This wonderful book builds a mosaic of stories about fame and failure; love and loss; of public achievement and private concern. An immensely enjoyable read. - Joseph OConnor. Intimacy With Strangers offers a dazzlingly original; thought-provoking approach to celebrity interviewing. Ciaran Carty draws on his career involving many of the worlds leading writers; artists; actors and directors as they explore intimate concerns; ranging from love and rejection to the smallest physical sensations of pleasure and pain; and to the great issues of politics and wars; God and atheism - the big and small of the human condition. Interweaving recent cultural and social history; Carty exposes unexpected affinities shared by his eclectic cast of subjects. Through chains of happenstance and six-degrees-of- separation; Intimacy With Strangers mirrors the cinematic cuts; fades and dissolves of its authors sensibility as a film critic; creating this magical memoir and an idiosyncratic portrait of a kaleidoscopic Ireland in a global setting.

For the Disney music fansBy Kristen La MadridThis book contains 240 Disney from various forms of entertainment; including: 1) animated features/featurettes; 2) live action; 3) television; 4) Disney theme parks; 5) theatrical production. It is likely that this edition was published before "Tangled" "Frozen"; since no songs from those movies are included in this book. There is one index by song title another by show title. Most; if not all; of the songs seem to be written in the original key. Although there are a lot of songs; a lot of them are classics from older shows; therefore; the millenial generation may not appreciate some of these songs. My only disappointment is that there are only 2 songs from The Hunchback of Notre Dame only 3 songs from Pocahontas. Over all; its a good investment for the Disney music fans.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Such FunBy JeremyThis is a great purchase; I love to arrange the songs for my students and myself to play for fun. My students enjoy the songs because they know them; and they also get to learn many chords such as augmented and diminished chords as well as key changes all under the guise of fun Disney songs! The students can also play melodies that they are familiar with and the songs have been meet with success so far.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. WOW!By SamanthaI am in LOVE with this book!I dont play the piano well. No matter how hard I have tried to learn; I just am not gifted in this area. I am a vocalist and give lessons; so this book is very helpful because I can play the melody line and improv a little. My students love the music; too. It was such a great purchase because now I dont have to buy a million books in order to satisfy my students interests. This book has many of the songs that they know and want to work on. Many of the movies have almost all the songs represented in this book. I am very pleased!
