Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One reason for the compilation of this volume has been the conviction that a detailed history of a small Methodist Society, such as the Anne Ashley Memorial Church has been and is, over a period of a century, during most of which time it has been on Circuits, may be of large value, not only as a record, but as a picture of Methodism at work; a picture painted against the background of the Methodist system as it has been, as it has changed, and as it is. In other words, this volume presents the Anne Ashely Memorial Church as a typical Methodist Society. To understand it in all of its aspects and relationships is to understand Methodism better.

Book Synopsis Wealth, Waste, and Alienation by : Kenneth Warren
Download or read book Wealth, Waste, and Alienation written by Kenneth Warren. This book was released on 2001-01-15. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The southwestern Pennsylvania town of Connellsville lay in the middle of a massive reserve of high quality coal. Connellsville coal was so soft and easily worked that one man and a boy could cut and load ten tons of it in ten hours. This region became a major source of coke, a vital material in industrial processes, above all in steel manufacture, producing forty-seven percent of America`s supply in 1913. But by the 1920s, what had seemed to be a gold mine was turning into a devastating economic, environmental and social loss. In Wealth, Waste and Alienation, Kenneth Warren draws from primary source material, including the minutes and letters of the Carnegie Steel Company, the United States Steel Corporation, and the archives of Henry Clay Frick, to explain the birth, phenomenal growth, decline and death of the Connellsville coke industry. Its rich natural resources produced wealth for individuals, companies, and some communities, but as Warren shows, there was also social alienation, waste, and devastation of the natural environment. The complicated structure of enterprise, capital, and labor which made this region flourish unwound almost as quickly as it arose, creating repercussions that are still reverberating in what's left of Connellsville today, a kind of postindustrial rural shell of its former productive glory.
