The accumulated achievements of China since its revolution of 1949 are so great that they have now not only changed the world but must lead every socialist and progressive person to think about their relation to them. This is a situation only comparable to the way Russia''s 1917 revolution transformed the world.China, after its revolution, has achieved the greatest improvement in life of by far the largest proportion of humanity of any country in human history. China''s Great Road explains how China achieved this enormous step forward for humanity. The unequivocal answer the book gives is that socialism achieved this huge advance. It analyses this at numerous different levels. If the international left does not raise itself to understanding China''s successful socialist development then it is lagging in understanding one of the most enormous facts in human history. China''s Great Road both analyses China''s reality and shows how socialists in other countries can and should learn from China.

He and his spunky Irish wife, Bridget, farmed the land and brought nine children into the world. In 1848, when gold was discovered in California, Delany was stricken by gold fever. He dreamed of California's riches for three years before Bridget gave in and agreed that he should seek his fortune.

This fictional story is based on the true life adventures of John Delany.

The Road to Bantry is a heart-warming story of a family who struggled for three years to stay alive during Ireland's Great Famine. In each of the years of 1845-1852, blight destroyed virtually all of Ireland's potato crop. The destruction, coupled with the British government's indifference, resulted in the death on one million Irish men, women, and children and forced the emigration of two million to nations around the world. The tragedy occurred even though Ireland grew more than enough food to feed its starving populace. In desperation Tim and Cate Shea fled with their children to America in 1848. By using their wits and guile they made their way halfway across the continent to join Tim's brothers in their log cabin farms north of Chicago. When gold was discovered in California, Tim hiked across the plains and mountains to California while Cate raised the children and ran the farm. Tim returned weighted down with the gold he'd mined. This fictional story is based on the true life adventures of my Great Great Grand Parents, Timothy and Catherine Shea.
