McMillen M: Frederick Fraley, Schuylkill
Navigation to Philadelphia Plan

Frederick Fraley, Schuylkill Navigation to Philadelphia Plan

For centuries, the Alps were an almost insurmountable barrier on the way from Europe's north to the south, and vice versa. The Romans replaced some of the ancient narrow transalpine mule tracks with their famous roadways. Paved roads were introduced in the 19th century, soon followed by railroads with impressive bridges, viaducts, and tunnels. Today, 120 safe and comfortable highways and roads, as well as high-capacity railroad lines, serve as indispensable transit routes for Europe's people and economies. Without these passages, Switzerland would be an entirely different country: socially, culturally, economically, and militarily.
 Through some 80 large-format color and black-and-white images, Alpine Passes of Switzerland demonstrates the boldness of the country's modern Alpine crossings, their infrastructure and beautiful landscapes. Additional historic photographs convey earlier generations' courage and pioneering efforts to build the roads and railtracks that connect Europe's nations. Supplementary essays trace the history of the Alpine passes and highlight their significance for Swiss national identity, explain their military importance, and describe the vision that preceded the construction of new base tunnels across the St. Gotthard and Lötschberg massifs between 1994 and 2016: the future of rail transit across the Alps lies deep underground.

The Swiss Alpine passes: international transit routes, places of encounter, and a core part of Switzerland’s national identity

Alpine Passes of Switzerland

Some vanguard companies have evolved to a higher level of decentralization originating in the enabling-and-autonomy paradigm. A new kind of deep leadership is practiced by these spirit-driven organizations. This book brings together theory and case studies to cover historical origins and developments of both types of decentralization.

Decentralization 2.0

Building High-Performance, High-Trust Organizations

After the Panic of 1837, the Locks &amp; Canals machine shop had little work; it was to be sold or converted to a twist mill. The L&amp;C treasurer, Patrick Tracy Jackson, strove to keep the shop busy pending sale or conversion. An 1841 plea to Jackson from Elihu Chauncey, president of the Philadelphia &amp; Reading railroad, seemed salvation. Despite incomplete infrastructure, the P&amp;R would begin operating in 1842. It urgently needed coal cars and locomotives to carry anthracite from Pennsylvania fields to Philadelphia. But its financial situation was dire, its debt in default, its assets being seized by sheriffs. It struggled to borrow. Its bridges suffered arson; its trains were derailed. Statutory completion deadlines loomed. Despite the risks, L&amp;C built P&amp;R cars and engines.There were conditions to award of the teased building contracts. Chauncey wanted L&amp;C to make loans to the P&amp;R. L&amp;C had no interest in lending. Jackson sought P&amp;R equity enabling participation in two infant industries: railroads and coal. Chauncey concocted a surreptitious scheme to acquire P&amp;R stock from the Bank of the United States for sale to L&amp;C, thereby diminishing the bank's power over the P&amp;R.Nine months later, the P&amp;R and L&amp;C entered into the 1842 Running Gear Contract for running gear for wood jimmies. Developing a financial structure for the locomotives transaction consumed a year: the Engines Contract for locomotives and coal cars was signed in 1843. For the contracts, Jackson developed unique financial structures to protect L&amp;C, as builder and financier, while allowing P&amp;R use of the equipment for revenue generation. How could L&amp;C sell equipment to, and ensure receipt and retention of payments from, an insolvent railroad (the P&amp;R) that had not yet, or had only recently, commenced operations, during a severe economic depression or other adverse financial circumstances?The transaction went badly. Neither Jackson nor the P&amp;R anticipated new iron coal cars or Baldwin's flexible beam truck: they rendered small L&amp;C engines inadequate. Builders of large engines were paid; L&amp;C received little. Payment defaults were continuous (for years), diminishing L&amp;C's ability to sell the machine shop.This is a story of desperation, debt, and default: of balancing on the brink of bankruptcy. Jackson began with payment admonitions, eventually including favonian, then whetted, threats of resort to legal remedies. L&amp;C acquired P&amp;R stock and bonds and aligned with P&amp;R stockholders and bond holders. His focus expanded beyond the equipment debt to the P&amp;R's financial health, especially elimination of floating debt. In 1845, L&amp;C and P&amp;R bond holders initiated one of the first audits of managerial custodianship in U.S. corporate history. A Pennsylvania law was enacted allowing bond holders voting rights on a parity with stockholders.When further efforts at suasion and blandishment failed, Jackson sought legal advice from the eminent Philadelphia lawyer Horace Binney. Binney and Jackson developed an elegant four-step plan to take control of the trusts and debt under the Rolling Stock Contracts and neutralize the P&amp;R. The plan derived from contract terms, threats of legal remedies (including personal liability for trustees), and extra-legal mechanisms. Within two months, L&amp;C took control of the remedies relating to the P&amp;R debt from the trustees, neutralized the P&amp;R, and forced a P&amp;R financial restructuring. Its value enhanced, L&amp;C rid itself of the P&amp;R debt. But more was needed.

