The Educated Child : A Parents Guide From Preschool Through Eighth Grade

28 reviews
William J. Bennett, Chester E. Jr. Finn, ...

Free Press, 1999

Excellent, well-balanced resource for parent involvement
The authors make the case for parent involvement by providing a clear picture of America's public school system. Without providing a blanket criticism of all schools and teachers, parents are reminded that only they can make sure their children receive the education they need to become successful citizens. By listing curriculum objectives by grade level they empower parents to ask questions ...

Falsettos (Drama, Plume)

3 reviews
William Finn, James Lapine

Plume, 1993

You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll love it.
This book is the libretto for the musical "Falsettos" which is sung entirely, so unless you have the music, the book is incomplete. But for "Falsettos" lovers this is a must have. The music is a bit confusing with a lot of subtext. The book allows you to analyze each character to find the deeper meaning (and believe me, there is a lot of underlined meaning). The best part of the book is that ...

7 reviews
William Finn

Ruder Finn Press, Inc., 2005

A funny Israel book about politics and religion!? Of course!
Much like his namesake in the musical theater world, William L. Finn tackles meaty subjects and deep questions with a sense of humor, integrity, and honesty. He offers a view of the Israel situation that mixes the insider and the the outsider. His approach to sensitive issues shows that he has grappled with the comlexities involved, without shying away from taking a stand, or stating an opinion. ...

A Legacy of Excellence: The Story of Villa I Tatti

William Weaver

HNA Books, 1997

A DREAM COME TRUE
After a decade together their ardor had cooled. It was then, in 1900, that Bernhard Berenson (he later dropped the "h" in his first name) and Mary Costelloe married, placing imprimatur on a symbiotic partnering that lasted until her death in 1945. The civil ceremony in Florence's Palazzo Vecchio united an unusual pair. He was a polylingual bon vivant; she spoke grade school Italian, which ...

The art of the choral conductor

Summy-Birchard Pub. Co, 1960

A master choral conductor's inside tips
I came across this book a few years ago, and when I read it the first time, it seemed like Finn's reccomendations were way too idealistic. His concept of how a boys choir ought to be run was amazingly outdated, the kids he was talking about are out of old black and white movies and victorian novels. But coming back to it last year, I was amazed at how clear his ideas were. Only a few pages of ...

The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee (Piano/Vocal/Chords)

5 reviews
William Finn

Alfred Publishing, 2006

Your Word Is Stupendous.
Although the information above is wrong, (the book is 102 pages) this book is worth far more than the $21.95, they're asking for. True to form, William Finn keeps putting out comprehensive songbooks with exciting arrangements of his music dramas. The lyrics in 25th Annual are a bit more rational than his exercises in stream-of-consciousness poeticism like Falsettos or A New Brain, but Finn ...

A New Brain: Vocal Selections

1 review
William Finn

Alfred Publishing Company, 1999

Accurate keyboard reductions
This book provides accurate keyboard reductions for many of the major songs in the show. The melodic line does not appear in the piano part in favor of a more accurate representation of orchestral lines (HOORAY!). Warner Brothers Music has been very faithful to the original score, and has included all the vocal lines for the big numbers. So, if you like the show and want the sheet music (and ...

Elegies A Song Cycle

1 review
William Finn

Alfred Publishing, 2006

Awesome
An incredible collection spanning a wide variety of musical styles and emotions, all based around love and loss. The songs range from hysterically funny (Passover, My Dogs) to incredibly intimate and heartfelt (Anytime, Saying My Goodbyes). The piano reductions in the book have been rhythmically simplified from what is played on the soundtrack, but the chords are very specific and what is there ...

Delivering Carrier Ethernet: Extending Ethernet Beyond the LAN

2 reviews
Abdul Kasim, Prasanna Adhikari, ...

McGraw-Hill Osborne Media, 2007

Anthony
Delivering Carrier Ethernet is an excellent text on the subject. It is well structured, reviewing Ethernet fundamentals, and providing a templeted view of all the EoEverything technologies, without resorting to detailed protocol analysis. It has a good context of the evolution, and technologies. I've been in the carrier provider business for over 20 years, and this is a good as it gets. Multiple ...

Edvard Grieg: The Man and the Artist

1 review
Finn Benestad, Dag Schjulderup-ebbe

University of Nebraska Press, 1988

The Grieg bible
Got hold of a copy of the book at the Edvard Grieg Museum in Norway. The book gives a full introduction to Grieg's life in a chronological as well as a thematical order. It is possible to read for nonmusicians, but with some knowledge of music, the book is simply excellent. The list of works, both with opusnumber and those without, is valuable to everybody who wants to have an overlook of his ...

Computational Ocean Acoustics

2 reviews, ...

American Institute of Physics, 2000

Comprehensive Review
This book is an excellent comprehensive review of the topics necessary to study ocean acoustics. It moves through the physics of wave propagation, carefully explaining the methods and the use of logarithmic measures. The numerical approaches are well organized and theoretically explained before demonstrating examples and giving "recipes" for simple codes. Everything you need is in this book, ...

This new companion book to Brenner and Rector's The Kidney provides the reader with the complete information necessary to understand, diagnose, and treat this serious and challenging condition. The first part of the book describes recent progress in the understanding of the pathophysiology of ARF, explaining the tremendous strides in the molecular ...

Apricots to Zucchini (A Fresh Approach)

Parish Day School, Dallas, Texas, 1992

Judy Nordseth Photography
Since this is the only place I found to write a review about Judy Nordseth Photography, I apologize to the authors of this book. Judy Nordseth and an assistant were the photographers for my wedding in 2004. It is 2007 now, and I still have a pit in my stomach about the job she did (or, did NOT do). When hiring a professional photographer, and paying a nice sum of cash for her, you expect ...
