On the pages of this historical novel, the majesty of that grandeur period in this country's cultural history known as the Harlem Renaissance is brought to life. Within the pages of this novel, you will meet Langston Hughes, Countee Cullen, Dr. W. E. B. Du Bois, Zora Neale Hurston, Jessie Fauset, A. Philip Randolph, James Weldon Johnson, Dr. Alain Locke and many other artists that made this period so unique. You will walk down 135th Street and Lenox Avenue to the famous 135th Street Library where Regina Andrews held poetry readings and intellectual conversations among the literary elite of the community. The author takes you to the other side of Harlem where the majority of the people reside. You visit a rent party, and a tenement apartment, places where people struggled to survive. You will also visit the famous Harlem nightlife with stops at the Cotton Club, Connie's Inn, and the Sugar Cane Club. There are also scenes at the Amsterdam Theater in Lower Manhattan with the Ziegfeld Follies. Making My Way to Harlem is the first historical novel about the Harlem Renaissance since Richard Bruce Nugent's, Gentleman Jigger written in 1930 and Wallace Thurman's Infants of the Spring, written in 1932. Nugent and Thurman were part of the Bohemian writers who defied the conventional style of writing. Both are characters in this novel.

Lane Denton & "The Dirty Thirty" is a remarkable story of how a freshman legislator, Lane Denton, helped to organize "The Dirty Thirty," who courageously reformed the Texas Legislature and helped to defeat a governor, lieutenant governor, and speaker of the House of Representatives. Their efforts practically led to Sissy Farenthold's election as governor of the state. In his informative memoir, Denton exposes the conspiracy of silence about the assassination of President John F. Kennedy and the misuse of power by then-Attorney General Greg Abbott and then-Governor Rick Perry.

Drawing from more than 25 years of research and project development, the authors describe how accelerated commercialization strategies building on advances in science and technology offer a sustainable source of wealth. They show how collaboration among business, government, entrepreneurial, and academic partners—all focusing to leverage local resources to compete in the global marketplace—is an established and powerful strategy for 21st century business creation and economic development. This collaborative success strategy of thinking globally and acting locally, along with supportive activities such as technology incubators, research methods, entrepreneurship training, and use of networks for resource sharing is what has come to be called the Technopolis paradigm. Because a maturing Technopolis evolves as an integral component of a city, state, or larger sociopolitical unit, it promotes attention to sustainability and quality of life. Further, Kozmetsky and Williams consider the Technopolis paradigm as a process of constructive capitalism in that it utilizes private or corporate commercialization of science and technology to create wealth and shared prosperity, the value of which is set by competition in a free market.

Now in paperback for the first time, Elementary Classical Greek is a trusted handbook for learning the language that does not presuppose a knowledge of Latin. Based on the premise that average American students can learn the language, the lessons are thorough but not pedantic, simple but not superficial, and the textbook has been proven in the classroom and for independent learners. Elementary Classical Greek stresses a clear and orderly presentation of the language, accompanied by individual sentences or short passages that illustrate grammar, give practice in reading, and help build vocabulary. Drawing on decades of experience teaching Classical Greek, Frederick Williams presents a text in which grammatical explanations are clear, succinct, and correct and the selected readings are varied, interesting, and useful. Included in the nearly one-hundred reading passages are excerpts from Plato's Ion and Republic, Aristophanes's Clouds, and Paul's first letter to the Corinthians. The popular textbook is designed for a course meeting for two semesters. There are twenty-four lessons in all, with appendixes on prepositions, Greek numbers, and the Greek verb, plus Greek-English and English-Greek vocabularies, a grammatical index of subjects, and a list of Greek authors cited. Selected readings are presented first in simple, then more complex, language until the reader is led to the actual words of the ancient author - all within the same lesson. This elementary device helps bridge many of the difficult gaps between modern English and ancient Greek.

This incisive study examines the uses of computers and telecommunications in the teaching of writing in the fields of journalism and education. The research, based on the results of a questionnaire submitted to college journalism and communication programs in the United States, focuses on the current and projected use of computers and deals with such innovations as the use of online information services (newswires and archives, encyclopedias, statistical source), computer resident reference aids (thesaurus, dictionaries, style books), networking for instructor and student convenience, and software offering a variety of assists (spelling and grammar checks, readability analyses, stylistic assessments, minor editing suggestion, simulation of research for story writing, and instructor assistance in grading). In addition, the author concludes that desktop publishing will be the next technology-based expansion of communications curricula, in light of the recent availability of page design layout with provisions for type fonts, graphics, and bidirectional justification. It is often said that the software industry will mature as developers improve in knowledge of their markets; Computer Assisted Writing Instruction in Journalism and Professional Education describes that market and concludes that computer assisted writing instruction is an integral part of professional writing programs with many applications yet to come. It will be of primary value to educators planning, managing, or teaching in computer assisted writing laboratories concentrating on professional training. It will also be immensely useful to educators developing beginning level writing laboratories, and those individuals and companies developing software for writing instruction or textbooks for computer-based courses.

The "new media" -- interactive videodiscs, telecommunications, computers, VCRs, teletext systems, and more -- present researchers with new challenges when it comes to studying practical applications or theoretical effects. This valuable volume aids researchers in first recognizing the special qualities of interactivity, demassification, and asynchroneity that the new media have created and to instruct professional researchers and students in alternative research methods, multiple methods, and the triangulation of results. For the first time, a variety of methods are examined as they apply to new media research, including mathematical modeling, controlled experiments, quasiexperiments, surveys, longitudinal studies, field studies, archival and secondary research, futures research and forecasting, content analysis, case studies, and focus groups. Whether the problem to be researched is as focused as considering the cost-benefit for a school wishing to adopt computers in the classroom or as wide-ranging as determining the effects of video games on child socialization, this up-to-date and thorough guide alerts researchers to the pitfalls of traditional methodology and offers a firm foundation upon which they can build reliable, accurate projects able to produce sound results.
