Sinopse

Wool Spinning Life explores the central role of wool spinning in shaping family life, economic structures, and social hierarchies within historical pastoral societies. This work illuminates not only the technical aspects of textile production but also the intricate web of family contributions that sustained this vital industry. Readers will discover that wool spinning was more than just a cottage industry; it was a fundamental component of family economies and social fabrics. Additionally, the book highlights how societal expectations influenced the gendered division of labor, with women, children, and men each playing distinct roles in the process. 

 
The book adopts a bottom-up perspective, focusing on the family as the primary unit of analysis, thus offering a richer understanding of lived experiences. It progresses by first introducing wool spinning techniques and their historical context. Subsequent sections examine the gendered division of labor and the economic dimensions of wool spinning. A final section analyzes the social impacts, including its role in shaping community identities and social hierarchies. 

 
By delving into historical sources like census records and trade documents, the book paints a vivid picture of wool spinning's influence on social change.

    Washington - A Legacy of Leadership

    His name is carved in granite, his likeness cast in bronze, his legend as large as the role he played as America's first president. But before he was a commander-in-chief, George Washington was a general in a revolution that would decide the future of the people and land he called his own. If victorious, he would gain immortality. If defeated, he would find his neck in a hangman's noose. 
    Washington knew the sting of defeat—at Brandywine, at Germantown—yet this unwavering leadership and his vision for a new and independent nation emboldened an army prepared to fight barefoot if necessary to win that independence. Wrote an officer after the Battle of Princeton:  "I saw him brave all the dangers of the field and his important life hanging as it were by a single hair with a thousand deaths flying around him." 
    Among America's pantheon of Founding Fathers, one man to this day stands out.  Author Paul Vickery tracks the unlikely rise of Washington, a man whose stature in command of a young army became prelude to a presidency. As Vickery writes, "He learned to become the father of our country by first being the father of our military."

    This is a collection of Elizabeth Berg's most-loved Facebook posts. She was asked by many to put these short essays into book form, to create, as one reader said, something to "take to the beach, or bed, or on an airplane." Elizabeth and her friend, the book's designer Phyllis Florin, happily complied, and they hope that their offering will be as welcome as flowers in a mailbox.

    After a few moments of intense and unexplainable anxiety his junior year of high school, Kevin’s brain health issues began to get worse. Over the next two decades, he experienced unremitting anxiety and months-long battles with intense depression. 
    As a driven athlete and competitor, Kevin became obsessed with finding both the cause and the cure. In spite of the psychiatric community's insistence that a “diagnosis is forever” and “management is the best you can hope for,” Kevin kept searching for just one person who had been diagnosed with a “mental Illness” and recovered. 
    Meanwhile, his issues haunted him into early adulthood, leading to hospital stays and a suicide attempt that nearly ended it all. Open to trying any healing modality that offered the hope of a cure, Kevin tried 1,000s of therapies and drugs. “What’s wrong with me” became his mantra. “What’s wrong with me” became the echoing backdrop that was both driving his brain health condition and propelling him forward with an obsession to find answers.
