Now in paperback from superstar Shania Twain, a poignant, heartfelt, and beautifully told account of her hard-scrabble childhood, rise to worldwide fame, and recent personal tragedies. The world may know Shania Twain as many things: a music legend, a mother, and recently, a fixture in the news for her painful, public divorce and subsequent marriage to a cherished friend. But in this extraordinary autobiography, Shania reveals that she is so much more. She is Eilleen Twain, one of five children born into poverty in rural Canada, where her family often didn’t have enough food to send her to school with lunch. She’s the teenage girl who helped her mother and young siblings escape to a battered woman’s shelter to put an end to the domestic violence in her family home. And she’s the courageous twenty-two-year-old who sacrificed to keep her younger siblings together after her parents were tragically killed in a car accident. Shania Twain’s life has evolved from a series of pivotal moments, and in unflinching, heartbreaking prose, Shania spares no details as she takes us through the events that have made her who she is. She recounts her difficult childhood, her parents’ sudden death and its painful aftermath, her dramatic rise to stardom, her devastating betrayal by a trusted friend, and her joyful marriage to the love of her life. From these moments, she offers profound, moving insights into families, personal tragedies, making sense of one’s life, and the process of healing. Shania Twain is a singular, remarkable woman who has faced enormous odds and downfalls, and her extraordinary story will provide wisdom, inspiration, and hope for almost anyone.

Theater music directors must draw on a remarkably broad range of musical skills. Not only do they conduct during rehearsals and performances, but they must also be adept arrangers, choral directors, vocal coaches, and accompanists. Like a record producer, the successful music director must have the flexibility to adjust as needed to a multifaceted job description, one which changes with each production and often with each performer. In Music Direction for the Stage, veteran music director and instructor Joseph Church demystifies the job in a book that offers aspiring and practicing music directors the practical tips and instruction they need in order to mount a successful musical production. Church, one of Broadway's foremost music directors, emerges from the orchestra pit to tell how the music is put into a musical show. He gives particular attention to the music itself, explaining how a music director can best plan the task of learning, analyzing, and teaching each new piece. Based on his years of professional experience, he offers a practical discussion of a music director's methods of analyzing, learning, and practicing a score, thoroughly illustrated by examples from the repertoire. The book also describes how a music director can effectively approach dramatic and choreographic rehearsals, including key tips on cueing music to dialogue and staging, determining incidental music and underscoring, making musical adjustments and revisions in rehearsal, and adjusting style and tempo to performers' needs. A key theme of the book is effective collaboration with other professionals, from the production team to the creative team to the performers themselves, all grounded in Church's real-world experience with professional, amateur, and even student performances. He concludes with a look at music direction as a career, offering invaluable advice on how the enterprising music director can find work and gain standing in the field.

The central ideas behind the books on linguistic brain therapy and the psychology of the brain aim to help psychologists, psychiatrists, therapists, health workers, family members, and clients. They provide knowledge and methods to reduce or eliminate mental disorders, leading to a better life for clients and more secure, satisfied therapists. Therapists and psychologists who achieve good results can continue their treatment confidently, while gaining a scientific understanding of the mental changes in their clients as they improve. Therapists who are less successful can acquire scientifically grounded knowledge to achieve better outcomes. Family members will gain knowledge about mental disorders, enabling them to help their children more effectively. Those suffering from mental disorders can acquire knowledge and techniques that alleviate their condition and create a life with less mental pain. These goals are achievable because the books contain scientific knowledge about mental constructs that anchor and trigger mental distress or well-being. They also provide insights into how to protect against and manage mental pain. The Significance of Research Early in my practice, several clients achieved amazing results that psychology could not explain, leading to an extensive research project. This research, initially met with skepticism, involved analyzing mental processes in clients for 9 years, uncovering how mental disorders are constructed and the mental changes experienced during improvement. A conclusion was that all mental disorders can be cured using words, though it may take time. These findings offered solutions to challenges in psychology and psychiatry for over 150 years. Significant Discoveries I discovered that mental disorders are constructed more simply than previously believed. Mental well-being and disorders are constructed from the same mental or mental-biological material, in the same manner, allowing the same methods to treat various mental disorders and develop mental well-being. I Now Know for Sure I am now certain that knowledge of brain psychology and linguistic therapy can help those with mental distress gain more control over their emotions and problems. Psychologists and health workers can treat clients with greater scientific certainty, achieving faster and better results. The most reliable evidence includes success stories, comments from international scientific journals, and observations from colleagues over many years. After 30 years of research and treating over 1000 clients, I am convinced that linguistic brain therapy not only helps individuals but also enables those who have studied the books to help others.

Michael Feinstein was just 20 years old when he got the chance of a lifetime: a job with his hero, Ira Gershwin. During their six-year partnership, Feinstein blossomed under Gershwin's mentorship and Gershwin was reinvigorated by the younger man's zeal. Now, in The Gershwins and Me, Michael Feinstein shares unforgettable stories and reminiscences from the music that defined American popular song, along with rare Gershwin memorabilia he's collected through the years. Includes an accompanying CD packed with Feinstein's original recordings of 12 Gershwins' songs.
