Sonic Persuasion: Reading Sound in the Recorded Age

Acknowledgments

Acknowledgments I would like to thank three groups for their assistance in helping to research, write, and publish this book. First, I thank the librarians and archivists at the University of Illinois libraries, Snell Library at Northeastern University, the Boston Public Library, Mugar Library at Boston University, the Boston Athenaeum, and the Gilmore Music Library at Yale University. Librarians and archivists at these institutions dug up the most extraordinary materials for me to listen to and read. Second, I thank the many scholars who have read and heard chapters of the book over the past few years. These include Mark Smith, Joshua Gunn, Mirko Hall, Thomas Rickert, Geoff Carter, Ryan Blum, Dan Larson, Eric Jenkins, Ian Reyes, Cara Finnegan, David Cisneros, Charles Morris III, Cara Buckley, John Louis Lucaites, Eric King Watts, Jeremy Engels, Dana Hall, Mattea Garcia, Erik Johnson, Brett Ommen, Karlyn Kohrs Campbell, and Adrienne Hendee Jacobson. The best part of writing is the scholars one gets to engage with and I have derived much enjoyment from working on this book. Last, I thank the staff at the University of Illinois Press who have done such a professional job of getting the book from concept to publication. These include Kendra Boileau, Danny Nasset, Jennifer Clark, Joseph Peoples, Mary Lou Kowalski, Jennifer Reichlin, David Drummond, Mary Wolfe, and Roberta Sparenberg. I would recommend to any author that they find a way to work with this group of professionals. Sonic Persuasion ...
