Book Roughnecks  Drillers  and Tool Pushers

Download or read book Roughnecks Drillers and Tool Pushers written by Gerald Lynch and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2010-07-22 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A working-class history of the Texas oil fields, as told by one of its workers. Oil, the black gold of Texas, has given rise to many a myth. Oil could turn a man overnight into a millionaire—and did—for some. But these myths have obscured what life was really like in the oil patch, a place that was neither the El Dorado of legend nor quite the unredeemed den of sin and iniquity that some feared. In Roughnecks, Drillers, and Tool Pushers, Gerald Lynch provides a much-needed insider’s view of the oil industry, describing life in various oil fields in and around Texas. He also chronicles changes in drilling methods and oil-field technology and how these changes affected him and his fellow oil-field workers. No one else has written a working-class history of the oil fields as colorful and articulate as this one.

Book The Power of a Promise

Download or read book The Power of a Promise written by Michelle Miller-Adams and published by W. E. Upjohn Institute. This book was released on 2009 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What if every high school graduate of a given school district could go to college for free--not just those with good grades or financial need, but all of them? And what if this promise was guaranteed for decades? What kind of transformation might ensue, not just in the lives of the students themselves but in the communities that surround them? Such are the questions raised by the Kalamazoo Promise, an unprecedented experiment in education-based economic renewal that is being watched and emulated by scores of cities and towns around the nation. When a group of anonymous donors announced in 2005 that they would send every graduate of this midsized public school district to college for free, few within or outside Kalamazoo, Michigan, understood the magnitude of the gesture. Now, in the first comprehensive account of the Kalamazoo Promise, Michelle Miller-Adams charts its initial impact as well as its potential to bring about fundamental economic and social change in a community hurt by job loss, depopulation, and racial segregation. Drawing on cutting-edge research in the fields of education and economic development, Miller-Adams combines insights from these disciplines with an unparalleled understanding of the Kalamazoo Promise based on extensive interviews and observation from the program's earliest days. Her book tells the fascinating story of why the Kalamazoo Promise came about, how the broader community has responded to its introduction, and its impact--real and anticipated--on Kalamazoo's students, schools, social fabric, and economic future. At a time when communities across the nation are striving for greater economic competitiveness and expanded educational opportunities for their youth, Miller-Adams' firsthand account reveals both the promise and the challenges inherent in place-based universal scholarship programs and offers guidance to all those working to prepare their communities for success in the twenty-first century.

Download or read book Still Hopping Still Hoping written by Rita Berman and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2018-12-26 with total page 123 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Carla Shuford was dealt a major blow when she lost her left leg at the age of fifteen, she didn't say "pity me", or "I can't do it." Instead, she carried on with determination and the love and support of her parents, hard-working farmers who lived in the mountains of North Carolina. Carla's stories and poems, and the various materials included here will tell you of her life, her interests, and her passions. "I have just finished Carla's bio. What a memorable, enlightening book! Many stories by Carla and her poetry. Carla has always been a shining star, but now that star is brighter than ever. You will all love it!"Suellen Kaltenhacher, Hannah Moore Academy, Class of 1960, to her fellow classmates."Rita Berman captures Carla perfectly: in her stories, her ever ready and sometimes wicked wit, her travels and travails, her origins and the difference they've made in what and who she cares for and about, and living fully with a disability that would have leveled the most stalwart. Berman's biography, like Carla, evokes laughter, tears, amazement and a fuller heart." Lynn Knauff, NC."Still Hopping, Still Hoping is a delight. I did not know Carla was so distinguished. Rita Berman has done a superb job with this biography." Larry Cramer, Chapel Hill, NC
