Описание: Hannah Webber fears she will never be a mother, but her prayers are finally answered when she gives birth to a son. In an era of high-stakes parenting, nurturing Sam's intellect becomes Hannah's life purpose. She invests body and soul into his development, much to the detriment of her marriage. She convinces herself, however, that Sam's acceptance at age fourteen to the most prestigious of New England boarding schools overseen by an illustrious headmaster, justifies her choices. When he arrives at Dunning, Sam is glad to be out from under his mother's close watch. And he enjoys his newfound freedom--until, late one night, he stumbles upon evidence of sexual misconduct at the school and is unable to shake the discovery. Both a coming-of-age novel and a portrait of an evolving mother-son relationship, The Nine is the story of a young man who chooses to expose a corrupt world operating under its own set of rules--even if it means jeopardizing his mother's hopes and dreams.

Описание: "A fascinating portrait of activism deepened and sustained by Herculean labors of research and investigation."--The Nation
Historian Kevin Starr described Carey McWilliams as "the finest nonfiction writer on California--ever" and "the state's most astute political observer." But as Peter Richardson argues, McWilliams was also one of the nation's most versatile and productive public intellectuals of his time.
Richardson's absorbing and elegant biography traces McWilliams's extraordinary life and career. Drawing from a wide range of sources, it explores his childhood on a Colorado cattle ranch, his early literary journalism in Los Angeles, his remarkable legal and political activism, his stint in state government, the explosion of first-rate books between 1939 and 1950, and his editorial leadership at The Nation. Along the way, it also documents McWilliams's influence on a wide range of key figures, including Cesar Chavez, Hunter S. Thompson, Mike Davis, screenwriter Robert Towne, playwright Luis Valdez, and historian Patricia Limerick.

This collection of scores is based on The Resounding Project'sfirst album, Music of the High Medieval Era Performed on Period Instruments. The Resounding Project researches and reconstructs early musical instruments and uses them to recreate authentic early music. The work uses the period instruments of the 11th-13th Centuries to perform fifteen songs from that time. Scores in this book are illustrated with sketches of these unique instruments. The songs sample five regions of Medieval Europe and include pieces by Alfonso X, Aquinas, Codax, Machaut, and others.
These tunes were chosen as examples of medieval music in general. Although we do not know every detail about the music of this period, the songs represent an aggregation of the most reliable sources available. Accompaniments and chord symbols have been created for most tunes, with consideration of the likely instrumentation and styles of the time. The songs are well-suited for solos or ensembles in a variety of instrumentations.
