Reviews
Older readers will appreciate On My Own: The Ultimate How-To Guide for Young Adults by Sally Taylor, which provides information about moving out (budget considerations, assessing a roommate, etc.), managing money, landing a job, choosing a college and more. Essential questions (e.g., "How do I find an apartment?"; "How do I write a resume?") lead the way; later chapters focus on relationships, mental health and personal safety. There's even a section devoted to understanding the U.S. government ("What is the Electoral College?"). Quizzes that open each chapter help readers to get a realistic picture of their situation. An interactive CD-ROM is included. Ages 13-up.

Gr. 11-12. High-school juniors and seniors facing the prospect of going to college and living independently for the first time will appreciate this useful guide for its practicality and thoroughness. Advice and detailed information are offered about such important life skills as finding a job, living on a budget, living with a roommate, caring for a pet, and the responsibilities of car ownership. Several chapters deal with health-related topics--exercise and nutrition, health insurance, personal safety, alcohol and drug abuse, and depression and suicide. There are also chapters devoted to charity, discussing the need to give back by volunteering or donating blood, and to good citizenship, encouraging readers to vote and become involved in the political process. It's sound, straightforward advice and information in a sensibly organized, accessible format; an interactive CD-ROM is included, supplementing the text with audio and visual content. Ed Sullivan

Condition: Very Good. Randy Newman is our great master of American song and storytelling.--Bruce Springsteen At last, the biography that Randy Newman has long deserved. The emotional precision, the humor and sweep, the truths and secrets behind his remarkable body of work . . . it's all here in Robert Hilburn's heartfelt and indispensable account of America's finest songwriter. Leave it to Hilburn to pull back the curtain on the incredible life of Newman, a shy genius who clearly trusted him enough to point him in all the right directions. It's more than a great read, it's an invitation to re-visit Randy Newman's work with renewed appreciation for the man who uniquely defined the American Experience just when we needed it most.--Cameron Crowe The definitive biography of songwriter Randy Newman, told with his full cooperation, by acclaimed biographer and longtime Los Angeles Times music critic, Robert Hilburn Randy Newman is widely hailed as one of America's all-time greatest songwriters, equally skilled in the sophisticated melodies and lyrics of the Gershwin-Porter era and the cultural commentary of his own generation, with Bob Dylan and Paul Simon among his most ardent admirers. While tens of millions around the world can hum You've Got a Friend in Me, his disarming centerpiece for Toy Story, most of them would be astonished to learn that the heart of Newman's legacy is in the dozens of brilliant songs that detail the injustices, from racism to class inequality, that have contributed to the division of our nation. Rolling Stone declared that a single Newman song, Sail Away, tells us more about America than The Star-Spangled Banner. And yet, his legacy remains largely undocumented in book form--until now. In A FEW WORDS IN DEFENSE OF OUR COUNTRY, veteran music journalist Robert Hilburn presents the definitive portrait of an American legend. Hilburn has known Newman since his club debut at the Troubadour in 1970, and the two have maintained a connection in the decades since, conversing over the course of times good and bad. Though Newman has long refused to talk with potential biographers, he now gives Hilburn unprecedented access not only to himself but also to his archives, as well as his family, friends, and collaborators. Bob Dylan, Paul Simon, John Williams, Linda Ronstadt, Don Henley, Bonnie Raitt, Chuck D, James Taylor, and New York Times' Pulitzer-winning columnists, Thomas Friedman and Wesley Morris, among others, contributed to the book. In addition to exploring Newman's prolific career and the evolution of his songwriting, A FEW WORDS IN DEFENSE OF OUR COUNTRY also dives into his childhood and early influences, his musical family that ruled Hollywood movie scores for decades, the relationships that have provided inspiration for his songs, and so much more. As thought-provoking and thorough as it is tender, this book is an overdue tribute to the legendary songwriter whose music has long reflected and challenged the America we know today.
