Pioneers of classical guitar Francisco Tárrega and Dionisio Aguado are credited with some of the most important musical contributions of the 19th century. Tárrega's music is strongly influential in the twentieth century. Even non-musicians recognize Recuerdos de la Alhambra as one of the most beautiful pieces ever played on the guitar. In Escuela de Guitarra, a guitar tutorial published in 1825, Dionisio Aguado described for the first time the guitar technique used today, including use of fingernails, sitting position, and hand and fingers motions.The 16 compositions in this book include Tarrega's Gran Vals, listed first on TakeLessons 5 Classical Guitar Pieces Everyone Should Know, as well as his beautiful Lagrima ("Tear Drop"). All of the pieces have been transcribed for playing on four strings, with variations needed to maintain balance and expression when notes on the two bass strings are removed. The change to four strings make the arrangements much more accessible for guitarists, some pieces easily played by inexperienced guitarists. It also makes playing these classic examples of guitar repertoire possible on a wide range of four-string instruments, including baritone ukulele, smaller ukuleles with low G tuning, and banjo.Audio of each composition are included online, including both individual tracks and an ISO image for creating an audio CD.

In this contemplative yet explosive novel, Chuck Rainer is an experienced Marine serving in Iraq. He questions why the U.S. invaded, because to him, things just don't add up. It is too much to accept all the young soldiers around him being killed, without seeing a good reason for war. After his discharge, he runs for Congress to get answers. What he discovers will astonish you! "This book is definitely worth the read. You would have to keep in mind of course that it's fiction. It can give you so many aspects of what potentially could have gone on, not to mention the action and thrills that are in the book." - Tyler Jones, U.S. Army "This book will give readers a prospective of one of the many possibilities that could have gone on with regard to the Iraq war, but if nothing else, the action and the mystery make it a good read. It would definitely give the public something to think about and the reason to get involved civilly in our democracy. - Michael Walsh, U.S. Navy "As a soldier who served several tours in Iraq, I found Rainer's War to be very refreshing and well worth the read. I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to explore the potentials of how a war can start, and how and why young men and women are asked to risk their lives." -

Rainer's War

This taut action thriller exposes the military industrial complex's political agenda to push the U.S. into war ... World War III. Rainer II: No Loose Ends is the stunning sequel to Rainer's War, in which Chuck Rainer, a battle-hardened Marine serving in Iraq, had a lot of hard-hitting questions about the war. The courageous Rainer is now national security adviser, and is leading the charge to get to the bottom of a new conspiracy, in which once again America is being forced into a conflict that could lead to the next world war. Rainer tracks down the conspirators, only to discover there's a much bigger picture involved than anyone could have imagined. "Both of author Gary Sullivan's Rainer novels were very liberating for me. Positioning a woman to be one of the main characters showing her leadership, intelligence, and courage reinforces the qualities that are present in today's women." - Maureen Marfione, comptroller, Massachusetts AFL-CIO "I had the pleasure of teaching and coaching Gary Sullivan, author extraordinaire. As a student athlete, Gary had unlimited potential and achieved greatness through gritty determination. His books reflect this talent and potential as he has written two action-packed and informative stories. Do yourself a favor, strap on your seat belt, and read his works. Well done, Gary." - Steve Fratalia, former history teacher and ice hockey coach, Catholic Memorial HS

Every major industry except construction uses logistics to improve its bottom line... Poor logistics is costing the construction industry at least £3 billion a year according to a report – ‘Improving Construction Logistics’ – published by the Strategic Forum for Construction. Additional costs arise as a result of operatives waiting for materials, and skilled craftsmen being used for unskilled jobs. Inadequate management of logistics also has an adverse effect on quality, causes delays to projects, and adds to the health and safety risks on site. This practical book highlights the benefits of good logistics as well as the use of consolidation centres on projects. It shows how reduction in transport movements, less money tied up in stock, less waste, and the more efficient use of skilled craftsmen will reduce the cost of projects, reduce construction time, improve quality, reduce risks to health and safety, improve environmental performance and generally improve the image of the industry. The authors offer practical ways of achieving these benefits through integrated project teams and supply chains and the increased adoption of information technology including electronic communications, bar coding, and electronic tagging for tracing products. They also show how specific roles for each part of the industry can help to improve logistics. • Practical, clear and accessible • First book to address logistics in construction • Written by the industry-recognized logistics experts • Tackles issues of key concern: efficient use of labour; sustainability; waste and supply chain management
