Six Sonatas for Two Persons at One Keyboard: Franz Seydelmann (Music Archive Publications Series)
B. Brauchli Manufacturer: Routledge ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback ASIN: 9057020637 |
Book Description
Seydelmann's four-hand sonatas are delightful pieces of music, written for the intimate pleasure of both performers. The two parts are consistently of equal technical difficulty and interest, the balance of the dialogue being carefully maintained throughout. They are extremely varied and well-written, with most pleasing melodies. William S. Newman, agreeing with Richard Englander, rightly considered them "among the best examples of this genre from the 18th century."

I'm No Saint: A Nasty Little Memoir of Love and Leaving
Elizabeth Hayt Manufacturer: Grand Central Publishing ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover Similar Items:
ASIN: 0446531944 |
Book Description
Sexier than Sex and the City, more desperate than Desperate Housewives, the Cosmo girl comes of age in this eye-opening memoir of vice, indulgence, and outrageous sexual behavior. Elizabeth Hayt entered her marriage with reservations. Once there, she found herself drowning in an ocean of wifely and motherly duties, and at 35, felt there had to be more to life. But she was terrified when her husband announced their marriage was over. She responded by ricocheting from one high-powered man to another in a post-marital celebration of dating that rivals anything Samantha Jones had to offer. From stripteases before media moguls to attempts at reaching the emotional core of Manhattans most lusted-after bachelors, Elizabeth revels in revealing the sex life of true players in the sexual politics of New York before finding love in a truly unlikely candidate, and more importantly, finding her own identity and self-esteem in the process.Customer Reviews:

The New American Interventionism: Lessons from Successes and Failures: Essays from Political Science Quarterly
Manufacturer: Columbia University Press ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback Similar Items:
ASIN: 023111849X |
Book Description
Intervention is as American as apple pie, writes Robert Jervis in the introduction to this book. Illustrating this proposition, twelve authorities draw a general portrait of American military intervention since the end of the cold war by examining specific interventions: Bosnia, Lebanon, Somalia, Afghanistan, Panama, Haiti, the Gulf War, and South Korea. In the process, this book focuses on the great complexity involved when deciding to enter a conflict; the almost universal circumvention of congressional authority; the ineffectualness of "pinprick" air strikes; and the essentially ad hoc nature of military deployment since the cold war.
The New American Interventionism marks the paradox of America's being the sole remaining "superpower" but unable to influence minor powers without the use of force. Exploring these and other questions, the book also speculates on the future characteristics of American intervention.

Hidden history of Cuba's role in Southern Africa.......2002-03-15
Coming after years of resistance and struggle by Blacks in South Africa, their defeat at Cuito Cuanavale demoralized the apartheid regime. As Nelson Mandela says in the book, "The defeat of the apartheid army was an inspiration to the struggling people inside South Africa! Without Cuito Cuanavale our organizations would not have been unbanned!...Cuito Cuanavale has been a turning point in the struggle to free the continent and our country from the scourge of apartheid!"
If you're interested in South Africa, Cuba, or just in history you're not supposed to know, you should read this book.
