The Mud Folio is a book of mostly unsung lyrics by some guy you never heard of. Why should you even care? The great Ramsey Lewis, the witty Ann Hampton Callaway, the plangent Hugo Burnham and a few others have given Greenberg quotes urging you to do so. RAMSEY LEWIS "David Greenberg is the kind of lyricist that comes along once every umpteen years. His lyrics are-fresh, unique and speak to every human emotion. They not only stimulate the mind but they also find their way into one's soul. I hope you find them as enlightening as I have."- HUGO BURNHAM Gang of Four "As a drummer who only ever wrote one set of song lyrics that went on a record...I have no idea how David does this stuff without a guitar-player to constantly argue with."- ANN HAMPTON CALLAWAY "Calling all composers get barefoot and take a walk through the Mud Folio. You will find songs waiting for you along the way. Half full glasses of a hundred proof lyrics waiting to spill over with music. Get drunk as you see the world through his eyes. Wise and plenty of why's. Give it a few tries. Surprise!" Those testimonials, while real, are the kind of marketing spooge inserted into these descriptions to help you spend money on items like this; a slim volume of lyricals, unsung songs, and not even highfalutin poetry. You know, by reading it, you could turn the world into a better place, at least for the author who has been staying up nights worrying his lyrical musings should be hitting the road and making an honest life for themselves. That author, David Greenberg, has been in the music biz for most of his adult life. He's directed Grammy-nominated music videos, scripted the platinum selling Kiss eXposed for Paul and Gene, was Product Manager for Yoko Ono, Ringo Starr, Cesar Rosas, Robert Hunter, Bill Laswell, and stunt PM for Morphine, FZ, and MMW, among others, and then as Director of Marketing for a boutique booking agency/management company, working with the creme de la creme of the jazz world like Pat Metheny, Sonny Rollins, Gary Burton, Ramsey Lewis and Ann Hampton Callaway. (Now you know how he wangled those quotes getting you to read at least this far.) And yet, the bulk of his lyrics still lay in a drawer unsung; deadbeat children who should be out there earning the big bucks, or more importantly, of course, changing the lives of millions around the world. Heck, in these strange times, he'd even be grateful for a few pennies on the dollar and a few listeners given a good chuckle. While Greenberg's been writing lyrics since he was a pup, he's rarely found himself around a musician who wanted to turn the words into penetrating, timeless songs...as Cary Baker, of conqueroo wrote, "David never found his Elton John to his Bernie Taupin." Nor his Jerry Garcia, his Burt Bacharach, his Neil Innes & Viv Stanshall, his Drumbo for that matter. That's not to puff up the lyrical quality of the collection to the size of an alarmed blowfish and insinuate Greenberg is a Bernie Taupin, a Hal David, a Captain Beefheart--but even they weren't icons when they first started tipping their lyrics into the measures of their musical partners. And to canvass for his own Reggie Dwight(1) or John French(2) by trying to hand out the sheets of lyrics to budding musicians like a hyper and overzealous Dr. Feelgood doling out pills to wary prospective customers seemed a bit slimey--to the budding musicians, at least--with the predictable outcome of having very few stuck to the proverbial wall and even less deep in the literal pockets. Just a scant three have music written to them. Which three? Gotta buy the book, dude, to find out. Get your copy today and start the rest of your music career on a straight path to hitdom. Or at least jump start Greenberg's! Why hesitate? Didn't the quotes above mean anything to you? Who else do we have to cajole and connive to get you interested? Sorry, not Sir Paul. Can't. Ever since Greenberg worked with Ms. Ono... (1)Elton John (2)Drumbo

DAVID GREENBERG has directed Grammy-nominated music videos, scripted the platinum selling KISS EXPOSED for Paul & Gene, product managed Yoko, Ringo, Devo and more. He's now a Marketing Director for jazz's crème de la crème. Still the bulk of his lyrics lay unsung; deadbeats who should be out making the big bucks, or more importantly, changing millions of lives the world over. These days he'd be grateful for pennies on the dollar and a few listeners given a good chuckle. Only three lyricals have music. Why? As Cary Baker, of conqueroo noted, "David never found his Elton John to his Bernie Taupin." That's not to puff up the quality of the collection to the size of an alarmed blowfish, insinuating Greenberg is a Bernie Taupin, a Hal David, a Captain Beefheart--but even they weren't icons when they first started. BTW, which three lyrics? Buy the MUD FOLIO and find out. Get your copy today and start the rest of your music career on a straight path to hitdom. Or at least jump start Greenberg's.

