Synopsis City Pack Hong Kong by : Sean Sheehan

"Originally published in 1810, The Forest Minstrel represents the first full collection of songs by James Hogg, with a number of additional items by other writers associated with him. The Hogg songs contained include some of his first compositions as a shepherd in Ettrick, while others originate from early contact with the literary and musical culture of Edinburgh. This edition for the first time supplies musical settings for the majority of songs, whereas in the 1810 volume tunes are only nominated by title. These settings are based on extensive research in relevant pre-1811 Scottish music books. As a result, the modern reader is given access to the tunes which originally formed an integral part of the songs. An Introduction describes Hogg's development as a song-writer and the musical context in 1810; while full annotation is provided on both the texts of the songs and the related tunes."--BOOK JACKET.

Synopsis Citypack Amsterdam by : Teresa Fisher

"In the shadow of the world's highest mountain live the Sherpas of Nepal. The Lawudo Lama reveals details of Sherpa life through the stories of two great lamas: Kunzang Yeshe (1865-1946), a revered lay yogi of the Nyingma tradition, and his reincarnation, Thubten Zopa Rinpoche, a monk of the Gelug lineage and the head of a Buddhist organization with more than one hundred affiliate centers worldwide. Lama Zopa's first-person account of his life provides an intriguing window into the dramatic changes modernity has brought to the Everest region. Taken together, the stories in The Lawudo Lama offer an unprecedented glimpse into a century of tradition and change in the Himalayan world."--BOOK JACKET.

Synopsis Citypack Venice by : Tim Jepson

"As provisional governor of Missouri during the Civil War, Hamilton Gamble (1798-1864) worked closely with the Lincoln administration to keep the state from seceding from the Union. Without Gamble and other loyal Unionist governors, the war in the West might have been lost. Dennis Boman's full-scale account of Gamble's life tells the little-known story of a prominent frontier lawyer who became chief justice of the Missouri Supreme Court and boldly dissented in the infamous Dred Scott decision. Revealing how Gamble, one of the wealthiest and most renowned citizens of pre-Civil War Missouri, fought to end slavery and to protect the integrity of the Union, Lincoln's Resolute Unionist corrects prevailing notions about solidarity among the South's antebellum elite on these issues." "The slaveholding border state of Missouri figured greatly in the sectional crisis from the time of its controversial admission to the Union up through the war itself, when it was the site of internecine battles between Unionists and Confederates. The complexities of the period and of the political alliances formed then emerge clearly in Boman's biography of Gamble. A fundamental conservatism - Gamble believed judges should interpret, not make, law - led the southern slave owner to dissent from his colleagues' proslavery decision in Scott v. Emerson. These same principles, along with Gamble's Whig affiliation and Christian convictions, made firm his antisecessionist stance despite his proslavery predilections." "Boman provides a groundbreaking analysis of Lincoln's involvement in Missouri's affairs, including his assistance to Gamble in maintaining security and passing a state ordinance for gradual emancipation. Lincoln's Resolute Unionist brings to light in a compelling fashion the meaning - and the drama - of the life of a key figure at a critical time in American history."--BOOK JACKET.
