"Aronson has many gifts: an ability to take historical events and render them as if they were unfolding before us; a cold eye for the prejudices of partisan contemporary accounts; the wit to untangle the knot of conflicting intepretations.... Aronson is masterly at illuminating the reality of religious faith and the cataclysmic clash of beliefs that created fertile ground for ideas about democracy and equality.... The notes are a model of lucidity for any student wanting to find out more."

Witch-Hunt : Mysteries of the Salem Witch Trials

"This is excellent history writing that involves the reader in the excitement of discovery and the thrill of recreating the past."

"Teachers should throw away other books they have been using for young adults and turn to this one."

Beyond the Pale: New Essays for a New Era

"This excellent book should be required reading for anyone who cares about young adults and their literature."

Exploding the Myths: The Truth about Teens and Reading

"As a YA publisher, editor, writer, and critic, Aronson is an eloquent, passionate advocate for high-quality YA books. The collection comprises 13 of his speeches and articles from the past six years, including "The Challenge and the Glory of YA Literature," which originally appeared in Booklist. He opens up the intense arguments about censorship, audience (how adult is young adult?), authenticity, popularity versus quality, and more."

Sir Walter Ralegh and the Quest for El Dorado

"The book chronicles Ralegh's rise from his country-bumpkin origins to Elizabeth's courtier and goes on to describe how his ambition pointed him toward the New World. It also reveals much about the intrigue at Queen Elizabeth's court, as well as the motives and machinations of those living in the Americas."

Art Attack : A Brief Cultural History of the Avant-Garde

"Ambitious yet accessible, this volume describes virtually every artistic movement challenging the social, political and cultural status quo from the 1830s to the present, each within its historical context from the bohemians of 19th-century Paris to the Generation Xers and cybertechies of today."

Biography

Marc Aronson is an author, editor, publisher, speaker, and historian who believes that young people, especially pre-teens and teenagers, are smart, passionate, and capable of engaging with interesting ideas in interesting ways.

He writes books, visits schools, teaches classes, and publishes books that affirm this belief. His mission is to inspire young people to ask questions, to look around, behind, inside of the stories the world tells us - whether that means being a detective, examining the clues history has left behind, or a reporter, telling the truth about the modern world.

A committed internationalist, Aronson has published two books that were selected as the best books in translation, and created Edge, an imprint designed to bring the voices of coming of age from around the world to American readers. It is his conviction that the mixing of genes, of ideas, of cultures, of networks of trade is the given of the world young people are entering. He is also a supporter of the Guys Read project who feels young males are often neglected by a reading world oriented towards females.

Aronson has a doctorate in American History - his focus was on William Crary Brownell, Edith Wharton's editor, and he published conclusions as a lengthy essay in the New York Times Book Review. He periodically reviews books for the Los Angeles Times Books Review, and the Minneapolis Star-Tribune, and publishes essays in journals devoted to reading and literature. He lives in New Jersey with his wife, the author gYoungadultsite Z Escorts En 1 Young Adult Site Marc Aronson Young Adult Author, Speaker, and Editor - Home Escorts Pagep f 1 Young Adult Site dYoungadultsite Z Escorts En 1 Young Adult Site Marc Aronson Young Adult Author, Speaker, and Editor - Home Escorts Pages l Young Adult Site Young Adult Site -->
