When Ray Farabee was born at home six weeks premature in 1932, the doctor said he wouldn't make it through the night. This is Ray's story of making it through that night and beyond--through the Depression and World War II years, emerging as a leader in public school, working his way through college, leaving the university for two years as a national student leader (1950's), practicing law (1961-1988), serving in the Texas State Senate (1975-1988), and working as Vice Chancellor and General Counsel of the University of Texas System (1988-2000).

The music of Ray Charles blends the sounds of R and B, gospel, and rock and roll to create a unique sound that attracts music listeners everywhere. Ray Charles began playing the piano at age three, only four years later he lost his sight, but his love for music persisted and he continued to play saying, "You don't give up what's natural." Charles traveled the country making a name for himself and his music. The going was not always easy but as long as Ray could play his music he knew he would be all right. Music lovers will relish this new profile of the man who continues to make listeners get up and dance.
This is the first book-length biography of Hall of Fame catcher Ray Schalk, once described as the yardstick against which all other catchers were measured. For years the top defender at his position, Schalk was also a fiery leader on the field, and he guided two teams to the World Series. (One of those teams, however, was the 1919 Black Sox, whose conspiracy to throw the Series left Schalk with a deep and abiding sense of betrayal.) After he retired as a player, the Illinois native spent decades as a manager or coach on the collegiate, minor league, and major league levels. Schalk entered the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 1955.
Author and educator Ray Browne combined interests in folklore, literature, and American Studies into a groundbreaking approach to the study of the humanities and social sciences, a field which eventually came to be known as Popular Culture Studies. In addition to co-founding both the Journal of Popular Culture and the Journal of American Culture, Browne wrote and published more than 80 articles and book chapters and eight books, and edited almost 50 other book-length volumes. This collection features his key culture studies writings from a decades-long academic career. It includes some of Browne's most influential and notable scholarship, along with previously unpublished work, corrected pieces, and "new" articles edited from multiple sources.
Without Ray Arcel (1899-1994), the 20th century world of boxing would have been markedly different. The credibility of it as a sport would have been greatly lessened. Arcel's prominence is all the more interesting because he made his mark not as a fighter, promoter, or manager, but as a trainer. From Benny Leonard to Roberto Duran and Larry Holmes, Arcel stood in the corner for champions of every weight division that existed in his lifetime, a record that remains unequalled. This biography chronicles Arcel's life inside the ring--and outside, where he was a highly secretive man who maintained relationships with some of the chief mob figures of his day. Through a wealth of information from Arcel's unpublished memoir, this work offers an extraordinary portrait of one of boxing's most influential and enigmatic figures.
