Ignaz Moscheles and the Changing World of Musical Europe

Ignaz Moscheles and the Changing World of Musical Europe

Mark Kroll

The Boydell Press
2014
sidottu
The first full-length study devoted to Ignaz Moscheles (1794-1870), pianist, conductor and composer. This book, the first full-length study devoted to Ignaz Moscheles (1794-1870), explores how the son of middle-class Jewish parents in Prague became one of the most important musicians of his era, achieving recognition and world-wide admiration as a virtuoso pianist, conductor and composer, a sought-after piano teacher, and a pioneer in the historical performance of early music. Placing Moscheles' career within the context of the social, political and economic milieu in which he lived, the book offers new insights into the business of music and music making; the lives and works of his contemporaries, such as Schumann, Meyerbeer, Chopin, Hummel, Rossini, Liszt, Berlioz and others; the transformation of piano playing from the classical to romantic periods; and the challenges faced by Jewish artists during a dynamic period in European history. A section devoted to Moscheles' engagement as both a performer and editor with the music of J. S. Bach and Handel enhances our understanding of nineteenth-century approaches to early music, and the separate chapters that detail Moscheles' interactions with Beethoven and his extraordinarily close relationship with Mendelssohn adds considerably to the existing literature on these two masters. MARK KROLL has earned worldwide recognition as a harpsichordist, scholar and educator during a career spanning more than forty years. Professor emeritus at Boston University, Kroll has published scholarly editions of the music of Hummel, Geminiani, Charles Avison and Francesco Scarlatti, and is the author of Johann Nepomuk Hummel: A Musician's Lifeand World; Playing the Harpsichord Expressively; and The Beethoven Violin Sonatas.

Adapting to Climate Change

Adapting to Climate Change

Mark Trexler; Laura Kosloff

Do Sustainability
2013
nidottu
Most companies do not yet recognize what it means to adapt to future climate change, and do not yet see it as a business priority. Adapting to Climate Change tackles two key questions facing decision makers: 1) Is adaptation worth it to me? and 2) If it is worth it, can I really tackle it?If a company has reason to worry about the potential impacts of weather on its operations and supply chains, it probably has cause to worry about climate change as well. However, "adapting to the weather" is not the same as incorporating climate change adaptation into corporate planning. In the former, a company is managing conditions they are already experiencing. The latter involves preparing for forecasted impacts of climate change. Focusing on today's weather and not tomorrow's climate leaves a lot of risk on the table, especially if the climate continues to change faster than many climate models have projected.The uncertainties associated with forecasting climate change on a time frame and at a scale that is relevant to corporate decision making can appear daunting. It is not necessary, however, to have perfect information to advance corporate preparedness for and resilience to climate change. Companies can improve their ability to make robust decisions under conditions of uncertainty without perfect information. A Bayesian approach to reducing uncertainty over time can cost-effectively support companies in understanding and managing many potential climate risks and can avoid the need to depend on future predictions. Instead, initial effort can focus on where a company will have confidence in its analysis and the ability to influence its level of risk, namely in assessing its exposure and vulnerability to climate hazards. As the hazards themselves become more clear, risk management strategies can be quickly adapted.

This coming-of-age quest for meaning and romance careens through Berkeley in the 70s and Orange County in the early 80s.Shipped off to college at Berkeley in the early 1970s, the author found himself at the epicenter of profound cultural changes, where pot smoking was a sacramental feature of dorm life, along with streaking, "Deep Throat," Ram Dass, and a stripper from Texas. In this wildly immersive and quixotic tale of his quest to find love, the author discovered himself in close proximity to the kidnapping of an heiress, the murder of a celebrity ski racer, and a panty raid that landed him in jail.It culminates in the author finding two great loves within a few months of each other. Told with unusual candor, the book stumbles upon cultural markers and minefields that were "clouds the size of a man's hand" 40 years ago.Through it all, a liberating thread weaves its way through this fast-paced, compelling narrative that results in an extraordinary finale offering reassurance and hope in the journey to find the truest love.

Living Uncommonly: Life-Changing Biblical Practices For Living A Life Of Purpose

Living Uncommonly: Life-Changing Biblical Practices For Living A Life Of Purpose

Mark Harner

Caliente Press
2019
nidottu
Living Uncommonly is about how to live life in an uncommon way from a distinctly Biblical perspective. It is written from the view of a common everyday person, one who desires to live life uncommonly in a more purposeful, effective, and meaningful way based on Biblical principles. The principles discussed in the book cover a variety of topics important to every person.FREE Study GuideGet the FREE Study Guide that accompanies Living Uncommonly at: https: //calientepress.com/livinguncommonlystudyguide/ A small sample of the topics in Living Uncommonly include purpose, work, making the most of opportunities, producing spiritual fruit, worry, humility, forgiveness, giving, spiritual disciplines, and finishing strong. Each of the chapters in Living Uncommonly establishes a Biblical basis for how to live uncommonly, often supported by stories and examples from the author's personal and professional experiences. Living Uncommonly was initially motivated by the author's desire to memorialize his thoughts on Biblically based, uncommon living practices for his grandchildren and future descendants. However, after a handful of family members and friends read the initial drafts of the book, the feedback was that the Biblical perspectives, combined with the life experiences shared in the book, would benefit a wider audience than just future generations of the author's own lineage. The author's hope is that this book of practical advice based on Scripture will enable all who read it to find new and better ways to live lives of purpose. The aim is to help people of all ages and backgrounds develop life practices that will draw every reader into a more intimate relationship with Christ so that they, in turn, may impact those in their sphere of influence in a substantially positive way. The approach to Living Uncommonly considers the contrast between Biblically based direction for living a life of meaning and purpose, compared to the predominant cultural trends in today's world.

