The official playscript of the original West End production of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child. It was always difficult being Harry Potter and it isn't much easier now that he is an overworked employee of the Ministry of Magic, a husband, and father of three school-age children. While Harry grapples with a past that refuses to stay where it belongs, his youngest son Albus must struggle with the weight of a family legacy he never wanted. As past and present fuse ominously, both father and son learn the uncomfortable truth: sometimes, darkness comes from unexpected places. The playscript for Harry Potter and the Cursed Child was originally released as a 'special rehearsal edition' alongside the opening of Jack Thorne's play in London's West End in summer 2016. Based on an original story by J.K. Rowling, John Tiffany and Jack Thorne, the play opened to rapturous reviews from theatregoers and critics alike, while the official playscript became an immediate global bestseller. This definitive and final playscript updates the 'special rehearsal edition' with the conclusive and final dialogue from the play, which has subtly changed since its rehearsals, as well as a conversation piece between director John Tiffany and writer Jack Thorne, who share stories and insights about reading playscripts. This edition also includes useful background information including the Potter family tree and a timeline of events from the Wizarding World prior to the beginning of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child. |

Next to having a real live teacher, there isn’t an easier, more enjoyable and fun-filled way to learn to play the piano than this new version of one of the most successful adult piano methods ever written. Alfred’s Basic Adult Piano Course is the leading method used by piano teachers all over the world – and yes, it has been translated in many languages. And now you have the opportunity to teach yourself from this very special edition as well. What is truly unique about this 3-volume edition is that every song has an audio track that allows you to hear the song while following the music page. In addition, there is a video of Dr. Gayle Kowalchyk, a university trained piano teacher, not only describing any new elements on the page, but performing the piece as well. You get to see Gayle’s hands as she performs the piece, while the music she is playing is highlighted above her hands. This means you can simultaneously see the music and hear the piece as she plays. And if that is not enough, there is Gayle on an audio recording talking to you as a teacher might, pointing out how to practice the page, what to watch for, what is new, and how to have a successful performance. There is no reason you can’t be playing very easy versions of Beethoven’s Ode to Joy, Aura Lee, the Mexican Hat Dance, Au claire de la lune, Jingle Bells, Merrily We Roll Along, Largo (from the New World), Mary Ann, and ending with the very popular, When the Saints Go Marching In, in a very short time. We begin our course right from the beginning, starting with how to sit at the piano. You’ll soon learn about the keyboard, the names of the notes, and how to read from a music staff. Also included in Volume 1 are how to play the C major, G7th, and F major chords. If you’ve played the piano before but haven’t played for a long while, or if you always wanted to sit down and play but for one reason or another, never had the time, now you have a fool-proof way to get started and see how much fun you’ve been missing. This is how you can get started right now!!! |

One of the attractive parts of this self-teaching course is how smoothly it flows from one volume to the next. There are no gaps in the teaching process, no unnecessary reviews, just a seamless continuation of learning how to play the piano. Having introduced the C major, G7 and F major chords in Volume 1, you will now be able to play many more familiar songs using these three chords in the arrangements. This will make a very big difference in how and what you play. The songs will sound significantly fuller and more musical. New songs include Love Somebody; a cute song with a timely lyric, Money Can’t Buy Ev’rything; Beautiful Brown Eyes; Happy Birthday to You; Standing in the Need of Prayer; The Gift to be Simple; Alouette; Lavender’s Blue; Kum-Ba-Yah; London Bridge; Michael Row the Boat Ashore; and Rock It Away! Also included are many more enjoyable songs that may be less familiar to you but are a lot of fun to play. As far as expanding your musical skills, after playing in the C position in Volume 1, you will now be learning to play in the G and middle C positions. New chords include the G major, D7, and a new version of the C major chord. New music fundamentals and techniques introduced include sharps & flats, block & broken chords, how to use the damper pedal, how to play gradually louder and softer with the crescendo & diminuendo signs, the fermata sign, eighth notes, dotted quarter notes, and very short notes that include the staccato sign. With proper practice and observing Gayle Kowalchyk’s instructions, you will now be playing more smoothly and musically than ever before. What is very important for students of all ages is, however, your hands and fingers will probably become more flexible and stronger as you continue to play, making certain functions in your daily life somewhat easier. And you will be accomplishing all this while having a lot of fun. |

