[ha-Safran]: Need advice

2009-06-29 Thread Julie Moss
I am converting my AV collection of about 400 items (juvenile and 
adult) to a new storage system and, of course, weeding at the same 
time.  My question is: do you think it's worth keeping the almost-100 
titles I have on cassette tape? They are audio books, read-alongs and 
music, many with pretty low circulation. A few I will try to replace on CD.
I did save the VHS movies as it seems that VCRs are still around, but 
tape players seem to be obsolete, not even in cars anymore.
Please advise. Thanks!  --Julie Moss

The Way Jews Lived
Five Hundred Years of Printed Words and Images
Constance Harris
Foreword by Shalom Sabar
Jefferson, N.C.: McFarland  Company,  2009
ISBN 978-0-7864-3440-4
385 photos, glossary, bibliography, index
477pp. hardcover (7 x 10)
Price: $95.00
Description
Intertwining history and art over five centuries, this detailed 
overview of Jewish culture and events focuses on how printed writings 
and artworks have reflected the perceptions of Jews by themselves and 
others. Filled with nearly 400 illustrations of woodcuts, engravings, 
etchings, lithographs, serigraphs and other visual works, it details 
the representation of Jews and Jewish life chronologically while 
giving individual attention to the regions and countries in which 
Jews have lived in significant numbers. From editions of the Haggadah 
to portraits to anti–Semitic cartoons, diaries to newspapers to 
novels, it analyzes a vast array of works that both molded and 
revealed Jewish popular opinion.
About the Author
Constance Harris divides her time between homes in Beverly Hills, 
California, and Birmingham, Michigan.
Reviews
In her riveting new work, The Way Jews Lived, author Connie Harris 
masterfully explores over six centuries of Jewish social history with 
keen eye and balanced perspective. This important study skillfully 
offers the reader a rare glimpse into the interconnection between 
complex world events and how Jewish life, with all its triumphs and 
challenges, is woven irrevocably through them. This enlightening book 
is a thorough, clearly organized examination which seems to leave no 
stone unturned, particularly in its fascinating analysis of the rise 
of anti–Semitism in 19th century central Europe. Sometimes inspiring, 
occasionally bittersweet, this collection which personifies the 
heroic struggle of our people is a consistently thought-provoking, 
entertaining read. I heartily recommend The Way Jews Lived to anyone, 
regardless of faith, who has a healthy appetite for knowledge.—Rabbi 
Steven Weil, Senior Rabbi, Beth Jacob Congregation, Beverly Hills, California.
Constance Harris has discovered a trove of visual representations of 
Jews—rich and poor, prominent and humble—that illustrate the 
diversity of Jewish life in the early modern and modern world and the 
complex graphic responses it inspired. Some are the work of 
well-known artists, like George Gruikshank [sic] and James Whistler, 
while others are the work of unknown illustrators for the popular 
press. Whether polished or crude in their execution, they make 
concrete the contours of Jewish life as it was being transformed by 
the forces of modernity. Harris places them in the context of their 
times and provides the reader with the keys to understanding the 
often obscure symbolic shortcuts they employ.—Todd Endelman, History 
Professor, University of Michigan.

[ha-Safran]: Audio, and a question for you

2009-06-29 Thread Heidi Estrin
One of the speakers at the AJL Convention will be Mark Blevis, the 
well-known podcaster and kidlit fan. His talk is called How I Learned 
About Amazing Jewish Books Through Social Media. This session is not 
to be missed!

I met up with Mark at the Podcasters Across Borders conference (of 
which he is one of the organizers) and did an interview with him for 
The Book of Life. He talked about what we can expect from his AJL 
presentation, and he posed a question for us that may actually help 
him shape his talk: What concerns do we have about the visibility of 
Jewish books, especially books for kids? Please do share your 
thoughts by emailing him at markble...@gmail.com!

You can listen to my interview with Mark on the AJL Convention blog 
at http://ajl09.posterous.com. It will soon appear on The Book of 
Life site as well (http://www.bookoflifepodcast.com), but you can get 
it right NOW at the convention blog.

Thanks for listening!
