Although his popularity is eclipsed by Rembrandt today; Peter Paul Rubens was revered by his contemporaries as the greatest painter of his era; if not of all history. His undeniable artistic genius; bolstered by a modest disposition and a reputation as a man of tact and discretion; made him a favorite among monarchs and political leaders across Europemdash;and gave him the perfect cover for the clandestine activities that shaped the landscape of seventeenth-century politics. In Master of Shadows; Mark Lamster brilliantly recreates the culture; religious conflicts; and political intrigues of Rubensrsquo;s time; following the painter from Antwerp to London; Madrid; Paris; and Rome and providing an insightful exploration of Rubensrsquo;s art as well as the private passions that influenced it.From the Trade Paperback edition.

Almost all studio transcription. chord for chord.By elvisthebeagleHal Leonards songbook series Beatles books have the most accurate guitar books I have ever found. Has to be the "songbook series". Just because it says " Hal Leonard" does not mean it is any good. The Easy Guitar series were for me. the worst translations. The Songbook series seems to be studio transcriptions but they are small books. To make them work "stay open" take the to a Office Max and for a few dollars they will remove the binding and replace with a spiral binding.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Great for Figuring Out What the Words Are!By Mary C. McMurdoI got this so I can sing along with the songs. and to make out the words that I so often miss because I didnt learn them with a British accent. I cant tell you how good the guitar chords are. because I dont play the guitar. but its really nice to have the lyrics at hand.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Kindle fire version flawed!By Neil GubermanBought this for my kindle fire and the display is flawed. The printing is too small and if you try to enlarge it only enlarges the page youre on. Also. some of the lyrics/chords are cropped off the right margin as the full text does not fit on the page. Very unhappy with this purchase.
