  • Hidden in History: The Untold Stories of Women During the Industrial Revolution

    Thorne

    Paperback (Atlantic Publishing Group, Inc., July 25, 2019)
    The Industrial Revolution of the 18th and 19th centuries saw a period of technological, historical, and even social advancements. Men like James Hargreaves and Eli Whitney worked to make life easier for the working class, inventing machines like the spinning jenny and the cotton gin. But men weren t the only luminaries of the Industrial Revolution: women of all ages joined in the revolution to further advance society.Margaret Elizabeth Knight brought paper bags to the world, and Elizabeth Magie s interest in politics and economics gave us the much beloved game of Monopoly. And what would we do without Tabitha Babbitt s circular saw or Josephine Cochran s dishwasher? In today s modern world, we often take important inventions like these for granted, but without their female inventors, we d be living vastly different lives.A part of the Hidden in History series, The Untold Stories of Women During the Industrial Revolution shares the stories of women who should be remembered for their remarkable talents, ingenious inventions, and hard work, but have been previously overshadowed and forgotten to history.

    Jack Thorne

    Paperback (Forgotten Books, April 23, 2018)
    Excerpt from Recollections of a Sleeping Car Porter The following will show that while the porter is dusting and wiping here and there, placing a pillow under the head of this one, and doing some similar favor for that one, a word spoken carelessly, and soon forgotten by the passenger, affords abundant food for thought for the porter. A little grain of wheat thrown carelessly upon the ground may often spring up and produce an hundred fold.

  • Recollections Of A Sleeping Car Porter

    . Thorne, Jack, b. 1863

    Paperback (Ulan Press, Sept. 24, 2012)
    This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
