"To me, music that breaks your heart is the music that stays with you
forever. It's one thing to be melancholy and one thing to be sophisticated,
but when you get the two of them together in a way people can relate to,
then I think you're on to something. You want the sophistication to lie in
the purity of the sound, the beauty of the arrangements, and the quality of
the performances."-Trumpeter Chris Botti

To piggyback on Cindy's question I call your attention to a book i have
asked the authors to provide for our Bookshare library:
New Book: Environmental Description for Visually and Dual Sensory Impaired
People
Environmental Description for Visually and Dual Sensory Impaired
People--Lahtinen, Riitta; Palmer, Russ; Lahtinen, Merja. A1 Management UK.
(2010) Environmental description enables sensory impaired people to
perceive spontaneous qualitative information in real time, through
everyday life experiences. This book presents different techniques to
provide environmental description of experiences ranging from life
activities to artistic interpretations. It focuses on both the describer’s
and receiver’s perspectives and gives practical examples and exercises for
professionals who work with visually and dual sensory impaired people. It
includes ideas for getting started, practical tips for various categories
of descriptions, and examples that illustrate describing the environment
in real-life situations for different individuals. The book is intended
for a wide range of visually and dual sensory impaired people of various
ages, as well as their family members and friends and prov
ides a basic educational study book for professionals wishing to
supplement their knowledge of how to apply different techniques including
audio description for museums and art exhibitions. Available from the Ear
Foundation in the UK (www.earfoundation.org.uk/shop).

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] question re descriptions of photos in books
It's way late in my proofreading career to be asking this question (Have
you heard the expression "Too soon old, too late smart?"
I'd like to know from member-readers how much, if at all, descriptions of
photos in books, especially of people and the surrounding setting add
to or detract from your pleasure in reading the book. Are they desirable
or unnecessary? Do you like having the description, or is the mere word
photo sufficient?
