emotional. From Bach to Mozart and Chopin, history's greatest
composers have stood the test of time and continue to delight
listeners from all walks of life. And in Classical Music For
Dummies, you'll dive deeply into some of the greatest pieces of
music ever written. You'll also get: A second-by-second listening
guide to some of history's greatest pieces, annotated with time
codes A classical music timeline, a field guide to the orchestra,
and listening suggestions for your next foray into the classical
genre Expanded references so you can continue your studies with
recommended resources Bonus online material, like videos and audio
tracks, to help you better understand concepts from the book

It's also a funny, authoritative guide to expanding your musical
horizons--and to learning how the world's greatest composers laid

Taking seriously the commonplace that a man is known by the company
he keeps—and particularly by the company he keeps over his
lifetime—one can learn more about just about anyone by learning
more about his friends. By applying this notion to Shakespeare,
this book offers insight into the life of the most famous
playwright in history, and one of the most elusive figures in
literature. The book consists of sketches of Shakespeare's contact
and relationships with the people known to have been close friends
or acquaintances, revealing aspects of the poet's life by
emphasizing ways in which his life was intertwined with theirs.
Though it is difficult to get to know this most famous of
playwrights, through this work readers can gain insight into
aspects of his life and personality that may otherwise have been
hidden. Shakespeare, more than any other writer in the western
world, based much of his work on the consequences of friendship.
Given the value placed on friends in his writing, many readers have
wondered about the role friendship played in his own life. This
work gives readers the chance to learn more about Shakespeare's
friends, who they were and what they can tell us about Shakespeare
and his times. For instance, Richard Field was a boyhood friend
with whom Shakespeare went to school in Stratford. Field became a
well-known London printer. The details of Field's life illuminate
both the details of Shakespeare's boyhood education and the poet's
relationship with the printing, publishing, and book-selling world
in London. Francis Collins, a lawyer who represented Shakespeare in
a number of legal dealings, drafted both versions of Shakespeare's
will. This life-long friend was one of the last men eve to see
Shakespeare pick up a pen to write. Through these vivid and
animated sketches, readers will come to know about Shakespeare's
life and times. While the book has a lively, accessible narrative
tone within chapters, its organization and features make it highly
useful to the school library market as well as the academic world.
It contains cross references, a detailed Table of Contents and a
highly organized structure with uniformity across sections and
chapters. The writing is accessible and could be easily used by
upper-level high school students looking to augment school
assignments.

Apple has taken iPhoto 08 to a whole new level. Now, in addition to
handling upwards of 250,000 images, the program lets you easily
categorize and navigate through those photos with a feature called
"Events." Plus, new editing tools let you copy and paste
adjustments between photos. Books and calendars have been improved,
too, as has the program's ability to publish pictures on the Web.
Apple makes it all sound easy: drag this, click that, and you're
done. But you can still get lost, especially if you're a newcomer.
iPhoto '08: The Missing Manual explains how to take advantage of
all these powerful tools and new features without confusion or
frustration. Bestselling authors David Pogue and Derrick Story give
you a witty, objective, and clear-cut explanation of how things
work, with plenty of undocumented tips and tricks for mastering the
new iPhoto. Four sections help you import, organize, edit, share,
and even take your photos: Digital Photography: The Missing Manual
offers a course in picture-taking and digital cameras -- how to buy
and use your digital camera, how to compose brilliant photos in
various situations (sports, portraits, nighttime shots, even kid
photography), and how to get the most out of batteries and memory
cards. iPhoto Basics covers the fundamentals of getting your photos
into iPhoto, organizing and filing them, searching and editing
them. Meet Your Public teaches you all about slideshows, making or
ordering prints, creating books, calendars and greeting cards, and
sharing photos on web sites or by email. iPhoto Stunts explains how
to turn photos into screen savers or desktop pictures, using
plug-ins, managing Photo Libraries, and even getting photos to and
fromcamera phones and Palm organizers. You also learn how to build
a personal web site built with iWeb, and much more in this
comprehensive guide. It's the top-selling iPhoto book for good
reason.
Our Missing Manual is hands-down the bestselling book on iPhoto.
And now, updated to cover Apple's newest release, "iPhoto 5: The
Missing Manual" comes fully loaded--and in full color--so you can
exercise all the power, flexibility, and creativity of the stunning
new iPhoto 5.
Some of iPhoto 5's fifty new features are tiny nips and tucks,
such as menu rewordings, quiet refinements, and secret keystrokes
that take most people days to stumble through. Others are
big-ticket overhauls aimed at both power users (RAW-file import and
editing, color correction sliders, real-time histogram) and
everyday shutterbugs (nested file folders, individual-photo control
in slideshows, and a completely rewritten book-layout kit).
Additional improvements include a robust search feature (similar to
that of iTunes) and the addition of "objects" for slideshow and
book projects (using objects, you can manipulate images without
affecting pictures in your master library).
"iPhoto 5: The Missing Manual" covers them all with the
scrupulous objectivity, clever wit, and technical wisdom you count
on from David Pogue along with the Mac and digital photography
expertise of Derrick Story.
Their authoritative guide starts out with a crash course on
digital photography, complete with tutorials on buying a digital
camera, composing brilliant photos in various situations (including
sports photography, portraits, nighttime photography--even kid
photography!) and making digital movies. "iPhoto 5: The Missing
Manual" then launches into every detail of iPhoto, from
camera-meets-Mac basics to storing, searching, and editing; from
sharing your digital photography with the world (via customized
slideshows--completewith iTunes soundtrack, if you like--prints,
photo books, email, the Web, and even your network) to exporting to
QuickTime and iDVD. And don't forget iPhoto "stunts," such as
building custom screen savers and desktop backdrops; exporting
pictures; making the most of plug-ins, add-ons, and beef-ups; using
AppleScript; and managing files with backups, CDs, and photo
libraries.
"iPhoto 5: The Missing Manual" gives you everything you need to
become the digital photographer extraordinaire you want to be.
