Publications and Multimedia Materials Resulting from Grants

PUBLICATIONS AND NONPRINT MATERIALS (1996-1997)

In seeking to fulfill Andrew Carnegie's mission to promote "the advancement and diffusion of knowledge and understanding," the Corporation funds studies, research and writing, and similar projects that result in printed materials for public dissemination. More than 1,000 books, reports, textbooks, and curricula have been published with Corporation grants in the past fourteen years. Although a high proportion are intended for academic and professional readers and other specialists, quite a few have reached a broad audience, and the ideas have taken root in policy and practice. Among recent publications that explore issues central to the Corporation's programs are The Buying of the President, by Charles Lewis (Avon Books), Safe Passage: Making It Through Adolescence in a Risky Society, by Joy Dryfoos (Oxford University Press), Within Our Reach: Breaking the Cycle of Disadvantage, by Lisbeth B. Schorr (Anchor Press), and What Matters Most: Teaching for America's Future (National Commission on Teaching & America's Future).

The addition of audio, visual, and computer-based materials to the list of published works reflects ever more fully Andrew Carnegie's precept that "only in popular education can man erect the structure of an enduring civilization." The wealth of videotapes and cd-roms produced in the last year testifies to the Corporation's increased support of high-quality audiovisual materials, particularly those for children. Electronic publishing, moreover, has become an increasingly important arena for dissemination, and many of the Corporation's grantees now have Web sites.

The following selections of publications and nonprint materials resulting from grants were received in 1996-97. They are listed by program area.
