Merging Lines: American Railroads, 1900-1970 by Saunders, Richard, Jr.,
Why did American railroads decline from the glory days at the turn of the twentieth century to the near-death experience of the early 1970s? Why did so many railroad mergers in the 1950s and 1960s, intended as a panacea for the ills of an outdated system, go sour and, in fact, make a bad situation worse? Saunders addresses these and other questions in this authoritative history of twentieth-century U.S. railroading. Beginning with a wide-ranging analysis of the role of railroads in the economic and social fabric of American life, Saunders traces the factors that brought about the "merger mania" of the 1950s and 1960s. Mergers, he explains, were expected to lead to better customer service, save money, and help railroads compete against other modes of transportation, such as the growing airline and trucking industries. Saunders then gives colorful, richly detailed accounts of the mergers and shows the reasons -- including corporate greed and the inept blundering of government regulatory agencies -- the outcomes fell far short of expectations. Revisiting the theme of Saunders's earlier classic, Railroad Mergers and the Coming of Conrail (1978), Merging Lines offers new information and fresh insights that will appeal to all readers interested in railroad and transportation history.



Pleasures of Time by Stephen Harold Riggins,
Pleasures of Time by Stephen Harold Riggins,
American-born Stephen Harold Riggins and Frenchborn Paul Bouissac have been partners for over thirty years. This book is the story of their complex and fascinating relationship--set in Paris, Toronto, Newfoundland and Indiana, with a cast of characters including celebrated critics Northrop Frye, Michel Foucault, Helene Cixous and Claude Levi-Strauss--but it is also very much more. Spanning over most of the past century, The Pleasures of Time is an important work of cultural studies and intellectual history, tracing the growth of a committed gay relationship at the same time as it charts important cultural and intellectual trends. For example, Paul Bouissac, the subject of this loving memoir, is one of the world's foremost authorities on the circus, as well as a member of the Nouveau Roman literary movement of the 1950s and 1960s. Author Stephen Harold Riggins, who bases the book on the diaries he has kept since the early 1970s, recreates in expert sepia tones the cafes of Paris, his home state of Indiana and rural country circuses of 1960s southern Ontario among other locales. Challenging the dictum that you can never go home, The Pleasures of Time is a must-read for those interested in gay history as well as intellectual and cultural trends of the recent past.
