In 1854; founders of the South Carolina Methodist Conference established an all-female school in Columbia; South Carolina. Known originally as Columbia Female College; todays Columbia College has suffered and survived hardships; faced challenges; and flourished during its almost 150-year history as an institution of higher learning. The college has succeeded in its mission to provide quality liberal arts education for women and has become one of the leading establishments of its kind in the South. Included within these pages are vintage images of the school throughout the past century and a half. The ever-changing physical attributes of the college--classrooms; administration buildings; ornate gates; and dormitories--as well as the students and faculty who helped shape the college into what it is today are commemorated here in both word and image. From the trials of campus fires and the closing of the school during the Civil War to the triumphs of American artist Georgia OKeeffes tenure and the receipt of honors such as the prestigious Hesbergh award; Columbia College has emerged as a well-respected school for women.

A Must-Have for Bond Fans and Soundtrack CollectorsBy Lee GoldbergThe book is terrific. but I wouldnt expect any less from the author of TVs Biggest Hits: The Story of Television Themes from Dragnet to Friends This book charts the evolution of every Bond score in a lively. breezily-written narrative that is as entertaining as it is informative. Everything you ever wanted to know about the scores. themes. and business behind the Bond music is here. Even if you arent a Bond fan. this book is a revealing look at the business. marketing. and creative influences on how movie scores assigned and produced. Its a must-have reference and historical book for all Bond fans and soundtrack collectors that will have you listening to all the Bond albums again and searching YouTube and iTunes to listen to the many rejected theme songs. I thoroughly enjoyed the book. learned a lot. and hope that Jon will be updating it every few years...though I am still waiting for the sequel/update to TVs Biggest Hits!0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Excellent!By Martin WongAn awesome book. I had never heard of Jon Burlingame. but obviously he is renowned as I saw mention of him on Facebook. This book is very complete. It talks about the movie music of the Bond films up through Skyfall. even including 1967s travesty. Casino Royale. and Never Say Never Again. Besides the main portions of each movie music chapter. Burlingame includes a shaded third of the page reference of a capsule summary of the film and where the album cuts fall into place. with added information. Nice photos for each chapter. The ultimate Bond book for its musical content!7 of 7 people found the following review helpful. The Ultimate Guide to the Music of James BondBy Geoff LeonardIf Id wanted to choose the ideal person to write a book on the music of James Bond. Jon Burlingame would have been top of the list by a long way. And he doesnt disappoint in this fascinating book. every chapter of which contains the real story of the music. exposing the myths and rumours along the way.With reader-friendly score highlights for each film. plus many seldom seen before photos of the men and women behind the music. this is a book I would recommend to anybody with an interest in the history of popular music over the last fifty years. If you also like James Bond or film music in general. your ship has really come in!!
