The life and times of a living legend, the most successful and influential singer/songwriter of the past fifty years throughout the Spanish-speaking world, who also happens to be an acclaimed Hollywood and Broadway actor, a Harvard Law School graduate with a Masters degree in international law, and a political activist who ran for president in his native Panama.Blades has lived a life in full, and he tells of it with infectious brio, honesty, and wit:He writes about his mother, a Cuban child prodigy musician and radio drama actress, and his father, who was born in Colombia and was a percussionist and officer of the secret police. He also writes about his arrival in New York City from Panama in the 1970s and his rise as a leading light among the Fania-All Stars in salsas glory years.Blades writes about his initially productive and ultimately fraught collaborations with the great trombonist/singer Willie Colon, which resulted in the release of Siembra, the best-selling salsa album of all time. It sold millions of copies, and every track became a hit throughout Latin America and the Spanish speaking world, including "Pedro Navaja," his best-known song, which was inspired by Kurt Weils "Mack the Knife." He talks about his refusal to allow his music to be pigeonholed, which set the stage for his inventive and eclectic 1983 solo breakout, Buscando America, one of the great albums of that decade.He writes about his embrace of other popular musical genres and his collaborations with Linda Ronstadt, Sting, Elvis Costello, and Wynton Marsalis. He discusses his acting career and his appearances in films such as Predator 2, Color of Night, Safe House, and Hands of Stone, and about his performances in The Josephine Baker Story, Crazy from the Heart, and The Maldonado Miracle, for which he received Emmy nominations.Finally, Blades writes about his own political activism: his stance against American imperialism, which is most evident in his 1981 song Tiburon (Spanish for shark), his denunciation by anti-Castro Cubans in Florida, and his creation of a progressive political party in Panama under whose banner he made a run for president, in which he came in third place with 20% of votes.

A global perspective on early childhood learning and education giving us clear evidence that children are smart and capable, and why agency is so important for childrens learningYoung children are smart and capable. They already have most of what they need to learn and grow. Author Dr. Jennifer Keys Adair, a Professor of Early Childhood Education and a preschool teacher-turned-cultural anthropologist draws upon 20 years of stories and scientific evidence to show why agency is so important for childrens learning, even in a society that can be dangerous and complicated.Using examples from many different countries and communities around the world from Austin, Texas to Bangalaru, Karnataka - this book offers nine core experiences that honor and support young childrens agency: Exploration, Participation, Caring for the Natural World, Conflict, Difficult Discussions, Caring for People, Multilingualism, Multiplicity, and Protection.Adair emphasizes that the nine experiences have endless variation and will look different depending on where you live, what you have access to, and the types of realities you face. This book is not a manual or a "how to for teachers and parents, because there is no one best way to support childrens agency. To make this case, Adair includes stories of infants, toddlers, and young children in parks, homes, childcare programs, preschools, elementary classrooms and community centers using their agency in a variety of circumstances.The heart of the book is a hope that adults will find their own ways to create environments in which children can enact their agency early and safely, so children can shift the world they are inheriting to the world they want.

The little-known history of nuclear reactors in American life, and the role of public colleges in the Atomic Age.In The Atom Goes to College, David Munns explores the creation and forgotten prominence of teaching reactors, nuclear reactors dedicated to education during the golden age of American atomic ambitions. From the 1950s to the 1970s, a generation took the science of the atom and made it into the engineering of the reactor. Across two dozen teaching reactors in colleges and universities, the new students of nuclear engineering learned to contain, control, and govern the atom.Munns shows that teaching reactors stemmed from the agreement between American private interests and public universities to limit government control and secrecy over the atom. Teaching reactors warded off the threat of government-controlled atomic power by opening nuclear secrets to undergraduates, graduate students, and a growing international community of nuclear engineers. Over 150 nuclear engineering programs shaped attitudes toward the Atomic Age because teaching reactors were open educational facilities celebrated as accessible and visible in contrast to remote government labs doing classified work. Students witnessing the atom became a public-facing part of the atomic age, not secret but celebrated.

