Book Description
This groundbreaking collection of thirteen original essays analyzes connections between film and two highly influential twentieth-century movements. The essays, which comment on specific films and deal with theoretical and topical questions, are framed by a documentary section that includes a photographic reproduction of the manuscript scenario for Robert Desnos's and Man Ray's L'Etoile de mer, and an introduction by the editor that provides a cogent working model for the difference between Dada and Surrealist perspectives.

Book Description
Dowani Tempi Play Along is an effective and time-tested method of practicing that offers more than conventional play-along editions. Dowani 3 Tempi Play Along enables you to learn a work systematically and with accompaniment at different tempi. The first thing you hear on the CD is the concert version in a first-class recording with solo instrument and orchestral, continuo, or piano accompaniment. Then the piano or harpsichord accompaniment follows in slow and medium tempo for practice purposes, with the solo instrument heard softly in the background at a slow tempo. Finally, you can play at the original tempo to the accompaniment of an orchestra, piano, or basso continuo. All versions appearing on the CD were recorded live by renowned soloists, accompanists, and orchestras. There are no synthesised sounds in a Dowani edition!
Book Description
Two-piano edition, with second piano playing a transcription of the orchestration. Two copies necessary for performance.
Customer Reviews:
A new level of Gershwin participation.......2004-12-12
I've been into the C.I.F. since I first heard its vast assortment of sounds in 1980 as a college student. Though I'd had enough piano study to know the basics of sheet music reading, my objective in owning a single copy of 2P4H is just to follow along as I listen to a recording, realizing that this is really the score, to something I doubted could be so fully documented. The challenge for this level of musical aspirant is not to play, therefore, but merely to observe, and to dream, but I find it fun, even, when I can keep up through some of those long sections of Allegro, Adagio and Allegro agitato.

Book Description
Chopin's Piano Concertos have often been criticized for their orchestration. In the past this has frequently led to changes or complete re-workings of the instrumentation. But on closer examination Chopin's own versions contain many sophisticated and subtle orchestral effects, especially in the F minor Concerto. This is the first printed edition of an authentic version based on a partly autograph source and dateable to the summer of 1835. It is supplemented by a detailed editorial report with further information for the scholarly user. Preface * Transmission and Publication * Assessment of the sources * Editorial Notes * Editorial principles * Individual Notes * Readings in Schlesinger's edition for piano solo * I. Maestoso * II. Larghetto * III. Allegro vivace

Customer Reviews:
3-d Maps.......2005-08-14
Provides 3-d cutouts to use with miniature play. Adds a touch of realism to the game to backup the DM's description. Easy to assemble, and fun to use.
Fantastic models.......2005-04-16
Great cardstock quality, excellent color and fun to build. You can put together a great town/village for any RPG setting. Highly recommended.
Unfortunately, the other reviewer didn't understand the imaging on the covers. You can indeed build a castle. You only need to buy additional copies of the map folio and combine walls and towers!
Also, you can download additional buildings from Wizards of the Coast for free to supplement your town.
Great.......2005-02-03
This map folio is awsome. It really helps for towns and in town adventures. I recomend it to everyone who plays site based adventures. That other guy who gave it one star doesn't know what he is talking about because this map folio is great.
Its usable, but very misleading.......2005-01-09
First of all, I must say that the buildings in and of themselves in this book are rather well designed and flawless in their rpg value. Much like what you may find in the Warhammer line of games, this can be used in a variety of rp systems. That in and of itself is good. However, however I want to make it clear that there is one major problem with this book of buildings--the picture on the front shows a castle...the picture on the back shows a castle...there is NO castle in this booklet. You get a wall, a cottage, a tower, an inn, a smithy, and a outbuilding. But if you are expecting to have a nicely designed castle in this book...you aren't going to find it. That in and of itself is the reason I give this a one star. I consider that false advertising so to speak. I work in retail and when I told a customer the fact I am letting you (potential buyers you are) about this, he too was very upset. Of course this book is about ten dollars, give or take a penny, so its not like you are shelling out the Warhammer kind of dollars (in the fifty to 100 range of $$$). Still, as the book does not contain the castle, which looks pretty spiffy at least via the front and back cover, there is a sour note to this purchase.
In the end, yes the buildings are a wonderful addition to one's games, but I and some of my buyers have been miffed by the fact that you belief you are getting not just the buildings that you do get, but also the castle...which would have given this a five star review.

