| "description":"<p>\u201cBesides being a goldmine for scholars, [Oral Literature in Africa] is a delight for the general reader\u2026 The people and animals and spirits of Africa live, laugh, weep and quarrel between the covers of this book.\u201d\r\n\u2014 Journal of African and Asian Studies <p>\r\n\r\n<p>First published in 1970 by Oxford University Press, this classic study has been hailed as \"the single most authoritative work on oral literature\u201d. It traces the history of story-telling in Africa, and brings to life the diverse forms of creativity across the African continent. Author Ruth Finnegan is thought to have \u201calmost single-handedly created the field of ethnography of language\u201d with this book, and it continues to be a go-to text for anyone studying African culture. <p>\r\n\r\n<p>However, despite its enormous scope and popularity, Finnegan\u2019s book is now out of print. It is particularly hard to find in Africa, where its original retail price was beyond the budget of most university libraries. The non-profit organization <a href=\"http://www.openbookpublishers.com/\">Open Book Publishers</a> is endeavoring to make this definitive book freely available to African students and scholars \u2014 and indeed to any interested readers around the world. The Unglued Ebook will be particularly friendly to people in places with slow Internet connections: once a copy is downloaded, the book can be read offline.<p>\r\n\r\n<p>This edition, developed in conjunction with Cambridge University\u2019s World Oral Literature Project, will include a new introduction and extra digital material. When Finnegan\u2019s book was first published forty years ago, the technology did not exist to include audio clips. Part of this Unglue campaign will involve the creation of a free online repository of Finnegan\u2019s audio recordings of African story-telling, carefully collected during her fieldwork in the late 1960s. These clips, together with original photographs taken during her research, will become available for the first time to researchers everywhere \u2014 an invaluable resource to scholars of African literature and culture. <p>\r\n\r\n<p>After decades of outstanding research, for which she was awarded an Order of the British Empire, Oral Literature in Africa remains the book closest to Finnegan\u2019s heart. \u201cIt was so frustrating to me that my book has been largely unavailable to readers in Africa\u201d, she says. \u201cIt is wonderful to think that it will now be freely read in the very continent it discusses\u201d. <p>\r\n\r\nOpen Book Publishers is an entirely non-profit organization run by academics. It aims to make high-quality research available online to readers everywhere, regardless of their income or access to libraries. By applying a CC BY license to this book, other researchers will be able to add to and extend Finnegan\u2019s original work quickly, easily and freely.<p>\r\n\r\nIf this campaign is successful, the new edition of Oral Literature in Africa will be launched at the World Oral Literature Project Workshop in Cambridge, England on 29-30 June 2012. Premium Donors at the $1,000 level will be invited gratis to this event or another similar event and given two nights free accommodation.<p>", | |

| "description":"<p>6-321 is an autobiographical novel for readers in 5th grade and up. I'd wanted to write about sixth grade for a long time before I finally sat down and wrote 6-321. This was the turning point in my life: the moment when a demanding teacher encouraged me and planted the seed of my future career.<p>\r\n<p>There were so many stories to tell, I didn\u2019t know where to start. Sitting down with my class picture one night, I typed everything I could remember about each person: nicknames, talents, witticisms, even what their apartments looked like inside.<p>\r\n<p>In order to make Marc Chaikin (my narrator and alter ego) sound real, I went back to the homework and school newspaper articles I\u2019d saved from that year. Then, very carefully, I impersonated my younger self.<p>\r\n<p>You wouldn\u2019t think that writing your own story would require research, but I spent many hours in the library, taking notes on news stories, ads, and the New York City curricula for sixth grade in 1963. Really, it was fun to dive back into the past, and to discover that, in every issue of Time magazine, there were news events that I vividly remembered.<p>\r\n<p>Many young readers have told me how much they enjoyed 6-321, even though they don\u2019t usually like realistic fiction. That\u2019s a very satisfying compliment. But my favorite response was a review from a young stranger on Amazon: \u201cI thought this book was one of the best books I\u2019ve ever read\u2026 I recommend this book to people of all ages\u2026\u201d That\u2019s the review every author hopes for!<p>\r\n\r\n<p>Michael Laser writes novels for adults and young people, including The Watermelon, Cheater, Dark & Light, Old Buddy Old Pal, The Rain, 6-321, and Children\u2019s Rules for Parents.

