Review title: A Sad Story... and a personal one. Product review: Bethlehem Steel is a huge part of my family history. My mother, father and both of their fathers all were employed for many years by this once-great company. Complacency seems too mild a word for what ailed this company. This book documents the fall of Bethlehem Steel [inventor of the H-beam... predecessor to the I-beam necessary for many of the tall buildings and skyscrapers we have today]. I really like this book but I am probably biased as I grew up in Baltimore, MD and Bethelehem, PA. Billy Joel even wrote a song about the influence of this company [not a pretty picture] in his song "Allentown". There's a lot of history here and a lot of explanation for why I had to leave all my childhood friends behind when the company started falling apart.

Review title: Great collection of classic African songs Product review: This CD kept coming up on a station I created in Pandora. Couldn't find the album on iTunes, but did find it on Amazon. I bought "Golden Afrique" vols 1, 2 & 3 as well as "The Essentials Guide to Africa". Have really enjoyed the music, shuffled in with my other American music.

Review title: Rotted after 18 months - Stainless Steel? Product review: This product worked well until it rotted and the upper an lower halves separated. It's supposed to be stainless steel, if it is, it's the kind that rusts.
