(Amadeus). Ayke Agus came to Jascha Heifetz as a violin student in his master class at the University of Southern California; after he made her the class pianist she soon became his private accompanist and ultimately his assistant and confidant. Her book is a loving yet unblinking testimony to a unique relationship between an aging master and his disciple. Always a difficult person; Heifetz imparted not only his art but his every belief and idiosyncrasy. The greatest violinist of the 20th century was a genius who was also insecure and unreasonable; in many respects the former prodigy had never had to grow up. This memoir is an extraordinary story of a truly unique friendship; told with honesty; understanding; and devotion.

This guy is the reason there is a gap between planning academics and actual working plannersBy jscoThe writing is so dense and bad. reading becomes a painful labor intense exercise to get through each chapter. He does not write clearly. concisely or in a direct well organized manner. There is no logic in the format he uses and he desperately needs an editor to help him write. This book is a great example of what is bad about academics and why there is a gap between academics and working planners. His message is lost because the writing is so god awful. I was forced to read this in a class. if not for that I would have thrown the book out after chapter 1 which is a overly lengthy set up for the book. Just bad. I would give it negative stars if I could. it is that bad.
