With American Pop: An Audio History, saxophonist Allen Lowe has assembled something truly impressive, a mammoth, nine-hour-long box set of early popular music in America, from 1893 to 1946. Thats a lot of tunes--everything from Vess Ossman and John Philip Sousas concert band to Frank Sinatra, Charlie Parker, and Roy Acuff. The evolution and branching out of the music is impressive enough, but so are Lowes liner notes, which stretch past 100 pages and somehow succeed at tying all these tunes together. Unlike another canon of early recorded music, Harry Smiths Anthology of American Folk Music, the tunes here are arranged chronologically; its a staggering affair filled with pops earliest moments on record--from the Unique Quartettes 1893 cylinder recording of "Mamas Black Baby Boy" to Lenny Tristanos "What Is This Thing Called Love" from 1946. As Lowe explained in a 1998 interview with Amazon.com, the juxtaposition of genres and styles takes over and the tunes--not necessarily bestsellers but always well-chosen--taken as a whole give a history of music like nothing else. An overwhelming set and a must-have for fans of pop musics roots. --Jason Verlinde

A mesmerizing narrative about the Cheng Chui Ping slipped into the United States in the early 1980s, part of a huge wave of Chinese immigrants hoping to realize the American Dream. Her path to that dream began with an underground bank for illegal immigrants run out of a noodle shop in New York Citys Chinatown. She became known as Sister Ping and built a global people-smuggling conglomerate that stretched from China’s Fujian province to Africa, Europe, and South America, relying on one of Chinatown’s most violent gangs to protect her power and profits.

A conservative historian defends Americas past by debunking four dozen common liberal myths.
In this follow-up to the best-selling A Patriots History of the United States, Professor Larry Schweikart once again challenges liberal historians and their shameful attempts to distort our countrys legacy. This time he takes on authors of popular textbooks who, in an effort to be politically correct, tarnish Americas image in the eyes of our high school and college students.

Ever-intelligent horror novelist Monahan (The Blood of the Covenant, 1995, etc.) retells a true story--true as far as the participants knew--about a poltergeist. The book purports to be a recently discovered manuscript written by Richard Powell, an eyewitness of the Bell Witch haunting in Robertson County, Tennessee, 181721. Monahan says that his first skeptical reading of the manuscript led him to six books confirming the authenticity of the events.

If storytelling and oral history often seem like endangered species in a culture dominated by disposable infotainment, NPR host Ira Glass could be seen as something of a preservationist, his low-key passion for the magic moments that inform everyday life the driving force behind his successful This American Life radio series. This second series anthology culls its 10 stories onto two discs loosely centered around notions of "Crimebusters" and "Crossed Wires.
