  For the first time, renown player and educator Richie Beirach puts in print his five decade long experiences as both a student and instructor of jazz.  
  Performer, author, and teacher, Michael Lake, collaborates with Richie to produce this honest no-holds bared examination of how jazz is taught and learned. 
  Discover the 100-year evolution of jazz education, the makings for an effective teacher, the realities of a university education and how best to choose the right school, the mindset and technologies available to elevate musicians in their pursuit of jazz, the psychological process of learning a complex skill like music, and the future these two passionate jazz advocates see for this music. 
  “Richie’s thoughts within this book are as tight as usual. He positions himself in a way that could be construed as argumentative on several subjects but always thought-out and logical (as he is musically as well.)  
  The mentors description with Richie as the centerpiece are historical in their implications considering the learning on the job atmosphere that our generation reveled in.  
  Richie discusses the workings of the present situation in higher learning and future remedies that could be applied. The book is strongly optimistic and will inspire readers to think deeply about the legacy of jazz education.” 
  Dave Liebman

  Led Zeppelin's Led Zeppelin IV

  Erik Davis

  In this wickedly entertaining and thoroughly informed homage to one of rock music's towering pinnacles, Erik Davis investigates the magic—black or otherwise—that surrounds this album. Carefully peeling the layers from each song, Davis reveals their dark and often mystical roots—and leaves the reader to decide whether [FOUR SYMBOLS] is some form of occult induction or just an inspired, brilliantly played rock album.Excerpt:Stripping Led Zeppelin's famous name off the fourth record was an almost petulant attempt to let their Great Work symbolically stand on its own two feet. But the wordless jacket also lent the album charisma. Fans hunted for hidden meanings, or, in failing to find them, sensed a strange reflection of their own mute refusal to communicate with the outside world. This helped to create one of the supreme paradoxes of rock history: an esoteric megahit, a blockbuster arcanum. Stripped of words and numbers, the album no longer referred to anything but itself: a concrete talisman that drew you into its world, into the frame. All the stopgap titles we throw at the thing are lame: Led Zeppelin IV, [Untitled], Runes, Zoso, Four Symbols.  In an almost Lovecraftian sense, the album was nameless, a thing from beyond, charged with manna. And yet this uncanny fetish was about as easy to buy as a jockstrap.

  1990-2000: The Decade That Was...

  “An insightful and elegantly written memoir of a typical ’90s house fan’s evolution from inspired clubber to working DJ. James Bleakman gives us an evocative analysis of his social and cultural journey from bedroom to club.” 
  Frank Broughton & Bill Brewster 
  Authors of Last Night a DJ Saved My Life: The History of the Disc Jockey 
  1990-2000: The Decade That Was House Music is a memoir-led journey through the records, rooms and rituals that shaped one person's relationship with 90s house culture. 
  House music did not begin in the 1990s, but for a generation of British teenagers, bedroom DJs, record buyers and clubbers, the decade was when it became impossible to ignore. Through taped Radio 1 broadcasts, Mixmag, DJ Mag, Muzik, Soundlab belt-drive decks, 1210s, Saturday record-shopping trips, local residencies, superclubs, Ibiza memories, white labels, compilation culture and the rise of the superstar DJ, James Bleakman traces the decade that turned a sound into an identity. 
  This is not a definitive history. It is a personal account of how house music moved from underground culture to global club language while still holding onto the feeling that mattered most: discovery, belonging, identity and the belief that the right record, in the right room, could change everything. 
  Whether you remember the era first hand, wish you'd experienced it, or still believe records can carry whole chapters of a life, this audiobook is a love letter to the decade that gave house music its defining voice. 
  Listeners who want to explore even further can also discover the premium illustrated Collector's Edition Hardback, featuring photographs, flyers, record sleeves and memorabilia that bring the story to life visually. The Collector's Edition takes the story beyond the millennium and explores how house music moved from superclub scale back towards a new underground.

  I hope that you will find the information helpful, useful and profitable. 
  The issues in this ebook concern various aspects of protecting your family and home and related ideas is organised into 15 chapters of about 500-600 words each. 
  I hope that it will interest those who are concerned about their safety.  
  There has always been an unacceptable amount of burglary. It is such a harrowing experience to be burgled. People are forced to accept that they are not safe even in their own homes. 
  In the days of larger families, it was not easy for the burglar. There was always someone at home, and usually several people. Burglars would be detected and easily overpowered. Nowadays, on the other hand, many people live alone, and many of those are elderly baby-boomers. 
  It can induce a permanent state of worry and anxiety. 
  One way around this, is to implement a home security system. They are actually quiet affordable now too. A decent home security system, coupled with friendly neighbours, is an affordable solution. 
  As an added bonus, I am granting you permission to use the content on your own website or in your own blogs and newsletter, although it is better if you rewrite them in your own words first. 
  In fact, the only right that you do not have is to resell or give away the book as it was delivered to you.
