Viruses and Spam: What You Need to Know, Paul Oldfield, Sophos Plc , 2004, 0953833615, 9780953833610. Print Culture and Music in Sixteenth-Century Venice, Jane A. Bernstein , , . Venice achieved preeminence as a great publishing center and music printing capital of Renaissance Europe. This book presents a broad overview of the Venetian music press during the mid-16th century. It bridges the gap between music and other disciplines by incorporating music printing into the wider world of the publishing industry, demonstrating that the field of music was no different from any other specialty of the book trade. Within this framework, the singular theme of commercial enterprise runs throughout the study. Stressing the commerce of music and its connection to the printing and publishing industry, the book explores various mercantile activities of the trade from the financing and production to the marketing and distribution of music publications. It also considers the impact print culture had on musicians, delving into the complex relationships that occurred between composers, patrons, and bookmen. Focusing on the two dynastic publishing houses of Scotto and Gardano, the book examines the business practices that these firms followed in the acquisition and selling of music. Their marketing strategies not only minimized competition, but also helped define the musical repertory published in. Organic Synthesis, Michaelk Smith , 2009, 0978787706, 9780978787707.

Tropical Zion: General Trujillo, FDR, and the Jews of Sosa, Allen Wells , 2008, 0822392054, 9780822392057. DIVSeven hundred and fifty Jewish refugees fled Nazi Germany and founded the agricultural settlement of Sosa in the Dominican Republic, then ruled by one of Latin Americas most repressive dictators, General Rafael Trujillo. In Tropical Zion, Allen Wells, a distinguished historian and the son of a Sosa settler, tells the compelling story of General Trujillo, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, and those fortunate pioneers who founded a successful employee-owned dairy cooperative on the north shore of the island.Why did a dictator admit these desperate refugees when so few nations would accept those fleeing fascism? Eager to mollify international critics after his army had massacred 15,000 unarmed Haitians, Trujillo sent representatives to vian, France, in July, 1938 for a conference on refugees from Nazism. Proposed by FDR to deflect criticism from his administrations restrictive immigration policies, the vian Conference proved an abject failure. The Dominican Republic was the only nation that agreed to open its doors. Obsessed with stemming the tide of Haitian migration across his nations border, the opportunistic Trujillo sought to whiten the Dominican populace, welcoming Jewish refugees who were themselves subject to racist scorn in Europe.The Roosevelt administration sanctioned the Sosa colony. Since the United States did not accept Jewish refugees in significant numbers, it encouraged Latin America to do so. That prodding, paired with FDRs overriding preoccupation with fighting fascism, strengthened U.S. relations with Latin American dictatorships for decades to come. Meanwhile, as Jewish organizations worked to get Jews out of Europe, discussions about the fate of worldwide Jewry exposed fault lines between Zionists and Non-Zionists. Throughout his discussion of these broad dynamics, Wells weaves vivid narratives about the founding of Sosa, the original settlers and their families, and the life of the unconventional beach-front colony./div Arlene TextaQueen: Naked Landscapes of Gippsland and Beyond, Geraldine Barlow , 2010, 0980645174, 9780980645170.

That Thou Art: The Wisdom of the Upanishads, R. Puligandla , 2002, 089581952X, 9780895819529. Written with extraordinary clarity and elegance, this book is an excellent exposition of the complex philosophy of Advaita. A special feature of the book is that it inspires readers to inquire deeply into their own tradition and undertake the mystical quest. The authors emphasis on "first hand truth" is indeed heartening, for as he says quite rightly, "ultimate questions are too important to be left for others to determine the answers." Professor Pugliganda approaches Vedanta as a free and independent thinker with a desire to modernize its format and shows the key to search and reach the highest form of living truth by tracing the single theme of non-dualism.
