Unseen Upton Sinclair: Professor Emeritus Ruth C. Engs To Give Book Talk at Lilly Library Oct. 22, 2009

Applied Health Science Department Professor Emeritus Ruth C. Engs will be giving a book talk and book signing for her latest book entitled Unseen Upton Sinclair: Nine Unpublished Stories, Essays and Other Works.
Publisher MacFarland describes the new volume:
"Best known for his muckraking exposé of the squalor and brutality that pervaded the livestock industry in his book The Jungle, Upton Sinclair’s political activism was not limited to issues of workers’ rights or workplace safety. These nine short works, never before published, reveal an author who also wrestled with questions concerning women’s independence and the state of the health care industry in America. Always controversial, Sinclair ranges here from the comic to the deadly serious, while investigating issues that include artificial insemination and dietary measures. A substantial biographical introduction gives new insights into Sinclair’s concerns."
Prof. Emeritus Engs' book talk and signing will be on October 22, 2009, at 4:00pm in the Lilly Library.