Patrick Tracy Jackson, Philadelphia & Reading

Winner of the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award, the #1 New York Times bestseller from Colson Whitehead, a magnificent tour de force chronicling a young slave's adventures as she makes a desperate bid for freedom in the antebellum South Cora is a slave on a cotton plantation in Georgia. Life is hell for all the slaves, but especially bad for Cora; an outcast even among her fellow Africans, she is coming into womanhood-where even greater pain awaits. When Caesar, a recent arrival from Virginia, tells her about the Underground Railroad, they decide to take a terrifying risk and escape. Matters do not go as planned-Cora kills a young white boy who tries to capture her. Though they manage to find a station and head north, they are being hunted. In Whitehead's ingenious conception, the Underground Railroad is no mere metaphor-engineers and conductors operate a secret network of tracks and tunnels beneath the Southern soil. Cora and Caesar's first stop is South Carolina, in a city that initially seems like a haven. But the city's placid surface masks an insidious scheme designed for its black denizens. And even worse: Ridgeway, the relentless slave catcher, is close on their heels. Forced to flee again, Cora embarks on a harrowing flight, state by state, seeking true freedom. Like the protagonist of Gulliver's Travels, Cora encounters different worlds at each stage of her journey-hers is an odyssey through time as well as space. As Whitehead brilliantly re-creates the unique terrors for black people in the pre-Civil War era, his narrative seamlessly weaves the saga of America from the brutal importation of Africans to the unfulfilled promises of the present day. The Underground Railroad is at once a kinetic adventure tale of one woman's ferocious will to escape the horrors of bondage and a shattering, powerful meditation on the history we all share.

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • PULITZER PRIZE WINNER • NATIONAL BOOK AWARD WINNER • "An American masterpiece" (NPR) that chronicles a young slave's adventures as she makes a desperate bid for freedom in the antebellum South. One of The New York Times’s 10 Best Books of the 21st Century • A Kirkus Reviews Best Fiction Book of the Century • A Los Angeles Times Best Fiction Book of the Last 30 Years The basis for the acclaimed original Prime Video series directed by Barry Jenkins. Cora is a slave on a cotton plantation in Georgia. An outcast even among her fellow Africans, she is on the cusp of womanhood—where greater pain awaits. And so when Caesar, a slave who has recently arrived from Virginia, urges her to join him on the Underground Railroad, she seizes the opportunity and escapes with him. In Colson Whitehead's ingenious conception, the Underground Railroad is no mere metaphor: engineers and conductors operate a secret network of actual tracks and tunnels beneath the Southern soil. Cora embarks on a harrowing flight from one state to the next, encountering, like Gulliver, strange yet familiar iterations of her own world at each stop. As Whitehead brilliantly re-creates the terrors of the antebellum era, he weaves in the saga of our nation, from the brutal abduction of Africans to the unfulfilled promises of the present day. The Underground Railroad is both the gripping tale of one woman's will to escape the horrors of bondage—and a powerful meditation on the history we all share.

A gripping, “rollicking” (John Carreyrou, New York Times bestselling author of Bad Blood) biography of Jay Gould, the greatest of the 19th-century robber barons, whose brilliance, greed, and bare-knuckled tactics made him richer than Rockefeller and led Wall Street to institute its first financial reforms. Had Jay Gould put his name on a university or concert hall, he would undoubtedly have been a household name today. The son of a poor farmer whose early life was marked by tragedy, Gould saw money as the means to give his family a better life…even if, to do so, he had to pull a fast one on everyone else. After entering Wall Street at the age of twenty-four, he quickly became notorious when he paralyzed the economy and nearly toppled President Ulysses S. Grant in the Black Friday market collapse of 1869 in an attempt to corner the market on gold—an event that remains among the darkest days in Wall Street history. Through clever financial maneuvers, he gained control over one of every six miles of the country’s rapidly expanding network for railroad tracks—coming close to creating the first truly transcontinental railroad and making himself one of the richest men in America. American Rascal shows Gould’s complex, quirky character. He was at once praised for his brilliance by Rockefeller and Vanderbilt and condemned for forever destroying American business values by Mark Twain. He lived a colorful life, trading jokes with Thomas Edison, figuring Thomas Nast’s best sketches, paying Boss Tweed’s bail, and commuting to work in a 200-foot yacht. Gould thrived in an expanding, industrial economy in which authorities tolerated inside trading and stock price manipulation because they believed regulation would stifle the progress. But by taking these practices to new levels, Gould showed how unbridled capitalism was, in fact, dangerous for the American economy. This “gripping biography” (Fortune) explores how Gould’s audacious exploitation of economic freedom triggered the first public demands for financial reforms—a call that still resonates today.

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Through a series of historical analyses, Friedman explores the relationship between the legal system and the development of modern science and technology. The scientific revolution produced major changes in culture; and these in turn led to changes in government and law. The book covers, among other topics, the transportation revolution; the camera and the entertainment industry; the “germ theory” and its influence on modern society; and the role of culture and technology in the sexual revolution.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
