Download or read book The Docks written by Bill Sharpsteen and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2011-01-05 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Docks is an eye-opening journey into a giant madhouse of activity that few outsiders ever see: the Port of Los Angeles. In a book woven throughout with riveting novelist detail and illustrated with photographs that capture the frenetic energy of the place, Bill Sharpsteen tells the story of the people who have made this port, the largest in the country, one of the nation’s most vital economic enterprises. Among others, we meet a pilot who parks ships, one of the first women longshoremen, union officials and employers at odds over almost everything, an environmental activist fighting air pollution in the "diesel death zone," and those with the nearly impossible job of enforcing security. Together these stories paint a compelling picture of a critical entryway for goods coming into the country—the Port of Los Angeles is part of a complex that brings in 40% of all our waterborne cargo and 70% of all Asian imports—yet one that is also extremely vulnerable. The Docks is a rare look at a world within our world in which we find a microcosm of the labor, environmental, and security issues we collectively face.

Download or read book Down at the Docks written by Rory Nugent and published by Anchor. This book was released on 2010-02-09 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the opening pages of Moby Dick, Herman Melville called New Bedford, Massachusetts, “the dearest place to live in, in all of New England.” But the old fishing port and manufacturing center—once one of the richest cities in New England—has withered in the modern economy. Its once-prosperous fishermen now struggle with government regulations and fished-out seas, while its empty factories now offer more work to the Fire Department than anyone else. In Down at the Docks, Rory Nugent tells the “riches to rags” story of this iconic American town through beautifully told and unsentimental portraits of its residents. Their lives inform a eulogy to the distinctive ideas, traditions, and culture that is about to disappear from the waterfront.

Download or read book Death of the Docks written by Colin Ross and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2010 with total page 219 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book will enlighten you as to the real hardships faced by the people in the East End after the war and how many people had to resort to illegal means in order to survive. It will explain how bad the working conditions were in the docks and why there were strikes in an attempt to rectify the chronic working conditions. But intermingled among all the hardship are stories of humour and astonishment, this is what kept us going. The book follows my working career and how I helped to create the unofficial shop stewards movement into an industrial power base that the system could not control. With the stories centre piece being the jailing of 5 London dockworkers and how we overcame everything and got them released. Read how after one off the greatest trade union victories it became the tool that ultimately defeated us. This book really questions those people who claimed to have dockworkers interest at heart, could people keep on making mistakes and continually defend the system that eventually smashed a fine industry. Also the M Ps and local councillors who stood by silently.

Discover the difficulty Facebook faced when it tried to register its company name in Ireland, as another firm had a similar name. Learn how a tweet to Twitter co-founder Biz Stone helped woo the social media platform.
