A celebration of the life and work of Ursula Norstrom—the groundbreaking editor of classic children’s books like Charlotte’s Web and Where the Wild Things Are—and a powerful defense of a child’s right to readLegendary Harper & Row children’s book editor Ursula Nordstrom was a trailblazer. Her books were honest, smart, emotional, and firsts of their kind. And—perhaps because they challenged the status quo—they were often censored or banned. But Nordstrom always fought back.Books Good Enough for You follows Nordstrom from childhood through her extraordinary career as book editor, literary revolutionary, and advocate. Full of anecdotes about some of Nordstrom’s most famous collaborators, like Maurice Sendak, Margaret Wise Brown, and E. B. White, this biography is a true celebration of collaboration and friendship.Many of Nordstrom’s books—from to Where the Wild Things Are to Charlotte’s Web—are now considered classics, but back in her day, these stories faced fierce opposition from those who deemed them inappropriate for children. In the face of this criticism, Nordstrom pushed back, building up her authors and proudly defending young readers’ access to literature that reflected their worlds.Filled with quotes from her eloquent, empathetic, and often sharply humorous editorial letters, Books Good Enough for You is a timely reminder that children deserve fresh, groundbreaking, and deeply human stories.

Epic in scope and personal recollection, The Music is Black is the story of British imperial and colonial histories, the African diaspora, and contemporary British social history put into song. Black British music has been the soundtrack to periods of profound political, social, cultural, and demographic change. It is the music of identity, indefatigability, resistance, anger, celebration, love, loss; it is the music of possibility and hope. Opening with an exploration of the sound and identity of the African diaspora as shaped by the tumultuous forces of British imperialism and colonialism from the 1400s to 1900, Jacqueline Springer then surveys the black musical landscape in Britain from 1900 to 1970. Two major imports—American rap and Jamaican ragga—are singled out for their vital contributions to the homegrown genres central to the publication: lovers rock, Brit funk, 2 tone, jungle, drum & bass, trip-hop, and UK garage and grime. Each genre is then considered with an academic framing of its social and political landscape and artist interviews that include Carroll Thompson, Neville Staple, Kenny Wellington, Bluey Maunick, Fabio and Grooverider, Skye Edwards and Ross Godfrey of Morcheeba, Megaman, DJ Target, and Slimzee. Epic in scope and in personal recollection, The Music is Black bears witness to the resilience, ingenuity, and heart of all those who create.

Them examines the rise and fall of indie music in a post-Napster landscape, marked by vast disruption in technology, politics, economics, journalism, and patronage.At once a social history and an eyewitness account of an improbable decade, Us v.
