Outer cover is worn and has some creases. SHIPS FROM ALBERTA America meant freedom to the immigrants of the early 1900s - but a freedom very different from what they expected. The cities were crowded. Jobs were scarce. Children had to work selling newspapers, delivering goods, and labouring in sweatshops. In this unique book, Russell Freedman offers a rare glimpse of what it meant to be a young newcomer to America.

She was a poor Southern tobacco farmer who worked the same land as her slave ancestors, yet her cells—taken without her knowledge—became one of the most important tools in medicine: The first "immortal" human cells grown in culture, which are still alive today, though she has been dead for more than sixty years. HeLa cells were vital for developing the polio vaccine; uncovered secrets of cancer, viruses, and the atom bomb's effects; helped lead to important advances like in vitro fertilization, cloning, and gene mapping; and have been bought and sold by the billions.

Title: It's What's Inside That Counts, The Story of West Fraser's First 50 Years Author: Ketcham, William Publisher: West Fraser Timber Co., Ltd., Vancouver, B.C. 2006 ISBN: 0-9739454-0-0 Condition: Excellent, Like New SHIPS FROM ALBERTA Written by one of the founders, this book is an overview of the founding of The West Fraser Timber Company. The three Ketcham brothers were young men and their Depression-era upbringing was in the Seattle area. But their purchase of a small mill in the Village of Quesnel in the Cariboo Region of British Columbia showed business vision beyond their years. Five decades later, the company had grown from the original 12-person crew to become North America's third largest lumber producer with 7,300 employees in more than 30 operations. The story of West Fraser is really the story of people, not numbers, and this book shares these through the memories, anecdotes, photographs and mementoes of those who have been there along the way.
