Apollo's Angels: A History of Ballet

Jennifer Homans, dance critic for The New Republic and former dancer with San Fransisco Ballet and Pacific Northwest Ballet, has written a book on the history of ballet that's receiving lots of acclaim and buzz.  The title of the book is Apollo's Angels.  

The New York Times has listed it as one of the ten best books of 2010, and a Times reviewer calls it "the only truly definitive history of the most impossibly fantastic art form, ballet."  Check out these sites on the book and the author:
