The Underworld - The Story of Robert Sinclair; Miner
Set in the period leading up to the First World War, The Underworld vividly relates the story of working coal miners and the members of the community in which they lived. It tells the story of their loves, hopes and dreams. It portrays their struggles with the forces of nature deep underground and their equally tenacious and vicious struggles with their so-called "masters" - the money-grubbing coal-owners. A masterpiece of working class literature from the pen of an insider. Be prepared to cry! Published in support of the Working Class Movement Library, Salford, M5 4WX.
The Underworld
James C. Welsh (1880-1954) was a Scottish Labour Party politician who served as a Member of Parliament (MP) from 1922 to 1931, and from 1935 to 1945. He unsuccessfully contested the 1918 general election in the Lanark constituency. At the 1922 general election, he was elected as MP for Coatbridge constituency, where he was re-elected in 1923, 1924 and 1929, but was defeated at the 1931 general election by the Conservative Party candidate William Paterson Templeton. He was returned to the House of Commons at the 1935 general election as MP for Bothwell, and held the seat until he stepped down at the 1945 general election. He was the author of The Underworld: The Story of Robert Sinclair, Miner (1920).
Lifespan
A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER “Brilliant and enthralling.” —The Wall Street Journal A paradigm-shifting book from an acclaimed Harvard Medical School scientist and one of Time’s most influential people.

Robert Rauschenberg
Robert Rauschenberg (1925–2008) was a breaker of boundaries and a consummate collaborator. He used silk-screen prints to reflect on American promise and failure, melded sculpture and painting in works called combines, and collaborated with engineers and scientists to challenge our thinking about art. Through collaborations with John Cage, Merce Cunningham, and others, Rauschenberg bridged the music, dance, and visual-art worlds, inventing a new art for the last half of the twentieth century. Robert Rauschenberg is a work of collaborative oral biography that tells the story of one of the twentieth century’s great artists through a series of interviews with key figures in his life—family...

Last of the Hard Hat Divers
BIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY: GENERAL. Recently retired following a long and distinguished career as a seaman and 'hard hat' diver working on complex underwater engineering projects, Bob Sinclair now sets down both his story as one of the last hard hat divers, and his history, which takes us back to the 1930s and his childhood in Scotland. He recounts his enduring love and fascination with water, no doubt inherited from his seafaring father, the depredations and joys of growing up in wartime Scotland, and his own father's often life-endangering adventures at sea. His own career was no less eventful and no less dangerous. Often below for astonishing periods of time (eighteen hours in one instance) and working against the clock of civil engineering contracts, Bob and his colleagues show an unstinting and unwavering sense of duty and commitment to their work, and even more importantly, to one another. A hart hat diver's life is literally always in the hands of someone else.
