The Country Houses of
John F. Staub

"Stephen Fox knows more about Houston than anyone knows about any other American megalopolis. Among historians, he is legend. . . . Richard Cheek, one of the premier architectural photographers of his generation, knows how to highlight both formal and sensuous qualities of buldings. His magnificent color photos bring out qualities of Staub's work that would go unnoticed in standard monographic studies. . . . THE COUNTRY HOUSES OF JOHN F. STAUB . . . stands well out from the crowd. Fox and Cheek have created . . . one of the most beautiful architecture books of the year."--The Architect's Newspaper, 4/16/08

FEATURE

Texas Music History on a Radio Near You

Gary Hartman, author of The History of Texas Music is involved in a new radio program entitled "This Week in Texas Music History." The 90-second show airs each Monday morning on Austin's KUT 90.5 FM during NPR's Morning Edition at 6:33 a.m. and 8:33 a.m. Hartman expects many other NPR affiliate stations across the state to pick up the show and begin broadcasting it on a weekly basis. Hartman, who writes and hosts the show, is considered one of the nation's pre-eminent scholars on the subject of Texas music.
"'This Week in Texas Music History' has had a very positive response from audiences," Hartman said. "Some listeners have compared it to Garrison Keillor's nationally popular 'Writer's Almanac.'".
