Sir Philip Sassoon (18881939), a glamorous and well-known figure in Britain for the first four decades of the twentieth century, was the most eligible bachelor and the greatest host of his time. He attained prominence in the art world, high society, and politics. In contrast, his sister Sybil (18941989) lived a much more private life. Yet she was fascinating in her own right, marrying into the grandest level of the English aristocracy, restoring Houghtonformerly the house of Sir Robert Walpoleto magnificence, and serving in the high command of the Women’s Royal Naval Service during both world wars.In this generously illustrated book, distinguished historian Peter Stansky brings the Sassoons and their period into sharp focus. He also explores what their lives reveal about the nature of English life, particularly at the highest reaches, and its relation to wealth, power, politics, Jewishness, and art.

Matching impedence and wattage between amps and speakers usually gets little attention, but the author gives electricity a thorough discussion here. I have found many problems with the questions and answers that our instructor uses. I sat in my favorite easy chair and carefully opened the manual. If only more courses would permit teaching this way.. My advice is to browse through the table of contents first and read a sample chapter. The lines are fairly easy to play (at least for me) and avoid virtuosic runs that would discourage the aspiring pianist from learning how to play them correctly. Filled with intrigue, adventure and a little romance, The Waxing Moon will leave you reading long into the night. There is a definite place in life for our elders and especially our old ladies. Great authors leave hints about what's to come by making those hints also serve another purpose, so they don't stand out and you never see it coming.
