The Eloquent Oboe : A History of the Hautboy from 1640 to 1760 (9780195337259)

The Eloquent Oboe is a history of the hautboy, the oboe of the Baroque period. It reflects recent interest in this instrument, which was the first of the woodwinds to join with strings in creating the new orchestra, and had by the end of the 20th century again become a regular presence on the concert scene. Between 1640 and 1760 this type of oboe underwent dramatic changes in both function and physical form, and the majority of its solo and chamber repertoire appeared. Haynes examines in detail the hautboy's structure, its players, makers, and composers, issues of performing style and period techniques, how and where the instrument was played, and who listened to it.

Do Not Disturb : The Story of a Political Murder and an African Regime Gone Bad (9781610398428)

A powerful investigation into a grisly political murder and the authoritarian regime behind it: Do Not Disturb upends the narrative that Rwanda sold the world after one of the deadliest genocides of the twentieth century. We think we know the story of Africa's Great Lakes region. Following the Rwandan genocide, an idealistic group of young rebels overthrew the brutal regime in Kigali, ushering in an era of peace and stability that made Rwanda the donor darling of the West, winning comparisons with Switzerland and Singapore. But the truth was considerably more sinister. Vividly sourcing her story with direct testimony from key participants, Wrong uses the story of the murder of Patrick Karegeya, once Rwanda's head of external intelligence and a quicksilver operator of supple charm, to paint the portrait of a modern African dictatorship created in the chilling likeness of Paul Kagame, the president who sanctioned his former friend's assassination. ...

Εσωτερική όραση (9789605241605)

"Ο εγκέφαλος είναι, αναμφίβολα, το μεγαλύτερο επίτευγμα της βραδείας διεργασίας της εξέλιξης. Η γνώση των λειτουργιών του εγκεφάλου και των εκπληκτικών κατορθωμάτων του, όπως είναι η τέχνη και η φιλοσοφία, ενισχύει την αίσθηση της ομορφιάς και το δέος που μας προκαλούν, και μας επιτρέπει να θαυμάζουμε όχι μόνον τα αποτελέσματα αλλά και το όργανο που τα δημιουργεί." Με την άποψη αυτή τελειώνει ο Semir Zeki - καθηγητής νευροβιολογίας του Πανεπιστημιακού Κολεγίου του Λονδίνου και πρωτοπόρος στην ανάπτυξη της νευροεπιστήμης- την αναζήτηση για το ουσιώδες, την προσπάθεια για τη διάκριση του παντοτινού από το απελπιστικά εφήμερο. Το ουσιώδες, όμως, δεν είναι τίποτε άλλο παρά η προϋπάρχουσα (πλατωνική) Ιδέα μέσα μας, η οποία, σύμφωνα με τον συγγραφέα, ταυτίζεται με το αρχείο των μορφών και καταστάσεων που έχει καταγράψει ο εγκέφαλος. Από το αρχείο αυτό δεν προκύπτουν, άλλωστε, και τα δημιουργήματα του καλλιτέχνη; Για τον λόγο αυτό καμία θεωρία της τέχνης χωρίς τη γνώση του εγκεφάλο...

A Brief History of Ireland (9781849014397)

From the dawn of history to the decline of the Celtic Tiger - how Ireland has been shaped over the centuries. Ireland has been shaped by many things over the centuries: geography, war, the fight for liberty. A Brief History of Ireland is the perfect introduction to this exceptional place, its people and its culture. Ireland has been home to successive groups of settlers - Celts, Vikings, Normans, Anglo-Scots, Huguenots. It has imported huge ideas, none bigger than Christianity which it then re-exported to Europe after the fall of the Roman Empire. In the Tudor era it became the first colony of the developing English Empire. Its fraught and sometimes brutal relationship with England has dominated its modern history. Killeen argues that religion was decisive in all this: Ireland remained substantially Catholic, setting it at odds with the larger island culturally, religiously and politically. But its own culture and identity have stayed strong, most obviously in literature with a magnifi...

Carol (9780393352689)

Now a major motion picture. Patricia Highsmith's story of romantic obsession may be one of the most important, but still largely unrecognized, novels of the twentieth century. First published in 1952 and touted as "the novel of a love that society forbids," the book soon became a cult classic. Based on a true story plucked from Highsmith's own life, Carol tells the riveting drama of Therese Belivet, a stage designer trapped in a department-store day job, whose routine is forever shattered by a gorgeous epiphany-the appearance of Carol Aird, a customer who comes in to buy her daughter a Christmas toy. Therese begins to gravitate toward the alluring suburban housewife, who is trapped in a marriage as stultifying as Therese's job. They fall in love and set out across the United States, ensnared by society's confines and the imminent disapproval of others, yet propelled by their infatuation. Carol is a brilliantly written story that may surprise Highsmith fans ...

The Great Influenza : The Story of the Deadliest Pandemic in History (9780241991565)

THE #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER 'Everything you need to know about one of the deadliest outbreaks in human history' Bill Gates 'Easily our fullest, richest, most panoramic history of the subject' New York Times Book Review In 1918, the world faced the deadliest pandemic in human history. What can the story of the so-called Spanish Flu teach us about the fight against present day crises, and how to prepare for future outbreaks? At the height of WWI, history's most lethal influenza virus erupted in an army camp in Kansas, moved east with American troops, then exploded, killing as many as 100 million people worldwide. It killed more people in twenty-four months than AIDS killed in twenty-four years, more in a year than the Black Death killed in a century. But this was not the Middle Ages, and 1918 marked the first collision of science and epidemic disease. Magisterial in its breadth of perspective and depth of research, The Great Influenza is ultimately a tale of ...
