Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Industrial Age accompanied America into the Twentieth Century. In the 1900-1909 decade, factory jobs lured rural families to the cities. The first electric appliances were introduced into the American home and by the end of the decade a few automobiles were chugging along the rustic buggy paths. Many Americans had leisure time to enjoy the theater and Vaudeville was at its peak. Working conditions, however, were bad and workers needed laws to protect them. In addition, growing cities brought problems. President Theodore Roosevelt led the people who called themselves Progressives in efforts to right these wrongs. The programs established during the Roosevelt Era impacted America throughout the Twentieth Century.

Book excerpt: Words of wisdom from American philanthropist Andrew Carnegie Focusing on Carnegie's most famous essay, "The Gospel of Wealth," this book of his writings, published here together for the first time, demonstrates the late steel magnate's beliefs on wealth, poverty, the public good, and capitalism. Carnegie's commitment to ensuring and promoting the welfare of his fellow human beings through philanthropic deeds ranged from donations to universities and museums to establishing more than 2,500 public libraries in the English-speaking world, and he gave away more than $350 million toward those efforts during his lifetime. The Gospel of Wealth is an eloquent testament to the importance of charitable giving for the public good.

With more than 1,700 titles, Penguin Classics represents a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines.
