The Civil War Guerrilla: Unfolding the Black Flag in History, Memory, and Myth: New Directions in Southern History , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 528min
Often referred to as "the wars within the war", guerrilla combat touched states from Virginia to New Mexico. Guerrillas fought for the Union, the Confederacy, their ethnic groups, their tribes, and their families. They were deadly forces that plundered, tortured, and terrorized those in their path, and their impact is not yet fully understood. In this richly diverse volume, Joseph M. Beilein Jr., and Matthew C. Hulbert assemble a team of both rising and eminent scholars to examine guerrilla warfare in the South during the Civil War. Together, they discuss irregular combat as practiced by various communities in multiple contexts, including how it was used by Native Americans, the factors that motivated raiders in the border states, and the women who participated as messengers, informants, collaborators, and combatants. They also explore how the Civil War guerrilla has been mythologized in history, literature, and folklore. The Civil War Guerrilla sheds new light on the ways in which thousands of men, women, and children experienced and remembered the Civil War as a conflict of irregular wills and tactics. This timely audiobook provides listeners with a comprehensive examination of the guerrilla soldier and his role in the deadliest war in U.S. history. The book is published by The University Press of Kentucky. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Maxwell Zener. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/042593/bk_acx0_042593_sample.mp3.

Off the Charts: The Hidden Lives and Lessons of American Child Prodigies , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 724min
From the author of the widely praised Raising America - a compelling exploration of child genius told through the gripping stories of 15 exceptionally gifted boys and girls, from a math wonder a century ago to young jazz and classical piano virtuosos today. A thought-provoking book for a time when parents anxiously aspire to raise "super children" and experts worry the nation is wasting the brilliant young minds it needs. Ann Hulbert examines the lives of children whose rare accomplishments have raised hopes about untapped human potential and questions about how best to nurture it. She probes the changing role of parents and teachers as well as of psychologists and a curious press. Above all, she delves into the feelings of the prodigies themselves, who push back against adults more as the decades proceed. Among the children are the math genius Norbert Wiener, founder of cybernetics, a Harvard graduate student at age 15; two girls, a poet and a novelist, whose published work stirred debate in the 1920s; the movie superstar Shirley Temple and the African American pianist and composer Philippa Schuyler; the chess champion Bobby Fischer; computer pioneers and autistic "prodigious savants"; and musical prodigies, present and past. Off the Charts also tells the surprising inside stories of Lewis Terman's prewar study of high-IQ children and of the postwar talent search begun at Johns Hopkins and discovers what Tiger Mom Amy Chua really has to tell us. But in these moving stories, it is the children who deliver the most important messages. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Kirsten Potter.

Glazunov: Complete Works for Piano
Duane Hulbert: I was introduced to the music of Glazunov was as I was preparing for the 1982 Tchaikovsky International Piano Competition. One of the second round program choices was Glazunov's Bb Minor Sonata which I had never heard before. The piece was out of print, but I found it at the Lincoln Center Library in New York. It was large-scale and romantic (which fit my style) and was relatively unknown, always good in a competition. After the competition, I started programming the sonata in recitals including my 1991 New York recital in Merkin Recital Hall. I then decided to explore Glazunov's other piano works. The results are here, five hours (four CDs) of Glazunov's piano music. Duane Hulbert has appeared as a soloist with major orchestras, including the Minnesota Orchestra, Dallas Symphony Orchestra, Tacoma Symphony Orchestra, Northwest Sinfonietta, and Seattle Symphony. He performed as a recitalist at Merkin Concert Hall in New York, Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C., and at Benaroya Hall in Seattle. He also has been a guest at the Eastman School of Music Summer Piano Festival and the Music Studies Abroad Festival in France. In 1980 Hulbert, a native of Minnesota, captured the grand prize in the prestigious Gina Bachauer International Piano Competition in Salt Lake City. Numerous other awards followed, including a prize in the 1985 Carnegie Hall International American Music Competition. Hulbert's first CD of piano works by Alexander Glazunov was nominated for a Grammy Award in 2002. Hulbert received his bachelor's and master's degrees from The Juilliard School and his doctorate from Manhattan School of Music. He is a distinguished professor of music at University of Puget Sound.- Shop: odax
