Struthers

By: Patricia Ringos Beach,Struthers Historical Society

Struthers is the story of a small town in northeastern Ohio. The town began with the stumbling start of John Struthers as he chased a band of marauding Native Americans through the valley. He later came to settle in what would eventually be Yellow Creek Park. He lost a son and most of his fortune after the War of 1812. Later another son, Thomas, would return as a wealthy entrepreneur to reclaim the family land in his fathers memory and help develop the town. The steel industry played a large role in shaping Struthers, as have Yellow Creek Park and Lake Hamilton by offering its hardworking residents places of beauty to relax and enjoy. The historic images in this book capture moments in everyday life in Struthers, from its incorporation to present day. This book is for longtime residents, newcomers, and passersby alike so they may treasure and remember Strutherss history for years to come.

Struthers Revisited

By: Patricia Ringos Beach,Struthers Historical Society

What more is there to say about Struthers that was not said in Images of America: Struthers, published in 2008? It turns out there is plenty. Images of America: Struthers Revisited features the people and places that filled this northeastern Ohio town in the 1900s. Through the growth and decline of the steel industry, the town prospered and adapted. Children grew up, marriages occurred, and people died; however, as anyone affiliated with Struthers knows, they could not be buried in the "city without a cemetery." This collection of images illustrates stories of accomplishment, struggle, and everyday life. Photographs of schools, churches, small grocery stores, businesses, eateries, parks, and playgrounds will transport readers to a time that is both familiar and historical. This walk down memory lane is for all ages. It is for those who reside in Struthers and those who used to live there and love to visit.

The Limits of Affluence

Welfare in Ontario, 1920-1970

By: James Struthers

With its roots in nineteenth-century poor relief, welfare is Canada’s oldest and most controversial social program. No other policy is so closely linked to debates on the causes of poverty, the meaning of work, the difference between entitlement and charity, and the definition of basic human needs. The first history of welfare in Canada’s richest province offers a new perspective on our contemporary response to poverty. Struthers examines the evolution of provincial and local programs for single mothers, the aged, and the unemployed between 1920 and 1970, when the modern welfare state first took shape. He analyses the roles of social workers; women’s groups; labour and the left; federal, provincial, and local welfare bureaucrats; and the poor themselves. The Story evolves through depression, war, and unprecedented postwar affluence. A wealth of detail supports this account of all the forces that have shaped welfare policy; bureaucratic imperatives, political professionals, the unemployed, labour unions, federal-provincial relations, provincial-municipal relations, and the spirit of the times. Based on extensive primary research, this definitive work covers much new ground, providing an indispensable reference on Ontario’s social welfare history (The Ontario Historical Studies Series)

Reading Alice Munro’s Breakthrough Books

A Suite in Four Voices

By: J.R. (Tim) Struthers,Ailsa Cox,Corinne Bigot,Catherine Sheldrick Ross

What in terms of Alice Munro’s creative artistry and creative power allowed her to become the first and only short story writer, the first and only Canadian, and just the thirteenth woman in history to win the Nobel Prize in Literature? And exactly when during Munro’s career did her artistry and power advance to ensure that she would earn such world-wide renown? The answers lie in studying the boldly innovative yet greatly under-examined group of her four mid-career breakthrough books. Our volume therefore provides a carefully orchestrated analysis of Munro’s subtle yet potent handling of form, technique and style both within individual stories and across these special collections. Reading Alice Munro’s Breakthrough Books: A Suite in Four Voices not only addresses a significant vacancy in Munro criticism – and, by extension, in all short story criticism – but, equally importantly, offers an exciting new model for how criticism can be collectively written.

The World in a City

Multiethnic Radicalism in Early Twentieth-Century Los Angeles

By: David M Struthers

A massive population shift transformed Los Angeles in the first decades of the twentieth century. Americans from across the country relocated to the city even as an unprecedented transnational migration brought people from Asia, Europe, and Mexico. Together, these newcomers forged a multiethnic alliance of anarchists, labor unions, and leftists dedicated to challenging capitalism, racism, and often the state. David M. Struthers draws on the anarchist concept of affinity to explore the radicalism of Los Angeles's interracial working class from 1900 to 1930. Uneven economic development created precarious employment and living conditions for laborers. The resulting worker mobility led to coalitions that, inevitably, remained short lived. As Struthers shows, affinity helps us understand how individual cooperative actions shaped and reshaped these alliances. It also reveals social practices of resistance that are often too unstructured or episodic for historians to capture. What emerges is an untold history of Los Angeles and a revolutionary movement that, through myriad successes and failures, produced powerful examples of racial cooperation.

Royal Britain from the Air

By: Jane Struthers

Here is Royal Britain as never seen before, looking down through the cameraman's lens at the historic buildings and landscapes which represent our royal heritage. Jason Hawkes, a photographer of extraordinary talent, has spent the last year flying by helicopter over the country, searching for places with historic royal associations and recording them in beautifully evocative compositions. The royal palaces - Balmoral, Windsor Castle, Buckingham Palace and others - are seen from a view the public never sees, and their architectural grandeur and dignity marvellously portrayed. The great churches and cathedrals - St Paul's, Westminster Abbey and the rest -are included, in addition to hundreds of other stately homes, public buildings, towns and rural landscapes which have played some part in Britain's royal history. Each photograph is informatively captioned by Jane Struthers, pinpointing what can be seen in it and outlining its place in history.

Hands of Time

A Watchmaker's History

By: Rebecca Struthers

A hugely entertaining achievement." –Esquire “An engaging survey through a period of intellectual history that reveals as much about people who wear watches as the objects on their wrists." – Wall Street Journal "As impeccably crafted and precisely engineered as any of the watches on which the author has worked so lovingly over the years, this book is a joy to behold and a wonder to enjoy.” –Simon Winchester, author of The Perfectionists and Land An award-winning watchmaker—one of the few practicing the art in the world today—chronicles the invention of time through the centuries-long story of one of mankind’s most profound technological achievements: the watch. Timepieces have long accompanied us on our travels, from the depths of the oceans to the summit of Everest, the ice of the arctic to the sands of the deserts, outer space to the surface of the moon. The watch has sculpted the social and economic development of modern society; it is an object that, when disassembled, can give us new insights both into the motivations of inventors and craftsmen of the past, and, into the lives of the people who treasured them. Hands of Time is a journey through watchmaking history, from the earliest attempts at time-keeping, to the breakthrough in engineering that gave us the first watch, to today – where the timepieces hold cultural and historical significance beyond what its first creators could have imagined. Acclaimed watchmaker Rebecca Struthers uses the most important watches throughout history to explore their attendant paradigm shifts in how we think about time, indeed how we think about our own humanity. From an up-close look at the birth of the fakes and forgeries industry which marked the watch as a valuable commodity, to the watches that helped us navigate trade expeditions, she reveals how these instruments have shaped how we build and then consequently make our way through the world. A fusion of art and science, history and social commentary, this fascinating work, told in Struthers’s lively voice and illustrated with custom line drawings by her husband and fellow watchmaker Craig, is filled with her personal observations as an expert watchmaker—one of the few remaining at work in the world today. Horology is a vast subject—the “study of time.” This compelling history offers a fresh take, exploring not only these watches within their time, but the role they played in human development and the impact they had on the people who treasured them.
