Scriabin's Piano Concerto in F-Sharp Minor, Op. 20, and Rubinstein's Piano Concerto No.4 in D Minor, by Alexander Scriabin, ISBN 0486424383
This handsome compilation features a pair of great works from two distinguished Russian composers. Alexander Scriabin wrote his Piano Concerto in F-sharp Minor during the first significant phase of his artistic career, during which he focused on creating piano works in the modes of Chopin and Liszt. He ventured beyond his Romantic models to fashion pieces with a fresh delicacy, clarity, and richness, as well as a uniquely expressive range that ran from subtlety to vivid "sensations" (the composer's favorite term). Anton Rubinstein spent a lifetime touring, thrilling audiences with a pianistic virtuosity reputed to rival that of Liszt. A prolific composer (his oeuvre includes 17 operas), Rubinstein naturally wrote a vast quantity of piano music, including this magnificent concerto. Pianists as well as any admirer of these composers will delight in this convenient, authoritative edition of two excellent piano concertos. Unabridged republication of Scriabin's Piano Concerto, Op. 20, originally...

Crafting Law on the Supreme Court: The Collegial Game by Forrest Maltzman, ISBN 0521783941
In Crafting Law on the Supreme Court, Maltzman, Spriggs, and Wahlbeck use material gleaned from internal memos circulated among justices on the U.S. Supreme Court to systematically account for the building of majority opinions. The authors argue that at the heart of this process are justices whose decisions are constrained by the choices made by the other justices. The portrait of the Supreme Court that emerges stands in sharp contrast to the conventional portrait where justices act solely on the basis of the law or their personal policy preferences. This book provides a fascinating glimpse of how the Court crafts the law.

The Sisters Mallone by Louisa Ermelino, ISBN 0758204337
Growing up Italian and female among the Irish of Hell's Kitchen in the 1930s isn't for shrinking violets. Fortunately, the Mallone sisters--that's Mal-Ion-e, pronounced the Italian way--are shrewd, tough, and sharp-tongued, quick with a Lucky Strike and a good time. While their grandmother Anona insists the whole family is cursed with the evil eye. Helen, Mary, and Gracie prefer to make their own luck with everyone from mobsters to the cops on the beat. But while tough-talking Helen and flirtatious Mary have what it takes to keep the creeps away, their sweet baby sister has it bad for the notorious Frankie--a guy who never met a skirt he couldn't chase or a woman he couldn't make miserable. They're not about to let Gracie ruin her life for a wrong number like Frankie. Sisters have to stick together, no matter what. Now, in downtown Manhattan's darkened nightclub booths, where cigarette girls trade looks with small-time hoods, the sisters Mallone are hatching a wickedly devious plan, one...

The High King by Lloyd Alexander, ISBN 0805061355
Since The Book of Three was first published in 1964, young readers have been enthralled by the adventures of Taran the Assistant Pig-Keeper and his quest to become a hero. Taran is joined by an engaging cast of characters that includes Eilonwy, the strong-willed and sharp-tongued princess; Fflewddur Fflam, the hyperbole-prone bard; the ever-faithful Gurgi; and the curmudgeonly Doli -- all of whom become involved in an epic struggle between good and evil that shapes the fate of the legendary land of Prydain.
Released over a period of five years, Lloyd Alexander's beautifully written tales not ony captured children's imaginations but also garnered the highest critical praise. The Black Cauldron as a Newbery Honor Book, and the final volume of the chronicles, The High King, crowned the series by winning the Newbery Medal for "the most distinguished contribution to American literature for children."
Henry Holt is proud to present this classic series to a new generation of young readers...
