Harrison Kerr (1897-1978) is probably best known for his efforts to foster an understanding of twentieth-century American music, but his achievements as a teacher, administrator, and composer are equally important. Kerr composed nearly one hundred works, but allowed fewer than half to be performed. The works released include an opera, four symphonies, compositions for chorus, chamber works for piano, strings, and winds, and solos for piano, organ, guitar, and several other instruments. The text presents an extensive biography of Kerr and detailed analyses of three representative musical works with explanations. A catalog of Kerr's musical compositions, dates of first performances and names of those performers and publishers is included along with 14 photographs representing Kerr in various stages of his life. Featured in the work are Kerr's remembrances of Boulanger, Edgard VarD'ese, Aaron Copland and others; and events relating to the dilemmas faced by artists in New York City during the late 1920s through the late 1940s. A bibliography, index, 12 tables and 50 musical examples complete the study. ... Read more

Product Description
If you are in information technology and you have the ambition and inborn drive to be among the very best--or if you need to engage an IT consultant and want to know how to recognize the best--this book is for you.In most fields, a consultant is an expert who provides advice and guidance. Implementing the advice is up to the client.In information technology, the term "computer consultant" covers a wider range. Business expertise is frequently an even more critical element of the delivery than technical expertise. Because implementation of the consultant's advice may require highly specialized skills, the consultant may offer to manage a team to perform some or all of the IT work that needs to be done, or may even offer supplemental staff for a client. But at the other end of the spectrum, some people call themselves computer consultants when their work is exclusively technical, such as programming or network design.Exactly what is a consultant in the field of information technology? What's the different between an ordinary computer consultant and one who stands out above the crowd? If you want to be an exemplary, top of the line consultant in the IT field, what do you need to do? This book addresses these questions.Contributors include Jerry Weinberg, who is practically legendary for his keen insight, and Steve Epner, founder of the Independent Computer Consultants Association. Each chapter explores a different aspect of what it takes to be a truly excellent computer consultant and provide the highest levels of value and service for clients. ... Read more

Great book for consultants new and old
If you're already a computer consultant or thinking of getting into the field, this book is definitely for you. It's filled with advice from 12 successful consultants from all kinds of business and technology backgrounds. I wish there were more books out there like this, and I really wish I'd had a book like this when I was starting out.

There are plenty of books that break down starting a consulting business into a series of steps and procedures: 1) Incorporate, 2) Build your Documents, Timesheets, etc., 3) Hire a lawyer/accountant; basically business 101 stuff that would apply to nearly any kind of business.This book builds upon those lessons with the bigger problems we face, finding clients, staying marketable, keeping up with technology, and building a profitable practice, generating predictable cash flow, etc.

Computer consultants almost always come from technical backgrounds; usually as former employees who decide to branch out on their own. Technical by nature, we often get so focused on how cool the technology is that we lose sight of business needs/problems and the people management aspects of our projects. By far the best way to learn these skills is to seek out others who have done it before and ask them how they did it. These 12 authors definitely provide a good start. ... Read more
