Description
The American Reaper adopts a network approach to account for the international diffusion of harvesting technology from North America, from the invention of the reaper through to the formation of a dominant transnational corporation, International Harvester. Much previous historical research into industrial networks focuses on industrial districts within metropolitan centres, but by focusing on harvesting - a typically rural technology - this book is able to analyse the spread of technological knowledge through a series of local networks and across national boundaries. In doing so it argues that the industry developed through a relatively stable stage from the 1850s into the 1890s, during which time many firms shared knowledge within and outside the US through patent licensing, to spread the diffusion of the American style of machines to establishments located around the industrial world. This positive cooperation was further enhanced through sales networks that appear to be early expressions of managerial firms. The book also reinterprets the rise of giant corporations, especially International Harvester Corporation (IHC), arguing that mass production was achieved in Chicago in the 1880s, where unprecedented urban growth made possible a break with the constraints felt elsewhere in the dispersed production system. It unleashed an unchecked competitive market economy with destructive tendencies throughout the transnational 'American reaper' networks; a previously stable and expanding production system. This is significant because the rise of corporate capital in this industry is usually explained as an outworking of national natural advantage, as an ingenious harnessing of science and technology to solve production problems, and as a rational solution to the problems associated with the worst forms of unregulated competition that emerged as independent firms developed from small-scale, artisanal production to large-scale manufacturers, on their own and within the separate and isolated US economy. The first study dedicated to the development and diffusion of American harvesting machine technology, this book will appeal to scholars from a diverse range of fields, including economic history, business history, the history of knowledge transfer, historical geography and economic geography.
