At the turn of the century, the future of north central Idaho's tall, stately stands of white pine was tied solidly to the tails of the timber industry. Frederick Weyerhaueser, a timber tycoon who relocated from the Lake states to Washington state in the 1890s, was instrumental in breathing life into the Potlatch Lumber Company in 1903. With the construction of huge sawmills at Potlatch, Elk River, and Lewiston, the production of logs became top priority.White Pine, Wobblies, and Wannigans relates the history of Potlatch, Idaho's logging operation between 1903-1986. Detailed accounts of the lumberjack, his work, camp life, and specific logging locations (including 185 individual logging camp sites) are thoroughly researched and well documented. More than 400 photographs and graphics, mostly from private collections, enhance this logging history must.

This book is an in-depth analysis of three of the most crucial years in twentieth-century Italian history, the years 1943-46. After more than two decades of a Fascist regime and a disastrous war experience during which Italy changed sides, these years saw the laying of the political and cultural foundations for what has since become known as Italy's First Republic. Drawing on texts from the literature, film, journalism, and political debate of the period, Antifascisms offers a thorough survey of the personalities and positions that informed the decisions taken in this crucial phase of modern Italian history.