Metabolic Pathways, Third Edition: Volume IV: Nucleic Acids, Protein Synthesis, and Coenzymes focuses on the metabolic pathways of the major biological constituents of living organisms, namely, nucleic acids, proteins, and coenzymes.

“A brilliant, fast-moving narrative history of the leaders who have defined the modern American presidency.”—Bob Woodward In Republic of Spin—a vibrant history covering more than one hundred years of politics—presidential historian David Greenberg recounts the rise of the White House spin machine, from Teddy Roosevelt to Barack Obama. His sweeping, startling narrative takes us behind the scenes to see how the tools and techniques of image making and message craft work. We meet Woodrow Wilson convening the first White House press conference, Franklin Roosevelt huddling with his private pollsters, Ronald Reagan’s aides crafting his nightly news sound bites, and George W. Bush staging his “Mission Accomplished” photo-op. We meet, too, the backstage visionaries who pioneered new ways of gauging public opinion and mastering the media—figures like George Cortelyou, TR’s brilliantly efficient press manager; 1920s ad whiz Bruce Barton; Robert Montgomery, Dwight Eisenhower’s canny TV coach; and of course the key spinmeisters of our own times, from Roger Ailes to David Axelrod. Greenberg also examines the profound debates Americans have waged over the effect of spin on our politics. Does spin help our leaders manipulate the citizenry? Or does it allow them to engage us more fully in the democratic project? Exploring the ideas of the century’s most incisive political critics, from Walter Lippmann and H. L. Mencken to Hannah Arendt and Stephen Colbert, Republic of Spin illuminates both the power of spin and its limitations—its capacity not only to mislead but also to lead.

"This book is superb in every way.... [It] is the only book that attempts to put into perspective just what the possible relationship between praxis and Marxist criminology might (should) be." --Eleanor Miller, University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee In this expanded and updated second edition of a revered reader in Marxist criminology, editor David F. Greenberg brings together writings about crime that range from classic articles by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels to a variety of contemporary essays. Taking an explicitly Marxist point of view, the articles deal with various aspects of criminology, including organized crime, delinquency, urban crime, criminal law, and criminal justice. To the original text, Greenberg has added pieces on race and crime, gender and crime, rape, arson for profit, and auto theft. With extensive prefatory material prepared by Greenberg, as well as editorial notes, and a glossary of Marxist terminology, Crime and Capitalism is an indispensable text for students and professionals in the fields of criminology, criminal justice, social history, and sociology.

Strange Messenger

One evening, Rose looks out her window to see enchanted lions climb out of the sea. After she scratches one behind his ears, she climb onto his back for a breathtaking tour of the cosmos. They race with Monoceros the unicorn, jump-rope crescent moons, and are rescued from a black hole by Cetus, the whale. Once back home, they rub noses goodbye and the lions return to the sea, leaving Rose to dream about her interstellar flight. Luminous illustrations perfectly complement melodic text in this out-of-this-world adventure sure to entrance readers as it introduces them to celestial bodies.

How an image-obsessed president transformed the way we think about politics and politicians. To his conservative supporters in 1940s southern California, Richard Nixon was a populist everyman; to liberal intellectuals of the 1950s, he was "Tricky Dick," a devious manipulator; to 1960s radicals, a shadowy conspirator; to the Washington press corps, a pioneering spin doctor; to his loyal Middle Americans, a victim of liberal hatred; to recent historians, an unlikely liberal. Nixon's Shadow rediscovers these competing images of the protean Nixon, showing how each was created and disseminated in American culture and how Nixon's tinkering with his own image often backfired. During Nixon's long tenure on the national stage—and through the succession of "new Nixons" so brilliantly described here—Americans came to realize how thoroughly politics relies on manipulation. Since Nixon, it has become impossible to discuss politics without asking: What is the politician's "real" character? How authentic or inauthentic is he? What image is he trying to project? More than what Nixon did, this fascinating book reveals what Nixon meant.
