Haunted Houses
Scare-master Robert San Souci serves up ten chilling tales about untraditional haunted houses: a mansion full of pirate treasure, a ghost trapped in a mysterious dollhouse, a boy whose vacation house comes complete with people-eating spiders, and many more. But beware because not all of the protagonists in these stories get out alive.
A Writer's Wane and Other Short Stories, Plus a Mini Mystery
Throughout history, the human condition has been depicted in many forms, including fireside tales, street performances, plays, dramas, poems, short stories and the novel, just to name the most obvious. Every conceivable aspect of human existence has been confronted in multiple episodes of truths, half-truths, as well as fictionalized from the Real. Nothing new, of course, could be written about the many foibles and predicaments of human nature. But, for every tale, there is a different slant, a different set of characters, and a different drama unfolding. In the stories between the covers of this book, are characters who live only in the imagination of the author. Based upon reality, of course, but placed in their own settings, the stories are made up from the fabric of the human raw materials we each carry with us from Life's experiences. For every decision, there is a consequence, a payoff. Some outcomes are desirable and some are undesirable. But, with each decision we make, in large measure, we are creating our own lives. So... BEWARE!!
Information & On-Line Data in Astronomy
The ability of storing, managing, and giving access to the huge quantity of data collected by astronomical observatories is one of the major challenges of modern astronomy. At the same time, the growing complexity of data systems implies a change of concepts: the scientist has to manipulate data as well as information. Recent developments of the `WorldWideWeb' bring interesting answers to these problems. The book presents a wide selection of databases, archives, data centers, and information systems. Clear and up-to-date descriptions are included, together with their scientific context and motivations. Audience: This volume provides an essential tool for astronomers, librarians, data specialists and computer engineers.
The Art of the Song Recital
Since its original publication, the Emmons-Sonntag text has continually stood out as the definitive work on the song recital. The book presents imaginative advice and practical techniques for producing successful recitals and kindling audience excitement. Every aspect of the recital is covered, from building programs and the use of acting skills to the relationship between the singer and the accompanist. Singers of all levels and backgrounds will benefit from the authors vast experience in the performance of song recitals as a singer/accompanist team. The comprehensive repertoire lists, now organized by voice and instrumentation as well as by composer, appeal to both students and professional musicians. Readers will agree that the authors have met their goal of providing "extensive, throughgoing, and definitive insights into the attributes that can render the song recital at once a great art and a magnificent entertainment."
