Sinopse

In "Coal and the Coal Mines," Homer Greene delivers a meticulously researched exploration of the coal industry, intertwining historical narratives with socio-economic analyses. Greene's literary style is characterized by a blend of detailed exposition and compelling storytelling, offering readers a vivid picture of coal mining's evolution, its technological advancements, and the profound impact on American society from the Industrial Revolution to contemporary times. The book stands apart by integrating firsthand accounts from miners, emphasizing their lived experiences, while also critiquing the environmental and social costs associated with coal extraction, thus situating the work within broader literary and historical contexts of labor and capital. Homer Greene, an esteemed historian and environmental scholar, draws upon his extensive background in industrial history and personal connections to mining communities to illuminate the complexities of coal mining. His commitment to uncovering the realities faced by workers in this industry reflects his own familial ties to the labor movement and a deep-seated passion for social justice. Greene's previous works have established him as a critical voice in environmental discourse, and this book builds upon his expertise by traversing the intersections of industry, labor struggles, and environmental ethics. "Coal and the Coal Mines" is essential reading for those interested in labor history, environmental studies, and industrial development. Greene's comprehensive examination is not only thought-provoking but also serves as a vital reminder of the ongoing debates surrounding energy policies and the legacy of coal in contemporary society. I highly recommend this book for students, scholars, and anyone seeking a deeper understanding of coal's extensive role in shaping both the past and present of American life.

    Immigrants are people who have moved to new countries in order to settle as permanent residents or naturalized citizens. This valuable resource is primarily for them; especially those having doubts about their potentials and entrepreneurial skills, and applying the advantages in their new locations. 
    Give a man (or a woman) a fish and you feed him for a day;  
    Teach a man (or a woman) to fish and you feed him for a lifetime;  
    What about the man or woman owning a pond or two containing fishes? 
    This book provides exclusive insights into Migrapreneurs (migrants + entrepreneurship), the who, what, why, and how. It will inform, inspire, and challenge readers to courageously exploit the advantages of their diversity in the context of entrepreneurship and business. They can take charge of their destinies by creating robust options while depending less on the already challenged economic and social welfare systems in the new countries. 
    Before you start reading, please prepare your mind for a journey that requires discipline and focus. What this book offers you is a path most immigrants don’t take due to can’t-do mindset, scarcity mentality, fear of the unknown, and lack of appropriate support. Reading this book, and taking prescribed actions, will assuredly provide you with a trigger for getting on the path to greatness.
