Noise exposure has been the focus of research attention for nearly 40 years, since the classic work by Glass and Singer (1972). Several studies have documented adverse effects of chronic noise exposure on children, including disrupted reading acquisition (Bronzaft & McCarthy, 1975; Evans & Maxwell, 1997), memory impairment (Hygge, Evans, & Bullinger, 2002), and physiological stress responses (Evans, Hygge, & Bullinger, 1995). Fortunately, these effects appear to be reversible: The introduction of noise attenuation strategies resolved reading problems in elementary school children (Bronzaft, 1981), and the end of chronic noise exposure (because of the closing of a nearby airport) reversed the adverse effects on memory (Hygge et al., 2002). There is mounting evidence that ...

He spent much of the time in Greece and returned there in 1974 to teach English. By then he knew he wanted to be a writer; he lived a life of "vagrant hedonism" and wrote a novel that turned out to be "crap.
[Graham Swift] includes an interview of himself by a fellow writer, Patrick McGrath, but equally interesting are the interviews Swift conducts with Caribbean novelist Caryl Phillips and Kazuo Ishiguro, the Japanese-born author of The Remains of the Day. Swift counts all three among his close friends.
Two of Swift's eight novels -- Waterland and Last Orders -- have been made into movies. "The author's role in it all defies definition," he says, "partly because in truth you have no role, your work is done. You are vital to the whole enterprise (the megalomaniac inside you can say: al...
