Title: Joiners vs. Turners; or don't stand under a windmill during a lightning storm.
Product review: I must raise issue with the other reviewer's hang-up over whether the narratives represent average industrial era workers. The reviewer acknowledges the rarity of literate workers in the early industrial age and lack of narratives from typical workers of this era. These narratives are absolutely fascinating, horrifying, beautiful, and insightful. I cannot imagine why it would matter whether they are typical stories. Anyone interested in human development,economic development, or the labor movement should read this book. The narratives presented are treasures of humankind.
