A group of travelers are menaced by an unseen force in this chilling, supernatural horror tale. A truck driver, a schoolboy, a retired bank manager, and an eccentric country woman are among the group thrown together on the Silver City Highway—where they are able to go neither forward or backward—on a nightmarish journey that won’t end. And when they run out of gas, the land seems to funnel them towards a homestead where a number of gory murders have occurred. Told from shifting perspectives by characters who seem to be hiding something, suspense builds as the group collapses under t

The Road is a collection of true stories and essays about London’s life living on the road as a hobo in the late 1800s. At the time, London used his storytelling skills to get meals from strangers in exchange for his compelling tales. He even spent 30 days in a Pennsylvania jail for vagrancy. London is well known for his books The Call of The Wild, White Fang and The Sea Wolf. The true story of Jack London’s real life is unknown to most readers, the stories in The Road offer unique insights into London’s life and his later years as a socialist.

Now the first blind of a fast train in a driving snowstorm is no summer picnic. The wind goes right through one, strikes the front of the car, and comes back again. At the first stop, darkness having come on, I went forward and interviewed the fireman. I offered to "shove" coal to the end of his run, which was Rawlins, and my offer was accepted. My work was out on the tender, in the snow, breaking the lumps of coal with a sledge and shovelling it forward to him in the cab. But as I did not have to work all the time, I could come into the cab and warm up now and again.

During the 1992 presidential campaign, health care reform became a hot issue, paving the way for one of the most important yet ill-fated social policy initiatives in American history: Bill Clinton’s 1993 proposal for comprehensive coverage under "managed competition." Here Jacob Hacker not only investigates for the first time how managed competition became the president’s reform framework, but also illuminates how issues and policies emerge. He follows Clinton’s policy ideas from their initial formulation by policy experts through their endorsement by medical industry leaders
