Book Description
Slices of a Life consists of memoirs and meditations---odd, strange, amusing, touching, or otherwise of interest---that readers from all walks and stages of life can enjoy. Although being, to a large extent, a farrago of the author's failings, follies, frailties, foibles, and other folderol and foofaraw, the book nevertheless seeks to demonstrate that this former Midwestern attorney---with a knack for waxing poetic, philosophizing, or poking fun at himself, sometimes in a single breath---is a worthy and meritorious person. Capturing the essence of life---the highs and the lows, the ups and the downs, triumph and defeat, the good, the bad, and the ugly, etc.---in the Midwest (specifically Chicago and its suburbs) over a long period of time, the book expounds on such universal topics as family, youth, friendship, fatherhood, pets, sports, travel, and more.

Book Description
Ocellus & Chitkin© are the stories about two ants who are trying to escape from a cacao plantation where they are slaves. The stories mirror real children, today. The ants' daring and unexpected attempts to get home and find freedom are exciting and suspenceful for children and readers. The stark reality that most chocolate is produced using child-slavery is softened for listeners between six and 10 years old; older readers will hear the message that Ocellus and Chitkin are telling. Humour and gripping tales from Grama Feebly help to explain the life of ants, and the story of chocolate and cacao, the most important ingredient in chocolate. Each story is brief, part of the developing tale.

Book Description
Barcelonian Gaspar Cassadó (1897-1966) was one of the greatest cello virtuosi of the twentieth century and a notable composer and arranger, leaving a vast and heterogeneous legacy. In this book, Gabrielle Kaufman provides the first full-length scholarly work dedicated to Cassadó, containing the results of seven years of research into his life and legacy, after following the cellist’s steps through Spain, France, Italy and Japan. The study presents in-depth descriptions of the three main parts of Cassadó’s creative output: composition, transcription and performance, especially focusing on Cassadó’s plural and multi-facetted creativity, which is examined from both cultural and historical perspectives. Cassadó’s role within the evolution of twentieth-century cello performance is thoroughly examined, including a discussion regarding the musical and technical aspects of performing Cassadó’s works, aimed directly at performers. The study presents the first attempt at a comprehensive catalogue of Cassadó’s works, both original and transcribed, as well as his recordings, using a number of new archival sources and testimonies. In addition, the composer’s significance within Spanish twentieth-century music is treated in detail through a number of case studies, sustained by examples from recovered score manuscripts. Illuminated by extraordinary source material Gaspar Cassadó: Cellist, Composer and Transcriber expands and deepens our knowledge of this complex figure, and will be of crucial importance to students and scholars in the fields of Performance Practice and Spanish Music, as well as to professional cellists and advanced cello students.

Book Description
In a place that’s ‘to die for’, no one expects to die for real. So muses undercover detective Bradford Fairfax after an anonymous caller tells him that his ex-boyfriend, party boy Ross Pretty, has died from an accidental overdose of ecstasy in “the gayest place on earth”: Provincetown, Massachusetts. Brad becomes convinced that Ross’s death is no accident, and his intention to bury his former lover suddenly turns into a full-scale investigation. Brad quickly pins the murder on Ross’s ex-employer, the malevolent Hayden Rosengarten, owner of a high-end sex resort catering to a rich and famous clientele for whom discretion is everything. But when Rosengarten also turns up dead, the list of suspects suddenly grows: could it be Cinder Lindquist, the flamboyant female-impersonator? Or Johnny K., one of Rosengarten’s merciless henchmen? What about Big Ruby, the lesbian café owner with a big heart, but an even bigger gun? And why does everyone in P-Town seem to be a Buddhist? On top of it all, Brad finds himself falling in love with Zach, a blue-haired twink from his past. Within this colourful cast of characters, it seems everyone has a secret to hide. Jeffrey Round has created a deliciously camp, sexy thriller with an unforgettable new breed of hero — one who always gets his man.

PROMENADE. The Medicine Show comes to town and with it, Hurricane, a man who weaves a tale painted in the carnival colors of a generation ago. In this book of poem & song Hurricane takes the reader on a hurdy gurdy trip of disturbing and tender whimsythrough visions of experience which once reflected off the waters of the zany California coast. His mnemonic verse rubs down to a raw, surreal starkness of emotions as our own sentiments follow his through this mystery of Beat & Hip. The journey's reward: a souvenir of time and place; a space of mind.
