w e l c o m e to News Bytes, the University of North Carolina Press's
online newsletter. We are working to make News Bytes an Internet
destination: a site that you'll want to bookmark and revisit frequently.
To that end, we've added features that you might find in any general
interest magazine, including travel, gardening, and food stories, author
interviews and profiles, and book excerpts--all featuring UNC Press books
and authors. You'll also find news about the Press and our books: awards
won, bookstore events featuring our authors, and excerpts from
reviews.
With this issue, we go from a quarterly to a bimonthly publication. Our
features include an interview with Julia S. Ardery about why the
collection of folk art exploded in the U.S. after the mid-1960s . . . . an
essay on cardinals by a beloved natural history writer. . . . news about
the Press's first CD-ROM publication. . . . a recipe for oyster pie, for
the last two months of oyster season. . . . a poem for backyard basketball
afficianados.
You'll also find news roundups and information about an exciting new
website feature: a contest in which you can win up to $100 worth of UNC
Press books. No brain cells required: all you have to do is enter your
name and email address!
