A Field Guide To Industrial Properties In Texas, Amy E. Dase

Index of Texas Archaeology: Open Access Gray Literature from the Lone Star State

In the truest sense, industrial properties are more likely than any others to fit architect Louis Sullivan’s oft-quoted assertion that “form ever follows function.” Despite their substantial role in economic and social spheres, industrial properties have long been glossed over by those interested in material culture. It seems, in fact, that neither a comprehensive nor a contemporary overview of these property typologies has been accomplished to date.

A Field Guide to Industrial Properties in Texas is an attempt to address an identifiable information gap. It takes into consideration industrial properties that are related to the petroleum and natural gas, grain, …

2003 Trafficking In Persons Report, U.S. Department Of State

Human Trafficking: Data and Documents

AS unimaginable as it seems, slavery and bondage still persist in the early twenty-first century. Millions of people around the world still suffer in silence in slave-like situations of forced labor and commercial sexual exploitation from which they cannot free themselves. Trafficking in persons is one of the greatest human rights challenges of our time. It is, as the International Labour Organization (ILO) points out, the “underside of globalization.”

Review Of Harvest Wobblies: The Industrial Workers Of The World And Agricultural Laborers In The American West, 1905-1930 By Greg Hall, William G. Robbins

Great Plains Quarterly

America's most vibrant symbol of militant unionism in the twentieth century remains the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW) , the radical labor organization whose renown was literally larger than life. The union's strikes, work slow-downs, and suspected sabotage frightened employers, worried conservative labor groups, and eventually convinced the federal government to crush the loosely structured organization shortly after the United States entered the European war in 1917. Greg Hall centers his argument on the union's remarkable, if short-lived, resurgence following the end of the First World War. The Agricultural Workers Industrial Union (AWIU), the IWW's strongest affiliate, enjoyed an …

Research studies show that Georgia's present and future workforce is unprepared for the scientific and technological challenges facing them. Georgia's middle and high school students lag far behind the national average in science and math scores. Specifically: The Fordham Foundation gave Georgia a grade "F' in science. Over half of Georgia 8th grade students scored at the lowest science achievement level in the 1996 National Assessment of Educational Progress study. One out of every four Georgia high school students fails the science portion of the Georgia High School Graduation Test on his or her first attempt. Georgia ranked dead last …