The second edition of Peter Block's Flawless Consulting gracefully updates what many consider the best resource of its kind. New chapters on implementation, "whole-system" strategies, and ethics are included, but in general it simply fine-tunes Block's proven advice to match the transformations that business and society have undergone since initial publication two decades ago. "The days of long studies and expert-driven answers are passing," the author proclaims in his new preface. "The task of the consultant is increasingly to build the capacity of clients to make their own assessments and answer their own questions." He then subtly modifies his established recommendations accordingly for every step, from the initial client meeting and problem diagnosis through data collection and the execution of solutions. In the section on "Conducting a Group Feedback Meeting," for example, he advises: "Treat the group as a collection of individuals.... Ask each person what he or she wants from the meeting. This will surface differences and force the group to take responsibility for some of the difficulties that may arise." --Howard Rothman
Book Description
The second edition of the "consultant's bible" is here!
For over fifteen years, consultants--both internal and external--have relied on Peter Block's landmark bestseller, Flawless Consulting, to learn how to deal effectively with clients, peers, and others. Using illustrative examples, case studies, and exercises, the author, one of the most important and well known in his field, offers his legendary warmth and insight throughout this much-awaited second edition. Anyone who must communicate in a professional context--and who doesn't?--will use the lessons taught in this book for years to come!
"Who would have thought the 'consultant's bible' could be improved upon? Count on Peter Block--the consulting profession's very own revolutionary--to push us to confront and struggle with the paradoxes inherent in our work."
--Candace Thompson, organization development consultant, First Chicago NBD--A Bank One Company
"Block has distilled years of experience into a wise, down-to-earth, and eminently practical guide to excellence in consulting. If you are new to the practice, Flawless Consulting will chop years off your learning cycle. And even if you're an old pro, Block's insights will elevate you to new levels of effectiveness. Flawless Consulting is not simply about becoming a better consultant; it is about using consulting as a path toward becoming a better person."
--Barry Oshry, president, Power & Systems, Inc.; author of Seeing Systems and Leading Systems
Customer Reviews:
You Get Out What You Put In.......2007-09-08
This is the essence of this book.
Full of practical and common sense ideas for consulting professionals. Can't say that it will teach you how to be flawless in your consulting services but it will give you some pretty solid ideas.
NOT FOR ENTRY-LEVEL CONSULANTS AT ALL !.......2007-08-10
If you are a seasoned consultant who has been applying Block's theory of consulting for a decade or two, as we have at One Big Idea Consulting Limited NZ, and if you are also, as we are,committed to 'flawless' consulting, which by definition is beyond human measurement, this audio is a solid investment of your time and concentration.
Be warned it is not for the superficial US American habit of commuter listening. Block is serious about his intention to release 'flawless' consulting skills, which are extremely rare globally. He deserves focus and concentration all the way through more than once.
Listen with head-phones and no distractions and no multi-tasking, for say, half-dozen times through his whole story... and go back into your client-centred world with renewed dedication and refreshed facilitation skills at a consulting core-level.
The only international consultant who is worthy of comparison is Rapid Results!: How 100-Day Projects Build the Capacity for Large-Scale Change Schaffer is also a very, very competent consultant with his own One Big Idea tough-tested in a wide range of 100-Day Action Projects around the world, unfortunately so far not on audio.
AudioBook version induces Beginner's Mind.......2007-07-03
Whether you've read Flawless Consulting in book form or not, I hope you will try the audio edition. It is wonderful!
Having been a fan of this book and recommended it to everyone I meet in the consulting world (largely IT/Agile), I have read this book many times over the 20 years I have owned one or the other edition. But listening to it being read to me on CD was like discovering Block's brilliance for the first time! It was truly stunning. In fact, I didn't believe it was the same book, so fresh were the insights that pored from the words. I guess I was blind before hearing it, in a manner of speaking. Hope you enjoy it too.

Must Read for entry level consultant.......2007-05-29
Great information for all entry level and junior consultants wanting to succeed in the Consulting world. Very clear and defined revealing chapters on all the "Must read" topics. I have over 23 years of experience, and everything a Consultant needs to know is there, spelled out in details, the only missing thing is the suit, shirt and tie.
Additionally, please consider reading the Filedbook & Companion", that is a great complement to the information provided.
