A unique new guide ... but oh-so tiny print
By Alan Lekan
This giant, 5 lb, small-print guide is not exactly a book you nestle down with in your reading chair. Let the buyer beware: if you are a person who cannot or does not like to read really, really FINE PRINT, then this guide is probably not for you. It has by far the tiniest print I have seen in a book - even smaller than the "Third Ear Guide to Classical Music" if you are familiar with that one.

In my first look at this monster-of-a-guide, I could not get beyond this tiny print and the overly-plain visual layout. But, with another long look, the value of this unique guide started to stand out clearly. There is a reason for such tiny print - to cram in an unbelievably vast amount of information in one volume. The All Music Guide is enormously ambitious in what is contains:
o BIOGRAPHIES of over 500 composers AND 800 performers (unprecidented in one volume)
o Fairly detailed PROGRAM NOTES for an impressively large number of works (not just the major ones)
o Listings of 2-6 RECOMMENDED RECORDINGS for each work (but no comparison or explanations of the choices like Penguin)
o ESSAYS on the major musical periods and forms (difficult to read these longer sections with the tiny font size!)

The amount and level of detail of the program notes is impressive - giving musical history, perspective and minor analysis for not only a given category of work (say, Mozart's 27 piano concertos) but also most or all of the individual works! These essays are not unlike those found in a CD liner notes. So, with this guide, you can look up the background and musical insights of Mozart's concerto #20 as well as see what recordings/astists are recommended for that one concerto. The only other guide that does this is Penguin Guide. So, now can you appreciate why this book has such tiny print and weighs a ton? But, as enormous as this guide is, don't expect EVERY composition to be listed. For instance, under "Beethoven" there is ample discussion about the string quartets, there is little text or recordings for the ten violin sonatas and early string trios.

Another valuable aspect for many will be the biographies of the great past and present PERFORMERS. This volume contains fairly detailed highlights of each artist career (2-4 paragraphs) AND a listing of their finest recordings for performers like Argerich, Grumiaux, Perlman, Perahia, Rubinstein, Horowitz, Galloway, Holzinger, Bain and so on. (But some of your personal favorites may not be there - like Rachel Podger and Pamela Frank for me). However, I found the performer biographies a bit dry with not enough juicy details about their lives, styles and sometimes quirky sides to make it really compelling and interesting. (tip: one of the best books for fascinating personal stories on the great pianists is David Dubal's book, "The Art of the Piano").

Also, keep in mind that the AMG is NOT a CD/DVD guide as it only LISTS a few recommended recordings and does not compare/contrast/explain them (like Penguin, Third Ear, or Gramophone Guides). But, then again the title says "Guide to Classical Music" and not "Guide to CD's DVD's" like the others. So, its a different animal. But, I thought the AMG's focused recommendations were up-to-date and reliable overall, giving a good range of historic, modern, and budget choices. All-in-all, a valuable addition if you already have Penguin, Gramophone and Third Ear Guides to Classical Music.

An outstanding guide for information and recordings
By Larry VanDeSande
Published in 2005, the All Music Guide to Classical Music (AMG) is a handy home version of some features from its webpage. As a published guide, is more a direct competitor to the The Rough Guide to Classical Music and does not directly compete with buying recommendation guides like The Penguin Guide to Recorded Classical Music and Classical Music: Third Ear. Like Third Ear, the AMG assigns composer coverage to a single individual -- usually more than one writer works on different sections of a composer's output; sometimes a different writer covers each symphony or concerto of a composer -- giving readers what amounts to an individual, not group, recommendation. This is one of the principal shortcomings of Third Ear, which operates the same way.

Among its best points, this is a comprehensive guide to composers and performers, perhaps more so for the latter than the former, giving both new and experienced collectors a tad of information on their favorite orchestras, ensembles, conductors and performers. I learned in this guide violinsit Joshua Bell was born in 1967, making him older than I suspected and two decades older than he appears on the cover of his new Tchaikovsky Violin Concerto. I'd never read his birthdate in any of his recordings or in the music dictionaries I own. I tried to find violinist Janene Jansen's age; she isn't represented in the book.

Another plus: the AMG provides recommended recordings for every individual and group it discusses. Fans of the English Concert may or may not agree with recommendations for its recordings of Haydn's "Sturm und Drang" symphonies, Handel Orchestral Suites, Vivaldi Concertos, Bach Brandenburg Concertos, and Handel's complete Organ Concertos. I've heard many of these recordings and the recommendations seem judicious.

The recording recommendations in this guide are safe and sometimes better. The writers often recommend very well known and long established recordings, always on major labels. In the section on British symphonist Ralph Vaughan Williams, each writer discussing VW's individual symphonies recommends the most well-known stereo recordings of Boult, Hickox and Barbirolli. Not a single writer recommended any Vaughan Williams recording of Vernon Handley, one of the best living interpreters of this composer. Nor does one recommend a single recording from the VW Naxos series that has garnered acclaim all over the place.

