What gives the ten masterpieces selected for this book their extraordinary vitality? In this magisterial volume, Harvey Sachs, author of the highly acclaimed biography Toscanini, takes readers into the heart of ten great works of classical music-works that have endured because they were created by composers who had a genius for drawing music out of their deepest wellsprings. These masters-Mozart and Beethoven; Schubert, Schumann, Berlioz, Verdi, andBrahms; Sibelius, Prokofiev, and Stravinsky-communicated their life experiences through music, and through music they universalized the intimate. By expanding our perceptions of these ten pieces-composed in the years between 1784 and 1966-Sachs, in lush,exquisite prose, invites us to consider why music stimulates, disturbs, exalts, and consoles us. He has lived with these masterpieces for a lifetime, and his descriptions of them and the dramatic lives of the composers who wrote them bring a heightened dimension to the musical perceptions of readers who may be casual listeners, students, professional musicians, or anyone in between"--

Latino leaders speak : personal stories of struggle and triumph / by Ibarra, Mickey,editor.(CARDINAL)865821; Perez-Brown, Maria,1961-editor.(CARDINAL)670283;

Cigarroa, Physician & Chancellor, The University of Texas System -- Henry G. Cisneros, Secretary of Housing & Urban Development -- Virgilio P. Elizondo, Reverend Father & Professor, The University of Notre Dame -- Lily Eskelsen-Garcia, President, National Education Association -- Alberto R. Gonzales, U.S. Attorney General -- Carlos Guti©♭rrez, Businessman & U.S. Secretary of Commerce -- Luis Guti©♭rrez, Congressman, U.S. House of Representatives -- Jos©♭ Hern©Łndez, Astronaut, NASA -- Maria Hinojosa, producer, author & journalist -- Dolores Huerta, civil rights activist & President, Dolores Huerta Foundation -- Mel Mart©Ưnez, U.S. Senator & U.S. Secretary of Housing & Urban Development -- Robert "Bob" Men©♭ndez, U.S. Senator -- Omar Minaya, General Manager, NY Mets -- Gloria Molina, County Supervisor, Los Angeles County -- Richard Monta©łez, author & Executive Vice President, PepsiCo -- Janet Murgu©Ưa, President & CEO, National Council of La Raza -- Soledad O'Brien, journalist, producer & anchor, CNN -- Federico Pe©ła, Mayor, City of Denver -- Thomas E. P©♭rez, Chair of the Democratic National Committee & U.S. Secretary of Labor -- William "Bill" Richardson, Governor, New Mexico -- Adam Rodr©Ưguez, actor & screenwriter -- Ken Salazar, U.S. Secretary of the Interior -- Mar©Ưa Elena Salinas, News Anchor, Univision -- Ricardo S©Łnchez, Lieutenant General, U.S. Army -- Hilda L.

Vel©Łzquez, Congresswoman, New York's 7th District -- Antonio Ram©đn Villaraigosa, Chairman, Democratic National Convention & Mayor, Los Angeles.""People do not define you," Soledad O'Brien's Cuban mother repeatedly told her children. "You define yourself." And so this mixed-race, first-generation Latina American would go on to succeed in her field, ultimately becoming an anchor for CNN. O'Brien's remarks, like the others included in this volume, reflect on what it means to be Latino in the United States. For her, "It's succeeding, fulfilling the dream and then turning around and grabbing everybody else and making it happen for them too." The importance of education is a common refrain in the lives of the leaders represented here. Many reference one particular teacher or mentor who made a difference. The late Reverend Father Virgilio Elizondo, a professor at the University of Notre Dame, said his fifth-grade teacher changed his life. She taught him to love school and learning. Others remember the sacrifices made by parents so that their children could have more opportunities for a better life. In all, these writings are both a testament to perseverance and a guide to life, for readers of all backgrounds. Originally presented at the Latino Leaders Luncheon Series in Washington, DC, and other major cities, the personal stories included in this book are all by successful Latinos involved in a variety of occupations, from politics and sports to education and activism. Contributors include former Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa; former general manager of the New York Mets, Omar Minaya; and Dr. Francisco G. Cigarroa, the Chancellor of the University of Texas System. Their words will inspire readers of all ages to follow their dreams and help those less fortunate."--Provided by publisher.

Los amantes anónimos : novela / by Gutiérrez Solís, Salvador,1968-;
El mismo día en el que Juan Carlos I anuncia su abdicación aparecen en tres ciudades de España -Sevilla, Madrid y Barcelona-, en papeleras de lugares muy conocidos y frecuentados, restos humanos semicongelados: un pie, una mano y un corazón. Todos los indicios apuntan a la siniestra estrategia de un asesino en serie que quiere acaparar toda la atención. Para tratar de resolver el caso, la policía recurre a la excéntrica, huraña e intuitiva inspectora Carmen Puerto que, a pesar de su autoimpuesta reclusión, es capaz de analizar, interpretar y desvelar los crímenes más complicados. Como en "El lenguaje de las mareas", Carmen Puerto encontrará en Jaime Cuesta y Julia Núñez los ojos y las manos que la conectarán con el exterior. "Los amantes anónimos", primera de las novelas protagonizada por Carmen Puerto, es un fascinante y adictivo thriller en el que se dan cita los asesinos en serie, el mundo de la televisión y el de las finanzas, la corrupción política, la soledad tras las redes sociales, el sexo en todas sus variantes y los rincones más oscuros de las páginas de contactos. Una novela que toma al lector de la mano y lo introduce en la trama, hasta conseguir que llegue a "contemplarla" con sus propios ojos, gracias a la narrativa visual y precisa de Salvador Gutiérrez Solís. Literatura de alto voltaje que se asoma a la realidad, convirtiéndola en una pieza esencial de un complejo y perfectamente ensamblado artefacto narrativo.
