The first biography of Speaker Pelosi in a decade, Ball’s nuanced, page-turning portrait shows Pelosi through a thoroughly modern lens, based on exclusive interviews with the Speaker and deep background reporting. Ball explores why one of the few examples of a woman holding such a high office now for the second time is also one of politics’ most complicated and controversial figures of the last 30 years. What Pelosi has managed to accomplish legislatively, how she is perceived by the public, and what the next couple of years hold for her career offer a unique snapshot of this current political moment. Molly Ball is a political journalist and appears regularly as an analyst on NBC’s Meet the Press, CBS’s Face the Nation, PBS’s Washington Week, CNN, MSNBC, Fox ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ News, and NPR. She was formerly TIME magazine's national political correspondent and covered U.S. ​ ​ politics for The Atlantic and Politico. She is the winner of the Gerald R. Ford Journalism Prize and the Toner ​ ​ ​ Prize for Excellence in Political Reporting, among others, and lives in Washington, D.C. “[An] illuminating new biography of the most powerful woman in American politics.” —Michelle Goldberg, The New York Times Book Review “[A] smart, solid biography with a lesson: Despite our current fixation on political showmanship, politics works best in a complicated democracy like ours when its practitioners can navigate their way through the byzantine cloakrooms of power.” —Joe Klein, The Washington Post ​ “Molly Ball’s Pelosi is the inspirational political book we’ve all been waiting for. In this dark season, Ball shines ​ ​ a light on the nearly heroic Speaker and her unwavering commitment to truth, justice, and well-tailored jackets. This is the definitive biography of an icon.” —Vanessa Grigoriadis, author of Blurred Lines: Rethinking Sex, Power, and Consent on Campus ​ “An engrossing and deeply reported political biography of an astute and powerful woman. Molly Ball’s lively portrait of Nancy Pelosi, twice Speaker of the House, is packed with sage insights and telling anecdotes. —Kai Bird, Pulitzer Prize-winning biographer British: Henry Holt ​ Translation: Henry Holt ​ 4 Henry Holt Nonfiction Darrin Bell THE TALK Publication: September 2022 Manuscript available October 2021 ​ ​ Editor: Retha Powers ​ Acquired in a two book deal, this graphic memoir by a Pulitzer Prize winner for Editorial Cartooning offers a deeply personal meditation on the “the talk” parents must have with Black children about racism and the brutality that often accompanies it, a ritual attempt to keep kids safe and prepare them for a world that—to paraphrase Toni Morrison—does not love them. Darrin Bell was 6 years old when his mother told him he couldn’t play with a white friend’s realistic water gun. “She told me I’m a lot more likely to be shot by police than my friend was if they saw me with it, because police tend to think little Black boys—even light-skinned ones—are older than they really are, and less innocent than they really are.” Her worry was well-founded: years later in 2014, a policeman shot and killed Tamir Rice as the 12-year-old boy played with a toy gun in a Cleveland, Ohio park. No charges were brought against the officers. Now with a 6-year-old son of his own, Bell examines how "the talk" has shaped nearly every moment of his life into adulthood and fatherhood. Through evocative original illustrations, THE TALK is a meditation on ​ this coming of age—as Bell becomes painfully aware of being regarded as dangerous by white teachers, neighbors, and strangers, and thus of his mortality. Drawing attention to the brutal murders of African Americans like Trayvon Martin and Eric Garner, and showcasing his award-winning cartoons along the way, Bell takes us up to the very moment of reckoning when people took to the streets protesting the murders of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor. Darrin Bell is the recipient of various awards including the 2016 Berryman Award for Editorial Cartooning, the 2015 RFK Jr. award for Editorial Cartooning, and the 2019 Pulitzer for Editorial Cartooning. The Pulitzer board praised Darrin for taking on "issues affecting disenfranchised communities, calling out lies, hypocrisy and fraud in the political turmoil surrounding the Trump administration." Bell has created two syndicated cartoons: Candorville and Rudy Park. He attended UC Berkeley and currently lives in Los Angeles. ​ ​ ​ ​ British: Henry Holt ​ Translation: Henry Holt ​ 5 Henry Holt Nonfiction Peter Ames Carlin SONIC BOOM The Impossible Rise of Warner Bros. Records, from Hendrix to Fleetwood Mac to Madonna to Prince Publication: January 2021 Manuscript available ​ ​ Editor: Kerry Cullen ​ In SONIC BOOM, bestselling music journalist Peter Ames Carlin captures the ​ ​ rollicking story of the most successful record label in the history of rock and roll, Warner Brothers Records, and the remarkable secret to its meteoric rise. The roster of Warner Bros. Records is legendary. Its stars include everybody from Jimi Hendrix and the Grateful Dead, to Joni Mitchell and James Taylor, to Fleetwood Mac and the Eagles, to Prince and Madonna. But the most astonishing figures in the Warner Bros. story are the sagacious Mo Ostin and his unlikely crew of hippies, eccentrics, and enlightened execs. They were the first to read the counter-cultural writing on the wall in the mid-1960s and 1970s, turning a struggling, out-of-touch company into the central voice it became. In doing so, they revolutionized the way the music industry worked and, within just a few years, created the most successful record label in its history. Warner Bros. Records’ story is as raucous as it is inspiring, pure entertainment that also doubles as a case study in finding the perfect balance between art and commerce. Peter Ames Carlin is a writer and the author of several books, including Bruce, a biography of Bruce ​ ​ ​ Springsteen published in October, 2012. Carlin has also been a freelance journalist, a senior writer at People, ​ ​ and a television columnist and feature writer at The Oregonian in Portland. A regular speaker on music, art and ​ ​ ​ ​ popular culture, Carlin lives in Portland, Oregon, with his wife and three children. “Music journalist Carlin (Bruce) relays in his characteristic colorful style how music mogul Mo Ostin built ​ ​ Warner Bros. Records into an industry leader . Those looking for a gossipy tell-all won’t find one here; Ostin stuck with a formula, trusted and invested in his artists, took the music seriously, and honored the intelligence and taste of his customers. This brisk portrait of the man who made Warner Bros. into a powerhouse offers essential reading on the business and history of popular music.” —Publishers Weekly ​ Praise for Bruce: ​ ​ “Interviews with bandmates, family members, and exes paint an unflinching portrait of the rock icon . [Carlin] dives into Springsteen’s personal life in unprecedented depth . No previous biographer has uncovered as much about Springsteen’s family.” —Rolling Stone ​ Praise for Homeward Bound: The Life of Paul Simon: ​ “You can almost hear the melodic anthems Simon created through Carlin's exhaustively researched, deeply-felt prose.” —Harper's Bazaar ​ British: Henry Holt ​ Translation: Writers House ​ ​ ​ 6 Henry Holt Nonfiction Charles J. Chaput THINGS WORTH DYING FOR Thoughts on a Life Worth Living Publication: March 2021 Manuscript available ​ ​ Editor: Serena Jones ​ With a balance of wisdom, candor, and scholarly rigor, the beloved Archbishop Emeritus of Philadelphia Charles J.

