New York, New York Paul O'Dea, NCTE; ex officio ACKNOWLEDGMENTS As chairman of the Committee on. the Senior High School Book list, my ap'preciation must first go to the members of the committee. Given the maturity of high school students, we were faced with the task of sorting and selecting from a universe of books written for the public at large, mindful partiCularly, however, of what-- would most appeal to high school readers. The 'basis for organization upon which the committee finally agreed was related to the elective courses common to high school English departments today. The first broad categories for- this booklist came frOm a study of curriculum guides from all over the nation. Beyond that survey, the col-. lective. professionnl experience of committee members furnished numerous other categories. After that, it Was mostly a matter of reading and vainly trying to keepup to date with the books arriving from publishers.If in the fical stages committee members wearied, theynone- theiess were always a pleasure .to work with. Credit and thanks must also go to the publishers who provided review Copies of books; to friends and fellow teachers whO jogged our minds, challenged our ideas, and gave specific suggestions; to members of the Sec- onditry Section and the Executive Committee of the Na- tional Council of Teachers. of English for their honest and frequent help; and to Paul O'Dea, director of NCTE Publications, who pestered and persisted and helpedme to pester and persist with the booklist. committee. Several individuals deserve special Mention. My wife Annette helped in all ways at all times, but along with Betty Wlietton, she, helped particularly with the Science Fiction' section. Linda Hope, Kathy McCool, and Liz . Celiscoworkers allhelped in so many ways to .make the job a little easier and a lot more fun. Thanks also to Norma Willson, West High School, Torrance, California; Nancy Wells, San Pedro (California) HigE School; and vi Acknowledgments Joanne Wilkinson, graduate student at the University of Illinois, for valuable last-minute contributiona .to the Am Woman section. Joy Scott assisted with correspondence, catalogued the many books as they came in, edited many annota- tions, and did all sorts of odd jobs that were sometimes difficult but still necessary, almost always happily and always efficiently. Joy may have started her job as my secretary, but by the time we were halfway through, she had become coeditor in almost every way save the title.I herewith award her the title and say that I am most grateful for everything she has done. Finally, I would like to thank the editorial staff of the NCTE Publications Department: William Ellet, project editor, ably assisted by Carol Schanche, Kathy Stevens, Elaine Dawley, Diane Dieterich, Patricia Leedecke, and especially Lois Haig, who has persevered in this project from the beginning.

But much reading is simply for pleasurefrom the uncomplicated enjoy- ment found in a mystery or adventure book to the in- tellectual fun of puzzling out an idea or theory found in a philosophical or scientific work. The problem is where to begin.Publishers produce thousands of titles each year and even with the recommendations of parents, teachers, librarians, and friends, locating books that fit specific interests is sometimes frustrating. Books for Youis intended to make the search easier by providing suggestions for all kinds of readers with all sorts of interests. Teachers and librarians may use this book to recommend this or that title, but its primary purpose, from section headings

    Cumulated Bibliography of Biographies of Ocean Scientists Deborah Day, Scripps Institution of Oceanography Archives Revised December 3, 2001

    Cumulated Bibliography of Biographies of Ocean Scientists Deborah Day, Scripps Institution of Oceanography Archives Revised December 3, 2001. Preface This bibliography attempts to list all substantial autobiographies, biographies, festschrifts and obituaries of prominent oceanographers, marine biologists, fisheries scientists, and other scientists who worked in the marine environment published in journals and books after 1922, the publication date of Herdman’s Founders of Oceanography. The bibliography does not include newspaper obituaries, government documents, or citations to brief entries in general biographical sources. Items are listed alphabetically by author, and then chronologically by date of publication under a legend that includes the full name of the individual, his/her date of birth in European style(day, month in roman numeral, year), followed by his/her place of birth, then his date of death and place of death. Entries are in author-editor style following the Chicago Manual of Style (Chicago and London: University of Chicago Press, 14th ed., 1993). Citations are annotated to list the language if it is not obvious from the text. Annotations will also indicate if the citation includes a list of the scientist’s papers, if there is a relationship between the author of the citation and the scientist, or if the citation is written for a particular audience. This bibliography of biographies of scientists of the sea is based on Jacqueline Carpine-Lancre’s bibliography of biographies first published annually beginning with issue 4 of the History of Oceanography Newsletter (September 1992). It was supplemented by a bibliography maintained by Eric L. Mills and citations in the biographical files of the Archives of the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, UCSD.

    AN ANALYSIS OF THE MUSICAL INTERPRETATIONS OF NINA SIMONE by JESSIE L. FREYERMUTH B.M., Kansas State University, 2008 A THESIS submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree MASTER OF MUSIC Department of Music College of Arts and Sciences KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY Manhattan, Kansas 2010 Approved by: Major Professor Dale Ganz Copyright JESSIE L. FREYERMUTH 2010 Abstract Nina Simone was a prominent jazz musician of the late 1950s and 60s. Beyond her fame as a jazz musician, Nina Simone reached even greater status as a civil rights activist. Her music spoke to the hearts of hundreds of thousands in the black community who were struggling to rise above their status as a second-class citizen. Simone’s powerful anthems were a reminder that change was going to come. Nina Simone’s musical interpretation and approach was very unique because of her background as a classical pianist. Nina’s untrained vocal chops were a perfect blend of rough growl and smooth straight-tone, which provided an unquestionable feeling of heartache to the songs in her repertoire. Simone also had a knack for word painting, and the emotional climax in her songs is absolutely stunning. Nina Simone did not have a typical jazz style. Critics often described her as a “jazz-and-something-else-singer.” She moved effortlessly through genres, including gospel, blues, jazz, folk, classical, and even European classical. Probably her biggest mark, however, was on the genre of protest songs. Simone was one of the most outspoken and influential musicians throughout the civil rights movement. Her music spoke to the hundreds of thousands of African American men and women fighting for their rights during the 1960s.

Through its Fifty for the Future initiative, Kronos is commissioning a collection of 50 new works—10 per year for five years—from an eclectic group of 50 composers (25 men and 25 women); the new works explore contemporary approaches to the string quartet, designed for student players and emerging professional ensembles. Cal Performances is a major project partner for Fifty for the Future, which aligns closely with its Berkeley RADICAL initiative to cultivate artistic literacy in future generations. Of Fifty for the Future, Kronos Quartet artistic director, violinist and founder David Harrington told NPR, “What I hope will happen is that the art form is just going to expand. And the explorations that will be possible from this body of work will just bring a lot of new energy into the field.” The score for each of Kronos’ Fifty for the Future commissions will be made available to musicians free of charge, along with accompanying digital learning materials, recordings, and performance notes.
