For a Modest Fee , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 395min

Trained as a nurse and midwife, Elizabeth Evans never wanted to help set up the fledgling town of Aspen Coulee, Alberta, but travels there with her father when he agrees to become the town doctor. Housekeeper at the Evans house, Ann Montgomery hoped to keep all her San Francisco secrets locked in her ancient wedding chest. It is 1907, and the Canadian Pacific Railway is driving the engine of the west. Against the fluid backdrop of the Canadian prairies, For a Modest Fee is a story about the women of the era and the expectations that made them the primary caretakers of not only their own families, but of the entire town. A hundred years ago, choices for women were few; married or single, they all stepped into the roles thrust upon them. For a Modest Fee is a fascinating audiobook that looks at the evolution, in a few short years, of a prairie town from windblown wilderness to a fitting place for flowerboxes and school recitals. ungekürzt.

The Mountain Meadows Massacre , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 418min

In the Fall of 1857, some 120 California-bound emigrants were killed in lonely Mountain Meadows in southern Utah; only 18 young children were spared. The men on the ground after the bloody deed took an oath that they would never mention the event again, either in public or in private. The leaders of the Mormon church also counseled silence. The first report, soon after the massacre, described it as an Indian onslaught at which a few white men were present, only one of whom, John D. Lee, was actually named. With admirable scholarship, Mrs. Brooks has traced the background of conflict, analyzed the emotional climate at the time, pointed up the social and military organization in Utah, and revealed the forces which culminated in the great tragedy at Mountain Meadows. The result is a near-classic treatment which neither smears nor clears the participants as individuals. It portrays an atmosphere of war hysteria, whipped up by recitals of past persecutions and the vision of an approaching "army" coming to drive the Mormons from their homes. ungekürzt.

The Composer's Landscape: The Pianist as Explorer: Interpreting the Scores of Eight Masters , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 860min

Derived from a popular series of lecture-recitals presented by Carol Montparker over the past several years, The Composer's Landscape features eight insightful essays on the piano repertoire. Each chapter focuses on a single composer: Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert, Schumann, Brahms, Chopin, and Mendelssohn. Montparker uses landscape as a metaphor for the score, whether it's a well-tended garden of Mozart or the thorny thickets on a Schumann page: the topographical peaks and valleys, the circuitous melodic lines, the thoroughfares where all the voices convene, and so on. The discussions include thoughtful suggestions for navigating these landscapes, which differ so greatly from one composer to the next, taking note of the essential technical and interpretive elements as well as the challenges for the explorer pianist. As an actively performing pianist, lecturer, teacher, music journalist, and author of six other books on music, Montparker has the experience and understanding to guide listeners through these issues while elucidating the finer points. Woven into her text are excerpts from her interviews with world-renowned pianists, from Alfred Brendel to André Watts, conducted during her many years as senior editor of Clavier magazine. ungekürzt.

Mozart in the Jungle: Sex, Drugs, and Classical Music , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 742min

In the tradition of Anthony Bourdain's Kitchen Confidential and Gelsey Kirkland's Dancing on My Grave, Mozart in the Jungle delves into the lives of the musicians and conductors who inhabit the insular world of classical music. In a book that inspired the Amazon original series starring Gael Garcia Bernal and Malcolm McDowell, oboist Blair Tindall recounts her decades-long professional career as a classical musician, from the recitals and Broadway orchestra performances to the secret life of musicians who survive hand to mouth in the backbiting New York classical music scene, trading sexual favors for plum jobs and assignments in orchestras across the city. Tindall and her fellow journeymen musicians often play drunk, high, or hopelessly hungover, live in decrepit apartments, and perform in hazardous conditions. These are working-class musicians who schlep across the city between low-paying gigs, without health-care benefits or retirement plans - a stark contrast to the rarefied experiences of overpaid classical musician superstars. An incisive, no-holds-barred account, Mozart in the Jungle is the first true, behind-the-scenes look at what goes on backstage and in the Broadway pit. ungekürzt. Language: English.

A profound and singular story about a young woman searching for her place in the world, from one of America's most original voices. Bran's Southern California upbringing is anything but traditional.

Children's Upbringing In Today's Modern Society (Parenting Now In Crisis) (eBook, ePUB)

Writing has marked Fr. Greg Udo Njoku, CSSp's life from his infant classes. He always thrilled his schoolmates in the morning assembly with recitals of little sonnets, dirges, poems, and epic rhymes.For his secondary school, he attended the renowned Kings College in Lagos, Nigeria, a model school founded by British colonizers in 1909 and named after King's College in Oxford, London, comparable to Harvard University in America (see book 12).Father Greg's habit for writing is, for him, a therapeutic as well as a spiritual exercise. Writing or reading from his books solaces him greatly and feeds his whole being with joy, strength, peace, hope, and calmness that he is unable to grasp. In reading his writings, he becomes energized and recharged.Gifted with a powerful, creative imagination, much of Father Greg's writings go with divine inspirations. His book series serves as a panacea for diverse forms of addictions, ill dispositions that could land their victims in rehabs, juvenile justice courts, counseling centers, depression, violent behaviors, jail terms, suicide, and murder. As a hardy Catholic missionary priest for the past thirty-nine years, his writings have been strong references in his pastoral and educational tasks.Father Greg thanks God for the use he has made of his books wherever he has worked.
