Fred Moody (au). When you strip away the luster, novelty, & excitement surrounding the newest generation of computer software -- multimedia software on CD-ROM -- you find a world not of high-tech efficiency but of simple human muddling. Moody discovered this when he spent more than a year shadowing a team of Microsoft developers working on a children’s compact disc to be called Explorapedia. He watched the struggle to achieve the perfect blend of technical innovation, artistic charm, & educational content. Offers a lesson in what it takes to manage the exhilarating & turbulent process of turning a computer into a multimedia art machine.

Tomi Ungerer (au). This delightful children’s book, written & illus. by Tomi Ungerer, tells the story of Mr. Zeno Krall & his wife Colza, an expectant cat couple. But when their baby is born, to their great surprise he is a dog! “How can it be? What shall we do?” he asks his wife. “Love him, he is ours,” she replies, & they welcome their new son, Flix. Growing up as a dog in Cattown is a tough experience for Flix. But he learns to climb trees & do all the things cats do, while his godfather teaches him to speak Dog, & do all the things dogs do.

When he later marries this same poodle, their first child turns out to be -- to their surprise -- not entirely as expected!

Philippe Wamba (au). When Philippe Wamba’s African American mother married his Congolese father in 1964, the family they would raise in Boston, MA, & Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, would become a test case of the pan-African ideal: that black people around the world share common interests, common goals, & a common destiny. In this deeply felt book, Wamba uses his personal background as a lens through which to view three centuries of shared history between Africans & African Amer. It is at once a vividly detailed memoir & a richly researched work of scholarship that deftly weaves accounts of Wamba’s multinational childhood with enlightening analyses of history, music, literature, religion, & politics.
