I wanted to like this book - because I liked 'The Uncle's Son' a lot - despite its flaws (of which, are similar to the ones found in this book - inconsistent actions made by unlikeable characters.)

I wanted to like this book - because I liked 'The Uncle's Son' a lot - despite its flaws (of which, are similar to the ones found in this book - inconsistent actions made by unlikeable characters.) I found the main character, David completely self-obsessed, unlikeable and ultimately, not a person who makes strong decisions in keeping with his (underwritten) character. That is a lower percentage than what I found in the two Hal Leonard Paperback Songs books that I own but then I don't have to fiddle with this book because of its size when I place it on the music stand.. If you know Japanese art, then you know Hiroshige. The other Schirmer volume contains the serviceable (though outdated) Mikuli edition of the mazurkas and polonaises and there are a few other available editions (some admittedly better) of the complete mazurkas (e.g., through Alfred or Henle) so if you're in the market for a collection of Chopin's mazurkas and not just looking for a select few (which can be downloaded individually), don't bother with this volume.. For me personally, I could relate to the story well because it brought up memories and emotions from my own marriage breakup and also when my father left when I was a six year old child.

Same exact material without the new

The present edition has been thoroughly revised with a new afterword and archaeological site map.. First published in 1961, this classic work is based largely on the edicts of Asoka, whose policies are analyzed against the background of Mauryan civilization during the third and fourth centuries B.C
