The engaging societal exposé Six Thousand Truckers Can't be Wrong traces the five thousand year history of prostitution from its original lofty status to its present state. In ancient Greece, prostitutes were temple priestesses. In the early United States, prostitutes were nurses, social workers, and community leaders. They also represented a semblance of culture and refinement in the rough towns of the Wild West. Today, 'streetwalkers" are victims of the most heinous and brutal forms of violence and discrimination. By examining the brothel type of prostitution in Nevada, where this profession has successfully and continuously operated legally for over one hundred fifty years, Dr. Tutty reveals the truth about prostitution as experienced by the women and men who practice the world's oldest profession. Dr. Tutty argues that the model of bordello prostitution in Nevada could be implemented around the country to: Lower the incidence of violent crimes against women Reduce the incidence of sexually transmitted disease and AIDS Improve the overall image of a community as a result of the lowered number of visible prostitutes Increase tax-based revenue that could then be used to support school, road repair, or other community projects Six Thousand Truckers Can't Be Wrong represents an honest and compelling argument touting the potential benefits that can be achieved from this often-stigmatized practice.

The story begins with Del Platt working with a double bit axe in a stand of aspen trees harvesting tiny logs called excelsior bolts. The bolts are loaded onto semi trailers and the trailers are pulled to market by either a Mack or a Reo truck. Del soon falls in love with the trucks and even deeper in love with Dosia, his adopted first cousin. Soon they arrive at the church with the Mack and its towering load of bolts. They elope and begin an adventutous life on the haul roads of Michigan and of vast America expanses. Each night they cuddle upon the Mack seat, their romance freeing their minds too far from money woes; truck repairs, and balding tires. In addition to woe, the story is packed with humor, romance, and delightful interactions of colorful characters. The author prefers to write stories with surprise endings.

“There’s nothing semi about Finn Murphy’s trucking tales of The Long Haul.”—Sloane Crosley, Vanity Fair More than thirty years ago, Finn Murphy dropped out of college to become a long-haul trucker. Since then he’s covered more than a million miles as a mover, packing, loading, hauling people’s belongings all over America.

Overturns common misconceptions about charter schools, school "choice," standardized tests, common core curriculum, and teacher evaluations. Three distinguished educators, scholars, and activists flip the script on many enduring and popular myths about teachers, teachers' unions, and education that permeate our culture. By unpacking these myths, and underscoring the necessity of strong and vital public schools as a common good, the authors challenge readers--whether parents, community members, policy makers, union activists, or educators themselves--to rethink their assumptions.

Long-haul trucks have been described as sweatshops on wheels. The typical long-haul trucker works the equivalent of two full-time jobs, often for little more than minimum wage. But it wasnÕt always this way. Trucking used to be one of the best working-class jobs in the United States.ÊÊ The Big RigÊexplains how this massive degradation in the quality of work has occurred, and how companies achieve a compliant and dedicated workforce despite it. Drawing on more than 100 in-depth interviews and years of extensive observation, including six months training and working as a long-haul trucker, Viscelli explains in detail how labor is recruited, trained, and used in the industry. He then shows how inexperienced workers are convinced to lease a truck and to work as independent contractors. He explains how deregulation and collective action by employers transformed truckingÕs labor markets--once dominated by the largest and most powerful union in US history--into an important example of the costs of contemporary labor markets for workers and the general public.