As a result, for all AMG's worthwhile descriptions of composers and performers, the recording recommendations require amplification from elsewhere. The book is also not thorough with every composer. Its section on one of my favorites composers, Franz Krommer, does not discuss or make recording recommendations on his best and most popular body of work, his Octet-Partitas. Neither is there any section describing the time and work from one of my favored minor composers, Joseph Triebensee; nor is there a section describing one of my favored lesser recorded conductors, Claus Peter Flor. So, while good, this tome is far from complete. You may located some missing material at the All Music Guide's Web site, if you choose.

The guide describes itself this way: "A handy, single-volume guilde to the kaleidoscopic world of classical music - one that doesn't cost a fortune and doesn't require an advance degree to understand." Maybe it doesn't cost a fortune; the one I have is labeled $34.95; you can get it for much less here. And maybe it's straighforward much of the time but not always. In fact, the composer sections and sections on recordings are written by musicologists that often go into musical detail beyond the average listener.

Here's an excerpt from the descripton of William Walton's Sympony No. 1: "Write a fugue...the result was a dam-breaking fugue three minutes into the movement before the pace switched from Brioso ed ardentemente (spiritiedly, ardently) to Vivacissimo, leading to a return of the Maestoso materials that began it."

The AMG is, in the main, a useful guide to the realm of classcial music performers and recordings. It is superior to the Rough Guide to Classical Music and operates in similar bandwidth. It tries to tell you a little about everything and, to some extent, it succeeds and gives information other books skip.

This is a excellent starting point for a beginner that offers a little about everything and everyone and is vastly superior to the Rough Guide. For more experienced listeners and collectors, it makes a meaningful addtion to your library that already contains the Penguin Guide, Third Ear and a good encyclopedic tool such as the Oxford Dictionary of Music of The Penguin Companion to Classical Music, all of which offer more detailed information in their specific areas of expertise.

There is much to like here. The book is massive
By Alan L. Saltzstein
There is much to like here. The book is massive, but also generally well written and even occasionally with a sense of humor. Don't be turned off by the small print. Pretend you are reading the New York Times. I have only scratched the surface, but already have learned a great deal.

When people attempt to learn a new language, the language(s) they already know can help but also hinder their understanding or production of new forms. This phenomenon, known as language transfer, is the focus of this book. The collection offers new theoretical perspectives, some in the empirical studies and some in other chapters, and consists of four sections considering lexical, syntactic, phonological and cognitive perspectives. The volume provides a wealth of studies on the influence of Chinese on the acquisition of English but also includes studies involving Finnish, French, Hindi, Korean, Persian, Spanish, Swedish and Tamil. It will be of great interest to researchers and students working in the areas of crosslinguistic influence in second language acquisition, language pedagogy and psycholinguistics.

Review

There is nothing more satisfying than seeing established researchers join forces with lesser known colleagues to push theoretical, methodological and geographical boundaries. Terence Odlin, the grandfather of transfer research, teamed up with Liming Yu and produced this excellent book, including contributions by Western and Chinese scholars who bring in a fresh Asian perspective.

(Jean-Marc Dewaele, Birkbeck, University of London, UK)

This volume is an interesting and innovative collection of articles on language transfer. It is unique in its presentation of papers on both theoretical perspectives and data-based studies in the context of the interaction between English and Chinese as L1 and L2 (among others). It is essential reading for anyone concerned with the processes of second language acquisition and multilingualism, not just the featured subject of language transfer.

(Danuta Gabryś-Barker, University of Silesia, Poland)

With its logical categorization of studies as well as accessible�writing style, lucid explanation of theories and experiments as well as pedagogical comment,�and reflections on transfer in each study, this is undoubtedly an ideal academic volume not�only for SLA researchers and language teachers, but for undergraduates and postgraduates�involved in SLA research as well.

(Pengfei Lei and Jinfen Xu, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, China Language and Education, 2016)

About the Author
Liming Yu is Professor Emeritus, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, China and President of the China Educational Linguistics Association. His research interests have focused on language transfer in second language acquisition, the disciplinary nature of second language acquisition and theory and practice in bilingual education.

'Way I see it,' she said, glass in one hand, lit cigarette in the other, 'girls are tied to beds for two reasons: sex and exorcisms. So, which was it with you?'Laura and Tyler are best friends who live together, angrily philosophising and leading each other astray in the pubs and flats of Manchester. But things are set to change. Laura is engaged to teetotal Jim, the wedding is just months away, and Tyler becomes hell-bent on sabotaging her friend's plans for a different life.Animals is a hilarious, moving and refreshingly honest tale of how a friendship can become the ultimate love story.