  • CJR - Iraqgate, by Russ W
    CJR - Iraqgate, by Russ W. Baker March/April 1993 | Contents IRAQGATE The Big One That (Almost) Got Away Who Chased it -- and Who Didn't by Russ W. Baker Baker, a member of the adjunct faculty at Columbia University's Graduate School of Journalism, is a free-lance writer who regularly contributes to The Village Voice. Research assistance was provided by Julie Asher in Washington and Daniel Eisenberg in New York. ABC News Nightline opened last June 9 with words to make the heart stop. "It is becoming increasingly clear," said a grave Ted Koppel, "that George Bush, operating largely behind the scenes throughout the 1980s, initiated and supported much of the financing, intelligence, and military help that built Saddam's Iraq into the aggressive power that the United States ultimately had to destroy." Is this accurate? Just about every reporter following the story thinks so. Most say that the so-called Iraqgate scandal is far more significant then either Watergate or Iran-contra, both in its scope and its consequences. And all believe that, with investigations continuing, it is bound to get bigger. Why, then, have some of our top papers provided so little coverage? Certainly, if you watched Nightline or read the London Financial Times or the Los Angeles Times, you saw this monster grow. But if you studied the news columns of The Washington Post or, especially, The New York Times, you practically missed the whole thing. Those two papers were very slow to come to the story and, when they finally did get to it, their pieces all too frequently were boring, complicated,and short of the analysis readers required to fathom just what was going on.

