Interracial Communication by Mark P. Orbe (Paperback - Sage Pubns)
Bias by Bernard Goldberg (Hardcover - Illustrated)
Goldberg thought of himself as a typical liberal television news reporter. It was only when a friend called to his attention a particular news story on his own network unduly ridiculing a Republican presidential candidate did he realize the depth of the bias within the national news media. Goldberg wrote an op-ed piece in the Wall Street Journal calling the offending reporter and his own employer to task. The resulting outcry from reporters and anchors on all three networks-including cold shoulders from co-workers-help to confirm his suspicions that bias in the national new media is indeed real. <BR>Goldberg goes beyond the circumstances of his brave op-ed and resulting ouster as member of the establishment news media in good standing. He presents the cold, hard truth about the entire news media and backs it up with cold, hard facts.

Performing Without a Stage by Robert Wechsler (Hardcover - Catbird Pr)
Performing Without a Stage is a lively and comprehensive introduction to the art of literary translation for readers of foreign fiction and poetry who wonder what it takes to translate, how the art of literary translation has changed over the centuries, what problems translators face in bringing foreign works into English and how they go about solving these problems. This book will also be of interest to translators, writers, editors, critics, and literature students, dealing as it does, often controversially, with such matters as the translator's fidelity to the author, the publishing and reviewing of translations, the nearly nonexistent public image of the stageless translator, and the value for writers and scholars of studying and practicing translation.
