                From the supplier: An employer that knowingly accepted payments, for a Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act health insurance plan, from an ineligible former employee has been found liable for that employee's coverage by the 11th Circuit Court. The employee was ineligible because of his wife's insurance, but had a written representation affirming his eligibility. Under equitable estoppel, the Court held the company liable for knowingly misrepresenting the employee's eligibility.

                  From the supplier: Western States' legislatures have failed to enact rising-rate preventative insurance laws that provide affordable coverage for low-income drivers, defeating insurance industry proposed no-fault insurance, reducing policy limits and eliminating liability coverage. However, the Hawaii Legislature has passed two automobile insurance reform laws on Apr 29, 1992 that freeze and reduce rates 15% until Jan 1, 1994. The bills also impose no-fault medical claims fee schedule and restrict claims payment amounts.

                                    Harry and Michael are father-son music teachers in England. This book is small, 5 3/4 by 8 inches and 191 pages, but they cover every basic topic and some I didn't expect. Besides the essential basics, the book also covers vocal and part writing, jazz notation, ornamentation, phrasing, and transposition.

                                    The explanations are understandably limited, but clear and concise. The only drawback in the book is the English terminology uses quavers (eighth notes) and mimims (half notes), etc.; instead of the American terms I'm used to.

                                    If you would like a compact manual of music reading, this is a good one, and the hardcover is a very good value.

                                      The people who shaped America's public broadcasting system thought it should be "a civilized voice in a civilized community" -- a clear alternative to commercial broadcasting. This book tells the story of how NPR has tried to embody this idea. Michael P. McCauley describes NPR's evolution from virtual obscurity in the early 1970s, when it was riddled with difficulties -- political battles, unseasoned leadership, funding problems -- to a first-rate broadcast organization.

                                      The book draws on a wealth of primary evidence, including fifty-seven interviews with people who have been central to the NPR story, and it places the network within the historical context of the wider U.S. radio industry. Since the late 1970s, NPR has worked hard to understand the characteristics of its audience. Because of this, its content is now targeted toward its most loyal listeners -- highly educated baby-boomers, for the most part -- who help support their local stations through pledges and fund drives.

                                      4 out of 5 stars Meticulously Researched Non-Profit Corporate History (whew!).......2006-07-26

                                      I'll confess that NPR (the book, not the radio network) was not quite what I expected. I anticipated a semi-lightweight book that combined weighty historical events with a deft, humorous hand, sort of like NPR itself. Opening it up, I looked forward to reading misty-eyed reminisces with Scott Simon and Terri Gross, or Bob Edwards and Susan Stamberg relating their experiences during the early days of NPR.

                                      Nope. This book may be a relatively quick read (130 pages, not counting the extensive end-notes), but it is a dense, meticulously researched, and quite serious history of the genesis and evolution of NPR. Particular attention is paid to the political processes that spawned it, as well as to the funding and leadership crises and challenges that it has experienced.

                                      In short, while this isn't the fun stuff, it is the "brass tacks" important stuff.

                                      While on-air personalities are not ignored, they get no more text allotted to them than NPR producers, news directors, and human resource managers. Thus, NPR (the book) is a non-profit corporate history. As someone with a high tolerance for the minutiae, I liked it. And others may as well, provided they know what they are getting into.

                                      4 out of 5 stars Inside History of NPR.......2005-07-22

                                      No scholar or writer knows more about the history of National Public Radio than Michael McCauley, and his book is packed with fascinating tidbits and shrewd insights about an institution many of us are addicted to. Very little of substance has been written about NPR, and this book, which contains fragments from scores of interviews the author conducted with NPR insiders, is the place to begin. The footnotes also make good reading. --Scott Sherman
