  Against the backdrop of the extraordinary history of Great Lakes shipping, Too Much Sea for Their Decks chronicles shipwrecked schooners, wooden freighters, early steel-hulled steamers, whalebacks, and bulk carriers all lost in the frigid waters of Lake Superior. 
   
   
   
  Included are compelling accounts of vessels destined for infamy, such as that of the Stranger, a slender wooden schooner swallowed by the lake in 1875; an account of the whaleback Wilson, rammed by a large commercial freighter in broad daylight and in calm seas; and the mysterious loss of the Kamloops, a package freighter that went down in a storm and whose sailors were found on the Isle Royale the following spring, having escaped the wreck only to die of exposure on the island. Then there is the ill-fated Steinbrenner, plagued by bad luck from the time of her construction to her eventual sinking in 1953. These tales and more represent loss of life and property—and are haunting stories of brave and heroic crews. 
   
   
   
  Arranged chronologically and presented in three sections covering Minnesota's North Shore, Isle Royale, and the three biggest storms in Minnesota's Great Lakes history (the 1905 Mataafa storm, the 1913 hurricane on the lakes, and the 1940 Armistice Day storm), each shipwreck documented within provides a piece to the history of shipping on Lake Superior.

  Physicians for the People chronicles the remarkable stories of 241 Black doctors who practiced medicine in Alabama during the Jim Crow era. Historian Jack D. Ellis reveals the ingenuity and resilience of these trailblazing doctors who defied segregation by establishing hospitals and clinics and providing vital healthcare to underserved Black communities. 
   
  This meticulously researched work draws on archival sources, oral histories, and an unparalleled database to dismantle the myth of a monolithic medical system in the Jim Crow South. Jack D. Ellis argues that the post–Civil War lives of Black physicians, dentists, pharmacists, nurses, and midwives hold special significance, illuminating both the causes of health care disparities among African Americans and the reasons for their continued underrepresentation in the medical professions. 
   
  Offering much of interest to students and scholars of Black history, medical history, and the civil rights movement, Physicians for the People exposes the deliberate exclusion faced by Black doctors within the white medical establishment and their ongoing fight for racial equality in medicine.

  This book bundle explores the intricate web of human thought, behavior, and social organization. By combining three powerful disciplines—Sociology, Ethnology, and Anthropology—this volume offers a comprehensive understanding of how individuals relate to one another, how cultures form and function, and how human societies evolve. 
  In Sociology, readers investigate the structure of societies, the influence of institutions, and the dynamics of groups and relationships. This section delves into topics like class systems, social norms, urbanization, education, and inequality, revealing how societal forces shape our everyday lives and collective decisions. 
  Ethnology, a branch of anthropology, compares and analyzes cultures across the globe. It seeks patterns in traditions, languages, rituals, and social roles, uncovering what connects humanity while celebrating what makes each culture unique. From kinship systems to religious beliefs, ethnology paints a portrait of human diversity and shared heritage. 
  Finally, Anthropology offers a broader view of human beings throughout history, studying physical traits, prehistoric origins, and cultural practices. It combines biological, archaeological, linguistic, and cultural perspectives to understand what it means to be human—both in ancient times and in modern societies. 
  Whether you're a student of social sciences or simply curious about humanity’s rich cultural landscape, this book equips you with foundational knowledge to better grasp the forces that shape human behavior, identity, and interaction.
