Interview of Olga "Jo" Beltrame and Ed Beltrame, union officers and organizers with the United Packinghouse Workers Organizing Committee and UPWOC Local 69. Part 2
No full textGift of John Revitte.In the second of two oral history interviews, Olga "Jo" Beltrame and her husband Ed Beltrame discuss their careers as union organizers for the United Packinghouse Workers Organizing Committee (later called the Amalgamated Meat Cutters Union). They talk about organizing the meat processing plants in Detroit, efforts to integrate the workforce at local restaurants, people thinking that childcare centers for workers were "socialist", organizing drives at packing plants in the South, the House Un-American Activities Committee, and management's exploitation of female workers. The Beltrames also talk about the efforts to organize Wolverine Worldwide in Michigan and the very difficult time they had. The couple says that they retired from organizing in 1974 and that unionism bettered their lives and the lives of millions of workers around the world. The Beltrames are interviewed by John Revitte, Michigan State University professor of Labor and Industrial Relations. The second of two interviews
I cannoni di Venezia. Artiglierie della Serenissima da relitti e collezioni in Italia, Israele, Malta e Spagna
No full textDal XV secolo, i fiorenti commerci e l’efficace sistema
di controllo dei domini della Serenissima Repubblica
di Venezia hanno potuto contare su una forza militare
straordinaria costituita da una potente flotta, prima
di galee e, dal Seicento, di vascelli, armata con quelle
che probabilmente erano tra le migliori artiglierie
prodotte in Europa. Il libro raccoglie la catalogazione
riccamente illustrata di 53 pezzi di artiglieria, tra armi in
ferro battuto, in bronzo ed in ferro fuso, conservati in
Italia, Israele, Malta e Spagna provenienti da relitti navali,
musei e collezioni private che permettono di ricostruire
la storia della loro produzione, i nomi e l’attività dei
loro fonditori e le magistrature preposte alla loro
gestione. L’opera completa lo studio sui pezzi veneziani
conservati in Turchia, Grecia e Croazia raccolto nel
precedente volume I cannoni di Venezia. Artiglierie della
Serenissima da fortezze e relitti di C. Beltrame e M. Morin

Gen Ed /
No full text"Gen Ed locates serious discussion of general education in the context of some of the day-to-day realities encountered in putting it into practice and promoting efforts at reform at Metropolitan Atlantic University (aka the Metro). This dual focus is found in the often-pugnacious policy debate among the faculty and a more light-hearted discussion of related questions carried on by Professor Kelly as he models Socratic teaching in his upper-level class for prospective teachers. Reforming general education at the Metro is not free of the vanities and vulgarities of ambitious men and women and self-serving politicians, of course, nor those who poke fun at them. Arnie Smatter, the irrepressible and nosey chat show host of Radio YOY ensures that this does not go unnoticed. The overall humorous tone of Gen Ed does not detract from Mulcahy's thoughtful treatment of substantive issues that will be of interest to serious scholars, students, and a general readership. It is the behaviour of those involved, the broader media and political contexts in which events take place, which mainly becomes the object of humorous treatment"--Includes bibliographical references and index.Preface -- Acknowledgements -- Chapter 1 -- Chapter 2 -- Chapter 3 -- Chapter 4 -- Chapter 5 -- Chapter 6 -- Chapter 7 -- Chapter 8 -- Chapter 9 -- Chapter 10 -- Chapter 11 -- Chapter 12 -- Chapter 13 -- Chapter 14 -- Chapter 15 -- Chapter 16 -- Chapter 17 -- Chapter 18 -- Chapter 19 -- Chapter 20 -- Appendix: Questions for Discussion, Suggested Topics for Term Papers and Research Projects -- References -- About the Author."Gen Ed locates serious discussion of general education in the context of some of the day-to-day realities encountered in putting it into practice and promoting efforts at reform at Metropolitan Atlantic University (aka the Metro).