How iconic psychedelic records of the 1960s unleash the transformative capacity of music to expandand unhingethe mind.In the mid-Sixties, The Beatles abandoned live performance, complaining they could no longer hear themselves on stage. Obsessed with the latest records of Bob Dylan and Brian Wilson, and with imaginations fueled by weed and acid, they retired to the studio. With the help of their producers and engineers, the Beatles left a trail of novel recording practices, audio technologies, and records in their wake. But their realization that the act of listening to recorded sound was itself a means for altering consciousness may be the Beatles most significant, though largely unacknowledged, contribution to psychedelia. The records of subsequent groups such as the 13th Floor Elevators, Pink Floyd, the Byrds, and Love further reveal how psychedelic music changes not just what we hear but how we listen.In The Magic Circle, Trace Reddell threads accounts of his own psychedelic listening sessions into a hallucinatory tapestry of rock lore, drug literature, media studies, cognitive philosophy, and psychopharmacology. He builds on the pillars of psychedelic researchset (the users mood, fears, expectations) and setting (physical surroundings, social and cultural contexts)to argue for a third term, sonic substance, that emphasizes musics blending of mental and environmental influences. Proposing that the psychedelic record is a mind-manifesting drug, Reddell traces the effects of a magic circlethe feedback loop between the record and the listeneras it transforms culture, technology, and consciousness.

The definitive autobiography from Alice Cooper, the Godfather of Shock Rock and one of the worlds most iconic musicians with a career spanning six decades.In the beginning, Alice Cooper was the name of a rock group. Then my stage name. And then a monster. Now Ive written a book that tracks Alices evilution, how he and I became almost fatally intertwined, and how Ive tamed him at last.After over thirty records and sixty-plus years, the story of Alice Cooper has become a tangle of embellishments, elaborations and outright fabrications, that I think its time to sort reality from myth: the slaughtered chickens, the bans and record burnings, the evangelical terrors, Ouija boards and poltergeists, resurrections and revenge from the grave, the cross-dressers, thieves, drug addicts and hopeless alcoholics, the house fires and car crashes all will be revealed for what they really were.Im also coming clean about the extent of my addictions, my blackout years, the creative process fuelled by alcohol, drugs and round-the-clock TV, my scramble to the top of the pile and the terrible slide back down. I want to talk about the origin of Cold Ethyl, the guillotine and the dead babies, the best and worst of my reviews, my feelings of guilt and regret after people got hurt or died, what life was like on the road until the wheels came off the bus, what a romantic I am at heart and how Ive stayed married for half a century even after my wife came at me with a frying pan.And I want to talk about God. Dont worry, Im not gonna bang you on the head with a Bible, I just want to describe how it is that I found Him dwelling in me. Alice, that inveterate liar, was a voice in my ear for so long, whispering lies and sweet nothings, pretending to be my better conscience and my inspiration, pretending to be me, that I think its only right to present both sides of the story: the angel on one shoulder, the devil on the other.

It was so obvious she had something. You know, she was 13, and she had that sparkle. So much sparkle dust around her - Renee Bell, head of A&R at RCA RecordsMeet Taylor, 2003. Shes a teen who came to Nashville with blisters on her fingers from learning to play a 12-string guitar. In every room she enters, shes the youngest person (by decades) and often the only woman. And if anyone asked if she could see herself becoming the biggest superstar on the planet, her answer probably would have been yes.Writing alongside industry veterans after school, Taylor Swifts song-writing ability set her apart. But her origins are more complex than a teen tapping into a new generation of country music fans. Its a story of taking risks, like walking away from powerhouse label RCA to strike out with an unknown, unfunded new label, and of trusting her instincts when no one else did.Washington Post reporter Emily Yahr pulls back the curtain on the country music industry?from executives who said yes to Taylor (and those who regret saying no), to collaborators like Scott Borchetta, Nathan Chapman, and Liz Rose, to Nashville itself. Intimate and immersive, Yahr takes us to iconic locations like Music Row and The Bluebird Cafe, as well as to Hendersonville High and the Swifts own lakefront house.Taylor Swift: The Debut Years tells the definitive origin story of todays biggest star, with never-before-published interviews. Taylors decade in Nashville shaped her as a musician, and ultimately changed country music itself long after she left the genre.

