Ren? Blum and the Ballets Russes documents the life of the enigmatic and brilliant writer and producer who resurrected the Ballets Russes after Diaghilev died. Based on a treasure trove of previously undiscovered letters and documents; the book not only tells the poignant story of Blums life; but also illustrates the central role Blum played in the development of dance in the United States. Indeed; Blums efforts to save his ballet company eventually helped to bring many of the worlds greatest dancers and choreographers--among them Fokine; Balanchine; and Nijinska--to American ballet stages.

If you own the T3i. get this book!By Mom of 2 GirlsI havent come close to reading the entire book. but so far it is just fabulous to flip through as I learn about my new T3i. You get technical info as well as tips in a down to earth. super readable format. Great pictures to illustrate the info as well. A must buy if you have the T3i!5 of 5 people found the following review helpful. "Above Dummy Level" !By photoladyEasier to understand than the Eos Rebel T3i manual! This book is LONG.....and I found some of the explanations and instructions WAY above "dummy level"---and I have been using Canon cameras since the early 1980s. I bought it thinking it would GREATLY simplify my experience with my new T3i but it really did not. A lot of it is VERY technical in my opinion and I dont think true novices would grasp a lot of the material easily. Some of my questions went unanswered simply because I felt the information was above "dummy level". once again. I was not totally pleased with my purchase. However. in all truthfulness. there were some VERY HELPFUL and easy to understand things that have been helpful to me. but overall. I think taking a class somewhere for beginners would be best. if you have a community college nearby or could do a class online for beginners.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Canon for DummiesBy RobertThis book is just what I needed to even begin to know how to even open the box. let alone operate this camera. This book tells you all you need to know about something you may have been afraid of purchasing just because you didnt know how to operate the Digital/ SLR Cameras. This is written so well that a third grader could operate just about every camera in your house. and we all know they probably already do. but we cant let them know we just dont get it. Get this book if you are in that limbo of the Digital and SLR world that took over the good old put the roll of film in the camera and shoot. take it to the photo shop and get your pictures. We all have to get beyond that era I guess so that is why I purchased this and now I am the coolest Grandpa around. because I know what I doing (Hopefully) but if not they will come out with another book that will make me look like a pro. Thanks
