Synopsis The Indiana Rail Road Company, Revised and Expanded Edition by : Christopher Rund
The Indiana Rail Road Company is a story of extraordinary success among the scores of independent short line and regional railroads spawned in the wake of railroad deregulation. Christopher Rund chronicles the development of the company from its origins as part of America's first land grant railroad, the Illinois Central, through the political and financial juggling required by entrepreneur Tom Hoback to purchase the line when it fell into disrepair. Reborn as a robust, profitable carrier, the INRD has become a model for the new American regional railroad. This revised edition, with a new foreword by acclaimed author Fred Frailey and four new chapters, brings readers up to date on Tom Hoback's amazing railroad adventure.

Synopsis Capital Moves by : Jefferson Cowie
Find a pool of cheap, pliable workers and give them jobs—and soon they cease to be as cheap or as pliable. What is an employer to do then? Why, find another poor community desperate for work. This route—one taken time and again by major American manufacturers—is vividly chronicled in this fascinating account of RCA's half century-long search for desirable sources of labor. Capital Moves introduces us to the people most affected by the migration of industry and, most importantly, recounts how they came to fight against the idea that they were simply "cheap labor." Jefferson Cowie tells the dramatic story of four communities, each irrevocably transformed by the opening of an industrial plant. From the manufacturer's first factory in Camden, New Jersey, where it employed large numbers of southern and eastern European immigrants, RCA moved to rural Indiana in 1940, hiring Americans of Scotch-Irish descent for its plant in Bloomington. Then, in the volatile 1960s, the company relocated to Memphis where African Americans made up the core of the labor pool. Finally, the company landed in northern Mexico in the 1970s—a region rapidly becoming one of the most industrialized on the continent.

Synopsis Histories of the Dustheap by : Stephanie Foote
An examination of how garbage reveals the relationships between the global and the local, the economic and the ecological, and the historical and the contemporary. Garbage, considered both materially and culturally, elicits mixed responses. Our responsibility toward the objects we love and then discard is entangled with our responsibility toward the systems that make those objects. Histories of the Dustheap uses garbage, waste, and refuse to investigate the relationships between various systems—the local and the global, the economic and the ecological, the historical and the contemporary—and shows how this most democratic reality produces identities, social relations, and policies. The contributors first consider garbage in subjective terms, examining “toxic autobiography” by residents of Love Canal, the intersection of public health and women's rights, and enviroblogging. They explore the importance of place, with studies of post-Katrina soil contamination in New Orleans, e-waste disposal in Bloomington, Indiana, and garbage on Mount Everest. And finally, they look at cultural contradictions as objects hover between waste and desirability, examining Milwaukee's efforts to sell its sludge as fertilizer, the plastics industry's attempt to wrap plastic bottles and bags in the mantle of freedom of choice, and the idea of obsolescence in the animated film The Brave Little Toaster. Histories of the Dustheap offers a range of perspectives on a variety of incarnations of garbage, inviting the reader to consider garbage in a way that goes beyond the common “buy green” discourse that empowers individuals while limiting environmental activism to consumerist practices.

Synopsis The Calling by : Chuck McFall
Like the fictional Forrest Gump, my father, Dr. Merrill B. McFallin his real lifeencountered many people who inspired him and whose lives he inspired in return. Some were well knownnames like John F. Kennedy, John Dillinger, Louie Zamperini (subject of the book and movie Unbroken), Ross Lockridge Jr. (author of the great American novel Raintree County), Methodist bishop Richard Raines, psychologist B. F. Skinner, sexologist Alfred Kinsey (of the Kinsey Institute at Indiana University), Herman Wells (past president of Indiana University), and the Honorable Lee Hamilton (former congressman and Medal of Freedom recipient from President Barack Obama), among others. This is a book about the human triumph of finding redemption through God's healing grace. It is based on the promise of the abundant Christian life, all fueled by the power of faith and channeled through one minister's devotion to his flock and to his beloved congregation. The book begins at my father's visitation service after his death. It is structured as a series of flashback memories recounted as people kneel beside his open casket. These are inspirational stories, rich with examples of this unique minister's influence on each person's life. Every chapter ends by extracting the insights my father gained from these experiences, summarized in the key points of a sermon, drawn from each episode. It is written in the hope that people of faithand those just seeking spiritual guidancecan gain insights for improving their own lives, based on the moving examples of how others have done so in theirs. But above all, this is the story of one man's calling to the ministry. It recounts his resistance to the gravitational pull of that callinga summons that eventually drew him into its divine orbit and changed his life and the lives of those he encountered forever.
