Gr 7 Up-Streissguth chronicles the labor movement through the biographies of Samuel Gompers, Eugene V. Debs, William D. Haywood, Mary "Mother" Jones, John L. Lewis, A. Philip Randolph, Jimmy Hoffa, and Cesar Chavez. Black-and-white photographs accompany each 16-page profile. Extraneous facts such as, "[Cesar Chavez's] salary never exceeded $6,000-the lowest of any union president in the U.S.," and that "He never owned a house or a car" will interest general readers. An additional tool for report writers.-Kathleen A. Nester, Downingtown High Ninth Grade Center, PA From: Reed Elsevier Inc. Copyright Reed Business Information

Gr. 7^-12. Horace Greeley's New York Tribune exhorted President Lincoln to issue the Emancipation Proclamation, and "the president could not afford to ignore Greeley." Ida Tarbell became a pioneer in investigative journalism, exposing corrupt practices of the Standard Oil Company. In Journalists' most fascinating vignette, Carl Bernstein and Bob Woodward take investigative reporting to new heights with their coverage of the Watergate break-in. The five other journalists with brief, engaging vignettes include abolitionist Elijah Lovejoy, William Randolph Hearst, Canadian George Brown, Englishman Alfred Harmsworth, and broadcaster Edward R. Murrow. Streissguth's labor leaders range from Samuel Gompers to Cesar Chavez and include such inspirational types beside Chavez as A. Philip Randolph, founder of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters and a civil rights leader, along with the blatantly corrupt Jimmy Hoffa of the Teamsters. Eugene Debs, William Haywood, Mother Jones, and John L. Lewis complete the portraits. Both Profiles series titles provide strong historical contexts for all their subjects and will be useful for student research, and they each feature good-quality black-and-white photos and a bibliography. In addition, Labor Leaders has a useful glossary. --Anne O'Malley From: Syndetics Solutions, Inc. Distributed by Syndetic Solutions, Inc.
