Elliott Carter Studies
Author: Marguerite Boland
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1139535951
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 365
Book Description
Over the course of an astonishingly long career, Elliott Carter has engaged with many musical developments of the twentieth and now twenty-first centuries - from his early neo-classic music of the interwar period, to his modernist works of conflict and opposition in the 1960s and 1970s, to the reshaping of a modernist aesthetic in his latest compositions. Elliott Carter Studies throws new light on these many facets of Carter's extensive musical oeuvre. This collection of essays presents historic, philosophic, philological and theoretical points of departure for in-depth investigations of individual compositions, stylistic periods in Carter's output and his contributions to a variety of genres, including vocal music, the string quartet and the concerto. The first multi-authored book to appear on Carter's music, it brings together research from a distinguished team of leading international Carter scholars, providing the reader with a wide range of perspectives on an extraordinary musical life.

Carter Reads the Newspaper
Author: Deborah Hopkinson
Publisher: Holiday House
ISBN: 1682633071
Category : Juvenile Nonfiction
Languages : en
Pages : 36
Book Description
"Carter G. Woodson didn't just read history. He changed it." As the father of Black History Month, he spent his life introducing others to the history of his people. Carter G. Woodson was born to two formerly enslaved people ten years after the end of the Civil War. Though his father could not read, he believed in being an informed citizen, so he asked Carter to read the newspaper to him every day. As a teenager, Carter went to work in the coal mines, and there he met Oliver Jones, who did something important: he asked Carter not only to read to him and the other miners, but also research and find more information on the subjects that interested them. "My interest in penetrating the past of my people was deepened," Carter wrote. His journey would take him many more years, traveling around the world and transforming the way people thought about history. From an award-winning team of author Deborah Hopkinson and illustrator Don Tate, this first-ever picture book biography of Carter G. Woodson emphasizes the importance of pursuing curiosity and encouraging a hunger for knowledge of stories and histories that have not been told. Back matter includes author and illustrator notes and brief biological sketches of important figures from African and African American history.

Vellum
Author: Hal Duncan
Publisher: Pan Macmillan
ISBN: 0330541161
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 516
Book Description
It's 2017 and the End Days are coming, beings that were once human gathering to fight in one last great war for control of the Vellum - the vast realm of eternity on which our world is just a scratch. But to a draft-dodging Irish angel and a trailer-trash tomboy called Phreedom, it's about to become brutally clear that there's no great divine or diabolic plan at play here, just a vicious battle between the hawks of Heaven and Hell, with humanity stuck in the middle, and where the easy rhetoric of Good and Evil, Order versus Chaos just doesn't apply. Here there are no heroes, no darlings of destiny struggling to save the day, and there are no villains, no dark lords of evil out to destroy the world. Or at least if there are, it's not quite clear which is which. Here, the most ancient gods and the most modern humans are equally fate's fools, victims of their own hubris, struggling to save their own skins, their own souls, but sometimes . . . just sometimes . . . sacrificing everything in the name of humanity. "Vellum is a mind-blowing read that's genuinely like nothing you've ever read before. . . The imaginary worlds that he dreams up are stunning. . . Vellum has expanded fantasy's limits like nothing published in years." SFX

Book Description
EVERYONE is left behind, the world is in its greatest hour of tribulation, the mark of the beast is here, are you ready? Jude is relatable. He’s a young American male with a college degree and career in the Coast Guard. He just wants to live his life in the typical American way: working a steady job and going to church on Sundays. God gives him quite the opposite story, however, when the power suddenly begins to go out around the world, Jude finds himself stranded at sea. After being rescued, he’s taken to a refugee camp, where he finds out that he’s not leaving until he gets a microchip. As the world around him crumbles under the wiles of the Devil, Jude finds himself re-evaluating everything he’s never been taught or told, the world is in its greatest hour of tribulation. As he trudges through the record- breaking snowfall, fights against a whole new level of technology that threatens to render the human race extinct, deciphers bizarre and strange new dreams, races to an advanced civilization and meets a diverse group of people who have their passion for Christ in common, Jude learns what it really means to be solely dependent on God and to seek first His kingdom. With evil running rampant in the form of war, famine, natural disasters, disease, suffering and deadly technology, it’s quite evident Jude and his new friends are living in the “last days” John talks about in Revelation. In fact, these may even be the “last hours”. What will happen to Jude, his friends, and the world when the clock strikes Midnight?
