Mary Livermore was TEACHER, AUTHOR, WIFE, MOTHER, ARMY NURSE, SOLDIER'S FRIEND, LECTURER, AND REFORMER. She spent three years teaching on southern plantations before the Civil War and was horrified at what she saw. During the war, she worked with the Sanitary Commission and visited many hospitals and soldiers. Anyone questioning the veracity of "Uncle Tom's Cabin" need only read Mary Livermore. Her remarkable life was one dedicated to the advancement of African-Americans and women, and she worked with all the prominent feminists of her day. For the first time ever, this long-out-of-print book is available as an affordable, well-formatted book for e-readers and smartphones. Be sure to LOOK INSIDE or download a sample.
"This book takes an in-depth look at fire hazards in the workplace - from the substances required to do business to the building construction itself - and provides practical fire-safety principles that can be applied in any work environment. Readers will learn how to develop emergency-action and fire-prevention plans; implement effective alarm, detection, and fire-extinguishment systems; and develop a comprehensive fire-program management plan that is in compliance with FEMA, OSHA, EPA, and NFPA standards." "Each chapter concludes with questions for the reader. Answers to chapter questions and a comprehensive glossary and index are provided at the end of the book."--BOOK JACKET.