Could have been great
By Amazon Customer
Conceptually good, I really wanted to love this book. But it felt quite repetitive on nights out, drinking, taking drugs. I think I hoped it would be a bit grittier about the friendship and fianc�. Some lovely moments in there too though.

After conquering Atlanta in the summer of 1864 and occupying it for two months, Union forces laid waste to the city in November. William T. Sherman's invasion was a pivotal moment in the history of the South and Atlanta's rebuilding over the following fifty years came to represent the contested meaning of the Civil War itself. The war's aftermath brought contentious transition from Old South to New for whites and African Americans alike. Historian William Link argues that this struggle defined the broader meaning of the Civil War in the modern South, with no place embodying the region's past and future more clearly than Atlanta.
Link frames the city as both exceptional--because of the incredible impact of the war there and the city's phoenix-like postwar rise--and as a model for other southern cities. He shows how, in spite of the violent reimposition of white supremacy, freedpeople in Atlanta built a cultural, economic, and political center that helped to define black America.

Meticulously researched . . . Link's book is a well-crafted study well worth the attention of those interested in the early dynamics of race relations.--H-Net Reviews

Give[s] us a better sense of why Atlanta serves well as an exemplar of this era in the South's history.--Journal of American History



This is an important book, and William Link shows that Atlanta was indeed a place where the past and the future, the Civil War and the New South, race and economics, and memory and reality converged.--North Carolina Historical Review

Review
From Sherman's March to Gone with the Wind, Atlanta plays a central role in Americans' shared memory of the Civil War. William Link's rich narrative sifts through the ashes of Atlanta's history to reveal the fascinating, and true, stories hidden beneath.--Edward L. Ayers, author of In the Presence of Mine Enemies: War in the Heart of America, 1859-1863



Lively and original. Link presents a thorough and carefully nuanced account of the role of race in the remarkable story of Atlanta's destruction and re-emergence as a center of black intellectual and economic life thereafter. This will be the definitive account of Atlanta and the rise of the New South for many years to come." --Lacy Ford, University of South Carolina

Atlanta, Cradle of the New South: Race and Remembering in the Civil War's Aftermath (Civil War America)
By Rev. Dr. Greg T. Bailey
This is a comprehensive history book on Atlanta during and after the Civil War. If one wants to know how Atlanta made literal a handful
of metaphors to transform its image, that one should read the compelling story compiled by Dr. William A. Link. He explores and provides
the original documents from significant policy makers to provide the reader with a day to day account of the emergence of the "New South". He explains
how Atlanta came out of the ashes of the Civil War and the aftermath of Sherman's march to the sea to become known as the mythical town
of Phoenix and to be known as "Resurgens". He excels in providing the background to every community including the African American community
that must survive the emancipation without preparation and resources and the much needed aid they receive from the American Missionary Association.
No great contributor to the emergence of Atlanta becomes a great city escapes the probing analysis of author Link. I highly recommend this book to anyone
seeking to learn about the growth and recovery of the City that is now known as to "busy to hate" and but now not to "busy to Love".

Poorly Written
By Bradley W. Jones
Written like a mediocre high school term paper. The text is a series of quotes and often irrelevant information, strung together in a hopelessly meandering style.

Happy soaking: ) Sally and
By Sally Jackson
We are biased as we are the authors! We decided to post this review to add to the brief summary given by Amazon for this new edition. We have written to ask them to change it to the following;
This fifth edition contains descriptions and directions to 162 undeveloped hot springs throughout Idaho, Washington, Oregon and British Colombia (nineteen of them are new to this edition). All of the photos and maps are in color. All but a handful of the hot springs have GPS coordinates listed.

Happy soaking :)

Wow, Awesome Book
By Wilbur
My wife and I bought this book before a bird watching trip to eastern Oregon. It really made the trip with excellent, accurate description and direction to a great hot spring where we could camp alone and enjoy 107 degree water day and night. We met in Yellowstone over thirty years ago and our first date was "hot potting". Really a full circle and this one spring and the "spot on" directions were well worth the price of the book. Found other springs as well with like, accurate descriptions and directions. We look forward to more trips specifically around hot springs described in Western Oregon and also Idaho. Nice photos and nice lay out of the book, a real winner.

Mike May spent his life crashing through. Blinded at age three, he defied expectations by breaking world records in downhill speed skiing, joining the CIA, and becoming a successful inventor, entrepreneur, and family man. He had never yearned for vision. Then, in 1999, a chance encounter brought startling news: a revolutionary stem cell transplant surgery could restore May’s vision. It would allow him to drive, to read, to see his children’s faces. But the procedure was filled with gambles, some of them deadly, others beyond May’s wildest dreams. Beautifully written and thrillingly told, Crashing Through is a journey of suspense, daring, romance, and insight into the mysteries of vision and the brain. Robert Kurson gives us a fascinating account of one man’s choice to explore what it means to see–and to truly live.

