"Read about Igor Sikorsky's life, and how he built the first successful helicopter"--Provided by publisher.
Study of Stravinsky's personal musical language and methods, life and works.
The Adventures of Igor in the Purple Pork Animal Farm of Swimdom Island is a book to read in only one night to discover the animals talking like humans after a nuclear accident.

A strange world that will change forever for the weird and predator instinct of the old Igor. Whether this world is better or not, the reader will decide.
