This book provides a strong background into the man that ran his life, company and a city by the "Golden Rule". In a time when big business ruled and exploited the American worker with slave wages and no protection, "Golden Rule" Jones reshaped and redefined our ideas of the workplace and in doing so challenged a whole generation of reformers. Marnie provides a very well documented book on "Golden Rule" Jones with a heavy emphasis on his personal and professional struggles throughout his life. It provides a great insight into Sam's pre-success years in OH and PA when he had "Oil on the Brain". A must read for any Human Resource or CEO's in learning how to treat their employees with respect, fair wages and good benefits. This book would also be a great asset for any students of religion, sociology, American studies, urban policies and, or history majors. This book will transform you, and you will be transformed by the ideas of S.M. Jone!

This is the sweetest book my son has ever read. It is totally geared toward children. My son loved recognizing the landmarks he has grown to love. A must read for all of Cleveland's children and anyone who ever thought about trying to explain relocation to their child.

A very extensive account of the fascinating species of Ohio. First class work.

I found this book to be a very relevant and useful resource for incorporating my small computer consulting business. The author goes through the incorporation process step by step and explains how you can incorporate your own business using the exact same methods that attorneys use. The focus of the book is on incorporation, but there is also a substantial amount of information about taxes, accounting, record keeping, etc.

The best part of the book is the pull-out forms. There are tear-out forms for all of the filings and record-keeping that go along with running a corporation. All you do is fill in the information relevant to your company and file them (either with the state or in your record book) to make sure you are in compliance with the law. One whole chapter is dedicated to specifics of incorporating in Ohio.

An excellent resource to any small company!

One of the most important books of the American 20th century. Set in the class conflict of the Akron, Ohio, strike of 1936 against the rubber industry. "Sit down" and give it a read!

Junk Is Not a Four Letter Word is a wonderful story of how a young man who grew up in an orphanage became a success. The book provides riveting details that keep you reading on and on. I could not put it down.

This book is a thoroughly enjoyable homespun tale of Amish life. I think it's based in fact, but some the author seems to like to embellish a little as well. We actually have a signed copy of this book, having gone to a little get-together at our local library to hear Mr. Beachy speak. Our book, however, had an unfortunate meeting with our toilet today, so we are going to buy another one. This is a book keeps you interested and if you're interested in real Amish life with laughs thrown in, this book is for you.

I saw this book at Barnes and Noble and kicked myself for not buying it... so I logged on and of course amazon had it! This guide will give you so many ideas for things to do in Ohio. A great guide for anyone living in Ohio... we live central... so most of the suggestions are day trips for us... and that is wonderful... I love Ohio... I never realized how much there was out there till I bought this book. Ideas from factories, farms, zoos, and so many... gosh, never thought of going there... ideas! Complete with addresses, numbers and web sites... so you can find out more before you travel. I'm sure we will enjoy this book for years to come! Thanks to the authors! Would make a nice gift for a family also.

This book is an excellent adjunct to the more commonly seenMary Frank Gaston's Encyclopedia. Kearn's book contains over 150photos of Knowles, Taylor, Knowles pottery, with a strong focus on the famous Lotus Ware (sometimes referred to as American Belleek), and Meredith and other jugs.

Kearns went straight to the source, the Ohio Ceramics Museum in East Liverpool, Ohio, for information about this pottery's wares. He gives us a history of the company and the different types of pottery it created when it ran, and tonnes of photos of the various pieces still available to the collector today. His prices do not reflect the impact that online auctions have had on the collectables market, but that is a common problem with reference works today, and should not deter you from buying this book.
