Description

The Lives of Isaac SternNo single American could personify what Henry Luce called the American Century. But over his eighty one years, Isaac Stern came closer than most. Russian Jewish parents brought him to San Francisco at ten months; practice and talent got him to Carnegie Hall, critical acclaim, and the attention of the legendary impresario Sol Hurok at twenty five.

No single American could personify what Henry Luce called the American Century. But over his eighty-one years, Isaac Stern came closer than most. Russian-Jewish parents brought him to San Francisco at ten months; practice and talent got him to Carnegie Hall, critical acclaim, and the attention of the legendary impresario Sol Hurok at twenty-five.

As America came of age, so too did Stern. He would go on to make music on five continents, records in formats from 78 rpm to digital, and friends as different as Frank Sinatra and Sir Isaiah Berlin. An unofficial cultural ambassador for Cold War America, he toured the world from Tokyo to Tehran and Tbilisi. He also shaped public policy from New York and Washington to Jerusalem and Shanghai. His passion for developing young talents--including Itzhak Perlman, Pinchas Zukerman, Yo-Yo Ma, and Midori--led him to loan instruments to needy players, broker gigs for Soviet migr s, and reply in person to inquiring fifth-graders.

As the first historian to mine his papers at the Library of Congress, David Schoenbaum traces Stern's sixty-year career from his formative years in San Francisco to concurrent careers as an activist, public citizen, chairman, and cultural leader in the Jewish community. Wide-ranging yet intimate, The Lives of Isaac Stern is a portrait of an artist and statesman who began as an American dreamer and left a lasting inheritance to his art, profession, and the world.

BEST TALLOW IVE EVER BOUGHT!
First, the scent isn’t over whelming which I like, & it doesn’t leave a greasy feel to my skin after applying. My skin feels amazing, & looks much healthier in addition which I like. I will be ordering more when it comes available again. GREAT FOR WINTER!

Not a big fan
Oily and doesn’t absorb well. The scent was very overpowered with honey.

Amazing product
I have just purchased my 7th jar! I absolutely love this product...and its American made! It leaves my skin soft, radiant and glowing! I didn't tell anyone about using it and people started asking me what I was doing differently. I get complements about my youthful glow! This company makes an amazing product and I hope that it will always be available! I have friends and family members hooked on it now. My mom just dropped a stocking stuffer hint to me tonight for another jar!

Legit balm. Not whipped. Made in USA.
Legit tallow balm. Not whipped. I love this stuff. It's the only thing that soothes, softens, and relieves my dry skin in the winter. Also made in USA, which is a priority for me.

Great winter moisturizer! Not greasy & absorbs well!
I needed a moisturizer that would last in colder weather. My skin is oily/normal and works well with my other facial products. I strictly use The Ordinary products and add this at the end to seal in the moisture. Pretty surprised how quickly this absorbed in to my skin. Has no scent and melts quickly on finger tips. I use it on my face and heels of my feet. Honestly love this addition to my fall/winter skincare routine. A little goes a long way! I have been using for a month now with great results. Definitely a great buy!
