Download or read book The Extraordinary Rendition of Vincent Dellamaria written by Jack Walker and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2011-02 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Vincent Dellamaria grew up in Queens New York, the son of Sicilian immigrants. When he was tapped to be a Justice of the United States Supreme Court in 2001, he tacitly consented to be guided by the Administration's neoconservatives on major cases. Years later, Dellamaria's former college roommate, Patrick O'Connor, a law school dean, found out about Dellamaria's corrupt deal from a former CIA agent. O'Connor organized a team to kidnap Dellamaria in order to break his corrupt connections. Through a combination of psychotherapy, conversation, and soul-searching, Dellamaria grudgingly came around. A year after the snatch, the kidnappers covertly returned Dellamaria to Washington and the Supreme Court, just in time for him to participate on five major cases: abortion, torture, gay marriage, Miranda warnings, and the Pledge of Allegiance.

Book Synopsis Out of My League by : George Plimpton
Download or read book Out of My League written by George Plimpton and published by Little, Brown. This book was released on 2016-04-26 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The baseball classic that Ernest Hemingway called "beautifully observed and incredibly conceived," now repackaged and including a foreword from Jane Leavy and never-before-seen content from the Plimpton archives. The first of Plimpton's remarkable forays into participatory journalism, OUT OF MY LEAGUE chronicles with wit, charm, and grace what happens when a self-professed amateur has the chance to answer every fan's question: could he strike out a major league star? Plimpton's inspired idea--to get on the mound and pitch a few innings to the All-Stars of the American and National Leagues--begins as a fun-filled stunt and comes to a deeply hellish, nearly humiliating end. This honest and hilarious tale features Mickey Mantle, Willie Mays, Whitey Ford, Ralph Houk, and other baseball greats and is "a baseball book such as no one else ever wrote, and one of the best ever." --New York Herald Tribune

Download or read book A History of Baroque Music written by George J. Buelow and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2004-11-23 with total page 732 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A History of Baroque Music is a detailed treatment of the music of the Baroque era, with particular focus on the seventeenth century. The author's approach is a history of musical style with an emphasis on musical scores. The book is divided initially by time period into early and later Baroque (1600-1700 and 1700-1750 respectively), and secondarily by country and composer. An introductory chapter discusses stylistic continuity with the late Renaissance and examines the etymology of the term "Baroque." The concluding chapter on the composer Telemann addresses the stylistic shift that led to the end of the Baroque and the transition into the Classical period."--Jacket.

Book Synopsis Rendition to Torture by : Alan W Clarke
Download or read book Rendition to Torture written by Alan W Clarke and published by Rutgers University Press. This book was released on 2012-04-26 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Universally condemned and everywhere illegal, torture goes on in democracies as well as in dictatorships. Nonetheless, many Americans were surprised following the attacks of 9/11 at how easily the United States embraced torture as well as the supposedly lesser evil of cruel, inhuman, and degrading treatment. Nothing seemed extreme when it came to questioning real and imagined terrorists. Extraordinary rendition—sending people captured in the “war on terror” to nations long counted among the world’s worst human rights violators—hid from the public eye cruel and bloody interrogations. “Torture lite” or “torture without marks” became the norm for those in American custody. In Rendition to Torture, Alan W. Clarke explains how the United States adopted torture as a matter of official policy; how and why it turned to extraordinary rendition as a way to outsource more extreme, mutilating forms of torture; and outlines the steps the United States took to hide its abuses. Many adverse consequences attended American use of torture. False information gleaned from torture was used to justify the Iraq war, adding potency to the charge that the war was illegal under international law. Moreover, European nations and Canada aided, abetted, and became thoroughly enmeshed in U.S.-led torture and renditions, thereby spreading both the problem and the blame for this practice. Clarke offers an extended critique of these activities, placing them in historical and legal context as well as in transnational and comparative perspective.

Book Synopsis North Italian Church Music in the Age of Monteverdi by : Jerome Roche
Download or read book North Italian Church Music in the Age of Monteverdi written by Jerome Roche and published by Oxford : Clarendon Press. This book was released on 1984 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents an overview of sacred music published by Venetian printing houses in the first half of the seventeenth century. In contrast with many assessments of the period, which focus on the works of Claudio Monteverdi and Giovanni Gabrieli, the book highlights particularly the contributions of composers who are less familiar to modern audiences, such as Ignazio Donati, Alessandro Grandi and Giovanni Rovetta. Many of the pieces the author discusses were not available in modern editions at the time the book was published, meaning the inclusion of a larger quantity of illustrative examples than other similar works. The first section of the book provides a historical and social context for the later chapters. The author gives an overview of the church's attitude towards changes in musical styles around the turn of the seventeenth century, discusses the musical institutions connected with sacred music, and explores the use of liturgy in motets. The subsequent four chapters discuss specific works composed between 1605 and 1643, with each chapter focused on works for a different number of voices. Chapter V discusses pieces for one to three voices, Chapter VI those for four to six voices, and Chapter VII and VIII those for seven or more voices. The book concludes with a short survey of developments during the rest of the seventeenth century.
Download or read book Monteverdi written by Denis Stevens and published by . This book was released on 1978 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Monteverdi was born at Cremona in 1567 and died in Venice in 1643. The innovative nature of much of his music has generated considerable artistic and literary comment from the year 1600 onward. In this critical study, the author provides a practically oriented and concise book for both the musician and the researcher. He has avoided the tyranny of a chronological ordering of the compositions by considering them in the broad categories of sacred, secular, and occasional music, and has included fifty musical examples by way of illustration. The first category, dealing with secular vocal music, begins with the pieces written for Guarini's Il pastor fido. There is a special discussion of dialogues, followed by a survey of madrigals with and without continuo. Then come the canzonette, trios, duets, and solos. The section on religious music discusses settings of the Mass and Vespers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The brutal secret war to win Kosovo’s freedom from Serbia is in full swing when The Rendition takes readers behind the headlines for an inside look at the United States’ involvement. Alex Klear, a veteran intelligence officer, is sent to the Balkans on a hastily planned rendition which goes terribly bad. Alex decides it’s time to retire. However, when he is persuaded to go to Germany as part of an operation connected to the rendition, he finds himself caught between two dynamic women—an old girlfriend and the female colonel running the op. While there, he becomes a target of the Kosovo Liberation Army, a murder suspect to the German police, and for his superiors, the perfect fall guy to take the heat for a badly botched secret operation. With Kosovo’s independence declaration coming closer by the day, the secret war heats up and Alex comes to realize that he is at the center of a murky conspiracy aimed at making the United States an international pariah.

Download or read book Practical Method of Italian Singing written by Nicola Vaccai and published by Ravenio Books. This book was released on 1975 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Anyone who wishes to sing really well should begin by learning how to sing in Italian, not only because the Italian school of vocalisation is acknowledged to be superior to all others, but also on account of the language itself, where the pure and sonorous tone of its many vowel sounds will assist the singer in acquiring a fine voice-production and a clear and distinct enunciation in any language he may have to sing, no matter what may be his nationality.
