This is the first biography of Ellen Dawson (1900-1967), a Scottish woman who participated in three of the largest and most dramatic textile strikes in U.S. history--Passaic, New Jersey; New Bedford, Massachusetts; and Gastonia, North Carolina. She helped organize the National Textile Workers Union and became the first woman elected to a national leadership position in an American textile union. She spent her formative years in the Glasgow area as a young worker during Scotland's most radical period of labor history. With her family she moved first to England and then to the United States in search of economic survival. As a textile worker in Passaic, she became a leader in the communist-inspired strike of 1926. Later a labor activist working with both the American Federation of Labor and the Communist Party, she traveled to the Soviet Union and was elected to the executive committee of the American Communist Party. David McMullen investigates Dawson's background and the events surrounding her life, as well as the events she participated in to understand why she became a leading labor activist. This remarkable biography provides an unrivaled perspective of early American communists during the 1920s and 1930s, one that ignores the distortions so commonly applied during the Cold War.

"The book identifies medieval sites and charts the development of the town from the scatter of fermtouns shown on early maps. It goes on to sketch the social history of a community shaped by the industrial revolution. The authors look at the history and archaeological potential of key sites in the town, to inform the future management of Barrhead's historic environment." --Book Jacket.

Blood feuds rarely end well. Occasionally the hatchet will be buried, but more often than not, it will be in the skull of someone. No One Will Hear You Scream, from the start, narrates the antagonism of a famous author, Ruby Latimer, with a young and ambitious journalist, Lizzie Spector, heroine of Achilles Heel - Your Stalker Solution, author's first book. Ruby Latimer has sold millions of books, but the current tome is proving frightfully difficult, ergo finding a suitable ending. Then out of the blue a solution is found. Unfortunately, in order to conceal her successful conclusion, heads may need to roll - quite literally. Crime will always, unfortunately, be a fact of life. How local gangs develop, expand and terrorize whole estates and communities is also a fact of modern-day living. To some out to protect what they have some gangs offer a lifeline to continuing their privileged life. Ruby Latimer may need to use one if things go pear shape. This novel contains part of Ruby Latimer's book. You can reasonably call it the 'book within the book', something that whilst at first reading appears irrelevant, but as you continue, the relevance - and the title - becomes all too frighteningly apparent. This is not a book for the squeamish. It is a genuine adult crime thriller which will keep you guessing as to who has done it! Read on and all will be revealed - maybe!
