Book Description
3 of the most popular modern violin concertos: Sibelius' Violin Concerto in D Minor, Op. 47 — among the most played and recorded of all violin concertos; Elgar's Violin Concerto in B Minor, Op. 61, a ravishing combination of bravura and sweetness; and Glazunov's Violin Concerto in A Minor, Op. 82, a masterpiece of lyricism and virtuosity.

A Great Presentation of Great 20th Century Violin Concertos.......2000-12-06
This excellent set of scores, published by Dover, brings Dover's consummate work at a reasonable price. The editors do a marvelous job of staying true to the original text from which their reprints are derived. The print is clear, and the staves are nice and distinct. (The only concern maybe that too much erasing could permanently wipe off the ink on the page.) Instruments are clearly labled and numberings of key pts. in the concerti help a lot. I highly recommend this book to any music enthusiast, and especially to all violinists who are playing, or will play, any of these great violin concerti.

Book Description
Susan Palwick, author of the remarkable Flying in Place, now returns with a compelling new novel of a family cast out of an idyllic realm, learning to live in our own troubled world. With its richly imagined portrayal of a lost culture, complete with poetry and fables, traditions and customs, and its searing yet sympathetic view of own society as seen through new eyes, The Necessary Beggar is an compelling examination of humanity and the redemptive power of love, in the spirit of Ursula K. Le Guin’s The Dispossessed and Robert A. Heinlein’s Stranger in a Strange Land.
Lémabantunk, the Glorious City, is a place of peace and plenty, of festivals and flowers, bejeweled streets and glittering waterfalls. But it is also a land of severe justice. Darroti, a young merchant, has been accused of an unforgiveable crime – the brutal murder a highborn woman. Now, in keeping with the customs of their world, his entire family must share in his punishment – exile to the unknown world that lies beyond a mysterious gate.
Passing through that gate, and grieving for the life they leave behind, Darroti and his family find themselves in a harsh and hostile land – America just a few years hence, a country under attack in a world torn by hatred and warfare. Unable to explain their origin, they are rapidly remanded to an internment camp in the Nevada desert, along with thousands of other refugees. There they endeavor to make sense of this ill-fated land where strange gods are worshipped, and living things like flowers and insects are not respected.
After Darroti, unable to bear his disgrace, takes his life, the rest of the family escapes to the outside world. There, each tries to cope in their own way. Timbor, the head of the clan, troubled by the restless spirit of his departed son who comes to him in dreams, does his best to preserve the old ways, and avoid conflict with the outsiders. His eldest son Masofo, who calls himself Max, is lured by the worldly temptations of this new world, while his second son, Erolorit, strives to make a decent life for his family.
But it is Timor’s granddaughter, Zamatryna, who is the quickest to adjust to this strange new world. It is she who is the first to learn its language, to adopt its customs, to accept this place as her new home. And, as the strain of adapting themselves to this new life begins to tear the family apart, it is Zama, sustained by the extraordinary love of an ordinary young man, who finds a way to heal their grief and give them new hope.

