David Adams' second edition work entitled A Handbook of Diction for Singers "is a
complete guide to achieving professional levels of diction in Italian, German, and French, the main languages of classical vocal repertory...The book combines traditional approaches proven successful elsewhere, presenting the sounds of each language in logical order, along with essential information on matters such as diacritical marks, syllabification, word stress, and effective use of variety of foreign-language dictionaries."
The 'Woman Question and Higher Education: Perspectives on Gender and Knowledge Production in America edited by Ann Mari May "addresses one of the most compelling topics of our time and speaks to our need to understand the long struggle of women to gain an authoritative voice in higher education and the factors that underlie that struggle. It is a uniquely interdisciplinary study that offers a provocative, contemporary look at the 'Woman Question' in relation to higher education at the dawn of the twenty-first century. Leading feminist scholars from a wide variety of perspectives and disciplines ... evaluate the role of biology, discrimination, and choice in rationalizing women's exclusion from fully participating in the process of knowledge production, as well as examining institutional impediments."
