Aberjhani's Blog: Notes of a 21st Century Digital Scribe - Posts Tagged "nook-reader"

After gaining a space on library shelves around the world, winning several major awards, and inspiring enthusiastic reviews, Encyclopedia of the Harlem Renaissance has now been released as an eBook. This means iPad-savvy, Kindle-carrying, and Nook-nabbing eReader fans may happily download the celebrated book into their private digital library.

News about the Encyclopedia of the Harlem Renaissance eBook (Facts On File and Infobase Publishing) came just this week. Along with the total lunar eclipse (which yes, I did stay up to watch) it made a great holiday surprise. One good major reason to pick up the Encyclopedia in any format (aside from homework assistance) at this time is for the background information it provides on any number of current television series and films that deal with America in the 1920s through the 1940s, and that tackle issues at any time pertaining to multiculturalism, diversity, democracy, war, etc.

One example is HBO’s hit television series Boardwalk Empire, about alcohol prohibition and mobster antics in the Northeast during the Jazz Age. Another is the movie The Great Debaters and the forthcoming film On The Shoulders of Giants. And there’s also the PBS broadcast… well, you get the point.

Just a couple of weeks ago, Google launched its Google Editions eBook Store, which includes several of my other titles: Christmas When Music Almost Killed the World, I Made My Boy Out of Poetry, and The American Poet Who Went Home Again. Kensington Books made The Wisdom of W.E.B. Du Bois available in eBook format earlier this year. This new eBook edition of Encyclopedia of the Harlem Renaissance (ISBN 1438130171) now makes almost all of my books available for digital download.
