This volume contributes to the study of ‘new’ sonic and visual sources and their intertextual relationship with the documentary, as well as traditional understandings of ‘text’, in the history of education. It both presents case studies of research and points to new avenues of further research. This volume arose from a joint conference of the History of Education Society, UK, and the Australian and New Zealand History of Education Society, held in 2016, on the theme ‘sight, sound and text in the history of education’. The conference drew together educational and media historians, as well as archivists and museum professionals, to examine methodological issues, and a range of examples of sensory and textual histories. The event from which this book arose showed that there is so much more to consider in this area. This book was originally published as a special issue of History of Education.

This runaway New York Times bestseller tells the rags-to-riches story of Ralph Emery, a humble Tennessee farm boy who fell in love with radio and made it his life. For 40 years, Emery has brought America's most heartfelt music to millions. Now in a celebrity-studded memoir, he tells of his four marriages, his battle with drugs and alcohol, and the efforts that have made him a true country music legend.

"One of the most exciting best-sellers in recent memory was Ralph Emery's Memories, the autobiography of the popular host of TNN's Nashville Now. Across the country, fans made the book a phenomenal success, keeping it high on the New York Times best-seller list for six months." "The reason was simple: people love Ralph Emery and his wonderful recollections about the world of country music. And now Emery, who over the course of forty years in broadcasting has come to know and launch a thousand country stars, among them Patsy Cline, Loretta Lynn, Dolly Parton, and Barbara Mandrell, picks up where Memories left off." "Emery himself says his first book drew on less than one percent of his memories of his years on television. With More Memories, he takes readers backstage and into the limelight with tales about dozens of top stars, including Willie Nelson, Jimmy Dean, Reba McEntire, Roger Miller, Porter Wagoner, Glen Campbell, George Jones, Loretta Lynn, Dolly Parton, Garth Brooks, and many, many more. Readers will travel the same roads these stars have traveled: roads of happiness, despair, excess, recovery, estrangement, and reconciliation. Their stories are at once harrowing, funny, inspiring, and heartwarming." "Within these pages, Emery uncovers new facts - and mysteries - surrounding the death of Patsy Cline; reveals how the Grammy Awards Show ended up in Nashville one year, and why it may never return there again; explains why a square-dance call during a Bob Wills show in Texas mortified the local gentry; and relates the visit of Roy Acuff's ghost to the TNN offices. And those are just a few of the memories Emery shares." "Illustrated with many never-before-seen photographs, More Memories offers a wealth of enjoyment for readers and fans everywhere."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
