The Chief
An incisive biography of the Supreme Court's enigmatic Chief Justice, taking us inside the momentous legal decisions of his tenure so far. John Roberts was named to the Supreme Court in 2005 claiming he would act as a neutral umpire in deciding cases. His critics argue he has been anything but, pointing to his conservative victories on voting rights and campaign finance. Yet he broke from orthodoxy in his decision to preserve Obamacare. How are we to understand the motives of the most powerful judge in the land? In The Chief, award-winning journalist Joan Biskupic contends that Roberts is torn between two, often divergent, priorities: to carry out a conservative agenda, and to protect the Court's image and his place in history. Biskupic shows how Roberts's dual commitments have fostered distrust among his colleagues, with major consequences for the law. Trenchant and authoritative, The Chief reveals the making of a justice and the drama on this nation's highest court.

Black Music of Two Worlds
"Black Music of Two Worlds is a classic text showing the vast influence of African music on musical cultures throughout the world. First published in 1972, the book forecast today's interest in world music and the cross-pollination of musical cultures. In this new edition, the author has thoroughly revisited the text, adding new information about recent musical styles. The book begins with a study of African roots, and then shows how these musics were preserved and transformed on the North American continent, in the Caribbean, and in South and Central America. It then traces the flow of musical styles back from the New World to Africa. This is the only book to show the pervasive influence of African styles on a wide variety of musics, from traditional folk and blues to jazz to salsa, calypso, reggae, and rap. Book jacket."--Jacket
