UB professors author new books
Books by UB professors have been pouring out of publishing companies
in the past few months, on subject matter ranging from music to
educational policymaking. Among the authors and their publications
are:
	Frank Cipolla, professor emeritus of music, a new book
published by the University of Rochester Press, "The Wind Ensemble and
its Repertoire." Co-edited by Donald Hunsberger, it is a collection of
essays in commemoration of the 40th anniversary of Rochester's Eastman
Wind Ensemble.
	Charles Keil, professor of American Studies, a new book
published by the University of Chicago Press. "Music Grooves" is a
series of essays by Keil and 1991 MacArthur Fellow Steven Feld
exploring the dual themes of musical participation and musical
mediation. Subjects range from jazz, blues, polka, soul, rock, world
beat, rap and karaoke to scholarly debates in music theory and
popular-culture studies, anthropology and sociology. Keil is also the
author of "Urban Blues," "Tiv Song," "Polka Happiness," "Folk Music
and Modern Sound" and "My Music."
	Catherine Cornbleth, professor of learning and instruction in
the UB Graduate School of Education, a new book that examines the
complex and controversial issue of multicultural politics and
education policymaking. It has already raised the hackles of
conservative educators and led to much debate in the field of
education reform. Titled "The Great Speckled Bird," the book was
written with Dexter Waugh of the San Francisco Examiner and takes
readers behind-the-scenes for a look at social studies curriculum
reform and textbook policy in California and New York. 
	Irving Massey, professor of English, a new book published by
Wayne State University Press titled "Identity and Community
Reflections on English, Yiddish and French Literature in Canada."
