The first anthology of its kind, On The Fly! collects dozens of stories, poems, songs, stories, and articles produced by hoboes to create an insider history of the subculture's rise and fall. Adrenaline-charged tales of train hopping, scams, and political agitation are combined with humorous and satirical songs, razor sharp reportage and unique insights into the lives of the women and men who crisscrossed America in search of survival and adventure. With little of the original memoirs, literature, and verse remaining in print, this collection, aided by a glossary of hobo vernacular and numerous illustrations and photos, provides a comprehensive and entertaining guide to the life and times of a uniquely American icon

Environmental blockades have emerged as a significant form of political action since the 1970s, aimed at halting the exploitation of forests, rivers, and diverse ecosystems. The book delves into the origins of these tactics, examining the circumstances that led to their development and the motivations behind them. Through this exploration, it sheds light on the contentious nature of these actions and their impact on environmental activism.
