  The Hobo: The Sociology Of The Homeless Man is a book written by Nels Anderson, which provides a comprehensive sociological study of the homeless population in America during the early 20th century. The book explores the lives and experiences of ""hobos"" - a term used to describe homeless men who traveled from place to place in search of work - and sheds light on the social and economic factors that led to their homelessness.Anderson's research is based on his own experiences living among the homeless population, as well as interviews with hundreds of hobos across the country. He examines the unique culture and social structures that developed within the hobo community, including their codes of conduct, language, and customs.The book also delves into the larger societal issues that contributed to the rise of homelessness during this time period, such as the Great Depression, industrialization, and the decline of traditional forms of work. Anderson argues that the hobo lifestyle was a response to these larger societal changes, and that understanding the hobo subculture is crucial to understanding the broader social and economic forces at play.Overall, The Hobo: The Sociology Of The Homeless Man is a groundbreaking work that provides a nuanced and empathetic look at the lives of homeless men during a tumultuous period in American history. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the sociology of homelessness, as well as anyone interested in the history of American society and culture.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

  Babe Ruth and Ty Cobb: The Lives...

  As one of America’s oldest and most beloved sports, baseball has long been touted as the national pastime, but of all the millions of people who have played it over the last few centuries, the first name that many associate with Major League Baseball is Babe Ruth, whose career spanned over 20 years on the way to becoming the sport’s biggest legend. The Bambino came onto the scene as a pitcher for the Boston Red Sox, only to be infamously sold to the rival New York Yankees, where he went on to set records for most home runs (714), runs batted in (2,213), walks (2,062), slugging percentage (.690), and on-base plus slugging (1.164). The Sultan of Swat’s records would take decades to be surpassed, but he also managed to win more than 20 games as a pitcher for Boston, along with three World Series before heading to New York. Boston wouldn’t win another championship for over 80 years after Ruth’s departure, a drought famously referred to as “The Curse of the Bambino.” 
  As if he wasn’t accomplished enough in Boston, Ruth went on to become a pop culture fixture in New York while playing 15 years for the Yankees on some of the sport’s most legendary teams. In addition to leading the Bronx Bombers to four World Series during his time there, Ruth set several single season and career records, elevating the team and MLB itself in ways that athletes could hardly dream of today.  
  	Few have influenced Major League Baseball like Ty Cobb, whose career spanned over 20 seasons. The Georgia Peach overcame early hardships to set nearly 100 MLB records in his time as a player and player-manager for the Detroit Tigers and Philadelphia Athletics. With an MVP and Triple Crown under his belt by the age of 25, Cobb went on to produce statistics that still lead MLB in several categories, including 4,065 combined runs scored and RBIs, a career batting average over .365, and at least 11 batting titles.
