Sinopse

Steel Empire explores the dramatic transformation of the United States into an industrial powerhouse through the lens of the American steel industry. During the Gilded Age, innovations like the Bessemer process enabled mass production, forever changing the economic and urban landscape. The book uniquely examines how figures like Andrew Carnegie, representing entrepreneurial vision, intersected with the often harsh realities faced by steelworkers, offering a balanced view of the era's unprecedented growth and social inequality. The book argues that the steel industry's success resulted from abundant resources, favorable government policies, and a relentless pursuit of efficiency. Early chapters detail the technological breakthroughs that facilitated mass production, followed by an analysis of industrial leaders and a dedicated examination of the lives and struggles of steelworkers. By connecting industrial history with economics, sociology, and urban planning, Steel Empire provides a comprehensive and accessible understanding of the forces that shaped modern America.

In the Company of Grace - A...

Jody Lulich

Rising to accept a prestigious award, Jody Lulich wondered what to say. Describe how caring for helpless, voiceless animals in his own shame and pain provided a lifeline, a chance to heal himself as well? Lulich tells his story in In the Company of Grace, a memoir about finding courage in compassion and strength in healing—and power in finally confronting the darkness of his youth. 
 
 
 
Lulich's white father and Black mother met at a civil rights rally, but love was no defense against their personal demons. His mother's suicide and his sometimes brutal father's subsequent withdrawal set Lulich on a course from the South Side of Chicago to the Tuskegee School of Veterinary Medicine in Alabama to an endowed chair at the University of Minnesota. Though shadowed by troubling secrets, his memoir also features scenes of surprising light and promise. Most consequentially, at Tuskegee Lulich rents a room in the home of a seventy-five-year-old Black woman named Grace, whose wholehearted adoption of him—and her own stories of the Jim Crow era—finally gives him a sense of belonging and possibility. 
 
 
 
Completing his book amid the furor over George Floyd's murder, Lulich reflects on all the ways that race has shaped his life. In the Company of Grace is a moving testament to the power of compassion in the face of seemingly overwhelming circumstances.
