Book excerpt: Involves a West Virginia mountaineer family, father, mother, five sons and daughter. Their complicated rise from abject poverty to become multi-millionaires through their efforts in the coal-mining industry. From a small outcrop of coal on their unproductive farm, they eventually own thirty production mines and become the largest coal corporation in the world, controlling the coal industry in West Virginia for over sixty years. Poverty stricken but ambitious, in the year 1850, Matt Mattison secretly kills Abe, a Jewish itinerant peddler, who visits his home periodically, using Abes money to open a small drift mine on his farm. He is assisted in the venture by his five sons who are unaware of their fathers sudden source of funds. (A true story). At the birth of his daughters illegitimate son, Matt realized that his daughter, Gem, and Abe had a clandestine love affair, planned to marry and that Abe had impregnated to comely Gem. Matt conscious-stricken becomes psychotic. Gem, suspicious of her father, grieving that the father of her child had given his life for her familys prosperity, refuses any finances earned from their mining endeavors, leaves home, adverse circumstances impel her to become proprietress of the towns bawdy house. The plot involves Gems life, embarrassing to the family but offers amusing incidents in the bordello that becomes public. Her brothers push the mining business to great success becoming powerful financially and politically. Her bastard son (known later as A.P. in the industry), well educated but burdened by his mothers profession, becomes president of the worlds largest coal corporation. Marries a socialite, interested in breeding show horses, they build pretentious mansion on 365 acres, own private railroad train, ocean-going yacht, lavish apartment in New York City. The novel follows several generations of family, involving many complications, romances, pathos of the five brothers, threatened loss of their mines through bitterly fought union strikes and devastating mine explosions. Much of this story is true and interwoven with fiction. All character names are fictitious. Interesting coal mining facts as they effect the family are included. As well as the complete portrayal of the cruel exploration of the miners as the greedy and often inhumane madness of the coal barons to accumulate excessive wealth. Now that coal is becoming an important factor in our energy crisis, this story is timely. Readers will become educated about the problems in this important industry as the story of this once poverty stricken family unfolds.

Download or read book Number and Time written by Marie-Louise Von Franz and published by Northwestern University Press. This book was released on 1974 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: C. G. Jung's work in his later years suggested that the seemingly divergent sciences of psychology and modern physics might, in fact, be approaching a unified world model in which the dualism of matter and psyche would be resolved. Jung believed that the natural integers are the archetypal patterns that regulate the unitary realm of psyche and matter, and that number serves as a special instrument for man's becoming conscious of this unity. Writen in a clear style and replete with illustrations which help make the mathematical ideas visible, Number and Time is a piece of original scholarship which introduces a view of how "mind" connects with "matter" at the most fundamental level.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Each day has been set like a diamond of destiny; to be discovered through the trenches and sorrow of life yet by the pressure it produces a jewel of remarkable beauty even if only in caring thought of wisdom or deed. Sought after and investigated; each day we attempt to grasp something that can never gathered; it's present beauty in presence too priceless a plight and so it fades to become another day. Take the journey of each day through inspiration, glean the gifts of grace, ponder on the paths of peace and God's faith in you. Learn to master your destiny by redirecting your thoughts. Always remember: "A diamond is merely a lump of coal that did well under pressure." Unknown. This 31 day journal will allow you to see the spiritual beauty of each day as you accept it is an exploration of God divulging masterful secrets of your worth (a blessing) and your purpose of being a blessing to others. For this temporary, light afflictions (trails and tribulations that have made us) are producing for us an eternal weight of glory far beyond all comparison. 2 Corinthians 4:17 It is therefore our responsibility to ponder on the promises of the Peacemaker and lay the pearls of our thoughts (our words, the very utterance of our souls) upon a page for self reflection, for direction, your legacy protection and most importantly praise. God has made a masterpiece, each tear purposed for purpose, each scene an opportunity to grow from, to know from and to teach those He seeks to reach. Yes the burden of the struggle is pressing, the heaviness of horrors when the enemy makes it look helpless impeding but God has placed a precious jewel instead you; He has placed eternity in the heart of mankind. Ecclesiastes 3:11 In placing His self inside of us we are receptacles and projectiles of His glory; learn to master your thought by the word by writing your story and making it plain. Leave it as a legacy for you love ones or dream upon a page in self discovery but whatever you do: Don't forget the Author and Finisher of your fate desires your praise in order to open new doors of opportunity. As king David said, this is because in praise our will is absence and His will is perfected. You are the pen of your everyday, cherish your thoughts and never let someone else be the master of telling your story. Your expression will be recorded in heaven: '.....and another book was opened, which is the book of life.' Revelations 30:12

Download or read book Delta Jewels written by Alysia Burton Steele and published by Center Street. This book was released on 2015-04-07 with total page 397 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inspired by memories of her beloved grandmother, photographer and author Alysia Burton Steele -- picture editor on a Pulitzer Prize-winning team -- combines heart-wrenching narrative with poignant photographs of more than 50 female church elders in the Mississippi Delta. These ordinary women lived extraordinary lives under the harshest conditions of the Jim Crow era and during the courageous changes of the Civil Rights Movement. With the help of local pastors, Steele recorded these living witnesses to history and folk ways, and shares the significance of being a Black woman -- child, daughter, sister, wife, mother, and grandmother in Mississippi -- a Jewel of the Delta. From the stand Mrs. Tennie Self took for her marriage to be acknowledged in the phone book, to the life-threatening sacrifice required to vote for the first time, these 50 inspiring portraits are the faces of love and triumph that will teach readers faith and courage in difficult times.
