Excerpt: Walter Adams (August 27, 1922 September 8, 1998) was an American economist and college professor. He served as the 13th President of Michigan State University and served as an expert witness before 36 congressional committees. Walter Adams was born in Vienna, Austria in 1922. His father, Edward Adams, was an international linen and diamond merchant; his mother, Ilona Schildkraut, was a homemaker. The family moved to Brooklyn, New York, in 1935, where he attended New Utrecht High School. He earned a BA in economics from Brooklyn College in 1942, graduating magna cum laude, before joining the U.S. Army in April 1943. Adams served with distinction in the 83rd Infantry and 11th Armored Divisions, landing at Normandy in the days following D-Day, "participating in the Battle of the Bulge, and helping to liberate three concentration camps." He earned a battlefield commission as second lieutenant (later attaining the rank of first lieutenant), and in 1945 was awarded the Bronze Star for heroic conduct. After World War II ended, Adams returned to his wife, Pauline Gordon (they had wed on August 23, 1943), and his studies and completed his MA and Ph.D degrees at Yale University in 1946 and 1947. The couple's only child, William James Adams, was born in 1947. Walter Adams joined the faculty of Michigan State College (now Michigan State University) in 1947.

Excerpt: Richard Nathaniel Wright (September 4, 1908 November 28, 1960) was an American author of powerful, sometimes controversial novels, short stories and non-fiction. Much of his literature concerned racial themes. His work helped redefine discussions of race relations in America in the mid-20th century. Wright, the grandson of formerly enslaved African-Americans, was born on the Rucker plantation in Roxie, Mississippi in Franklin County, outside of Natchez. His family soon moved to Memphis, Tennessee. While in Memphis, his father Nathaniel, a former sharecropper, abandoned the family. His mother, a schoolteacher, had to support herself and her children. In 1914, Ella Wright became ill, and the two brothers were sent to Settlement House, a Methodist orphanage. In 1916, Wright, his brother, and their mother returned to Mississippi, moving in with Margaret Wilson, Wrights grandmother. Later, the family moved in with Wrights aunt and uncle in Elaine, Arkansas, but left after whites murdered Wrights uncle, Silas Hoskins, in 1916. The family fled to West Helena, where they lived in fear in rented rooms for several weeks. Mrs...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=43153 ... Read more

Product Description
Master Juba was an African American dancer active in the 1840s. He was one of the first black performers in the United States to play onstage for white audiences and the only one of the era to tour with a white minstrel group. "Master Juba" was a stage name; he is believed to be the same person who later went by the stage name "Boz's Juba" and his real name is believed to have been William Henry Lane. However, because of meager documentation, it is possible that two or more people have been conflated in the historical record. Details on Juba's early life are scarce. As a teenager, he began his career in the rough saloons and dance halls of Manhattan's Five Points neighborhood, moving on to minstrel shows in the mid-1840s. "Master Juba" frequently challenged and defeated the best white dancers, including the period favorite, John Diamond ... Read more

Wikipedia articles?
The name of this book caught my eye because I am interested in the life of William Henry Lane aka Master Juba. But upon closer inspection of the cover image I saw the following: "High Quality Content by Wikipedia Articles."

So this is a 140 page book of Wikipedia articles and it sells for $64? I hope that's not the case but the title does appear to be a collection of Wikipedia search terms. ... Read more

From FM listeners in London
This is a review of the book edition.This selection from an FM station in London has a distinct British flavor.Arranged alphabetically by author, we stroll from "Dover Beach" (Matthew Arnold), to "When you are old" (Yeats).Along the way are various fun animals: Macavity the mystery cat, Blake's Tiger, Chesterton's Donkey, and Lawrence's Snake. Perhaps some of the longer poems are not to my taste (e.g. Tennyson "The Lady of Shalott"). Each poet is introduced with a short, useful biography.The most popular poem of these listeners is Wordsworth "The Daffodils". ... Read more
