In Rough Country: Essays and Reviews $4.99 In twenty-nine provocative essays, Joyce Carol Oates maps the “rough country” that is both the treacherous geographical and psychological terrain of the writers she so cogently analyzes – Flannery O’Connor, Cormac McCarthy, Philip Roth, E. L. Doctorow, and Margaret Atwood, among others – and the emotional terrain of Oates’s own life following the unexpected death of her husband, Raymond Smith, after forty-eight years of marriage. |

The Encyclopedia of Country Music $26.95 To its millions of fans, country music is America's music, offering a window into the sweet dreams and cruel disappointments of ordinary American lives. Now the renowned Country Music Foundation, custodian of Nashville's legendary Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum, has compiled a fascinating and infinitely useful guide to this beloved musical genre–The Encyclopedia of Country Music. Nearly 1,300 alphabetical entries put eight decades of country music at readers' fingertips, from the earliest '20s recordings of the Carter Family and Jimmie Rodgers to the '90s chart-topping albums of LeAnn Rimes and Garth Brooks. A distinguished field of 137 contributors provides an eminently readable and reliable guide to the singers, songwriters, record companies, and industry movers and shakers who have made country music the increasingly popular–and profitable–juggernaut it is today. Hundreds of photographs, some never before published, accompany the text, including 75 color photographs from the CMF Library's record collection, surveying the history of the country music album cover. Twelve appendices provide lists of country's all-time best-selling albums, country music stations nationwide, all the country music awards won over the years, and much more. Authoritative, accessible, and unerringly accurate, The Encyclopedia of Country Music will delight fans. It is an essential reference for libraries, radio stations, and the entertainment industry. |

In Rough Country: Essays And Reviews $9.29 In twenty-nine provocative essays Joyce Carol Oates maps the "rough country" that is both the treacherous geographical and psychological terrain of the writers she so cogently analyzes Flannery O’Connor Cormac McCarthy Philip Roth E. L. Doctorow and Margaret Atwood among others and the emotional terrain of Oates’s own life following the unexpected death of her husband Raymond Smith after forty-eight years of marriage. "As literature is a traditional solace to the bereft so writing about literature can be a solace as it was to me when the effort of writing fiction seemed beyond me as if belonging to another lifetime " Oates writes. "Reading and taking notes especially late at night when I can’t sleep has been the solace for me that saying the Rosary or reading The Book of Common Prayer might be for another." The results of those meditations are the essays of In Rough Country balanced and illuminating investigations that demonstrate an artist working at the top of her form. |

Encyclopedia of Environmental Health $2250 Knowledge in the field of environmental health is growing rapidly. Within the context of external factors that define its boundaries, environmental health has evolved over time into a complex, multidisciplinary and ill-defined field with uncertain solutions. Many of the key determinants and solutions to environmental health lie outside the direct realm of health and are strongly dependent on environmental changes, water and sanitation, industrial development, education, employment, trade, tourism, agriculture, urbanization, energy, housing and national security. Environmental risks, vulnerability and variability manifest themselves in different ways and at different time scales. While there are shared global and transnational problems, each community, country or region faces its own unique environmental health problems, the solution of which depends on circumstances surrounding the resources, customs, institutions, values and environmental vulnerability. This work will contain critical reviews and assessments of environmental health practices and research that have worked in places and thus can guide programs and economic development in other countries or regions. Environmental health draws upon the methods and findings of many established academic disciplines, from clinical medicine to epidemiology, chemistry and biology to toxicology, economics to political science and ethics. The interdisciplinary nature of the pursuit underscores the need to synthesize the results of increasingly narrow academic disciplines and to incorporate their contributions into a big-picture understanding of the dependence of our health on the environment. Integrative assessment, whether qualitative or quantitative, is a useful approach in environmental health. This work seeks to conceptualize environmental health more clearly, to describe the best available scientific methods that can be used in characterizing and managing environmental health risks, to extend the field of environmental health through new theoretical perspectives and heightened appreciation of social, economic and political contexts, and to encourage a richer analysis in the field through examples of diverse experiences in dealing with the health-environment interface. The approach is to avoid gloom and doom and instead provide a framework for further research that is based on valuable ideas and experiences from different parts of the world. With some categorical threats, it may be possible to establish clear causal linkages and effects but where the health hazard is the result of environmental change, the risk bundles are likely to embrace interactions among streams of fundamental human processes including public policies, economic activities, technological applications, and varying lifestyles. Dealing with environmental risks invariably involves coping with the uncertain, the unknowable and the inherently indeterminable. The situation is not helped by the fact that mechanisms relating |

Authoritative and informative source for country music info.,
I’m not a huge fan of country music, but I found this encyclopedia, with its many interviews and interesting tidbits, to be a fascinating read. The author seems to have amazing access to many of the most prominent country music stars and fills his accounts with witty accounts of the stars’ lives. In short, I recommend this book highly.

Poorly Proofread,
This won’t be much help to collectors. Many album titles listed in the discographies are wrong as well as release dates. I still pick it up from time to time just for a laugh and every time I do I find another error.