| "description":"\r\nTEN BOOK SET OF EXTRA EASY LEARN-TO-READ BOOKS\r\n\r\n<p>Award winning, <I>Budding Reader Book Set 1: Cat and Rat</i> is the first of five learn-to-read e-book sets \u2013 one for each short vowel sound \u2013 in the <a href=\"http://buddingreader.com/\">Budding Reader</a> e-book series. Developed in consultation with the former Director of Language & Literacy at the Harvard Graduate School of Education and illustrated by an Emmy Award winning artist, this series uses research based best practices for teaching reading. <p>\r\n<p>Budding Reader e-book sets are designed to be a child\u2019s very first readers. The sets ease children into reading by introducing just one or two words at a time. The same story evolves over the course of ten books as new words are added. <p>\r\n<p>Previewing a book dramatically improves comprehension, so Book 1 is a wordless book which compels the child to preview the story before any words are added. Repetition aids brain development, so each subsequent book expands the story by introducing only one or two words at a time. Children, even preschoolers or reluctant readers, learn: 1)They can learn to read if they try; and 2)The more words they learn, the more interesting the story. To better understand what makes <I>Cat and Rat</I> unique, <a href=\"http://files.flipsnack.com/iframe/embed.html?hash=edb7e05f49be7d8d648928012q730948&wmode=window&bgcolor=EEEEEE&t=1327065261\">take a peek behind the cover</a>.\r\n<p>\r\n<p><I>Cat and Rat</i>, which won Gold in the Mom\u2019s Choice Awards for Best in Family-Friendly Products (or Services), was first published in December, 2011 by a socially responsible independent publisher. Inspired by TOMS Shoes one-for-one business model, Budding Reader pledges to donate an e-book to a child in need every time they sell one by working with non-profit literacy organizations. Because of Budding Reader's partnership with non-profit Worldreader, children in Kilgoris, Kenya are reading <I>Cat and Rat</i> on their e-readers today.\r\n \r\n<p>Worldreader has one goal: to make books available to all in the developing world with the help of e-reader and e-book technology. Worldreader, which currently runs programs in Ghana, Kenya and Uganda (and in June 2012 will launch in Rwanda), aims to reach one million children by 2015. This 2011 video speaks to the need for books in the developing world and how e-book technology can help to bring books to all. Soon Worldreader will have distributed 800 e-readers and 96,000 eBooks to children in Africa.<p>\r\n<iframe width=\"450\" height=\"259\" src=\"//www.youtube.com/embed/F55h04PEb08\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen></iframe>\r\n<p>\r\n\r\nWHY UNGLUE THIS BOOK SET?\r\nLearning to read is a neurologically complex skill which many children find difficult. This book set was designed to make learning to read easier and more fun for emergent readers, even reluctant ones. If you help us reach our funding goal, we'll publish a special Unglue.it edition of this e-book set so that children everywhere can have a positive first learn-to-read experience just in time for the start of the traditional school calendar in the United States. Thank you in advance for your support.\r\n<p>\r\n\r\nTHE BUDDING READER STORY:\r\nAs the mom of a struggling reader, Melinda Thompson had trouble finding learn-to-read books that were easy enough for her child to read. She set out on a mission to produce the easiest learn-to-read books ever and worked with an amazing team to create them. Budding Reader e-books were continually refined over a period of years based on input from literacy experts, teachers, librarians, parents and emergent readers. You can read her story in the book, <I>Tales of the REVOLUTION: True Stories of People who are Poking the Box and Making a Difference</i> published by the Domino Project. <a href=\"http://www.buddingreader.com\">To learn more about Budding Reader, visit buddingreader.com.</a>\r\n<p>", | |

Where are the identifiers to better mash up compaigns with other resources? There should be keys for isbn, oclc, and goog (all repeatable!) and a non-repeatable key ltwork to connect to the same work at LibraryThing. The latter can give you links to author pages and common facts such as awards a book has won: http://www.librarything.com/services/librarything.ck.getwork.php
Thanks for taking a look at our API. What we have is a very early cut based on what we could easily get running with tastypie (http://django-tastypie.readthedocs.org/en/latest/). So I will take a look at your comments and as I learn more about tastypie, make changes to improve things. Let me ask one question right away however. How would you handle versioning of the API? Would you object to having the version #in the URI?
URIs of works, editions, campaigns etc. should have no version and they should be full URIs of course. For instance instead of /api/v1/identifier/19912/ better http://unglue.it/identifier/19912. This is the REST approach. Such URL/URI can send data in different formats (HTML, JSON...) depending on the query, it could also redirect or you do URL rewriting at your server. But it should be a clean ans stable URI. The API base URL, however, can be versioned, such as http://unglue.it/api/v1/. But this URL should not be used to construct pseudo-URIs. The following URL patterns would make it more clear:
http://unglue.it/api/v1/work?id=5601
http://unglue.it/api/v1/?work=5601

The "work" key should not be something like
/api/v1/work/82055/but just82055, so you can easier create the URL/URI https://unglue.it/work/82055/. The substring/api/v1/work/is just a technical artifact that makes use of the API more complicated.
