In this illustrated selection author Wendy Hart Beckman provides encapsulated biographies of ten artists who participated in the Harlem Renaissance. In each instance Ms. Beckman provides a careful outline of the artist's background, development, contributions, and later life. This is a good reference tool for readers with an interest in African-American history or specifically Black artists of this era. The Harlem Renaissance was a significant movement in American culture and Ms. Beckman does well to offer readers a summary of some of the leading lights of that period.
Description from Children's Literature
"The Harlem Renaissance could be described as a series of circles.

This inner group was led by W.E.B. Du Bois (NAACP), James Weldon Johnson (NAACP), Charles S. Johnson (NUL), and Alain Leroy Locke (Howard University). Circling outside this inner group were the writers and artists who represented the young heart and soul of the New Negro movement. This circle was made up of Langston Hughes, Zora Neale Hurston, Je | |  | | Communication Tools Made Easy

The national park system was established to keep areas of natural and cultural significance "unimpaired for future generations." Author Wendy Hart Beckman explores the subjects that have historically concerned the parks, from the building of dams to the control of wildlife. And she outlines the issues facing the parks today: How can pollution be controlled? What are the interests of different cultural groups? How can visitors enjoy the parks without spoiling the experience—for today's visitors and the visitors of tomorrow?
Who’s afraid of the big bad wolf? At one time, the managers of many national parks were. For example, early in the history of the National Park Service, hunters were encouraged to kill wolves in some parks. Some people thought the wolves were wiping out other animal populations. Now, wolves are seen as wildlife that must be protected. In fact, the National Park Service is reintroducing wolves to parks to restore them to their natural state. Wolves represent just one of many dilemmas facing national parks.