There was once a famous singer who, two-thirds of the way through his performance, would shout out to his audience, “You ain’t heard nothin’ yet.” We think you’ll feel the same way about this volume as you start performing songs of increasing complexity and popularity as you continue to learn and play the piano. Vol. 3 begins with a short section on music theory. Scales are the theoretical foundation of all music and we start by learning how they are formed. Is music theory hard? No, it’s easy and fascinating. From scales, chords are formed – and so on. With this understanding, performing on the piano will become much more meaningful to you. New music includes Joy to the World, Cockles and Mussels, Got Those Blues, On Top of Old Smoky, The Can-Can, The Marines’ Hymn, Why Am I Blue?, Little Brown Jug, O Sole Mio, Jericho, Greensleeves, Scarbrough Fair, He’s Got the Whole World in His Hands, Scott Joplin’s The Entertainer and Amazing Grace. New music fundamentals and techniques introduced are the major scales in the keys of C, G, and F major, minor scales in the keys of A and D minor, the primary chords, triads, chord progressions, natural signs, syncopated notes, eighth rests, accent signs, arpeggiated chords, overlapping pedal, and eighth note triplets. As a special bonus, the end of the book includes music and an audio of Over the Rainbow, At Last, Singin’ in the Rain, Laura, and Have Yourself a Very, Merry Christmas. Volume 3 concludes this version of Alfred’s Self-Teaching Adult Piano Course. |

“Making Reeds Start to Finish” is a series focused on the specialized craft of reed making which has traditionally been passed down from teacher to student in the context of a private lesson. Optimized for the iPad and any Mac (Running OS 10.9 or later), the series offers reed making students from all around, a glimpse into the processes, techniques and tools used by the masters of this craft. We aim to solve some age-old problems like, ‘What do I do when the teacher is not there?’ or ‘How did my teacher say to scrape this part?’ and ‘I really would like to see my teacher do that again and I would watch up close.’ We are privileged to have Dr. Nancy Ambrose King as our first author on the subject of oboe reed making. Dr. King is a celebrated recording artist and international soloist. As a graduate of the University of Michigan and the Eastman School of music, Dr. King is a highly sought-after clinician and a former president of the International Double Reed Society. Dr. King will instruct from “Start to Finish” her entire process of making reeds including some invaluable insight about what tools she uses and recommends and she even provides a list of the major vendors in the United States from which you can buy these essential tools. Inside, you will see numerous hi-resolution photos, of products and techniques she advocates including six galleries that are instructional and informative. Additionally, there are over 15 videos you can watch repeatedly and on demand to learn and to fine tune your reed making skills, multiple interactive images which allow you to dive deep into her processes, hand-drawn diagrams and a 3D interactive oboe reed which will allow you to spin around a computer generated version of her reed full screen to inspect details. She offers great insight into the troubleshooting and fixing of many common reed making problems. Please enjoy the book and expect more to come out in the future from other Master performers and reed makers! Feel free to contact us via Facebook with any questions/comments/concerns/suggestions!

For this series, artist Lawrence Weiner (*1942) has made an artist's book in exactly the same format (A6) and with the same number of pages (24) as his first contribution to documenta 5 in 1972, curated by Harald Szeemann. The partly handwritten instructions, statements, definitions, poems, and pictograms give an insight into his artistic practice and—as eloquently as poetically—transfer his ideas around dOCUMENTA (13) into language. A central figure in Conceptual art from its  beginnings, Weiner works in a wide variety of media including video, books, performance, and installation.   Language: EnglishLawrence Weiner (*1942 in the Bronx, New York) studied literature and philosophy at Hunter College in New York. After an intensive study of the traditional arts of painting and sculpture, he developed his own approach to art, using language, in the late 1960s. His work has been seen in countless solo shows and large, important international exhibitions. Recently, the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York; K21, Düsseldorf; and the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles, produced a retrospective of his work titled AS FAR AS THE EYE CAN SEE (2007/08). Weiner's work has been shown at the documenta 5 (1972), 6 (1977), and 7 (1982), and will also be seen in 2012 at the dOCUMENTA (13) in Kassel. The artist lives in New York and Amsterdam. |

