If you love music and have played an instrument for any length of time, chances are that you’ve thought about playing in a band. Life in a band can be a great adventure, but it’s not always obvious how to get from playing by yourself to rocking out with a group. Luckily, we’re here to help.
Being in a band isn’t all show time and success—there’s a lot of hard work involved before you’re ever ready to step on a stage, but we’ll give you step-by-step advice on everything from forming a band and practicing to songwriting and gear maintenance. Every band’s journey is unique, but there are fundamental things you can do to help move toward your dream. Each chapter draws on the author’s experience from seven years of band life with six completely different groups, so you get the knowledge of professional musicians without the same bumps and bruises they got along the way.

Ode an die Schönheit des langsamen Reisens
Sein Großvater war Weichensteller, sein Onkel Fahrdienstleiter und sein Cousin Lokführer. Klar, dass Jaroslav Rudi so oft wie möglich Zug fährt. In seinem Buch begibt er sich im Takt der Schienen durch Europa: von Berlin aus bis zum Gotthardtunnel und von Sizilien bis nach Lappland; im Nachtzug durch Polen und die Ukraine sowie im Speisewagen von Hamburg nach Prag.
Leidenschaftlich berichtet er davon, wie er vor seinem Waggonfenster zwischen Felsen und Bäumen zum ersten Mal die Adria erblickt. Wie er mit der Schmalspurbahn die Wälder im Harz erkundet. Und wie er in vierzig Stunden auf so vielen Verbindungen wie möglich durch ganz Deutschland fährt.
Rudi widmet sich dabei den schönsten Bahnhöfen, den Kathedralen des Verkehrs. Erklärt, was Krokodile und Brigitte Bardot mit Lokomotiven zu tun haben. Und verwebt die Historie der Eisenbahn mit den Geschichten der Menschen, denen er begegnet.
Er verrät, warum die schnellste Strecke selten die schönste ist und weshalb der Eisenbahngott ganz sicher eine Göttin sein muss. Er erzählt von der Freude darüber, den Anschluss zu verpassen, von 'singenden' Lokomotiven und Haltestellen, die 'Güterglück' und 'Herzberg' heißen. Und verführt uns mit seinen brillanten und mitreißenden Erzählungen, wieder öfter und achtsamer Zug zu fahren.
Steigen Sie ein, und lassen Sie sich von dieser literarischen Reise durch Europa tragen!

In 1977, NASA launched the space probes Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 to explore Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. This book tells of what was known about those planets and their moons before the Voyager missions, as well as what Voyager discovered about those planets and their moons. This book is written for the middle-grade reader, and can be enjoyed by readers age 12 and up.
Booklist
Verba's account is crammed with information about the moons, rings, atmospheres, temperatures, and orbits of these planets . . . the large quantity of information makes this a worthwhile resource. . . .
Science Press
Joan Marie Verba has written a wonderful tale of the craft that have gone where no one has gone before. . . . Geared toward the intermediate student, the books is well written . . . and brimful of information.
Science Books and Films
NASA launched Voyager 1 and 2 in 1977. These flights of exploration greatly expanded our knowledge of the outer planets of the solar system. Verba gives a concise but fairly thorough description of the Voyager project from conception through the completion of the probes' photographic mission. Voyager begins with a brief discussion of the exploration of the solar system prior to the project. . . . Each of the chapters on the outer planets begins by describing what was known before Voyager, followed by what new things we learned as a result of Voyager. . . . The material is appropriate for interested 5th and 6th graders, but the vocabulary level is more at the 7th- and 8th-grade level ... this is a good account of the flights of Voyager 1 and 2 and what we learned from them.
