The Hamlet Fire
Author: Bryant Simon
Publisher: UNC Press Books
ISBN: 1469661373
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 320
Book Description
For decades, the small, quiet town of Hamlet, North Carolina, thrived thanks to the railroad. But by the 1970s, it had become a postindustrial backwater, a magnet for businesses in search of cheap labor and almost no oversight. Imperial Food Products was one of those businesses. The company set up shop in Hamlet in the 1980s. Workers who complained about low pay and hazardous working conditions at the plant were silenced or fired. But jobs were scarce in town, so workers kept coming back, and the company continued to operate with impunity. Then, on the morning of September 3, 1991, the never-inspected chicken-processing plant a stone's throw from Hamlet's city hall burst into flames. Twenty-five people perished that day behind the plant's locked and bolted doors. It remains one of the deadliest accidents ever in the history of the modern American food industry. Eighty years after the Triangle Shirtwaist Fire, industrial disasters were supposed to have been a thing of the past in the United States. However, as award-winning historian Bryant Simon shows, the pursuit of cheap food merged with economic decline in small towns across the South and the nation to devalue laborers and create perilous working conditions. The Hamlet fire and its aftermath reveal the social costs of antiunionism, lax regulations, and ongoing racial discrimination. Using oral histories, contemporary news coverage, and state records, Simon has constructed a vivid, potent, and disturbing social autopsy of this town, this factory, and this time that exposes how cheap labor, cheap government, and cheap food came together in a way that was destined to result in tragedy.

Book Description
Life is full of transitions. These transitions have to be addressed, shaped, processed and integrated into our lives in some way. Regardless of the belief in a God, traditional structures always come into view, here especially religiously traditional rites of passage such as baptism and circumcision, communion and bar mitzvah, marriage as well as convalescence, death and funeral rites. What is the psychological function of religiously traditional rites of passage today? This question will be investigated with the help of interactive interviews with functionaries and members of the religious communities of all three monotheistic currents in Northern Europe, flanked by two interviews with atheists.

The Will’s Harmonic Motion Fourth Edition
Author: Fadel Sabry
Publisher: Balboa Press
ISBN: 1982219734
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 372
Book Description
This book brings new ideas to philosophy. All philosophers start from previous ideas and build on or modify them; they use them as a foundation for new ideas or systems. Schopenhauer’s concept of the will and morality form the basis for this book. Sabry proved without any doubt that our moral character is assigned to us according to a specific, unalterable, and predictable system. He proved it scientifically and through daily observation of human behavior. He observed that moral characters change and move as a sine curve, i.e., harmonic motion. After establishing this groundbreaking theory of the Will’s Harmonic Motion, he extended it to cover and explain many topics including animals, pleasure, physical, and metaphysical actions, death, eternal justice, and salvation. The book outlines Sabry’s self-taught experience in meditation, which ended in the first stage of enlightenment, in just a few months. The book boldly reveals the mystery of existence, how the will started in the void and ejected itself to have physical experience. It created the world as a stage to perform its divine comedy. Then the will objectified itself as humans to purify itself from immoral deeds. To perform moral acts, the will created four characters, with matching intellects that change every lifetime. Every human being has his unique moral curve and must end up back in the void. The will governs the whole universe physically and morally, by the causal law, in which one side is physical causality and the other is eternal justice.

Ritual Healing in Suburban America
Author: Meredith B. McGuire
Publisher: Rutgers University Press
ISBN: 9780813513133
Category : Health & Fitness
Languages : en
Pages : 340
Book Description
Many Americans believe that people who practice folk healing are uneducated and too poor to afford conventional medical care. Contrary to this popular belief, Meredith McGuire finds that a large number of college-educated, middle-class suburbanites participate in a variety of nonmedical healing groups. In suburban New Jersey, people practice such diverse alternatives as psychic healing, New Age therapies, naturopathy, Christian Science, Transcendental Meditation, reflexology, acupuncture, yoga, Jain meditation, Therapeutic Touch, reflexology, shiatsu, rebirthing, and occult therapies. McGuire places these various healing groups into broader categories according to their traditional sources of inspiration and their beliefs about healing power. She then looks at the participants' diverse ideas about health and illness. By locating alternative healing in the context of these beliefs, she shows the many ways the adherents experience ritual healing. -- From publisher's description.
