Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Do you remember the shift whistle that told the whole neighborhood dinner was ready For the men and women who lived in the shadow of the mills and the assembly plants, the Rust Belt was not a chapter in an economics textbook. It was the smell of sulfur and coke smoke hanging over the river valley. It was the orange glow of a furnace tap lighting up the night sky. It was the union hall on a Saturday, the ethnic parish on a Sunday, and the row house paid off after thirty years of hard, honest work. This giant print trivia book celebrates the courage, skill, and dignity of the people who built America's steel and automobile industries from 1940 to 1975 - and the communities they built around them. 125 multiple choice questions cover: - The open-hearth furnaces of Pittsburgh and the Mon Valley steelworkers who ran them- The UAW, the sit-down strikes, and the union contracts that built the middle class- The Flint sit-down strike, the Battle of the Overpass, and the Memorial Day Massacre- Detroit's automobile plants, the River Rouge Complex, and the Arsenal of Democracy- The ethnic neighborhoods - Polish, Slovak, Hungarian, Italian - built around the mill gates- Cleveland, Buffalo, Youngstown, and Gary at the peak of American industrial power- Black Monday, the plant closings, and the communities that endured>A perfect gift for anyone who has ever lived within earshot of a shift whistle - or loved someone who did.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Do you remember the cold glass of a spider fizzing over your fingers The sound of the Hamilton Beach mixer starting up The smell of a hot pie warming behind the counter Milk Bar Memories takes you back to the golden age of the Australian milk bar - from the day Mick Adams opened the world's first milk bar at Martin Place in 1932, through the chrome stools and jukebox afternoons of the 1950s and 1960s, to the Sunday mornings when the milk bar was the only shop open in the suburb. 125 giant print multiple-choice questions cover the lollies, the ice cream, the families behind the counter, the confectionery companies, the social history, and the moments that made the milk bar the heart of suburban Australia.
