King Coal is based on the 1914 and 1915 coal strikes and follows Hal Warner, a rich man who wanted a look into commoners' lives. What he found there was abhorrent -- thus begins the tale of unionization and the advocacy workers' rights. Unionization, however, is easier spoken of than it is accomplished. It was a dangerous task -- for the leaders of the coal mines were hardened men, men who would not stop at petty threats and minor violence.
]]>World-renowned author of "The Jungle" and described as a "prophet of social justice," Upton Sinclair astounded his readers and the scientific world with a bold venture into the paranormal. Written in 1929 by Sinclair with his wife, Mary Craig Kimbrough, "Mental Radio" is the product of Sinclair's reading - hundreds of volumes on psychic research - followed by three years of intense, hands-on scientific investigation into psychic phenomena. Without a doubt, Sinclair's in-depth study of his wife's telepathic abilities helped establish the paranormal as a subject worthy or scientific consideration and research.
- A timeless classic of paranormal exploration and dicovery from Pulitzer Prize-winning author Upton Sinclair
- Hundreds of carefully controlled, precisely documented instances of telepathic communication
- A book far ahead of its time in proposing human ability to learn and use psychic skills
- A deliberate, brilliant, and finely-crafted work whose impact has not lessened with time
]]>This work, written before Sinclair and others on the American Left became disillusioned with Soviet-style socialism, offers a fascinating glimpse into the intellectual currents prevalent on the left at the beginning of the twentieth century.

Das vom Übersetzer Hans Feist, den mit Klaus Mann eine unglückliche Liebe verband, initiierte und von der namentlich nirgends verzeichneten Schwester Erika Mann ausgeführte Projekt erschien als letztes Werk des Querido-Verlags, der vor allem mit dem auch in diesem Band enthaltenen Lion Feuchtwanger seine größten Erfolge verzeichnete. In den 30er-Jahren hatte dieser Verlag aber gerade durch Klaus Mann gelebt, und so ist dieses Gedächtnisbuch auch ein Nachruf auf ein Stück deutscher Verlagsgeschichte. --RJ Poole
