As Boston's revered Fenway Park hits its 100th anniversary, it's a good time to look back at the full century of Red Sox baseball played in the team's home park. Author of more books on the Red Sox than any other writer, Bill Nowlin has produced another one here. This is no dumbed-down version of Fenway Park history told in trivia form. The average reader will easily answer some of the questions, certainly, but our guess is that the average reader will feel more frustrated than genius after working his or her way through these 100 questions for the 100 years. The goal isn't to give the reader a difficult time, though. It's to provide better insights into the park and the play on the field. Reading through this book will hopefully be an educational (and enjoyable) experience.

Built around a biographical essay on the life and career of Pumpsie Green, the first African American to play for the Boston Red Sox, the last major-league baseball team to integrate, Pumpsie & Progress offers essays from a half-dozen authors on matters ranging from Jackie Robinson to the Red Sox of today. Contributing authors include George Mitrovich, David Muchnick and Frances Muchnick Goldstein, David Nevard and David Marasco, Bill Nowlin, Glenn Stout, and Chris Wertz.

Don't miss this tribute to the writer and composer of the greatest love song ever written, "This Land is Your Land." Woody Guthrie's voice takes us back to the America that created a movement of such voices; you listen to Woody at the risk of being won over to the cause of working class Americans and the understanding that their cause is yours as well. --Norman Lear This book was written to accompany the Rounder Records release of the same title, which encompasses six compact discs and one DVD. It includes a complete transcription of all the words to all the songs and stories which Woody Guthrie recorded for the Library of Congress, the recordings he made for the Bonneville Power Administration, the radio dramas recorded for the Office of War Information during World War II and to help with public health efforts in the years after the war. There is also an essay on the SS Reuben James (including a recent interview with the last-known survivor).
