Saving Childhood: Protecting Our Children from the National Assault on Innocence by Michael Medved, ISBN 0060932244
Saving Childhood offers parents and grandparents practical strategies to cope with a society that seems perversely determined to frighten and corrupt its young. Cultural critic and popular radio host Michael Medved and his wife, psychologist Diane Medved, argue that in a mistaken effort to curb problems plaguing its youth, our culture has changed from protecting childhood as a precious time of growth to hammering even the smallest youngsters with a grim, harsh, and menacing view of the world. The Medveds systematically present unassailable scientific evidence, moving anecdotes, and personal experiences of raising their three young children to explain the attack from four primary directions -- media, schools, peers, and even well-intentioned parents themselves.
In a unique analysis the Medveds define innocence not as ignorance but as the result of three components -- security, a sense of wonder, and optimism. They empower parents and all who care about childhood with concrete, easily accomplished...

Piano Concerto No. 1 in D-Flat Major, Op. 10, in Full Score
"The First Concerto was perhaps my first more or less mature composition as regards both conception and fulfillment," reflected Prokofiev in his Autobiography. After his training as a concert pianist, the composer played this single-movement concerto for his final examination and received the coveted Rubinstein prize. The concerto opens with a grandiose theme that unifies the entire work. Four contrasting sections are fashioned into a three-part sonata design, climaxing in a brilliant solo cadenza. As Prokofiev observed, this early work exhibits all the characteristics of his later achievements, including memorable melodies, propulsive rhythms, and an impish sense of humor.

Beverly Hillbillies Ultimate Collection, Vol. 2
Premiering in 1962, "The Beverly Hillbillies" sprang onto the American landscape like "bubblin' crude," turning into television's number one show faster than any sitcom in history.
