We are publishing this series in response to the growing number of suggestions from our readers, who want more coverage of more people in Biography Today. Over the past few years, we have published several special subject vol- umes, covering Artists, Authors, Scientists and Inventors, Sports Figures, and World Leaders. Each of these hardcover volumes is 200 pages in length and covers approximately 15 individuals of interest to readers aged 9 and above. The length and format of the entries is like those found in the regular issues of Biography Today, but there is no duplication between the regular se- ries and the special subject volumes. The Plan of the Work As with the regular issues of Biography Today, this special subject volume on Authors was especially created to appeal to young readers in a format they can enjoy reading and readily understand. Each volume contains alphabetical- ly arranged sketches. Each entry provides at least one picture of the individual profiled, and bold-faced rubrics lead the reader to information on birth, youth, early memories, education, first jobs, marriage and family, career highlights, memorable experiences, hobbies, and honors and awards. Each of the entries ends with a list of easily accessible sources designed to lead the student to fur- ther reading on the individual and a current address. Obituary entries are also included, written to provide a perspective on the individual's entire career. Obituaries are clearly marked in both the table of contents and at the begin- ning of the entry. Biographies are prepared by Omnigraphics editors after extensive research, utilizing the most current materials available. Those sources that are generally available to students appear in the list of further reading at the end of the sketch. Indexes To provide easy access to entries, each issue of the regular Biography Today series and each volume of the Special Subject Series contains a Name Index, General Index covering occupations, organizations, and ethnic and minority origins, Places of Birth Index, and a Birthday Index. These indexes cumulate 5 re with each succeeding volume or issue. Each of the Special Subject Volumes will be indexed as part of these cumulative indexes, so that readers can locate information on all individuals covered in either the regular or the special vol- umes. A "Guide to the Indexes" appears on page 159. Our Advisors This member of the Biography Today family of publications was reviewed by an Advisory Board comprised of librarians, children's literature specialists, and reading instructors so that we could make sure that the concept of this publi- cation to provide a readable and accessible biographical magazine for young readers was on target. They evaluated the title as it developed, and their suggestions have proved invaluable. Any errors, however, are ours alone. We'd like to list the Advisory Board members, and to thank them for their ef- forts.

  • Why Did Cleveland Indians Sign Mike Napoli Instead of Pedro Alvarez?
    Why did Cleveland Indians sign Mike Napoli instead of Pedro Alvarez? Hey, Hoynsie Paul Hoynes, cleveland.com CLEVELAND, Ohio – Do you have a question that you'd like to have answered in Hey, Hoynsie? Submit it here or Tweet him at @hoynsie. Hey, Hoynsie: Why did the Indians sign Mike Napoli, 34, for one year to play first base when Pedro Alvarez, 27, was available? Did management know Alvarez hit 27 home runs last season? -- Jimmy Garst, Roanoke, Va. Hey, Jimmy: The Indians did show interest in Alvarez, who was non-tendered by the Pirates and became a free agent. I think a couple of things probably came into play: No. 1, Alvarez was more expensive than the $7 million deal the Indians agreed to with Napoli. No. 2, the Indians felt Napoli helped them two ways – he gave their offense needed pop from the right side of the plate and he improved their defense. Napoli – whose deal should soon be made official – allows the Indians to move Carlos Santana to DH while he will get most of the time at first base. There is no doubt about Alvarez's power, but he made 23 errors at first base last season. I think the Indians preferred Napoli, considering the cost, at first and Santana at DH instead of Santana at first and Alvarez at DH. Hey, Hoynsie: The Reds seem interested in moving outfielder Jay Bruce. Is the Tribe done with its outfield or would it be interested in a guy who is as streaky hitter as there is, but definitely has pop? – Carl Neifer, Cincinnati.

  • Vincent Van Gogh the Starry Night
    Richard Thomson Vincent van Gogh The Starry Night the museum of modern art, new york The Starry Night without doubt, vincent van gogh’s painting the starry night (fig. 1) is an iconic image of modern culture. One of the beacons of The Museum of Modern Art, every day it draws thousands of visitors who want to gaze at it, be instructed about it, or be photographed in front of it. The picture has a far-flung and flexible identity in our collective musée imaginaire, whether in material form decorating a tie or T-shirt, as a visual quotation in a book cover or caricature, or as a ubiquitously understood allusion to anguish in a sentimental popular song. Starry Night belongs in the front rank of the modern cultural vernacular. This is rather a surprising status to have been achieved by a painting that was executed with neither fanfare nor much explanation in Van Gogh’s own correspondence, that on reflection the artist found did not satisfy him, and that displeased his crucial supporter and primary critic, his brother Theo. Starry Night was painted in June 1889, at a period of great complexity in Vincent’s life. Living at the asylum of Saint-Rémy in the south of France, a Dutchman in Provence, he was cut off from his country, family, and fellow artists. His isolation was enhanced by his state of health, psychologically fragile and erratic. Yet for all these taxing disadvantages, Van Gogh was determined to fulfill himself as an artist, the road that he had taken in 1880.

  • Gala2o2o Saturday, October 17
    VIRTUAL GALA2O2O SATURDAY, OCTOBER 17 THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT AND FOR JOINING US THIS EVENING Dear Friends, Welcome to the (very unusual and hopefully unique) 17th annual Reach for the Stars Gala! Six months ago, it was unthinkable that we would not be gathering together to celebrate tonight. We envisioned the ballroom, the tables, the speakers, and the dancing. Now it is up to you to take a spin at home. Right now, advocates are talking with survivors, assisting with paperwork, safety planning, and counseling them as they face an (even more) uncertain future. Right now, our prevention staff is working with teachers, coaches, and administrators on professional development programs, classroom presentations, team trainings, and parent meetings. Right now, our house is home to only half of the families we are sheltering—four families remain in a hotel after fully emptying the shelter when COVID hit. We clean like never before and advocate like we always have—in a world that looks so different. And as you read this, right now, we are getting ready to host a virtual gala for the first time. We are excited to share this evening with hundreds of people over the internet, something we never envisioned when we planned it. We are doing this with your help and our shared conviction that the show must go on because the work goes on. When our office lights went out on March 16, dozens of makeshift desks got set up. Cell phones got charged. We kept working. REACH staff kept calling survivors, partnering with schools, providing shelter—we kept doing it all.
