Описание: Dawnland Voices calls attention to the little-known but extraordinarily rich literary traditions of New England's Native Americans. This pathbreaking anthology includes both classic and contemporary literary works from ten New England indigenous nations: the Abenaki, Maliseet, Mi'kmaq, Mohegan, Narragansett, Nipmuc, Passamaquoddy, Penobscot, Schaghticoke, and Wampanoag. Through literary collaboration and recovery, Siobhan Senier and Native tribal historians and scholars have crafted a unique volume covering a variety of genres and historical periods. From the earliest petroglyphs and petitions to contemporary stories and hip-hop poetry, this volume highlights the diversity and strength of New England Native literary traditions. Dawnland Voices introduces readers to the compelling and unique literary heritage in New England, banishing the misconception that "real" Indians and their traditions vanished from that region centuries ago. Siobhan Senier is an associate professor of English and the James H. and Claire Short Hayes Professor in the Humanities at the University of New Hampshire. She is the author of Voices of American Indian Assimilation and Resistance: Helen Hunt Jackson, Sarah Winnemucca, and Victoria Howard and editor of the website Writing of Indigenous New England.

Описание: Doreen Carwithen and her husband William Alwyn were two of the most versatile composers working in Britain in the mid- to late-20th century. Between them they scored more than 100 films, as well as music for the concert hall, including the scores for Odd Man Out Alwyn and Boys in Brown Carwithen. Daniel Grimwoods recording is a wonderful introduction to the couples extensive catalogues of piano music, containing Carwithens taut, neoclassical Sonatina and Alwyns 12 Preludes and Grieg-inspired Fantasy Waltzes.

A new world has opened to writers who wish to have their words turned into finished books. With technological advances in typesetting, printing, distribution, and sales, self-publishing has become a reality. But while converting your writing into a commercially available title may sound relatively easy--based upon the claims of the companies that offer this service--there are many important considerations you should be aware of before going to press. Book publishing expert Dr. Jan Yager has created an easy-to-follow guide that will take you from conception to production to selling--and everywhere in between. Whether the work is fiction or nonfiction, there are many crucial decisions to be made and pitfalls to avoid. How to Self-Publish Your Bookoffers sound and proven advice at every turn.
The book is divided into three parts. Part One takes you through the initial manuscript preparation--setting your goals, editing, proofing, and choosing a layout, as well as creating a business plan for the book's eventual release. Part Two focuses on the actual production of the book. It explains the importance of cover design, what you need to know about producing physical books and E-books, and how to turn your title into an audiobook. Part Three provides key information on how to market and sell a book--the very areas most writers understand least even though they are essential to a title's success. Also included is a valuable resource section that you can to turn to time and time again for helpful websites and e-mail that provide essential self-publishing services including free-lance editors, proofreaders, book marketers, publicists, printers, and related associations.
Today, numerous workshops and lecturers charge hundreds of dollars, promising to turn self-published books into bestsellers. The fact is that to create the best book possible, you have to start with the title's conception, not with the finished product. Here is a complete road map to what lays ahead for the self-published author--not based on hype or wishful thinking, but based on Dr. Jan Yager's lifetime of experience in the world of publishing.
