Book excerpt: Explores the ways American Jews have reshaped Hanukkah traditions across the country In New Orleans, Hanukkah means decorating your door with a menorah made of hominy grits. Latkes in Texas are seasoned with cilantro and cayenne pepper. Children in Cincinnati sing Hanukkah songs and eat oranges and ice cream. While each tradition springs from its own unique set of cultural references, what ties them together is that they all celebrate a holiday that is different in America than it is any place else. For the past two hundred years, American Jews have been transforming the ancient holiday of Hanukkah from a simple occasion into something grand. Each year, as they retell its story and enact its customs, they bring their ever-changing perspectives and desires to its celebration. Providing an attractive alternative to the Christian dominated December, rabbis and lay people alike have addressed contemporary hopes by fashioning an authentically Jewish festival that blossomed in their American world. The ways in which Hanukkah was reshaped by American Jews reveals the changing goals and values that emerged among different contingents each December as they confronted the reality of living as a religious minority in the United States. Bringing together clergy and laity, artists and businessmen, teachers, parents, and children, Hanukkah has been a dynamic force for both stability and change in American Jewish life. The holiday’s distinctive transformation from a minor festival to a major occasion that looms large in the American Jewish psyche is a marker of American Jewish life. Drawing on a varied archive of songs, plays, liturgy, sermons, and a range of illustrative material, as well as developing portraits of various communities, congregations, and rabbis, Hanukkah in America reveals how an almost forgotten festival became the most visible of American Jewish holidays.

Book excerpt: "Frederick Ashton, founder choreographer of The Royal Ballet, was one of the 20th century's most influential choreographers, whose musical, subtle and graceful style and extraordinary gift for storytelling had a profound impact on the development of British ballet. This special programme, performed at the Royal Opera House to mark the 25th anniversary of Ashton's death, presents five works that demonstrate his astonishing versatility, from compelling abstract ballets - such as the exuberant Voices of spring and the radically modernist Monotones - to the tragic love story Marguerite and Armand, brought to life... by Tamara Rojo and Sergei Polunin." -- Container. | Recorded live at the Royal Opera House, February 2013 | Bonus features: Introduction to Frederick Ashton; Introductions to the ballets; The Ashton Foundation | Choreography by Frederick Ashton; Orchestra of the Royal Opera House; Conductor Emmanuel Plasson; Concert master Vasko Vassilev. | All regions; Blu-ray.

Book excerpt: Details of every UK release on the Purple Records label from 1971 to 1978 with full colour, high quality photography throughout of labels, sleeves and inserts along with detailed analysis and identification of the crucial 1st pressing details of every album and single. Essential reading for collectors of Purple Records. Following in the footsteps of Frank Zappa, The Beatles and The Rolling Stones, Deep Purple's entrepreneurial management team founded the band's own 'vanity' record label in 1971. The brainchild of Tony Edwards and John Coletta, and, along with additional Purple companies, served to control virtually every business and financial aspect of Deep Purple's musical output, including management, promotion, publishing and of course recording. The label signed a diverse range of additional artists with an eclectic mix of styles, some of which would seem to be incongruous with Deep Purple's own 'hard rock' genre. The most comprehensively detailed book on the Purple Records label.

Book excerpt: A mythical kingdom Legend has it that only those chosen by destiny can gain entry into Shambhala, the mythical kingdom believed to hold the ancient wisdom that humanity will need to resurrect itself from the inevitable apocalypse. They are the Avatari. An ancient artefact When Henry Ashton, a retired British Army officer settled in the Yorkshire dales, receives a letter from a monk entreating him to prevent a `hidden treasure? stolen from a Laotian monastery from being misused, he finds himself honour-bound to respond. Assisted by a retired Gurkha Sergeant, a high-strung mathematician from Oxford with a Shambhala fixation of her own, and an American mercenary on the CIA?s hit list, Ashton?s mission leads to an ancient map that dates back to the time of the great Mongol, Kublai Khan. A secret that must not be revealed The group follows the trail, risking the perils of the inhospitable deserts of Ladakh, turmoil in Pakistan and the rugged mountains of Northern Afghanistan, where the Afghan War is at its height. But they are up against a deadly adversary with seemingly unlimited resources, who will stop at nothing to get possession of the ancient secret ? a secret that, if revealed, could threaten the very fabric of human civilization?'

When his coming-of-age journey leads him to receive his first guitar, it is not long before he is entertaining not just his parents, but also those he loves. Garland naturally feels the music, and it feels him. As he matures, a new dawn of music arrives with the sixties. Prompted by his mother, Garland begins taking guitar lessons from a musician who also becomes a father figure to him while his own is away serving his country. As his journey leads him to marriage, fatherhood, and eventually to having the biggest selling record of all time, Garland and his band are nominated for several Grammys, just as everything crashes down around him. But it is not until he is confined to a jail cell that a shocking secret is revealed that will lead Garland in an unexpected direction, both professionally and personally. Touch is the story of a budding musician’s journey to success as he develops from a boy into a man determined to overcome all his obstacles while positively impacting the world with his music.

Book excerpt: In our years together, I’ve heard all the rumors, faced all the dark secrets, and survived the danger that comes hand-in-hand with loving a powerful magnate like Damien Stark. Now we’re ready to celebrate our legacy and turn our eyes toward the future by renewing our wedding vows. I didn’t expect anyone to object… Especially not the son my husband never knew existed. But he’s here, he’s real, and he’s absolutely livid. Our vows of love and fidelity are forgotten as this wayward heir instead promises to destroy everything we hold dear, everything that should have belonged to him instead of my children. Our world falls to chaos, Damien is wrecked, and I don’t know where to turn. What might this unexpected blast from the past mean for our family’s future?