Cod: A Biography of the Fish that Changed the World

Cod: A Biography of the Fish that Changed the World

Mark Kurlansky

PENGUIN BOOKS
1998
nidottu
"A charming fish tale and a pretty gift for your favorite seafood cook or fishing monomaniac. But in the last analysis, it's a bitter ecological fable for our time." -Los Angeles Times An unexpected, energetic look at world history via the humble cod fish from the bestselling author of Salt and The Basque History of the World Cod is the biography of a single species of fish, but it may as well be a world history with this humble fish as its recurring main character. Cod, it turns out, is the reason Europeans set sail across the Atlantic, and it is the only reason they could. What did the Vikings eat in icy Greenland and on the five expeditions to America recorded in the Icelandic sagas? Cod, frozen and dried in the frosty air, then broken into pieces and eaten like hardtack. What was the staple of the medieval diet? Cod again, sold salted by the Basques, an enigmatic people with a mysterious, unlimited supply of cod. As we make our way through the centuries of cod history, we also find a delicious legacy of recipes, and the tragic story of environmental failure, of depleted fishing stocks where once their numbers were legendary. In this lovely, thoughtful history, Mark Kurlansky ponders the question: Is the fish that changed the world forever changed by the world's folly? "Every once in a while a writer of particular skill takes a fresh, seemingly improbable idea and turns out a book of pure delight. Such is the case of Mark Kurlansky and the codfish." -David McCullough

Retail Location Planning in an Era of Multi-Channel Growth

Retail Location Planning in an Era of Multi-Channel Growth

Mark Birkin; Graham Clarke; Martin Clarke

Routledge
2019
nidottu
The way in which products and services are delivered to consumers, through branches and retail outlets, or more generally through a network of distribution channels, remains fundamentally important for maintaining a competitive advantage for a very wide range of businesses. This is true within domestic markets, but especially so for increasingly global corporations, as shareholder pressure for continued growth drives businesses into ever more widespread geographical markets.Arguing that more complex markets demand more sophisticated spatial analysis, this book discusses the application of location planning techniques to generate competitive advantage in a variety of business sectors in a changing retail environment. The series of techniques are analysed, from relatively straightforward branch scorecards to sophisticated applications of geographical information systems (GIS), spatial modelling and mathematical optimisation. Also explored are the changing dynamics of the impact of more restrictive planning environments in many countries on how retailers find new locations for growth and respond to changing consumer needs and wants.The book is essential reading for students and scholars alike working in geography, economics, business management, planning, finance and industry studies.

Microtrends: The Small Forces Behind Tomorrow's Big Changes

Microtrends: The Small Forces Behind Tomorrow's Big Changes

The adviser to Senator Hillary Clinton, Bill Gates, and President Bill Clinton proves that small is big by identifying 75 hidden-in-plain-sight trends that are moving America, revealing that the nation is no longer a melting pot but a collection of communities with many individual tastes and lifestyles. "The ideas in his book will help you see the world in a new way." --Bill Clinton "Mark Penn has a keen mind and a fascinating sense of what makes America tick, and you see it on every page of Microtrends." --Bill Gates In 1982, readers discovered Megatrends. In 2000, The Tipping Point entered the lexicon. Now, in Microtrends, one of the most respected and sought-after analysts in the world articulates a new way of understanding how we live. Mark Penn, the man who identified "Soccer Moms" as a crucial constituency in President Clinton's 1996 reelection campaign, is known for his ability to detect relatively small patterns of behavior in our culture-microtrends that are wielding great influence on business, politics, and our personal lives. Only one percent of the public, or three million people, is enough to launch a business or social movement. Relying on some of the best data available, Penn identifies more than 70 microtrends in religion, leisure, politics, and family life that are changing the way we live. Among them: People are retiring but continuing to work.Teens are turning to knitting.Geeks are becoming the most sociable people around.Women are driving technology.Dads are older than ever and spending more time with their kids than in the past. You have to look at and interpret data to know what's going on, and that conventional wisdom is almost always wrong and outdated. The nation is no longer a melting pot. We are a collection of communities with many individual tastes and lifestyles. Those who recognize these emerging groups will prosper. Penn shows readers how to identify the microtrends that can transform a business enterprise, tip an election, spark a movement, or change your life. In today's world, small groups can have the biggest impact.
