Excerpt from The Last Cruise of the Spitfire: Or Luke Foster's Strange Voyage The last cruise OF the spitfire is the open ing volume of the Ship and Shore Series, and tells of the things which happened to a boy who ran away from his guardian's home because he could no longer stand the cruel treatment received. In this tale, in order to get close to the heart of the boy, the author has allowed Luke Foster to tell his own story in his own way. Luke has never before been to sea, and when he is carried OH on the Spit fire his real experiences on the briny ocean, set up in juxtaposition to what he had imagined a life on the rolling deep to be, make reading which I trust every lad who has a hankering after a sailor's life may digest with profit Luke concludes that a life on land is good enough' for him, and I feel certain that a major ity of our readers will agree with him.

Have the poor fared best by participating in conventional electoral politics or by engaging in mass defiance and disruption? The authors of the classic Regulating The Poor assess the successes and failures of these two strategies as they examine, in this provocative study, four protest movements of lower-class groups in 20th century America: -- The mobilization of the unemployed during the Great Depression that gave rise to the Workers' Alliance of America -- The industrial strikes that resulted in the formation of the CIO -- The Southern Civil Rights Movement -- The movement of welfare recipients led by the National Welfare Rights Organization.
