Book Description

World Musics in Context is a wide-ranging survey of musics of the world, in their historical and social contexts, from ancient times to the present day. Ethnomusicologist Peter Fletcher begins by describing aspects of musical style and function in relation to the early developments of civilizations. He then goes on to explore, in five parts, music of the ancient world, music of Africa and Asia, European music, North and South American traditions, and music of the modern world. A compendium of information as well as an examination of musical causation and function, this book gives a deeper understanding of the various musical traditions that contribute to the modern, multicultural environment.

Personal biography of an author I know.......2007-02-12

I bought this book on the basis of reading several short stories by this same author. He suggested I might like the book. It is his personal autobiography, the story of a young lad growing up in England. His personal philosophies, experiences and attitudes are fun to explore through this book. I recommend it to anyone who likes autobiographies.

Book Description

These are the first two volumes in an exquisite new series of?collector-quality photo books by RZM Publishing. Embracing an aesthetic seen only in high-end art photography books, RZM presents over 28 rolls of newly discovered combat film shot by six Waffen-SS Kriegsberichters (War Correspondents) during the renowned East Front battle of Kursk, July 1943.

In addition to being an invaluable visual reference for all students of military history, this poignant six volume series focuses on the pure human experience of the front-line infantryman, a subject too often eclipsed by the grandeur of the political and military landscape of the Second World War.

Printed on deluxe European semi-matte art paper for unparalleled photographic reproduction, each page literally "pulls" you into the images, making you feel as though you are a part of the action. This documentary style series presents the photographs in the actual sequence in which they were taken, creating a visual diary unlike anything previously published on the subject.

Waffen-SS "Kursk" Vol.1 and Vol. 2?Both volumes contain extraordinary images of the men and armored vehicles of the 1st SS Panzer Grenadier Division "Leibstandarte Adolf Hitler" and the 3rd SS-Panzer-Grenadier-Division "Totenkopf," in action and at rest.

The Waffen-SS at Work and Play.......2007-05-20

Volume 1 of this series contains photos taken by three photo-journalists with the Waffen-SS Propaganda Company. Two of these wartime photographers ("Kriegsberichte") were assigned to the 1st SS Division, Leibstandarte Adolf Hitler. The other was on assignment with the 3rd SS Division, Totenkopf. Thus, this first volume basically contains photos pertaining only to those two divisions. (The same is likely to be true of the other five volumes because of the six photographers who took the photos displayed in all six volumes, three were assigned to the Leibstandarte Adolf Hitler Division and the other three were assigned to the Totenkopf Division. As the war ended, an order came down to destroy all photos and negatives in the Waffen-SS propaganda archives. These six volumes are comprised of photos painstakingly reproduced from some contact sheets, depicting 28 rolls of film of action in and around the Kursk tank battle, that somehow survived.)

Volume 1 contains 89 photos in all. About a third or more are reproduced in amazing clarity. The rest are of average to above average quality. The pictures ranges from depictions of the SSLAH attending an outdoor concert to the troops being emplaced or moving out to battle.

Many of the photos are simply stunning. There are photos, for example, of Nebelwerfer rockets being fired and streaking across the sky and a machine gun emplacement showing the machine gun crew wearing their camouflage masks. In many photos you can actually read the cuffbands and clearly see the SS runes and death's head symbol on the soldier's uniforms.

There are a few drawbacks to the book.

First, the publisher crows that the photos in the book are of "unparalled photographic reproduction" and are on high-quality paper to improve the reproduction. Yet this does not appear to be the case. The photos on the front and back covers of the book are also in the book itself, but in both instances the cover photos are much, much sharper and clearer than the same photos in the book.

Second, about one out of seven photos bridges the pages (i.e., runs across two pages) in the book so that you do not get a clear picture of everything in the photo. (There is no excuse for this since the photos only extend an inch or two onto the second page and the publisher could have just made the book a little bigger.)

Third, the captions for each photo are quite sparse, just a short sentence. The back of the book contains additional background information on each picture, if you want to keep flipping back and forth.

Overall, given its rarity well worth the money if you don't mind its flaws and can get it at a substantial discount off the cover price.

