In the 1930s, the Works Progress Administration began interviewing former slaves for their side of history, a project that would become one of the largest oral research projects on slavery. Forty years later, George P. Rawick compiled the thousands of interviews into the multi-volume series The American Slave. Published by Greenwood Press in the 1970s, the slave narratives have provided a valuable resource for historians and researchers, but they lacked a comprehensive name index. This volume indexes the slaves according to where they lived (as opposed to where they were interviewed), enabling researchers to locate slaves by state, county, or region, as well as by their master's name, their age, and the interviewer.The ease of access provided by this index will aid researchers who wish to consider the slave experience in specific states or regions.

Unlike a number of published works, where sustainability equates to corporate social responsibility, Mike has shown a way for managers to assess, formulate, implement and monitor the outcomes of sustainable corporate strategic moves. I found this story difficult to follow. However, I feel like the author had a page requirement and thus wrote about salt and anything remotely related to salt. Grab the marketing book before it's t
