  It’s October 1977, and the Rolling Stones are in a Paris recording studio. They’re under siege. Keith Richards’s legal troubles after his arrest for heroin possession threaten the band’s future, and the broad consensus among rock aficionados is that the band will never again reach the heights of Exile on Main Street.But Mick Jagger is writing lyrics inspired by the year he has just spent in New York City, where he was hanging out with the punks at CBGB and with the glitterati at Studio 54. And new bandmember Ron Wood is helping Richards recapture the two-guitar groove that the band had been missing since the Brian Jones era. The result? Some Girls, the band’s response both to punk rock and to disco, an album that crackles with all the energy, decadence, and violence of New York in the 1970s. Weaving together the history of the band and the city, Cyrus R. K. Patell traces the genesis and legacy of the album that Jagger would later call the band’s best since Let It Bleed.

  Descending Thirds is an epic tale of love, ambition, and betrayal set against the lush world of classical music in 1965 New York—a searing triangular love affair that unfolds like a symphony of passion and suspense, culminating in two intriguing twists. 
  At the world’s most prestigious piano competition, three lives collide: Alexandra von Triessen, a gifted but emotionally guarded pianist, is torn between two extraordinary brothers: Sebastian D’Antonio, the devastatingly handsome showman who lights up every room he enters, and Conrad D’Antonio, the mysterious other-worldly genius whose music seems to rise from another realm. 
  What begins as artistic rivalry transforms into a spellbinding triangle of desire, ambition, and betrayal. Each encounter, each performance, builds like a crescendo toward heartbreak, redemption, and the haunting question: How much would you sacrifice for love… and for greatness? 
  Musical score snippets and original compositions woven throughout the narration give this story an elevated, cinematic dimension—allowing listeners to hear the emotions thrumming beneath every glance and confession. The result is a sensual, transcendent experience that merges romance and art into one unforgettable performance. 
  Inspired by Conn’s own mother—a pianist battling End Stage Parkinson’s who continues to play despite her failing hands—Descending Thirds resonates on a profoundly human level. It’s a story of love tested by ambition, of devotion to both people and art, and of beauty’s inevitable cost. 
  For listeners who crave intense, character-driven romance, sweeping emotion, and a touch of musical magic—Descending Thirds is a page-turner that delivers a concerto of heartache and passion you’ll feel long after the final note fades.

  Russian countryside is some of the world's most lovely, from the celebrated explosions of wild flowers that fill its forests in the spring, to the icy winter tundra that defeated the advances of Napoleon and Hitler, and provided the backdrop for the drama of many of Russian literature's celebrated scenes. And no one immortalized it better than Ivan Shishkin (1832-1898), a Russian landscape painter. In this comprehensive work of scholarship, Irina Shuvalova and Victoria Charles make a thorough examination of Shishkin's work.

  Chanted Torah The: Bereshit

  This audiobook will never get old.
   
  Over the centuries and across the world, Jewish communities have formed their own melodies, styles, and traditions in their recitations of the Torah. Even today, a reading in Cleveland will be different than one in London, or Toronto, Buenos Aires, Lviv, or Tel Aviv. Many of these traditions have no doubt been lost to displacement and time. Prior to the 20th century, we didn’t possess the ability to capture these traditions other than in written facsimile. But now, in 2023, we hardly have any excuses.
   
  And although the text is set in stone, the way we interact with it is ever changing and unique to our individual experiences.
   
  Therefore, I’ve produced this book with two specific goals in mind. First, to be as accessible to as many audiences as possible. Not only in distribution, but also in its usefulness in as many different settings as possible. I’ve taken every effort to ensure that this aural Torah is spoken with accurate pronunciations, emphasis, and trope. My hope is for this to be useful for cantors and rabbis, teachers and b’nai mitzvahs, congregations, meditations, Jews and non-Jews.
   
  Second, to capture the sound of the American Jewish diaspora. As an American Conservative Jew, I want this to be authentic, something you would expect to hear in any conservative, reform, or reconstructionist synagogue in the US on a Saturday morning. While I believe our Jewish heritage will continue to flourish and grow for many years, a project like this will be one way to preserve our own traditions, l'dor va dor.
   
  TheChantedTorah is a project in collaboration with the Cantors Assembly.
