As chair of the Committee to Revise Books for You, I appreciate the opportunity to hereby recognize and thank all of the following: The numerous publishers, through their directors of publicity or mar- keting, who sent us copies of their books to consider. We should rejoice in the mutual benefits we provide each other. The individual members of the committee whooften under pres- sures from greatly strained personal livesdiligently read, selected, and annotated the best of hundreds of new books produced during the past three years. The insights, talents, and extensive time commitment of each member were necessary for the completion of this project. The schools and libraries which employ members of our committee, for their cooperation and assistance with duplicating and mailing, and especially Central Connecticut State University for providing graduate assis*.ants' support. Christine Nybakken and Mary Ann Walters for their tireless record- ing, categorizing, filing, and mailing of books. Gordon Korstange, Dawn Starr, Peggy Thomas, and Patricia Trumbull for filling in at the end. Bob Small, committee chair of the previous edition of this book, for hisinitial guidance, insightful advice, and continuous sympathetic encouragement. Paul O'Dea, Director of Publications at NCTE, for his unfailing support, encouragement, and trust. Donald R. Gallo vii Introductiea to the Student Except for school assignments, most of the reading you do is likely to be for enjoyment. Fiction accounts for the largest proportion of the reading which students (as well as adults) do on their own. But you also sometimes read for informationto get an expert's advice on taking better photographs, for example; to learn how to repair a racing bike; to answer your questions about caring for a pet; or perhaps to learn more about a specific event in history. But even that kind of reading can give you pleasure when you fins: answers to your questions or gain new insights into areas you were previously unaware of. Reading for pleasure was what we tried to keep foremost in our minds as we compiled this collection. We hope that the books described here will, more than anything else, provide enjoyment. Reading should not be a chore. Because there are so many books to choose from, if you start to read ene and find it too difficult, too abstract, or even too simple, then there are usually others you can try. How This

  • Tor in Oklahoma All the Experiences That Went Into the Making of the Nation Have Been Speeded Up
    Tor in Oklahoma all the experiences that went into the making of the nation have been speeded up. Here all the American traits have been intensified.The one who can interpret Oklahoma can grasp the meaning of America in the modern world." —Angie Debo, Oklahoma: Footloose and Fancy Free, 1949 Every one of these United States touts its unique place in the American Story, but few have as curious a history as Oklahoma. Its place on the continent would have predicted statehood much sooner than 1907, when Oklahoma became the 46th Star. But the federal Indian Removal Act of 1830 and the establishment of an Indian Territory would put the land on a different path, diverging from the logical progression of the white man's Manifest Destiny. csnl^afo /jeu-cr The relocated tribes were promised their new land "as long as the waters run" by U.S. treaty. The tribes would find the promise broken in the latter years of the nineteenth century when Indian Territory saw the breakup of reservations, and then in the early twentieth century when the collective tribes were denied a state of their own. Instead, the territory would join with Oklahoma Territory to form the new state. When areas of the territories were opened for settlement through land runs and lotteries, African Ameri­ cans came to fulfill the promise of equality, only to see the promise shattered with the establishment of Jim Crow laws. Even the "promised land" promoted during the runs and lotteries would ultimately lead to broken dreams for many Euro-Americans, who would see desperate hardship in the depression, drought, and farm crisis of the 1930s.

There is a party happening at the house, but this BRASS AND LEATHER LIBRARY is where serious business happens. ANGLE ON: an IMPERIOUS CRIME LORD sipping tea at the head of a massive antique table, surrounded by his HENCHMEN. This is HAMZA (60s) head of “The Nizam,” a league of assassins. HAMZA We’re not having this discussion again. The peace with Skalnikoff and The Colony has been to everyone’s financial benefit. They take the lion’s share of western assignments, but the Nizam controls the east, and with it-- TARIK This isn’t peace. This is Skalnikoff waiting for our guard to drop, so he can strike. If you don’t come for him, he’ll come for you, father. ANGLE ON: TARIK (30s) at the opposite end of the table. He has the bearing of an ungrateful prince: controlled by his father and desperate to take his place. HAMZA I admire your ambition, my son, but you still have much to learn. In the background, the CLUB MUSIC cuts out and we hear SCREAMS. The men at the table perk up, on high alert. A HENCHMAN peaks out the window, shakes his head to signal: the roof is empty.
