 | It's a Dad's Life by Kevin Murphy
A rapidly aging father, three adorable but growing daughters, and one ladder-climbing executive wife: these are the ingredients of one man's hilarious tales of life in the unexplored world of a stay-at-home dad. The everyday adventures of a one-time newshound are retold as he faces some of life's biggest challenges--fatherhood, parenting, and supermarket carts. It brings to light crucial tests such as being home alone with a chocolate cake, the enormous discipline needed to get up in the morning, and the task of tackling the housework. Whether it's holidays from hell, food fads, or tales of the teenage twilight zone, this book excels at front-line dispatches from the modern battleground of suburban family life. AUTHOR: Kevin Murphy

 | The Oxford Dictionary of Music by Joyce Bourne, Michael Kennedy
For this new edition of The Oxford Dictionary of Music, Michael Kennedy has added over 1,500 entries to the 11,000 already existing, at least four-fifths of which have been revised, some extensively. The dictionary encompasses musical subjects of all kinds: composers (for the majority of whom he gives up-to-date and accurate lists of principal works); musical performers in all fields; orchestras; titles and descriptions of individual works, operas, and ballets; musical forms and terms; instruments; institutions; and writers and scholars. Particular attention has been paid to living composers and to younger musical performers making their names in the concert hall, opera house, or on recordings. The increase in the number of entries on opera producers and designers reflects their growing influence on the public's perception of opera. Compiled for general readers as well as musicians and musicologists, this new edition will be an indispensable addition to the reference shelf of the concert-goer, the opera lover, or anyone involved in music, whether amateur or professional.
