History is, in its way, a fiction.

While it is made up of facts, things that are verifiable or at least reliably accepted as being what really happened, our understanding of history rests on a certain assumption that doesn't always hold up - that what we are reading or hearing is The Truth. It's how we learn about history when we're kids - that this happened and that happened, and that's all we really need to know For People A People's History of the United States .

The problem, however, is that what we got in our history books wasn't the entire story. Oh, it was true, for a given value of "true," but the historian who wrote the book did so with a specific narrative in mind, one that fit his or her perception of the past and which - more importantly - would sell textbooks to hundreds of schools across the country. The history that we get from those books is designed to appeal to the sensibilities of a populace that is already inclined to think well of its nation, and rarely deviates from the theme. While they do try to note the excesses, injustices and impropriety of the past, they tend to bury it in the glorious achievements of governments and industry For People A People's History of the United States .

Unfortunately, doing so means that there's a lot of history that gets left on the cutting room floor. Incidents, people, whole populations get brushed aside because either there's not enough room for them or because telling their story in detail ruins the mood that the historian is trying to set - usually one of bright optimism for a good and just nation.

There is nothing inherently wrong with this approach, either. An historian cannot practically include all of the historical viewpoints, good and bad, into a book meant to be used for only 180 days out of the year.Read more

Most of the foreign audiences relate Italian Female Pop to reigning diva Laura Pausini.
Giorgia, on the other side, is considered in Italy at the same level...maybe less easy in terms of pop access, but definitely more soulful and masterful when it comes to vocal matters.
So far she has not enjoyed a planetary success as Laura's although they started out roughly at the same time, but she is on the right way.
This collection pulls together most of her hits.
E POI is Giorgia's signature song along with a string of other friendly-radio hits, from the country-tinged sound of GIRASOLE and TRADIREFARE to the soul-influenced E C'E' ANCORA MARE.
Ballads are Giorgia's forte: DIMMI DOVE SEI, STRANO IL MIO DESTINO e DI SOLE E D'AZZURRO will blow you away.
There are some notable missing tunes, the splendid duet with Andrea Bocelli (which fortunately found a home on the guy's own greatest hits package...so maybe some of you may have already had the privilege to hear her voice), the moving 1995 ballad RIGUARDA NOI and the bouncy, summertime 1997 anthem IN VACANZA CON ME. And many more...
For the rest, you will encounter a velvety voice that many times has been compared to Whitney Houston's by most critics.
Apparently, if not by foreign audiences, Giorgia is loved by people in the industry abroad.
She duetted with Bryan Adams, Boyzone's former vocalist Ronan Keating (great duet on WE'VE GOT TONITE remake), featured in live appearances (can't get out of my head her rendition along with Michael MacDonald of ON MY OWN when he supported Cher's 1999 BELIEVE tour here in Milan).
Diane Warren wrote the music to Giorgia's lyrics on PARLAMI D'AMORE, and living legend Herbie Hancock played piano on such a dark track as IL MARE SCONOSCIUTO.

Review

Principles of Building Business Credit is not only an easy read, but it should be required reading for every entrepreneur. It is by far the best book on building credit I've found and I recommend it to anyone who wants to grow their business. --D. Harris-Jeffries, Financial Adivsor- Merrill Lynch

I searched the internet for months and wasted money on other so-called books on business credit. When I found Principles of Building Business Credit I finally found what I was looking for. I read the book in a day, applied the principles and in less than three months, had a business credit score and was able to lease new PCs for my business. Great book! --A. Expose, CEO- Funk Shuns, LLC