  • Journal of Academic Perspectives
    Journal of Academic Perspectives Religion, Politics, and Public Discourse: Bruce Springsteen and the Public Church of Roll Frederick L. Downing, Professor of Philosophy & Religious Studies, Valdosta State University and Jonathan W. Downing, Co-Director, Screaming Shih-Tzu Productions Abstract The thesis of this paper is that Bruce Springsteen’s art participates in a musical public square in which the outsider can come up close and overhear a dialogue that has been going on for centuries. Following the work of Robert Detweiler on religion and public life, this paper starts from the premise that the bard’s music, like literature, creates a type of public square or a form of public discourse where urgent matters of human survival, like the nature and nurture of a just state, are expressed, a call for social justice can be heard, and faith and hope for the future can be assimilated. Using the theory of Martin Marty on religion and civic life, the paper further describes Springsteen’s work as the creation of a “public church” beyond sectarian demand which is open to all and approximates, in his language, a true “land of hopes and dreams.” The paper uses the theory of Walter Brueggemann on the ancient church idea to demonstrate the nature and dimension of Springsteen’s “public church.” Using Brueggemann’s theory, Springsteen’s Wrecking Ball album is shown to have both a prophetic and priestly function. As a writer and performer, Springsteen demonstrates on this album and on the Wrecking Ball tour that he not only speaks truth to power, but attempts to create a sense of alternative vision and alternative community to the unjust status quo.

Aussie indie rockers, Floodlights' debut From a View is a very cleanly, crisply-produced and mixed collection of shambolic, do-it- yourself indie guitar music. CF Watkins has pulled off the Catch a Wave: The Rise trick of creating an album that is imbued with the warmth of the American South as well as the urban sophistication of New York. Canadian singer-songwriter Helena Deland's first full-length release Someone New reveals her considerable creative talents. Joe Wong, the composer behind Netflix's Russian Doll and Master of Nonearticulates personal grief and grappling with artistic fulfillment into a sweeping debut album. British rocker Peter Frampton grew up fast before reaching meteoric heights with Frampton Comes Alive! Now the year- old Grammy-winning artist facing a degenerative muscle condition looks back on his life in his new memoir and this revealing interview. Bishakh's Som's graphic memoir, Spellboundserves as a reminder that trans memoirs need not hinge on transition narratives, or at least not on the ones we are used to seeing. Seductively approachable, Gamblers' sunny sound masks the tragedy and despair that populate the band's debut album. Peter Guralnick's homage to writing about music, 'Looking to Get Lost', shows Catch a Wave: The Rise good music writing gets the music into the readers' head.

  • Rock Music's Crusade of Authenticity
    ROCK MUSIC’S CRUSADE OF AUTHENTICITY by DANIEL BROMFIELD A THESIS Presented to the Department of Journalism and the Robert D. Clark Honors College in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Arts June 2016 An Abstract of the Thesis of Daniel Bromfield for the degree of Bachelor of Arts in the School of Journalism and Communications to be taken June 2016 Title: Rock Music's Crusade Of Authenticity Prof. Thomas Wheeler This thesis attempts to define rock music's standards of authenticity and explore their origins. Included are comparison of rock's standards of authenticity to those of other genres and an exploration of how authenticity has been perceived throughout the history of rock music. This study argues that rock's standards of authenticity are unusual among pop music genres in that they entail artists both writing their own songs and playing their own instruments. This is in contrast to genres like hip hop, contemporary pop, and R&B, which have their own quite different standards of authenticity. Quotes from rock fans, critics, and musicians are used to provide insight into rock's standards of authenticity and how they developed over time. ii Acknowledgements I would like to first and foremost thank my father for introducing me to music. If not for his decision to turn me on to the Beatles one sunny day in June 2006, I would surely be pursuing a far more boring career – and thesis topic. And I would like to thank my mother for giving me a great life and being endlessly supportive.

  • Orbis Pictus Award for Outstanding Nonfiction in Children's
    Orbis Pictus Award for Outstanding Nonfiction in Children’s Literature Charge: To select the recipient of the annual Orbis Pictus Award for Outstanding Nonfiction for Children and up to five honor books; to propose a session on nonfiction books for children and plan a session featuring the award winning author at NCTE's Annual Convention; and to promote the use of nonfiction children's books in the classroom. As committee chair, I am grateful for the support provided by the NCTE staff members, Debbie Zagorski and Linda Walters, who continue to supply encouragement, information, and patience. What major actions or projects have been completed by your group pursuant to your charge since July 1, 2012? Since July 2012 the committee announced the winner, honor, and recommended books, from those nonfiction books published in 2011, in an article of reviews for Language Arts and at the national conference in Las Vegas in November 2012. The committee acknowledged a number of authors and illustrators at the children’s literature luncheon. Melissa Sweet, Candace Fleming, Monica Brown, and Julie Paschkis, were honored. Later the authors participated in a round table author discussion about writing and illustrating books for young readers. The committee’s selection of the 2012 Orbis Pictus Award Books was intensive and challenging because of the number of excellent and varied books published for young readers. Features and content were diverse and sometimes controversial; new forms such as the memoir and first-person biography, as well as superb photographs and design continue to renew, expand and invigorate the genre. The concerns about sources and documentation in books for the youngest readers continue to be part of committee discussions.