Good Series.......2007-02-21

I purchased all 6 books in the series, the photos are all in black and white none of which I had seen before, quality is good with a basic caption under each photo and a more detail information regarding the photo and what stage of the battle is at the rear.

kursk.......2005-07-07

A really impressive collection of photos.Detailed,clear and an excellelent format. The majority of the pictures i hadnt seen before.A must have series for any waffen-ss enthusiast.
The best thing about the books is the price.You get every cents worth and a little bit more. Go and get them.

Interesting but not worth the price!.......2004-11-29

After seeing the clarity of the photos online at the publishers site I was very impressed. When I purchased Volume 1 I was very disappointed in the quality of the photos in the book. I emailed the company and was informed they were disappointed as well and Volume 2 would be a great improvement.
Well guess what! Volume 2 and the remaining volumes photo quality is poor and not as clear as those on the companies RZM Web Site. I admire the concept but what were they thinking! Perhaps printing on a higher quality paper might have helped.
Do not waste your money is my recommendation.

A bit pricey but well worth it........2004-10-24

I bought this book based on the reviews and was not disappointed. The fact that most of the photographic history of the Waffen SS on the eastern front has been lost makes this series of books a great find indeed. The quality is certainly top notch.The only thing that bugged me was the fact that the captions at the photos were very basic. You have to go to the end of the book to read a more detailed description. I understand that this was necessary to preserve the format of the book but it took some getting used to. Overall, i was very impressed with the amount of research and attention to detail the author showed and will most likely end up buying the whole series; albeit over a period of time my budget can allow!

Book Description

Â“I think that I or any of my brethren have a right to choose a wife for themselves as well as the whites, and as the whites have taken the liberty to choose my brethren, the Indians, hundreds of thousands of them, as partners in life, I believe the Indians have as much right to choose their partners among the whites if they wish.Â”Â—William Apess, An IndianÂ's Looking-Glass for the White Man, 1833

In this groundbreaking study, Thomas Ingersoll argues the Jacksonian American Indian removal policy appealed to popular racial prejudice against all Indians, including special suspicion of mixed bloods. Lawmakers also perceived a threat to white AmericansÂ' transatlantic reputation posed by the potential for general racial mixture, or "amalgamation." Beginning in the 1780s, and for the ensuing half-century, alarmed government officials attempted to separate full blood and mixed-blood Indians into enclaves in the Far West, to isolate them from white migrants out of the eastern states and prevent the rise of a new, genuinely alternative mixed society.

Ingersoll begins by examining the origins and early history of mixed bloods in North America. He follows with the lives of individual mixed bloods, an exploration of how the growing mixed population informed racial thought in the Early National Period, and the role of mixed-blood chiefs in opposing the Indian Removal Act of 1830.

The Native Americans of mixed ancestry in 1830 and why Andrew Jackson implemented a law to remove them.

Both sides of the debate over legal abortions have invoked the images of the "back-alley butcher" and the coat hanger as a portrayal of abortionists in the years before the Roe v. Wade decision. Anti-abortionists use these symbols to portray abortionists as greedy, exploitative, and less than professional, while supporters of choice invoke them to warn of the jeopardy in which women's lives would be placed if abortion were recriminalized.

But the truth about pre-Roe abortion is often quite different. Carole Joffe interviews 45 health-care professionals who either provided safe abortions or access to them in those years, focusing on, as she puts it, "the mounting frustrations with anti-abortion legislation that led otherwise highly conventional physicians to various degrees of law breaking and law bending" and the impact that decision had on their personal and professional lives. These people got involved because they could not stand by while women suffered from poverty or health complications; for many, it was more a matter of profound internal religious questioning. "I felt the solution to God's problems, in the world, was through faith," says one doctor. "Through faith in God we'd find a way to solve these problems... God wasn't going to solve all our problems. We've got to solve them ourselves." Doctors of Conscience is a solid, well-rounded portrayal of several people who came to such decisions; as an informed document, it offers much clarity and insight into a highly controversial issue.

Book Description

Explores the lives of the heroic and committed physicians who have worked to ensure safe abortions for women in the face of neglect--and worse--from hospitals, national medical organizations, and colleagues.
