Between a Heart and a Rock Place
Grammy winner Pat Benatar recounts her career as a rock icon and “tells her story with heartfelt honesty” in this New York Times–bestselling memoir (Deseret News). One of the best-selling female rock stars of all time, the incomparable Pat Benatar writes about her Long Island childhood, her experiences in the record industry, and how her generation changed music forever in this “engaging” autobiography (Slate). The first solo female rocker ever to appear on MTV, Benatar writes with the same edge and attitude that was a hallmark of her music—from “Heartbreaker” to “Hit Me with Your Best Shot.” The winner of four consecutive Grammy Awards for Best Female Rock performance, Benatar tells a fascinating, no-holds-barred story of what it was really like to be a woman in the mostly male world of hard rock in the ’80s.

Representations of Art and Art Museums in Children’s Picture Books
What happens when the assumptions and practices of museum curators and art educators intersect with the assumptions and practices of publishing for children? This study explores how over three hundred children's picture books, most of them published in the last three decades in English, introduce children to art and art museums. It considers how the books emerge from and relate to a range of theories and assumptions about childhood and childhood development, children's literature and culture, illustration, visual art, museology, and art education. As well as examining how these theories and assumptions influence what picture books teach young readers about visiting museums and about how to l...
