Monday, June 22nd, 2009Life of Rossini
Thursday, June 18th, 2009Rossini’s popularity in Italy in the early 1820s was certainly not echoed in France where he was regarded as ‘an ill-bred parvenu, whose cheap popularity was an insult to a great musical tradition’ and thus Stendhal, always an obstinate individualist, was the first of his contemporaries to recognise the genius of this important Italian composer.
Stendhal’s introduction to this book sets the musical climate in perspective with a history of the interregnum between the death of Cimarosa and the coming of Rossini.Details of Rossini’s early life are followed by penetrating discussions in the operas, libretti, personalities of the period, and on Rossini’s own character – indeed a whole chapter is devoted to his wild sense of humour.
No book of its period better captures the atmosphere of opera-going during the birth-period of Romantic music. Besides being a fascinating and penetrating account of this popular Italian composer’s most creative years and of contemporary musical events and opinions, this work is one of the finest items in the Stendhalian literary canon.Richard Coe’s eloquent translation (revised for the second edition) and careful annotations do full justice to the incandescent strength of this great French writer’s prose style.
Very good. No dust jacket. Text in English, French. 566 p. Americana Library, Al-25, 61. Audience: General/trade.

The New Fowler’s Modern English Usage
Tuesday, June 2nd, 2009This is a very informative book and you will really enjoy this book.
This new edition, edited by the Oxford lexicographer Dr Robert Burchfield, brings this historical survey of the language up-to-date. All major usage points have been reconsidered and judged in the light of the language of the 1990s, and there are new insights into modern English usage. Usage points are explained using a wide variety of examples from literature, the media and the spoken word, with emphasis on British and American-English, plus examples from South African and Australian-English where appropriate. Wherever possible, quotations are attributed to named and dated sources. There is full treatment of the great linguistic debates of the century: for example, the questioning of traditional linguistic assumptions by feminists, by opponents of racial and religious discrimination, and those lobbying for political correctness. Treatment is given of gobbledegook, split infinitives, placing prepositions at the end of clauses, and other changing patterns in the use of the language. For ease of use, there is a helpful analytical index along with pronunciation advice throughout in IPA.Written with access to OUP’s computerized language and quotation databases, the information given throughout is authoritative and well researched, as well as providing an entertaining look at the language. Holding the book together is the author’s firm enthusiasm in the language and his belief that English is not “going to the dogs”, merely undergoing the kind of radical changes which have been matched by earlier centuries.

Crop Ecology: Productivity and Management in Agricultural Systems
Sunday, April 26th, 2009Loomis, R S, and Connor, D J
What would happen if the unthinkable occurred, would we be able to cope using the knowledge we now have.
What might occur in the advent of a crop disaster in the US.
This book is centred on the ‘production processes’ of crops and pastures – photosynthesis and use of water and nutrients in fields. The book is unique in its combination of great breadth and depth in its treatment of production processes and systems problems. The approach is explanatory and integrative, with a firm basis in environmental physics, soils, physiology, and morphology, in contrast to descriptive or reductionist approaches. Systems concepts are introduced early and expanded as the book proceeds, giving emphasis to quantitative approaches, to management strategies and tactics employed by farmers, and to environmental issues. The systems approach is brought together in the final chapters where production and nutrient cycling are analyzed, for example farms and problems in an uncertain future are considered.
The book is based on courses taught by the authors in Australia and the United States and is designed for use as a text for an introductory course in crop ecology (advanced undergraduates and beginning post-graduate level).
It is more than text, however.
Given the wide range of subjects, the authors have integrated reference and background material to create a ’stand-alone’ reference work useful to a wide audience of agriculturalists.

That remains to be seen, but one thing for sure is that are some interesting
issues which may be decided during this case will reflect on the internet for
years to come.