Unnecessary Inconsistency.......2007-06-09
This it is the type of book that epitomizes the term "mixed reviews." Some will love its allegorical social commentary and message of love and redemption, but others will find only contrived methods and sappy melodrama. I found myself swinging wildly between these two camps while reading the novel, which indicates a further problem with its inconsistency. Granted, the basic premise is pretty good, as people from some sort of parallel universe, with a much different human society, are exiled to our world and forced to adapt under trying circumstances. But unfortunately, Susan Palwick does little with this premise beyond the trite and predictable. First, the characters' homeworld, Gandiffri, is a thinly-constructed allegory for a pure and simple human society, and was surely created only to provide obvious contrasts with our world. This contrived sense of difference then makes the first half of this book extremely tiresome as the characters, and especially the leading lady Zamatryna, embark on longwinded and incredibly predictable discussions with their American friends about differences in customs and religious beliefs. This is the old "outside observer" device in fantasy/sci-fi that not only has been done to death for decades, but it's also been done much better.
The second half of the book gets more interesting, for a while, although this is where sheer melodrama weighs the story down. On the good side, there is one very readable and empathetic episode told in a flashback, the story of Darroti and Gallicina, but this merely sheds light on the weaknesses of the main storyline. Palwick tries to develop her characters but keeps writing herself into corners, finding escape in implausible coincidences and contrived plot devices - especially two different miraculously generous benefactors. Most importantly, as Zamatryna comes of age, the story strangely turns from predictable social commentary to clumsy chick-lit self-discovery, and the climax to the story dissolves into contrived melodrama as hardships and crises pile up suspensefully, but in the end all the characters experience implausibly rosy conclusions. And all of the above is built around the aforementioned message of love and redemption, which some readers will find little pleasure in trying to digest. Overall, this book is a fairly successful reading experience, and you're likely to stay interested to the end, but all the contrivances and inconsistency fail to go anywhere truly rewarding. [~doomsdayer520~]
very interesting but somewhat a lil unbelieveable.......2006-03-29
I thought the idea was exvellent, being sent through a portal to another world as punishment wow. But when you find out the truth, all the romance it doesn't add up. Why would anyone kill themslelf over something so stupid. Zama was so smart and had a great personality, but falling for a jock hmmm. I enjoyed this book but not one of my favorites, could have been written better
An incredible book.......2006-02-27
I read this book in one long sitting, staying up most of the night to do so. The story, which is told without ostentation, grows in power as it progresses. It depicts struggles -- and answers to them -- in a realistic and unflinching way without ever giving way to bathos, and the end is both unexpected and yet necessary given what came before. When I finished the book I felt deeply satisfied. The novel resonated for me on many levels, and continues to do so months after I first read it.
Necessary Reading.......2006-01-14
At its heart, Susan Palwick's The Necessary Beggar, is a rather simple story of a family from a parallel world trying to make a go of things in our world. Palwick's exiles arrive in Reno, Nevada, through a shimmering blue portal. They are not adventurers or heretics or invaders, but a simple family exiled for a crime of passion committed by the son of the narrator. The family is a good one that adheres to the teachings of its culture. They live by beliefs (an odd mix of Western and Eastern philosophies) that many of us would find admirable, beliefs that are often incompatible with their environment. Palwick's book, though, succeeds on a number of levels, creating a rich tapestry of themes. It is a mystery story, a ghost story, an adventure story, a coming of age story, and a story of romance.
A lovely book.......2006-01-13
Susan Palwick's "A Necessary Beggar" is a work of extreme richness, both fascinating and moving. The highly believable and convincing parallel-dimensional culture she has created would float a whole series of novels if she were inclined to write them, and yet, in a sense it's merely the "back story". The main story, told with a huge emotional range from deliciously wry satire to heart-rending pathos is about humanity and inhumanity. We see from the outside and the inside what xenophobia, religious intolerance, and unfeeling, unimaginative bureaucracy mean in the immigrant experience, as well as how the good in people (of whatever ethnicity) can overcome this. By the end of the novel I was almost cheering with delight. And Mike, yes this could make a movie-of-the-week on the Lifetime channel, but so could "The Scarlet Letter"! Don't confuse openness to feeling with sentimental wallowing.

