Writer Samuel G. Freedman, Donald Kroodsma and Don Stap on this edition of Fresh Air. Samuel G. Freedman's new book is Who She Was: My Search for My Mother's Life. Freedman's mother died many years ago, when he was just 18, and as he approached his mother's age when she died, he decided to find out all about her life. The result is a narrative fueled by facts. Freedman is a former reporter for The New York Times; he continues to write for the Times and other publications. He is author of four other books, including, Jew Vs. Jew: The Struggle for the Soul of American Jewry. He is also a professor of journalism at Columbia University.

Donald Kroodsma is a renowned specialist in the interpretation of bird songs. His new book is The Singing Life of Birds: The Art and Science of Listening to Birdsong. He describes how birds communicate and why. Don Stap's new book is Birdsong, and it's about people who analyze the sounds of birds. Stap followed Kroodsma from the lab into the field and them wrote his account. (Broadcast Date: March 29, 2005)
