Описание: THE TWENTY ETUDES FOR PIANO were composed during the years from 1991 to 2012. Their final configuration into Book 1 and Book 2 was determined by the music itself in the course of its composition.
Book 1 (Etudes 1-10) had a twin objective - to explore a variety of tempi, textures and piano techniques. At the same time it was meant to serve as a pedagogical tool by which I would improve my piano playing. In these two ways, Book 1 succeeded very well. I learned a great deal about the piano and in the course of learning the music, I became a better player.
New projects came along and interrupted the work on the Etudes for several years. Perhaps for that reason, when I took up work with the Etudes again I found the music was following a new path. Though I had settled questions of piano technique for myself in Book 1, the music in Book 2 quickly began to suggest a series of new adventures in harmony and structure.
In this way, Books 1 and 2, taken together, suggest a real trajectory that includes a broad range of music and technical ideas.
In the end, the Etudes are meant to be appreciated not only by the general listener, but especially by those who have the ability and patience to learn, play and perform the music themselves.

Описание:
Hypocrisy and Human Rights examines what human rights pressure does when it does not work. Repressive states with absolutely no intention of complying with their human rights obligations often change course dramatically in response to international pressure. They create toothless commissions, permit but then obstruct international observers' visits, and pass showpiece legislation while simultaneously bolstering their repressive capacity.
Covering debates over transitional justice in Sri Lanka, Myanmar, Cambodia, Democratic Republic of the Congo, and other countries, Kate Cronin-Furman investigates the diverse ways in which repressive states respond to calls for justice from human rights advocates, UN officials, and Western governments who add their voices to the victims of mass atrocities to demand accountability. She argues that although international pressure cannot elicit compliance in the absence of domestic motivations to comply, the complexity of the international system means that there are multiple audiences for both human rights behavior and advocacy and that pressure can produce valuable results through indirect paths.

Описание:
Rich Furman's third collection of poetry, Trotting Race of Time, interrogates the metaphor of revolution through haunting and imagistic lyric and narrative poems. This collection is both ethnography and autoethnography, equal parts coming-of-age tale and social document--distinctly voice poems that rip at the border between internal and external tumult. The poems are situated during the 1980s in Central America, a geography ignited by war and revolution, and caught between the covert interventions of Russia and the United States that characterized the final battles of the Cold War.
This collection of early work echoes influences as diverse as Isabell Allende and Eduardo Galeano, Diane Di Prima and Allen Ginsberg, Gerald Locklin and Ron Koertge. At their core, these poems document the call to meaning making and what it means to maintain dignity in the context of suffering. In this collection you will find stories of death squad rapists and plasma-selling dictators, of the woman who makes the perfect blue corn tortilla, and the man who sweeps the lonely town square before it awakes to twenty-million souls. A tender and often heartbreaking collection, Trotting Race of Time is evidence that the creation literature and healing are not mutually exclusive aims.
Описание: Drawing from the latest medical research, Dr. Richard Furman helps readers understand dementia and Alzheimer`s and shows them how to make lifestyle changes that can reduce the likelihood of developing these diseases.
