Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. During World War I, the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW) rose to prominence as an effective, militant union and then was destroyed by a devastating campaign of repression launched by the federal government. Eric Thomas Chester's The Wobblies in Their Heyday documents the rise and fall of this important industrial labor organization. The Industrial Workers of the World--or "Wobblies," as they were known--included legendary figures from U.S. labor history. Joe Hill, "Big Bill" Haywood, and Elizabeth Gurley Flynn have become a part of American popular folklore. In his new book, Chester shows just how dynamic a force the IWW was in its heyday during World War I, and how determined the federal government was to crush this union--a campaign of repression that remains unique in U.S. history. This work utilizes a wide array of archival sources, many of them never used before, thereby giving readers a clearer view and better understanding of what actually happened. Based on extensive archival research, The Wobblies in their Heyday looks at the union during the World War I era when it was able to organize militant strikes that drastically curtailed production in key industries, copper mining and lumber. It also looks at the debates within the union on how to build a broadly based movement to oppose the war.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. The commons is an ancient social form that has survived for centuries, constantly renewing itself. It can be seen in indigenous agriculture and community forests, Bolivian water committees and high-tech FabLabs, theater commons and the Burning Man festival. Commoners are taking charge of their lives through networks that are designing open-source farm equipment.alternative currencies that are reviving troubled neighborhoods in Kenya.and collaborative maps that are helping build a new economy.What accounts for the persistence and spread of "commoning," the irrepressible desire of people to collaborate and share to meet everyday needs? How are the more successful projects governed? And why are so many people embracing the commons as a powerful strategy for building a fair, humane and Earth-respecting social order?In more than fifty original essays, Patterns of Commoning addresses these questions and probes the complexities of this timeless social paradigm.

PAPERBACK, attractive copy, very good with some light wear from gentle reading. INSCRIBED on half-title page to two recipients with first names only and a short inscription, and best regards, and SIGNED Lee Elman. VIGELAND, CARL A. The Great Romance: The Sun Returns, Time Never. Amherst, Mass.: Levellers Press, 2015, 149pp., . At once a portrait of a singular man and the story of a unique place, The Great Romance recounts the extraordinary life of Lee Elman, a lawyer turned real estate investor, longtime patron of the arts, public servant, bon vivant, expert horseman, accomplished mountain climber, polyglot, devoted father, and lover of all thingsand peoplebeautiful. Set at Aston Magna, Elman's historic estate in the Berkshires of Great Barrington, Massachusetts, The Great Romance articulates a philosophy of life that is rooted in an existential resolve to create meaning and a humanistic ardor to make every moment matter. Here, as well, we follow the story of a friendship that leads, finally, to the transformation of what for the author had been a lingering sadness. And we meet many of the men and women with whom Elman has worked, played, and together embraced the motto sculpted on the ancient sacrificial altar that stands by Aston Magna's outdoor pool: "Sol redit, tempus nunquam" "the sun returns, time never.".
