The Legat Legacy brings back into print two classic works that offer rare insights into the golden age of Russian ballet. The first, Ballet Russe: Memoirs of Nicolas Legat, takes readers into the last three decades of the Imperial Ballet before the 1917 Russian Revolution. Written by Nicolas Legat (1869-1937), one of the great creative geniuses of classical ballet, these memoirs recount Legat's experiences as principal dancer before he fled to Europe to escape the Russian Civil War. The book is filled with memorable character descriptions and includes some of Legat's unique, celebrated caricatures.

The second, Heritage of a Ballet Master: Nicolas Legat, is a valuable testament to Legat's classroom pedagogy. Assembled by Legat student, professional dancer, and prolific author John Gregory (1914-1996) to showcase the four complete classes that Legat wrote out by hand for his student the ballet star Andr Eglevsky (1917-1977), this book also features several Legat classes remembered by other students. In addition, it contains music for the classes, Legat's drawings, photographs of him in performance, and other archival material. It includes a brief biography of Legat and fascinating remembrances from his former students, among them Alicia Markova and L onide Massine, and a forward by Alexandra Danilova. Marked by their variety and musicality, Legat's teachings are preserved here for future generations of dancers to discover.

A simple book with a powerful message!
Format: Paperback
A simple book with a powerful message! If you are looking for a laymen’s guide on the arguments for the resurrection of Jesus, from every conceivable angle, then this book is for you. Habermas and Licona are two Bible scholars that have joined forces to provide both new and mature believer with everything they need to know to share their faith and knowledge on the resurrection of Jesus. One of the great strengths of the book is that right from the start Habermas and Licona give us what they believe is a very powerful strategy for sharing the story of the resurrection which they call a “minimal facts approach.” The great advantage of this approach is that we can stick to the topic of the resurrection and not get sidetracked to issues on the reliability of the Bible. In addition this approach considers only those data that are so strongly attested historically that almost every scholar (including the skeptical ones) accept their truthfulness. Under this approach the authors suggest that the first four facts below are almost universally accepted by all types of scholars while the fifth fact is accepted by a majority of scholars: 1. Jesus died by crucifixion. 2. Jesus’ disciples believed that he rose and appeared to them. 3. The church persecutor Paul was suddenly changed. 4. The skeptic James, brother of Jesus, was suddenly changed. 5. The tomb was empty. The book also discusses the many different theories that skeptics have used down through the centuries to debunk the resurrection of Jesus. Some of the most popular theories include: the resurrection being a legend, the disciples stole the body, the witnesses went to the wrong tomb, the apparent death theory and the hallucination hypotheses. One by one Habermas and Licona give detailed reasons why each theory fails to align with the five minimal facts shared above. Throughout the book the authors appeal to both biblical and extra-biblical sources to make their case. I especially enjoyed reading Chapter 8 – Naturally Speaking. In this chapter science, miracles and near-death experiences are discussed and the reader comes away with the realization that God does indeed exist. Throughout the book a myriad of charts help to summarize each different idea and theory making it easy to remember the main arguments used to equip the believer with everything they need to make the case for the resurrection of Jesus. I also found the chapter on People Skills especially practical in helping to prepare us with the wisdom we need to share everything we have learned in the book with skeptics and non-believers. The appendix provides a very detailed outline of all the arguments and is the perfect refresher course for the book. The many pages of notes are an excellent source for anyone desiring to go deeper into the material. Finally the interactive game CD is a great way to reinforce many of the ideas from the book and is a fun way to help remember important themes.
