Set in and around a Macedonian refugee camp during the 1999 Kosovo crisis, Sarah May's brilliantly satirical third novel spans seventy-eight tense days from the commencement of NATO airstrikes on Yugoslavia to the withdrawal of Serb forces from northern Kosovo. As the spotlight of the world's media is turned on a small, landlocked country struggling to turn itself into a capitalist state, an extraordinary cast of aid workers, journalists and diplomats finds itself becoming inextricably involved with refugees,arms smugglers, Macedonian advertising executives and an Albanian mayor in ways none of them expected. The weeks pass, temperatures soar and,gradually, the Internationals jettison more and more of the certainties they came with, until the only certainty they're left with is that no form of contraception exists against corruption - least of all purity of motive.

A great and lasting favorite in the vast symphonic literature, Antonin Dvorak's "New World" Symphony is among the composer's most enduring and appealing works, exceptionally popular worldwide ever since its premiere in 1893. The work rose out of the composer's three-year stay in the United States, blending echoes of American Indian impressions with music that reflects Dvorak's Bohemian home- land. Folksy, evocative, spontaneous, endlessly melodic, and rhythmically alive and inventive, his Symphony No. 9 is the composer at his very best and most char-teristic. This work appears in full score with original instrumentation, bar-numbered move-ments, and ample margins at the bottom of each score page for notes and analy-sis. Ideal for study in the classroom, at home, or in the concert hall, this affordable,high-quality, convenient-sized volume will be the edition of choice for music stu-dents and music lovers alike.