THE INSPIRATION FOR THE MAJOR MOTION PICTURE A COMPLETE UNKNOWN. One of the music world’s pre-eminent critics takes a fresh and much-needed look at the day Dylan “went electric” at the Newport Folk Festival. On the evening of July 25, 1965, Bob Dylan took the stage at Newport Folk Festival, backed by an electric band, and roared into his new rock hit, Like a Rolling Stone. The audience of committed folk purists and political activists who had hailed him as their acoustic prophet reacted with a mix of shock, booing, and scattered cheers. It was the shot heard round the world—Dylan’s declaration of musical independence, the end of the folk revival, and the birth of rock as the voice of a generation—and one of the defining moments in twentieth-century music. In Dylan Goes Electric!, Elijah Wald explores the cultural, political and historical context of this seminal event that embodies the transformative decade that was the sixties. Wald delves deep into the folk revival, the rise of rock, and the tensions between traditional and groundbreaking music to provide new insights into Dylan’s artistic evolution, his special affinity to blues, his complex relationship to the folk establishment and his sometime mentor Pete Seeger, and the ways he reshaped popular music forever. Breaking new ground on a story we think we know, Dylan Goes Electric! is a thoughtful, sharp appraisal of the controversial event at Newport and a nuanced, provocative, analysis of why it matters. “In this tour de force, Elijah Wald complicates the stick-figure myth of generational succession at Newport by doing justice to what he rightly calls Bob Dylan’s ‘declaration of independence’ . . . This is one of the very best accounts I’ve read of musicians fighting for their honor.” — Todd Gitlin, author of The Sixties and Occupy Nation |

A revolutionary new offering from Dr. Jordan B. Peterson, renowned psychologist and author of the global bestseller 12 Rules for Life. In We Who Wrestle with God, Dr. Peterson guides us through the ancient, foundational stories of the Western world. In riveting detail, he analyzes the Biblical accounts of rebellion, sacrifice, suffering, and triumph that stabilize, inspire, and unite us culturally and psychologically. Adam and Eve and the eternal fall of mankind; the resentful and ultimately murderous war of Cain and Abel; the cataclysmic flood of Noah; the spectacular collapse of the Tower of Babel; Abraham’s terrible adventure; and the epic of Moses and the Israelites. What could such stories possibly mean? What force wrote and assembled them over the long centuries? How did they bring our spirits and the world together, and point us in the same direction? It is time for us to understand such things, scientifically and spiritually; to become conscious of the structure of our souls and our societies; and to see ourselves and others as if for the first time. Join Elijah as he discovers the Voice of God in the dictates of his own conscience and Jonah confronting hell itself in the belly of the whale because he failed to listen and act. Set yourself straight in intent, aim, and purpose as you begin to more deeply understand the structure of your society and your soul. Journey with Dr. Peterson through the greatest stories ever told. Dare to wrestle with God. #We Who Wrestle with God #Jordan B. Peterson #the holy word for morning revival |

They will construct a surprising plot that is unique to their particular concept, and they will learn how to express a moral vision that can genuinely move an audience. The foundations of story that Truby lays out are so fundamental they are applicable—and essential—to all writers, from novelists and short-story writers to journalists, memoirists, and writers of narrative non-fiction. |

At the end of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them , the powerful Dark wizard Gellert Grindelwald was captured in New York with the help of Newt Scamander. But, making good on his threat, Grindelwald escapes custody and sets about gathering followers, most unsuspecting of his true agenda: to raise pure-blood wizards up to rule over all non-magical beings. In an effort to thwart Grindelwald's plans, Albus Dumbledore enlists Newt, his former Hogwarts student, who agrees to help once again, unaware of the dangers that lie ahead. Lines are drawn as love and loyalty are tested, even among the truest friends and family, in an increasingly divided wizarding world. This second original screenplay from J.K. Rowling, illustrated with stunning line art from MinaLima, expands on earlier events that helped shaped the Wizarding World, with some surprising nods to the Harry Potter stories that will delight fans of both the books and films. |

A section on practical chess psychology (titled Psychological Meanderings ) presents never-before-published ideas on psychological processes that hinder players of all levels, and gives easy-to-follow advice and techniques that will help anyone overcome these ubiquitous mental/emotional failings. Hundreds of games brought to life by instruction-rich prose, and stories that offer humor while highlighting various lessons, vividly illustrate all the book’s topics in a manner that’s both personal and fun. If the positional masterpieces of the chess legends have always been a mystery to you, if chess strategy has always been an unsolvable enigma, if you find yourself a positional pawn rather than a positional master, then How to Reassess Your Chess, 4th Edition will prove to be a life-changing experience. Jeremy Silman is an International Master and a world-class teacher, writer, and player who has won the American Open, the National Open, and the U.S. Open. Considered by many to be the game’s preeminent instructive writer, he is the author of over thirty-seven books, including Silman’s Complete Endgame Course , The Amateur’s Mind , The Complete Book of Chess Strategy , and The Reassess Your Chess Workbook . His website (www.jeremysilman.com) offers fans of the game instruction, book reviews, theoretical articles, and details of his work in the creation of the chess scene in the movie Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone . |
