Book Description
Bubbe & Zaide stars the grandparents of the Matzah Ball Books gang during a visit of their grandkids to their house. That day, true to their namesakes, Noshy Boy eats everything he gets his hands on, Shmutzy Girl makes a messy art project, Klutzy Boy clumsily breaks a window and Shluffy Girl sleeps any where and every where. But Bubbe and Zaide only see the good in their grandkids. Even Kvetchy Boy's complaints are seen as "observant," because "when you love someone, you look for the good." A true testament to unconditional grandparent love. For ages 0-7 years old. And grandparents, of course. :)

Book Description
Except for Soviet citizens, no people in this century have endured so much mass killing as have the Chinese. They have been murdered by rebels conniving with their own rulers, and then, after the defeat in war of the imperial dynasty, by soldiers of other lands. They have been killed by warlords who ruled one part of China or another. They have been executed by Nationalists or Communists because they had the wrong beliefs or attitudes or were simply in the wrong place at the wrong time. In China's Bloody Century, R.J. Rummel's careful estimate of the total number of killings exceeds 5 million. How do we explain such killings, crossing ideological bounds and political conditions? According to Rummel, the one constant factor in all the Chinese mass murder, as it was in the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany, is arbitrary power. It was the factor that united warlords, Nationalists, Communists, and foreign armies. The author argues that whenever such undisciplined power is centralized and unchecked, the possibility exists that it will be used at the whim of dictators to kill for their own ends, whether the aim is ethnic-racial purity, national unity, development, or utopia. The book presents successive periods in modern Chinese history, with each chapter divided into three parts. Rummel first relates the history of the period within which the nature and the amount of killings are presented. He then provides a detailed statistical table giving the basic estimates with their sources and qualifications. The final part offers an appendix that explains and elaborates the statistical computations and estimates. While estimates are available in the literature on the number of Chinese killed in Communist land reform, or in Tibet, or by the Nationalists in one military campaign or another, until this book no one has tried to systematically accumulate, organize, add up, and analyze these diverse killings for all of China's governments in this century.

Book Description
When Zaide Reb Yisroel davened, as a little girl sometimes I sat quietly watching, and it seemed to me as though the melodies he hummed ever so softly traced an arc in the air that reached all the way to Heaven; and there it pushed open the mysterious gates that were the entrance to G-d's domain.Through the open Heavenly gates G-d's spirit descended and lit up the room.And when, in the midst of davening, Zaide sometimes cried out, the portals of Heaven cried with him.

Book Description
Idra is noble by birth, lady-in-waiting to the future High Queen of the Twelve Realms, and ordinary in every other way. Since birth, her life has been pledged in service to the crown.

Because of his revenge, Idra is torn from the only life she knows and faced with a future no one should ever have to endure. All she has left is a little faith and a sliver of hope, but is it enough?

Book Description
This book addresses the ways in which masculinity is negotiated, constructed, represented, and problematized within operatic music and practice. Although the consideration of masculine ontology and epistemology has pervaded cultural and sociological studies since the late 1980s, and masculinity has been the focus of recent if sporadic musicological discussion, the relationship between masculinity and opera has so far escaped detailed critical scrutiny. Operating from a position of sympathy with feminist and queer approaches and the phallocentric tendencies they identify, this study offers a unique perspective on the cultural relativism of opera by focusing on the male operatic subject. Anchored by musical analysis or close readings of musical discourse, the contributions take an interdisciplinary approach by also engaging with theatre, popular music, and cultural musicology scholarship. The various musical, theoretical, and socio-political trajectories of the essays are historically dispersed from seventeenth to twentieth- first-century operatic works and practices, visiting masculinity and the operatic voice, the complication or refusal of essentialist notions of masculinity, and the operatic representation of the ‘crisis’ of masculinity. This volume will not only enliven the study of masculinity in opera, but be an appealing contribution to music scholars interested in gender, history, and new musicology.
