Agriculture and Meatpacking details the shift of agriculture from family farms and local trade to mass production and agribusiness, sparking the development of a full range of farm machinery and spawning the rise of a new metropolis practically overnight.

"By the late nineteenth century, Americans rich and poor had come to expect high-quality fresh beef with almost every meal. Beef production in the United States had gone from small-scale, localized operations to a highly centralized industry spanning the country, with cattle bred on ranches in the rural West, slaughtered in Chicago, and consumed in the nation's rapidly growing cities. Red Meat Republic tells the remarkable story of the violent conflict over who would reap the benefits of this new industry and who would bear its heavy costs"--
The Industrial Revolution transformed life in the United States from the way we eat, to the way we learn and communicate. This nine volume set "follows America's journey from the introduction of steam-powered engines to the emergence of the automobile. Each volume examines the role of a specific industry in the ascension of the United States to a position of global power in the 19th and early 20th centuries. Together, these volumes provide an unprecedented examination of a remarkable era, a time when America's corporate practices, politics, and culture--as well as the daily lives of its workers, families, and communities--were changed forever."--The back cover of v. 9 Overview/comparison.
"King Coal is a 1917 novel by Upton Sinclair that describes the poor working conditions in the coal mining industry in the western United States during the 1910s, from the perspective of a single protagonist, Hal Warner"--OCLC.
Life is louder than words can ever express because, from a biblical point of view, the world is broken by humanity’s rebellion against its creator. Humanity is fragmented: all the offspring of Adam and Eve are born loving death. That is something that the modern age has tried to ignore and the postmodern age longs to embrace. More to the point, it is something that the church has tried to forget. However, we do so at our own peril. This work is a snapshot of the development of fragmentation in the Western world. It is also a map toward wholeness. We cannot move forward if we do not know where we are or where we are going. This searching for heart in a heartless world is an attempt to locate where we are on the map of history by examining the past through the corrective lenses of living faith so that we may be able to teach our children to have hope in hopeless times.
A set of books on the Industrial Revolution, these comprehensive volumes cover the history of steam shipping, iron and steel production, and railroads-three interrelated enterprises that helped shift the Industrial Revolution into overdrive.
Winner of the 2014 Robert W. Peterson Award for Excellence in Negro League Research from the Jerry Malloy Negro League Conference, sponsored by Negro Leagues Committee of the Society for American Baseball Research Roberta J. Newman and Joel Nathan Rosen have written an authoritative social history of the Negro Leagues. This book examines how the relationship between black baseball and black businesses functioned, particularly in urban areas with significant African American populations—Chicago, Detroit, Indianapolis, Kansas City, Newark, New York, Philadelphia, and more. Inextricably bound together by circumstance, these sports and business alliances faced destruction and upheaval. Once Jackie Robinson and a select handful of black baseball’s elite gained acceptance in Major League Baseball and financial stability in the mainstream economy, shock waves traveled throughout the black business world. Though the economic impact on Negro League baseball is perhaps obvious due to its demise, the impact on other black-owned businesses and on segregated neighborhoods is often undervalued if not outright ignored in current accounts. There have been many books written on great individual players who played in the Negro Leagues and/or integrated the Major Leagues. But Newman and Rosen move beyond hagiography to analyze what happens when a community has its economic footing undermined while simultaneously being called upon to celebrate a larger social progress. In this regard, Black Baseball, Black Business moves beyond the diamond to explore baseball’s desegregation narrative in a critical and wide-ranging fashion.
