Excerpt from The Genius and Nelson: And Other Poems These verses were written, firstly, with a view to nursing my imagination which, I believe, got a very good chance to develop, not being hampered with a Weighty scholastic education secondly, with a view to entertaining myself when I am an old man (if I ever live to be old), with a want of friends, which things I am making poor headway at securing thirdly, for the pleasure of scribbling on some letter paper which I have borrowed and never expect to have the p ice to return. But in late years, he lieving that all men possess like passions, cares and griefs and the same thoughts, if these thoughts would force themselves far enough to leave their stamp upon the memory, I have endeavored to expose my mind Without any fear of scorn. I have lately completed one score of years of the allotted three; therefore I would fain offer an apology for thrusting these verses on the unwary public, and it shall be this, that out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh. Thanking my few cherished friends for the encouragement they have given me, and hoping, should I discover to my neigh bors in these few unfinished lines a want of genius and they in turn extinguish me immediately, that the Ruling Powers will allow me to while away eternity in admiring the banks of the beautiful Beaver.

'This book is about one of my all-time heroes, Mr Nelson Riddle. It makes for fascinating reading and I am enjoying it very much.' SIR MICHAEL PARKINSON NELSON RIDDLE was possibly the greatest; one of the most successful arrangers in the history of American popular music. He worked with global icons such as Peggy Lee, Judy Garland and many more. And in a time of segregation and deep racial tensions in the US, he collaborated with leading black artists such as Nat King Cole and Ella Fitzgerald, forming close, personal friendships with both. He also wrote successful TV themes and Oscar-winning film scores. A complex and often forlorn genius, he will forever be remembered for his immortal work with FRANK SINATRA, but like fine wines his later vintage was just as palatable, if somewhat of a surprise.

The unexpected story of how genetic testing is affecting race in America We know DNA is a master key that unlocks medical and forensic secrets, but its genealogical life is both revelatory and endlessly fascinating. Tracing genealogy is now the second-most popular hobby amongst Americans, as well as the second-most visited online category. This billion-dollar industry has spawned popular television shows, websites, and Internet communities, and a booming heritage tourism circuit. The tsunami of interest in genetic ancestry tracing from the African American community has been especially overwhelming. In The Social Life of DNA, Alondra Nelson takes us on an unprecedented journey into how the double helix has wound its way into the heart of the most urgent contemporary social issues around race. For over a decade, Nelson has deeply studied this phenomenon. Artfully weaving together keenly observed interactions with root-seekers alongside illuminating historical details and revealing personal narrative, she shows that genetic genealogy is a new tool for addressing old and enduring issues. In The Social Life of DNA, she explains how these cutting-edge DNA-based techniques are being used in myriad ways, including grappling with the unfinished business of slavery: to foster reconciliation, to establish ties with African ancestral homelands, to rethink and sometimes alter citizenship, and to make legal claims for slavery reparations specifically based on ancestry. Nelson incisively shows that DNA is a portal to the past that yields insight for the present and future, shining a light on social traumas and historical injustices that still resonate today. Science can be a crucial ally to activism to spur social change and transform twenty-first-century racial politics. But Nelson warns her readers to be discerning: for the social repair we seek can't be found in even the most sophisticated science. Engrossing and highly original, The Social Life of DNA is a must-read for anyone interested in race, science, history and how our reckoning with the past may help us to chart a more just course for tomorrow.
