Download or read book Roads of Rural America Classic Reprint written by Arvin R. Bunker and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-09-09 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Roads of Rural America An adequate road system is essential for the economic and social well-being of tho u.s. Rural population. The typical rural family relies on the road system for essential communication between town and city service centers. Children are bused to school. Farm produce is shipped, farm supplies are delivered, and repair parts, groceries, and household supplies are purchased many times throughout the week. Many vehicles, such as school buses and milk trucks, require year - round accessibility, Many rural families have one or more members who commute to factory or service jobs just as regularly as families who live in the cities. It is neither possible nor desirable for rural families to live in isolation. Technological advancements have imposed the need that rural residents have better and safer roads. Faster speeds of passenger vehicles require smoother road surfaces for easy control and wider roads and intersections for safety. The heavier weights of vehicles require stronger roadbeds and bridges. Many rural roads do not meet reasonable standards for today's use. Other roads, adequate now, will deteriorate if funds are not available for required maintenance. Rural America's road network is approaching a crisis in many areas. Roads are deteriorating, maintenance expenses escalate because of inflation, and maintenance and new construction funds are decreasing.

Download or read book Co Operation and Nationality written by George W. Russell and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-17 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Co-Operation and Nationality: A Guide for Rural Reformers From This Next Generation American cities received them, but comparatively few found their way to the land. The man born on the land once he sets foot in the cities seems rarely to want to return. Why is there this migra tion from rural districts? Why this dislike to life on a farm? Why in half a century should rural life seem to be in danger of breaking up? The beast replaces man in Ireland, the deer forest in Scotland, the game preserve in England, and in rural America the machine with a dozen men to guide it replaces a hundred who have given up the fight. History so far back as we can see shows nothing like this. It is a new problem, and to solve it properly we must disentangle the temporary causes from those which must steadily and inevitably operate until a remedy is found.

Download or read book Electricity Comes to Rural America written by Rural Electrification Administration and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-12-21 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Electricity Comes to Rural America: June, 1950 Before 1935 not many people were greatly concerned whether rural people ever got electricity or not. And the old muscle method or gas-engine power seemed the only way to accomplish barnyard tasks. As for the farm wife - well, she just couldn't be expected to have all the com forts her sister in town had. If food spoiled for lack of refrigeration, if Dad's shirts got scorched with an iron heated too long on the wood range, that was bad luck. People in small villages, near the farms service station operators, proprietors of country stores, church and school leaders - some of them had electricity, here and there, but like the farmers around them, they too depended mainly on hand power and kerosene lamps.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Rural Roads to Security: America's Third Struggle for Freedom We have long allowed ourselves to be fascinated by the glitter of industrialized power, forgetful Of its inherent weaknesses. Too much urbanized, too much mechanized, men know little about the great productive power that lies hidden in the land and in its organisms; in the things that live and grow and reproduce their kind; in the seeds that sprout; in the fruits that ripen; in the flocks and herds that help to feed and clothe mankind. America's agriculture 'has become biologically unsound. As the authors of this book scientifically express themselves, we are merely soil chemists, not soil biologists; soil miners, not real husbandmen. And great, we all know, is the cost that America's manhood and womanhood are paying as the price of this neglect.

Download or read book Black Reconstruction in America The Oxford W E B Du Bois written by W. E. B. Du Bois and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2014-02-01 with total page 672 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: W. E. B. Du Bois was a public intellectual, sociologist, and activist on behalf of the African American community. He profoundly shaped black political culture in the United States through his founding role in the NAACP, as well as internationally through the Pan-African movement. Du Bois's sociological and historical research on African-American communities and culture broke ground in many areas, including the history of the post-Civil War Reconstruction period. Du Bois was also a prolific author of novels, autobiographical accounts, innumerable editorials and journalistic pieces, and several works of history. Black Reconstruction in America tells and interprets the story of the twenty years of Reconstruction from the point of view of newly liberated African Americans. Though lambasted by critics at the time of its publication in 1935, Black Reconstruction has only grown in historical and literary importance. In the 1960s it joined the canon of the most influential revisionist historical works. Its greatest achievement is weaving a credible, lyrical historical narrative of the hostile and politically fraught years of 1860-1880 with a powerful critical analysis of the harmful effects of democracy, including Jim Crow laws and other injustices. With a series introduction by editor Henry Louis Gates, Jr., and an introduction by David Levering Lewis, this edition is essential for anyone interested in African American history.
