In many countries, civil society organizations (CSOs) are more trusted by the general public than businesses and government. Business leaders might maximize their profits at the expense of the business or its customers, and government officials might use their power for their own gain, but CSOs depend on their good reputations and performance in order to mobilize resources. They have fewer opportunities to convert resources into self-interested uses. Recent experience suggests, however, that civil society leaders can also be guilty of self-interested behavior, even though the rewards may be less dramatic than they are in other sectors. This is especially a concern as CSOs become more influen...
Using oral histories, company records, and census data, Crandall A. Shifflett paints a vivid portrait of miners and their families in southern Appalachian coal towns from the late nineteenth into the mid-twentieth century. He finds that, compared to their earlier lives on subsistence farms, coal-town life was not all bad.

The book you're writing might be a good book. But could it be better?
I hurried back to where I had left Eldritch. He fumbled with his music, then asked, "What music do you know?" I admitted the only time I sang was in church. We worked hard, enjoyed each other's company and in the evenings, we made music together. With his other hand he took my hand and led me to another door that left the music room. He paused by the organ and asked, "Do you play the organ?" "I am afraid not." "Never mind. But there was one big hole in Eldritch's life, he had no music. Kiss me and never let go." Considering how strange Eldritch's appearance was, it was amazing how he could blend in or just disappear.
