Book excerpt: A core strategic goal of the Great Barrington Historical Commission is to present programs that heighten public appreciation of the town's rich architectural and historical resources. With the issuance of this comprehensive study documenting sites of clear cultural merit that are no longer with us, distinguished local historian and author Bernard A. Drew has not only taken us a giant step forward in realizing this goal but made a cogent case for identifying and preserving structures, artifacts, and open spaces that give our town its distinctive identity. A record of what structures no longer exist or have been altered beyond recognition, and which recounts the reasons for their demise, can only engender public support for preservation and influence our decisions about the future of our built environment.- from the Foreword, Paul W. Ivory, Great Barrington Historical Commission

Download or read book Most Wonderful Machine written by Judith A. McGaw and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2019-01-15 with total page 457 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On a visit to a Berkshire paper mill, the narrator of Herman Melville's "The Tartarus of Maids" views the "wonderful" papermaking machine with awe and calls it a "miracle of inscrutable intricacy." Manifesting in their factories and towns such nineteenth-century fascination with machinery, paper mill owners and workers made an industrial revolution in Berkshrie County, Massachusetts. This book examines their experiences from the era of craft production through several generations of sustained technological change to answer two major questions: What accounts for the widespread and rapid adoption of machines in nineteenth-century America? And how did the new technology help to transform America socially and culturally? Rejecting technological determinism, Judith McGaw effectively integrates labor, business, social, and women's history with technological history to bring to life the human decisions that made mechanization possible. In compelling detail the author offers new explanations of how change in the craft era paved the way for industrialization and how paternalism worked in small-scale industry. She also provides a thoughtful discussion of the interaction between evangelical culture and the emerging industrial order, and a close analysis of how nineteenth-century gender distinctions fostered mechanization. Judith A. McGaw is Assistant Professor of History of Technology at the University of Pennsylvania. Originally published in 1987.

This book was released on 2017-09-11 with total page 732 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In A History of Conversion to Islam in the United States, Volume 2: The African American Islamic Renaissance, 1920-1975 Patrick D. Bowen offers an in-depth account of African American Islam as it developed in the United States during the fifty-five years that followed World War I. Having been shaped by a wide variety of intellectual and social influences, the ‘African American Islamic Renaissance’ appears here as a movement that was characterized by both great complexity and diversity. Drawing from a wide variety of sources—including dozens of FBI files, rare books and periodicals, little-known archives and interviews, and even folktale collections—Patrick D. Bowen disentangles the myriad social and religious factors that produced this unprecedented period of religious transformation.