Customer Reviews:
Great ending to a great series of books!!.......2004-07-17
Brittain brings Daimbert and his story line to an excellent conclusion! I first picked up A Bad Spell In Yurt and have been hooked on the Daimbert books ever since. Have read each a number of times. They all have fairly intriguing plots that keep you guessing. This finale is no exception! Tightly written and well thought out. I have read that Brittain is working on Yurt the next generation, and I can't wait until it is here!!!
Best Yet!.......2004-04-14
A very strong conclusion to the Daimbert series - in some ways this is the best yet from this fine fantasy writer.
Good but getting a little tired.......2001-11-20
Firstly it has a *dreadful* cover! Whatever were you thinking of, Mrs. B? The Baen ones conveyed the right atmosphere! General book manufacture is much better than the Baen ones, some of which fell apart as I read them.
The Yurt series is always readable. Daimbert and his friends (and enemies) are a cheerful lot, and their adventures are plotted without too much self-examination, which is very welcome. In this volume, Brittain reprises many of the locations from earlier books, as Daimbert travels around, finally wrapping up most of the loose ends from earlier series. Many characters make another appearance.
In Yurt-5 the series was showing signs of becoming tired - plot-material from earlier books was reworked, and although the result was readable enough, I felt doubts. The same problem affects this volume, but much more so. The final volume in many series tends to be a let-down, as the author simply ties up the knots. I fear the same has happened here, although it's quite readable. Various threads *have* been left open, and we can perhaps expect more books sometime.
Much as I would like to read more about Daimbert and Yurt, the author would be very well advised to give the series a rest. It's a pity that the Count Scar volume has not sold better, as I'd like a sequel to this.
I only wish it wasn't over!.......2001-03-16
I started this book Tuesday night and finished it Thursday. It was a well-crafted ending to a wonderful series.
I first picked up A Bad Spell in Yurt while visiting a sick relative. From page one I was hooked and devoured the entire series in less than a month. It was a great distraction from the constant trips to the hospital.
Daimbert is someone that anyone would be grateful to have as a friend. I appreciated the time taken with character development, that was careful not to show cariacatures of good and evil, but the complex gray areas we mere mortals dabble in as well.
This last book was highly entertaining and riveting. I am hoping the author will take pity on us all and continue the series through the following generation.
But, how can you possbly top a trip through Hell?
A Real Grand Finale for a Delightful Series!.......2000-12-08
I waited a LONG TIME for this book, and I have to say that it has lived up to my greatest hopes. It is the most satisfying book of the whole marvelous Yurt series. It tied up loose ends that I'd forgotten even existed, and I thoroughly enjoyed the reappearance of characters from earlier books. I also relished the outcome of the Daimbert/Elerius competition. Now, if C. Dale Brittain will only do a Yurt--The Next Generation, so I can see how Antonia turns out!

The Digital Satellite TV Handbook and companion CD-ROM will serve as your complete interactive course in the new digital satellite TV technologies. This textbook, which provides a comprehensive overview of all the digital satellite TV platforms currently in use world-wide, includes the essential satellite coverage maps and transmission parameters that readers will need to receive
digital TV services from any location around the world. It
also presents those aspects of digital video compression and high
definition TV that are of the highest relevance to installers,

satellite system operators and digital TV programmers around the globe. The CD-ROM also gives readers access to full-color versions of all the
textbooks, footprint maps, charts and other illustrations.

Outdated.......2003-02-20
This book is not worth the money. It has outdated information and in my opinion is poorly written. Save your money.
A good first book........2000-03-13
I found this book to be a good introduction to Satellite TV. It was an easy read. I think I went through the whole thing in a weekend. The first half of the book is pretty general. The second half is focused more on specific home satellite TV systems (I skimmed this part). The book comes with a CD-ROM which has color copies of many of the books figures.

Principles of Web Design.......2005-02-12
Clearly written/explained for the beginner or for an easy-to- follow review of HTML. Pages are well laid out and easy to read. It's important to me to be able to read the text while sitting in front of the monitor, therefore a book should be legible at "lap height". My only complaint is that "figure" examples should printed on the same page as the text explaining them.
Code errors confuse my students.......2000-09-07
I'm a full-time web development instructor with both high-school and returning adult students. I am using this book in my web design class. I liked the introductory chapter and the chapter on tables. However my students and I have run into a number of code errors (especially in the frames chapter) that are unacceptable. So I will continue looking for an excellent instructional book on web design. This book doesn't fit that criteria and I will not force it upon future students.

However my students and I have run into a number of code errors (especially in the frames chapter) that are unacceptable. So I will continue looking for an excellent instructional book on web design. This book doesn't fit that criteria and I will not force it upon future students.
A Very Useful Resource, User Friendly.......2000-03-31
This was one of the better web design books that I have read. It ranks even above HTML Goodies web design books. From an experienced web designer I recommend this book greatly.