From Publishers Weekly
Blinded in a childhood accident, Mike May never hesitated to try anything—driving a motorcycle, hiking alone in the woods, downhill skiing—until the day, when May was 46, an ophthalmologist told him a new stem-cell and cornea transplant could restore his vision. As Esquire contributing editor Kurson (Shadow Divers) relates, the decision to have the surgery wasn't easy. May, always a "pioneer in his heart," had never really felt he was missing anything in life. The surgery also had a few risks: the restoration of sight might only be temporary; the immunosuppressive drug was highly toxic; May might never adjust to the changes having sight would cause. Previously, patients had become depressed, their lives ruined because, while it might seem strange to sighted people, these patients found that the idea of vision was better than the reality. May went forward, only to find that, even though his eye was now perfect, his brain had forgotten how to process visual input. Fascinated by colors and patterns, he had difficulty discerning facial features, letters, even men from women. How May adjusts to his medical miracle, living with the disappointments as well as the joys, makes for a remarkable story of courage and endurance.

From Bookmarks Magazine
Robert Kurson's Shadow Divers (**** Sept/Oct 2004), a tale of a deadly search for a German U-boat off the coast of New Jersey, became an instant classic among adventure readers who enjoy well-told, high-octane nonfiction. In Crashing Through, the author finds an equally compelling subject. Kurson's journalistic instincts are strong, and tight writing and thorough research reflect his journalist background. The profile of Mike May is generally engaging-particularly in describing the difficult transition to the sighted world and what happens when May is ripped out of his comfort zone. However, readers should know that the story of May's personal struggles takes a back seat to Kurson's lucid exploration of the brain's circuitry and fascinating details of how we can have vision without really seeing.

From Booklist
By the time he turned 44, Mike May had accomplished a lot. He had been an Olympic downhill skier and won three gold medals at the 1982 Winter Games. He was an entrepreneur with a specialized portable GPS system under development. He had lived for a time in Ghana among the villagers of Kumbuli, helping them to build a schoolhouse. He had even worked briefly for the CIA. So when doctors offered May the opportunity to regain his eyesight via a risky corneal transplant, he took the chance of a lifetime. May had been blinded by a chemical explosion at the age of 3, and the operation would make him one of only 60 documented cases of vision restoration after long-term blindness. The surgery proved successful, and May's experience with his new eyesight was packed with adventure—and difficulty. Kurson wrote the best-selling Shadow Divers (2004), about risk-taking deep-wreck divers. His latest offering documents a different kind of courage, as embodied by a man who was willing to take enormous risks on behalf of his curiosity. Eberle, Jerry

Humorous story about seeing the world after being blind
By Laura Martinson
Amazing story about a man who, blinded at age 3, still rode his bike, ran, and even skied in the olympics. When he gets his sight back as an adult, he very humorously explains what it is like to see a sexy woman, his family, and such things as shadows verses a curb. It is both an uplifting story and an eye opener into the world of vision and the brain.

Absolutely Remarkable, Unbelievably Inspiring...
By JenRink
This is quite simply the most amazing book I have read in years. From a purely superficial perspective, the book is a great read, it is intense, griping and entertaining. But "Crashing Through" is more like an onion than a book. Though I just read and finished it over the last three days I can see myself reading this book many, many more times in the future and drawing fresh insights from it. Among the layers:

It is a fascinating exploration into the science and pyschology of vision, extremely complicated material that I felt was delivered masterfully in layman's terms without oversimplifying the material, and with a variety of illustrations to further explain complicated processes.

Another reader commented that it is a sort of self-help book and I agree, one can certainly see the motivational speaker at work in many parts of the book. I don't mean that as a detraction though, on the contrary I found the way that Mike May has quite literally "crashed through" life to be rather challenging to me personally.

The moral, ethical, and spiritual facets of blindness, vision, and vision restoration are extremely engaging. Normally I just tear through books, but this one took me some time to finish because I had to stop frequently to think about the words on the page, not to comprehend them but to really contemplate the message. Beyond the mechanics of vision, what does it mean to truly "see" -- and which is more valuable? Vison or "seeing."

Last, as another reviewer also mentioned, it's a great parenting book...and I'd add marriage manual to that as well.

I highly recommend this book, I think it would be great for a book club as there is no shortage of discussion topics. I have several friends who are teachers and I think this book would be great to "read alound" to a class (though there is one post-vision-restoration-romance-encounter...just one chapter they'd better skip, but for older teens I don't think even that would be a problem.) I'll certainly read it to my kids someday. And though I never buy people books because I don't want to impose my taste on anybody, in this case I will definitely make an exception.

Great book.
By becksoccer
This book is fascinating and leads to a number of other areas of inquiry. I started relating this to my husband's deafness, my nephew's autism. The format and direction of the story line were terrific. Waiting to give the medical explanations until late in the book worked well.
