Schubert: New Piano Transcriptions of Famous Masterworks

Great Schubert resource - beware the "paperback" though
Anyone who spends 5 minutes with this book can see that it is indispenseable. Every song is here, arranged alphabetically. Before borrowing the book from a library, I had the groundless fear that, while listening to, say, Winterreise, I would have to flip back and forth between the dispersed songs (and wear out the pause button on my player). But of course, the songs in each cycle are together, ...

Varieties of Muslim Experience: Encounters with Arab Political and Cultural Life
Lawrence Rosen
University Of Chicago Press
, 2008
With tensions between the West and the Islamic world running high—from xenophobic rhetoric about immigrants in Europe to President Bush’s call for a “crusade” against terrorism—it is more important than ever that we understand the role of religion and political culture in everyday Muslim society. In Varieties of Muslim Experience , anthropologist Lawrence Rosen explores aspects of Arab Muslim life that are, at ...
Bargaining for Reality: The Construction of Social Relations in a Muslim Community
Lawrence Rosen
University Of Chicago Press
, 1984
Much modern anthropology has assumed that an adequate description of any society consists of rules that inform its members' relationships and the logic that unites their cultural symbols. In this book Lawrence Rosen argues that, for the people who live in and around the Moroccan city of Sefrou, attachment to others and the terms by which they are conceived are, at their most fundamental level, subject to a constant process of negotiation. ...

Greatly arranged!
I am a ratime lover! I purchased cd's of Scott Joplin's work in the past and it really got me into wanting to play it. I knew that the original music by Joplin was way above my head so I bought this hoping that I could get the same richness as the originals but to be able to play at my own skill level. This book has done it very well! Buy if you are a student who has been taking for a few ...
Open Source Licensing: Software Freedom and Intellectual Property Law

, 2004
Great for reference
When I recieved this book I was excited, finally I could read a book which would help my brain really understand all the licenses! I sat down to read it, and was impressed with how the author took the popular licenses and broke them down into more easily understandable. I mean, they *are* fairly straight forward, but the author gets into what they actually mean in legal terms, and that's ...

Brilliant Analysis About Islam
Professor Ahmed provides a very accessible and informative account of Islamic history which is enlightening to the non-Muslim reader as well as the Muslim one. Especially relevant in current times, Professor Ahmed gives context to Islamic history, without which the religion and contemporary issues cannot properly and adequately be understood. Criticisms in other reviews, such as those levied by ...
Law as Culture: An Invitation
Lawrence Rosen
Princeton University Press
, 2008
Law is integral to culture, and culture to law. Often considered a distinctive domain with strange rules and stranger language, law is actually part of a culture's way of expressing its sense of the order of things. In Law as Culture , Lawrence Rosen invites readers to consider how the facts that are adduced in a legal forum connect to the ways in which facts are constructed in other areas of everyday life, how the processes of legal ...

A great anthology
This is a wonderful anthology of piano pieces by contemporary composers. They are generally appropriate for intermediate to advanced level students. Most of the pieces are minimalistic. This should be a standard work for all serious pianists.

1 review
Lawrence Rosen
Cambridge University Press
, 1989
Anthropological look at Islamic Law
Rosen brings his deep familiarity with both the fields of law and anthropology to bear in an anthropological examintion of the legal practice of kadis and their courts in Moroccan society. His documentation of the cultural logic and practice of Islamic law is fascinating and worth reading although it should be criticized that he too presumptuously seems willing to apply his insights into ...
