Book Description
Excerpt from Letters to a School-Boy These letters were written to my son, fourteen years of age, while absent at school. A father who understands the temptations and moral perils that beset the pathway of a boy of that age at school, cannot conceal his solicitude if he would. These letters were designed to put the youth upon his guard, to make him watchful against temptation, to impress his mind with the importance and value of school-days, and to inspire his soul with the noblest aims. They express just what every thoughtful and anxious parent would say to his son at school. They treat of studies, books, games, sports, companions, duties, temptations, morals, and religion. As I deemed them necessary for my son, they may prove of some advantage to other men's sons; and so they are given to the public in this form.

Hendrik Petrus Berlage
Author: Hendrik Petrus BerlagePublisher: Getty Publications
ISBN: 0892363339
Category : Architecture
Languages : en
Pages : 350
Book Description
Hendrik Petrus Berlage, the Dutch architect and architectural philosopher, created a series of buildings and a body of writings from 1886 to 1909 that were among the first efforts to probe the problems and possibilities of modernism. Although his Amsterdam Stock Exchange, with its rational mastery of materials and space, has long been celebrated for its seminal influence on the architecture of the 20th century, Berlage's writings are highlighted here. Bringing together Berlage's most important texts, among them "Thoughts on Style in Architecture", "Architecture's Place in Modern Aesthetics", and "Art and Society", this volume presents a chapter in the history of European modernism. In his introduction, Iain Boyd Whyte demonstrates that the substantial contribution of Berlage's designs to modern architecture cannot be fully appreciated without an understanding of the aesthetic principles first laid out in his writings.
Hitmaker
Author: Tommy MottolaPublisher: Grand Central Publishing
ISBN: 1455505439
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 315
Book Description
Much has been written about Tommy Mottola, one of the most powerful, visionary, and successful executives in the history of the music industry. He discovered, developed and launched the careers of many superstars, including Mariah Carey, Celine Dion, Shakira, Jennifer Lopez and Gloria Estefan, and is credited with creating the "Latin Explosion." He has had the privilege of working alongside Bruce Springsteen, Billy Joel, Bob Dylan, Beyonce, Michael Jackson, Barbara Streisand, the Dixie Chicks, Pearl Jam, Aerosmith, Tony Bennett, and Ozzy Osbourne, amongst other music giants. This is his story--a story of the modern music industry, from Elvis to the iPod--through the eyes of the man who made much of it happen. Hitmaker recounts how a kid from the Bronx--and a college dropout--became one of the music industry's most creative and controversial CEOs. For the first time, Tommy lays bare the facts behind the most sensational aspects of his life, such as being married to and developing the career of Mariah Carey, managing Michael Jackson's emotional ups and downs, and the power struggle with his onetime boss and mentor Walter Yetnikoff. Hitmaker will take you inside this world of power, money, and fame as he recounts the fascinating dealings with countless icons, and what it was like to be at the top when the business suddenly changed. Tommy's story is one that will never be duplicated--and here it is, in his own voice, for the first time.
