(Amadeus). Conducting an orchestra is something that is seen as well as heard, but it is quite misunderstood when it comes to knowing what this person actually does for a living. This most mysterious of jobs is brought to life for the music lover as well as for the aspiring maestro in a book by Leonard Slatkin. Drawing on his own experiences on and off the podium, Slatkin brings us into the world of the baton. He tells tales of some of the most fascinating people in the musical world, including Frank Sinatra, Leonard Bernstein, and John Williams. He takes the reader to the great concert halls and orchestras, soundstages in Hollywood, and opera pits around the globe. Mr. Slatkin recounts his controversial appearance at the Metropolitan Opera, his creation and direction of summer music festivals, and a shattering concert experience that took place four days following 9/11. Life in the recording studio and on the road as well as health issues confronting the conductor provide an insider's glimpse into the private world of public figures. Covering everything from learning how to read music to standing in front of an orchestra for the first time, what to wear, and how to deal with the press, Conducting Business is a unique look at a unique profession.

Every Thursday, Gerald Gladwell visits Professor Anson Spice's tobacco shop. Gerald gives the professor an envelope from his employer, Mr. McGulliver, and Spice gives Gerald a small velvet pouch of tobacco. In almost two years of completing this weekly errand, Gerald has never questioned the contents of either the envelope or the pouch. But one particular Thursday, a question from a friend piques Gerald's curiosity: 'When have you ever seen Mr. McGulliver smoke a pipe?' This seemingly innocent question convinces Gerald that there may be more to his timid employer than he had previously suspected. When he discovers his missing sister's diary in Mr. McGulliver's office, he is unwittingly drawn into a world of adventure, mystery, and magic. If Gerald ever wants to see his sister again, he'll have to face ugly truths about those he trusts most. In a twisting, extraordinary series of trials that tests his loyalties and limits, Gerald learns that he'll need all the help he can get to deal with the consequences of Conducting Business with Professor Spice.
