The Kinks: All Day and All of the Night: Day by Day Concerts, Recordings, and Broadcasts, 1964-1997 by Doug Hinman, ISBN 087930765X
This book tracks every move in this great band's career. With the help of band members, the author has reconstructed The Kinks' meteoric rise to fame in the early '60s through its dissolution and revival in the '70s, stadium success in the '80s, and an apparently final breakdown in the late'90s. From this chronicle emerges the story of a band often at odds with an industry going in the opposite direction. The book also profiles Ray Davies, one of the most gifted songwriters in popular music. The book's easy-to-browse, day-by-day format details the band's entire concert history, all known recording sessions, its broadcast history, and all records issued in the U.S. and the U.K.

Coming of Age in Mississippi by Anne Moody, ISBN 0385337817
Born to a poor couple who were tenant farmers on a plantation in Mississippi, Anne Moody lived through some of the most dangerous days of the pre-civil rights era in the South. The week before she began high school came the news of Emmet Till's lynching. Before then, she had "known the fear of hunger, hell, and the Devil. But now there was...the fear of being killed just because I was black." In that moment was born the passion for freedom and justice that would change her life.
An all-A student whose dream of going to college is realized when she wins a basketball scholarship, she finally dares to join the NAACP in her junior year. Through the NAACP and later through CORE and SNCC she has first-hand experience of the demonstrations and sit-ins that were the mainstay of the civil rights movement, and the arrests and jailings, the shotguns, fire hoses, police dogs, billy clubs and deadly force that were used to destroy it.
A deeply personal story but also a portrait of a turning...

Gilligan Unbound: Popular Culture in the Age of Globalization by Paul A. Cantor, ISBN 0742507785
In Gilligan Unbound, distinguished Shakespeare scholar and literary critic, Paul A. Cantor, proves once and for all that popular culture can be every bit as complex, meaningful, and provocative as the most celebrated works of literature--and a lot more fun. Cantor analyzes and interprets a wide variety of classic television programs with the same seriousness, care, and creativity as he would Hamlet or Macbeth to reveal how dramatically America's image of itself has evolved from the 1960s to the present.