Musician Lizzy Mercier Desclouxs kaleidoscopic foray into collage and poetry, translated and reprinted for the first time in 50 years.Desiderata is a collection of Lizzy Mercier Desclouxs poetry, photos, and diaristic fragments from her visit to New York City in the winter of 1975. Only eighteen at the time, Descloux fell into the orbits of the nascent No Wave scene festering in Lower Manhattan, where she befriended Richard Hell, Patti Smith, and ZE Records founder Michel Esteban. Desiderata charts the musicians early ambitions as a writer, revealing a potent poetic voice that careens from acid-tinged social observations to outright Dadaist semantic revelry, interspersed with collages and hand-written notes. Originally composed entirely in French, this is the first time these works have ever appeared in English and this edition includes the original French facsimile bound tete-beche with the new English translation.

A forensic investigation into a single LP: Dr. John, the night trippers Gris-gris.Two-Headed Doctor is a forensic investigation into a single LP: Dr. John, the night trippers Gris-gris. Though released in 1968 to poor sales and a minimum of critical attention, Gris-gris has accumulated legendary status over subsequent decades for its strangeness, hybridity, and innovative production. It formed the launch pad for Dr. Johns image and lengthy career and the ghostly presence of its so-called voodoo atmosphere hovers over numerous cover versions, samples, and re-invocations. Despite the respect given to the record, its making is shrouded in mystery, misunderstandings, and false conclusions. The persona of Dr. John, loosely based on dubious literary accounts of a notorious voodooist and freed slave, a nineteenth-century New Orleans resident known as Doctor John, provided Malcolm "Mac" Rebennack with a lifelong mask through which to transform himself from session musician in order to construct a solo career. Somewhere between puzzle, experimental rhythm, blues disguised as rock, and elaborate hoax, Gris-gris was a collaborative project between Rebennack and producer/arranger Harold Battiste (at the time musical director for Sonny & Cher). A few brief sessions held at Gold Star Studios in Los Angeles brought together many of New Orleans finest musicians, including Shirley Goodman, John Boudreaux, Plas Johnson, Jessie Hill, Ernest McLean, and Tami Lynn. Along with their complex histories, the cast of characters implicated in the story includes Ornette Coleman, Lafcadio Hearn, Zora Neale Hurston, Cher, Sonny Bono, Sam Cooke, Ishmael Reed, Black Herman, Prince La La, and many others. The story details in discursive style the historical context of the music, how it came together, its literary sources, production and arrangements, and the nature of the recording studio as dream state, but also examines as a disturbing undercurrent the volatile issue of race in twentieth-century music, the way in which it doomed relationships and ambitious projects, exploited great talents, and distorted the cultural landscape.

From the New York Timess former chief classical music critic, a tribute to one of the great singers of modern times and a national treasure who broke racial barriersThe night before Marian Anderson performed her historic concert at the Lincoln Memorial, she called her manager with grave doubts. What had started as a plan to sing a recital in Washingtons largest concert hall had turned, she feared, into a protest rally after she was barred from appearing on the venues whites-only stage. The next day a crowd of seventy-five thousand flocked there to see her perform on Easter Sunday, 1939, before the monument of freedom itself. This was a major triumph for racial justice, but Anderson worried it would overshadow the rest of her inimitable career.In this rich new portrait, Anthony Tommasini brings his decades of musical expertise to bear upon Andersons artistry, the journey of her life, and conversations about her legacy. After her breakout early performances in Europe, she gripped international audiences with her masterful renditions of Handel arias, German lieder, Scandinavian songs, and Negro spirituals: bold programming for her time. But recognition was harder to achieve at home. Though celebrated for her rich, lustrous voice and insightful artistry, Anderson had to contend with hotels and restaurants that turned her away in the very cities where she appeared in concert to acclaim. These tribulations brought forth memorable shows of goodwillEleanor Roosevelt fought the Daughters of the American Revolution in her honor; Albert Einstein housed her in Princetonbut were representative of the fierce racism Anderson faced. Still, she became one of the most respected and successful artists of her time and famously broke the color barrier at the Metropolitan Opera in 1955.As Arturo Toscanini famously said after attending one of Andersons performances: What I heard today one is privileged to hear only once in a hundred years. Now, we get to experience this again, in the context of Andersons dignified leadership, authenticity, and majestic presence.
