Seven articles serve as guidelines for evaluating and acquiring Chinese rare books and provide an introduction to the rare book collections in the Harvard-Yenching Library. The last three articles present the history of and guide to the Harvard-Yenching Library. In an appendix William Sheh Wong, a former East Asian librarian and professor at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, sketches Ch’iu’s life and contributions. The editor, Cheng, has made an admirable effort to collect more than thirty published and a few unpublished articles by Ch’iu. Some articles are in both English and Chinese. They can serve as dependable and convenient resources for librarians and scholars interested in the history of East Asian librarianship in the United States. These articles, particularly those on classification, cataloging, and Chinese rare books, not only are good resources for understanding the history and principles of the classification system for the Far East collections of some major universities in the United States but are also excellent materials in examining Ch’iu’s contributions to Asian American librarianship. However, the volume would be much more useful if Cheng had included more solid scholarly essays about Ch’iu’s works. For example, Cheng attributes Ch’iu’s achievements mainly to the training of the Boone Library School. But Ch’iu mentions in his reminiscences that his experiences with books and economics he encountered in his early childhood and youth “furnished the basis for my education in America” (3). Moreover, the articles Ch’iu wrote about Chinese classification and rare books showcase his broad knowledge of Chinese classical literature, philosophy, history, and art. Can we assume that Ch’iu’s cultural background was another important factor in forming his “library spirit”? If the editor had included some articles about this aspect, the volume would have more scholarly value. In addition, library service was the core of Ch’iu’s long career. He once said, “Don’t let any user go away from the library empty-handed.”1 It would have been nice if Cheng had provided some information on the service aspect and thereby presented a more complete picture of Ch’iu’s accomplishments.","PeriodicalId":81853,"journal":{"name":"Libraries & culture","volume":"41 1","pages":"276 - 279"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-06-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1353/lac.2006.0017","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"66797692","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

He explains that such “historicization of private life” was a natural accompaniment to the emphasis on home and domesticity in Europe and the United States (161). In addition, he addresses the effects of westward movement in the United States on those who remained behind in the “ruin” of New England. These last two chapters bring to mind Patrick Hutton’s recent book on Philippe Ariès in which he describes the time of tradition as existential in that “it embodies lived experience as it emerges out of the past and confirms our sense of continuity with it.”2 In the conclusion to this thoughtful and well-documented book Fritzsche holds that the new way of perceiving history that followed from the French Revolution “extended to shape social discourse and cultural practices in general. . . . History was choreographed as an endless number of departures . . . the presence of absence” (202). Thus he describes history as melancholy and nostalgic. Arguing that history is predicated upon our awareness of a lack of sufficiency and permanence, Fritzsche notes that “historical mindedness disenchants before it re-enchants,” which may be difficult to accept (217). However, historians are also products of their own traditions and circumstances and so arrive at various conclusions regarding the ambiguities implicit in the historian’s enterprise. Stranded in the Present offers an insightful treatment of the modern period and the changing concept of historical time. Filled with interesting details garnered from archival research and comprehensive notes, the book would have benefited from a bibliography as well as a more inclusive index.","PeriodicalId":81853,"journal":{"name":"Libraries & culture","volume":"41 1","pages":"286 - 287"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-06-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1353/LAC.2006.0034","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"66798498","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Fasick, Julie Cummins, Blanche Woolls, and Ken Haycock are just a few of the numerous well-known librarians, editors, educators, and critics who contributed entries. Being influential, nationally or regionally known, a leader in professional associations or legislative support, an innovator or a philanthropist in support of library service to young adults were the selection criteria for inclusion. All individuals included are deceased; the lives of these ninety-seven library leaders span two centuries. The earliest entry, Hannah Packard James (1835– 1903), worked for the Sanitary Commission during the Civil War and in 1870 opened the Free Library of Newton, Massachusetts. An active member of the American Library Association, James was member number 210, a council member, and vice president from 1896 to 1898. The latest entry, Michael L. Printz (1937–96), a nationally known expert and advocate for young adult library services, spent his professional career as the librarian for the Topeka West High School, an adjunct professor, and a marketing consultant for Econo-clad Books. He died an untimely death from heart surgery complications in 1996. In 2000 the first Printz Award for excellence in young adult literature was given by the Young Adult Library Services Association in Printz’s honor. Most of the likely suspects are included on Miller’s list as well as less well known leaders and pioneers. Readers and researchers will find entries for librarians such as Mary Hill Arbuthnot (1884–1974), who is remembered for her famous and wellused textbook for children’s literature, Children and Books. Julie Corsaro writes that Ursula Nordstrom (1910–88), an editor for Harper & Brothers (later Harper & Row) for forty-three years, edited both the Caldecott and Newbery medal winners in 1957 and again in 1964. Nordstrom is also credited with discovering Maurice Sendak when he was a window display designer for F. A. O. Schwartz. A less well known librarian, Minerva Amanda Sanders (1837–1912), led the charge for an open shelf system and full library privileges for children in the 1870s in Ohio. Miller notes that no selection process is perfect. An obvious exclusion was Siddie Jo Johnson, who served as children’s librarian and Coordinator of Children’s Services for the Dallas Public Library for twenty-seven years. Johnson, a published poet and author, was the recipient of awards from the Poetry Society of Texas and the Texas Institute of Letters as well as from the American Library Association for her work in children’s library service.
