Sinopse

Sheep Shearing Work explores the often-overlooked history of wool production, focusing on the pivotal role of family labor in pastoral regions. It uncovers the social, economic, and familial structures that have supported this vital agricultural activity. The book highlights how advancements in sheep breeds, shearing technologies, and land management techniques have shaped the intensity and productivity of labor. It also challenges idealized views of pastoral life by revealing the demanding conditions and long hours endured by family members. 

 
The book argues that family labor, particularly the contributions of women and children, has been fundamental to successful wool harvesting. By using sources like historical documents, agricultural censuses, and oral histories, the book traces the evolution of wool production from early agrarian societies through the 19th and 20th centuries. It examines the social organization of wool production within pastoral families, analyzing roles, responsibilities, and the passing down of knowledge across generations. 

 
The book progresses by first detailing the practices of sheep shearing, then examining the social organization of wool production, and finally tracing the changing nature of family labor due to technology and market pressures. This approach offers a unique perspective, centering the experiences of pastoral families and shedding light on the often-invisible labor that sustains the global wool industry.

First Inaugural Address

Ronald Reagan

On January 20, 1981, Reagan began his first presidential inauguration address by thanking Carter for his “gracious cooperation in the transition process”. 
Reagan notes “one of the worst sustained inflations in our national history. It distorts our economic decisions, penalizes thrift, and crushes the struggling young and the fixed-income elderly alike.” “In this present crisis, government is not the solution to our problem; government is the problem.” 
“For decades we have piled deficit upon deficit, mortgaging our future and our children's future for the temporary convenience of the present.” “It is my intention to curb the size and influence of the Federal establishment and to demand recognition of the distinction between the powers granted to the Federal Government and those reserved to the States or to the people.” 
“If we look to the answer as to why for so many years we achieved so much, prospered as no other people on Earth, it was because here in this land we unleashed the energy and individual genius of man to a greater extent than has ever been done before.” “It is time to reawaken this industrial giant, to get government back within its means, and to lighten our punitive tax burden.” 
“As for the enemies of freedom, … [w]e will maintain sufficient strength to prevail if need be, knowing that if we do so we have the best chance of never having to use that strength.” 
“[T]ogether with God's help we can and will resolve the problems which now confront us. And after all, why shouldn't we believe that? We are Americans. God bless you, and thank you.
