Tuning In: American Narrative Television Music
by Ron Rodman, Carleton Professor of Music and Director of the Carleton Symphony Band

Just released! Music has always been at the heart of American television. Amongst the many roles it plays in broadcasting, music entertains viewers with live and videotaped performances, evokes moods and identifies characters and settings, and sells products through commercial jingles. Tuning In looks at and listens to the first fifty years of American narrative television music as a unique art form. Drawing on music in a wide variety of television genres, author Ron Rodman develops a new theory of television music to explain how it conveys meaning to American viewing audiences.

A Long Trek Home: 4,000 Miles by Boot, Raft and Ski
by Erin McKittrick, Class of '01

In June 2007, Erin McKittrick and her husband, Hig, embarked on a 4,000-mile expedition from Seattle to the Aleutian Islands, traveling solely by human power.

With Honor: Melvin Laird in War, Peace, and Politics
by Dale Van Atta

In 1968, at the peak of the Vietnam War, centrist Congressman Melvin Laird (Carleton Class of '44) agreed to serve as Richard Nixon's secretary of defense. It was not, Laird knew, a move likely to endear him to the American public—but as he later said, “Nixon couldn’t find anybody else who wanted the damn job.” For the next four years, Laird deftly navigated the morass of the war he had inherited. In fighting to bring the troops home faster, pressing for more humane treatment of POWs, and helping to end the draft, Laird employed a powerful blend of disarming Midwestern candor and Washington savvy, as he sought a high moral road bent on Nixon's oft-stated (and politically instrumental) goal of peace with honor.
University of Wisconsin Press. Hardcover. $35.00
