Up close, Inauguration Day 2021 looked like any other-the chief
justice of the US Supreme Court administering the oath of office to
the new president on the steps of the U.S. Capitol. But pull the
lens back and this was anything but a typical election and
transition of power. In A Return to Normalcy?, Larry Sabato, Kyle
Kondik, and J. Miles Coleman bring together respected journalists,
analysts, and scholars to examine every facet of the stunning 2020
election and its aftermath, and how these events will impact
American politics moving forward. In frank, accessible prose, each
author offers insight that goes beyond the headlines and dives into
the underlying forces and shifts that drove the election from its
earliest developments to its chaotic conclusion. A Return to
Normalcy? will be an indispensable read for political junkies and
all students of American politics.
The Quiet Trailblazer recounts Mary Frances Early’s life from her
childhood in Atlanta, her growing interest in music, and her
awakening to the injustices of racism in the Jim Crow South. Early
carefully maps the road to her 1961 decision to apply to the
master’s program in music education at the University of Georgia,
becoming one of only three African American students. With this
personal journey we are privy to her prolonged and difficult
admission process; her experiences both troubling and hopeful while
on the Athens campus; and her historic graduation in 1962. Early
shares fascinating new details of her regular conversations with
civil rights icon Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. at Ebenezer Baptist
Church in Atlanta. She also recounts her forty-eight years as a
music educator in the state of Georgia, the Southeast, and at the
national level. She continued to blaze trails within the field and
across professional associations. After Early earned her master’s
and specialist’s degrees, she became an acclaimed Atlanta music
educator, teaching music at segregated schools and later being
promoted to music director of the entire school system. In 1981
Early became the first African American elected president of the
Georgia Music Educators Association. After she retired from working
in public schools in 1994, Early taught at Morehouse College and
Spelman College and served as chair of the music department at
Clark Atlanta University. Early details her welcome reconciliation
with UGA, which had failed for decades to publicly recognize its
first Black graduate. In 2018 she received the President’s Medal,
and her portrait is one of only two women’s to hang in the
Administration Building. Most recently, Early was honored by the
renaming of the College of Education in her honor.
Most students struggle with learning how to find references, use
them effectively, and cite them appropriately in a required format.
One of the most common formats is that of APA. The authors all have
vast experience teaching writing courses to various levels of
studentsfrom undergraduates to graduates in other countries.
However, there was lacking a book that could explain the basics of
APA in simple, easy-to-understand language for non-native speakers
of English, who are often unfamiliar with using references and
formatting an essay in a particular method. In order to offer
English Learner student writers a source of information that is
appropriate for their level, and is cost-effective, this updated
APA 7th edition guidebook provides students with important
information in clear, concise, user-friendly language, as well as
to offer practical examples that will help them grasp the concept
of secondary research writing. Much of the published materials on
the market targets native speakers of English. The problem with
this is that they present the nitpicky details of APA in ways that
do not make sense to native speakers of English, let alone to those
for whom English is not their first language, because the
information is presented in very technical terms that are not
easyto understand. This handbook presents the same information in
simplified terms with images and step-by-step instructions in ways
that make sense to both native and non-native English speaking
student writers. Additionally, student writers often struggle with
understanding the concept of plagiarism, as well as how to find
sources, evaluate the appropriateness of sources, and use sources
in effective ways (e.g., how to integrate quotes, when to
paraphrase, among others). This book provides this important
information that is concise and easy to understand. NOTE: This is a
REVISED edition of our original The Concise APA Handbook, which has
been updated for APA 7th edition, which was issued in the fall,
2019.
