J.L. Wilkinson and the Kansas City Monarchs
Baseball pioneer J. L. Wilkinson (1878-1964) was the owner and founder, in 1920, of the famed Kansas City Monarchs of the Negro Leagues. The only white owner in the Negro National League (NNL), Wilkinson earned a reputation for treating players with fairness and respect. He began his career in Iowa as a player, later organizing a traveling women's team in 1908 and the multiracial All-Nations club in 1912. He led the Monarchs to two Negro Leagues World Series championships and numerous pennants in the NNL and the Negro American League. During the Depression he developed an ingenious portable lighting system for night games, credited with saving black baseball. He resurrected the career of legendary pitcher Satchel Paige in 1938 and in 1945 signed a rookie named Jackie Robinson to the Monarchs. Wilkinson was posthumously inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 2006, joining 14 Monarchs players.

Artistic Collaboration Today
Most artists work alone, but some find a creative partner and team up for their entire careers. Artistic collaborators often testify that their work done jointly is better than what each person could create on his or her own. They say this collaboration is like marriage in the way that both partners benefit from a commitment to shared goals, excellent communication and trust. Based on studio visits and in-depth interviews, this book reports on more than forty collaborating sculptors, painters, printmakers, photographers, architechs and performers who have worked in tandem with other artists.

Teaching the Bel Canto Technique: A Practical Guide - with Anecdotes from Africa
" Colleen Philp's practical guide to the Bel Canto technique will help singers, drama students, singing and drama teachers, choir conductors, and students who are studying methods of teaching, to learn how to use or teach the Bel Canto technique of singing and how to keep their voices safe from vocal misuse and abuse. Her Anecdotes from Africa add delightful insights into her life as a teacher of Voice in South Africa, and her warm, lasting relationships with her students. It could be placed in libraries at schools and universities all over the world because, although there are many books on Bel Canto, there are not many, if any, on HOW TO TEACH in the Bel Canto tradition. Teaching singing is difficult because one is dealing not only with the technique involved, but also with any physical impairments, as well as the psychological approach of the singer. This is the first book to contain the material in Chapters 4 to 7, which cover passagio, tips from famous singers and voice teachers, vocal abuse and misuse, and correcting vocal defects. "

A Level Playing Field
As Americans, we believe there ought to be a level playing field for everyone. Even if we don’t expect to finish first, we do expect a fair start. Only in sports have African Americans actually found that elusive level ground. But at the same time, black players offer an ironic perspective on the athlete-hero, for they represent a group historically held to be without social honor. In his first new collection of sports essays since Tuxedo Junction (1989), the noted cultural critic Gerald Early investigates these contradictions as they play out in the sports world and in our deeper attitudes toward the athletes we glorify. Early addresses a half-century of heated cultural issues ranging fro...
