Описание: Allan Evans's groundbreaking biography of Ignaz Friedman gives the reader the behind and the between of the life and career of this extraordinary pianist. Friedman's repertory emphasized the major works of Beethoven, Schumann, Liszt, and Brahms, but he was perhaps best known for his interpretation of the Chopin mazurkas, which by all accounts he played with the same rhythmic nuance as their composer. Evans examines Friedman's life as a cultured Jewish musician from Poland; his studies in Leipzig and Vienna; his marriage to Manya Schidlowsky—a Russian countess and relative of Tolstoy; and his performing career, teaching, and retirement in Australia.

Описание: Introduction
Why did I Write this Book?

It is said that everyone has a story to tell. The question that is being constantly posed to me is you are always writing about or talking about everybody else's life, who is going to write about your life?) Although this is not a complete autobiography of my life, it does include many examples of an amazing journey, shared and supported by my wife of 67 years and 15 days. Like the geese in flight, when she saw me getting tired, she got in front so I could draft off of her. Before beginning to write, I was wondering what I would include? I did not want to write another rag-to-riches story; that seemed too commonplace. I did not write about my amazing journey to boast about my career, but thought that my story is something with which many can relate to theirs. My success is not conventional and I wanted to tell the readers that they can stated as a viewpoint from Michael Coles, in which I concur, that they can face their own Goliath-like challenges and still refuse to let anyone tell them, what their limits are. I have been fortunate during this phase of my journey to have had people come into my life at just the right moment. No one's success in life is without the help of others. No doubt there are people who have done more remarkable things than me in their lives, yet my journey has been hugely transformational for me. When I look back on it now, so many years down the track, I wonder how I managed to end up where I have. From having no idea about how my future would look, or even how I wanted it to look, to finding so much fulfillment.
Of course there is another reason I decided to write this book. Although you may start your career as a non-descript blue collar worker, through life experiences and some more education you can become a recognized scholar. I hope me telling my story will help dispel a long held myth, that people who study vocational education did it because they could not learn academically oriented subjects,
If this book helps or inspires just one person to pick themselves up and move in a new direction, I'll have achieved my goal. Every journey ends (before it begins again) with returning where you started to share what you have learned. For me, I am contemplating returning back to the idea that I enjoy telling or writing about people's life, so I am waiting to read or tell about yours.

Read the story that inspired the classic movie

It seemed that the entire justice system was deaf to his pleas and all too willing to ignore the evidence his defenders had worked so hard to unearth. In the end it was only a slip by the real perpetrator that proved his innocence.

While the movie certainly had it's share of truth, it was still a movie, and parts were fabricated.

This book tells the real story behind the movie.

Описание:

There is a persistent myth about hula with its grass shirt and hip movements. But hula tells a story or has a message, and the movements of the hands, feet, and other parts of the body only help in telling the story.

From this book, you'll understand how:

Traditional and modern hula deepens your love for the dance
Through hula, you can learn about the Hawaiian language and culture
Hula meets the needs in other countries
Hula helps with your physical and emotional challenges
Hula meets your spiritual needs

As a professional dancer and teacher, Leiola expresses her love for hula and the Hawaiian culture through her performances and teaching. For her, hula is the essence of Hawaiian culture-she wants to share this love of hula with others.

Minoru, as a connoisseur of hula, is interested in the background of hula and its role in Hawaiian culture and about its current status and prospect for the future.

Hula is evolving and herein lays its strength. To understand hula properly, you need to know about the past, for it helps to explain the present. In other words, the unchanging parts of the past explain the changing present. Hula is, indeed, the artistic language of Hawai'i, but it is also the artistic language of the world.

Описание: Alfred Hitchcock is not often associated with a social justice movement. But in 1956, the world’s most famous director focused his lens on an issue that cuts to the heart of our criminal justice system: the risk of wrongful conviction. The result was The Wrong Man, a wrenching and largely overlooked drama based on the false arrest of Queens musician Christopher “Manny” Balestrero. Despite a detective’s assurance that the innocent have “nothing to fear,” Manny and his family faced ruin from false charges that he twice robbed an insurance office. Aspiring to documentary-like authenticity, Hitchcock and his team meticulously recreated one man’s odyssey through the corridors of justice. In so doing, they opened a window into New York’s history of mistaken identity cases. The Balestrero prosecution was not an isolated miscarriage of justice. Instead, Manny fell victim to the same rush to judgment and suggestive eyewitness identification procedures that had doomed innocent defendants in earlier cases.
