Book SynopsisThe steel tongue drum (aka tong drum, tank drum, gluck-o-phone, hapi drum, mandala or lotus drum) and the handpan (aka hank drum, UFO drum, zen drum) are percussion musical instruments designed to help you focus on your feelings, sensations, and body.You don''t need classical music training or knowledge of music theory to play them. The main purpose is relaxation, meditation, and traveling through your inner world.No previous training or skills are necessary to enjoy these fascinating instruments. It is impossible to play them incorrectly. Anyone can play them: those who want to develop a good sense of rhythm and an ear for music, those who are seeking relaxation after a hard day at work, those who have always had an interest in learning how to play a musical instrument, and those who want to introduce something unusual into their lives and explore their inner selves.This book is aimed at those who want to add popular melodies to their experimentation.All songs in this book have been written without using the classic music score system because it is for absolute beginners who cannot read sheet music.We use circles with numbers because most modern tongue drums have numbers engraved or painted on their keys. We do not show the note duration -- we just group the circles closer to each other to show the rhythms. You can experiment with the duration on your own. Because most tongue drums include and are tuned to involve the notes of the main octave, all songs from this book are possible to play in one octave. This book includes very simple, popular children''s and folk songs, but even well-known children''s songs played on the drum will create an unusual magical sound.Attention: Songs have been transposed for a DIATONIC range. Some melodies might be changed and simplified. If you have flat keys on your instrument, please use the classic music score for the piano.Contents Introduction Rub-a-Dub-Dub The Wheels on the Bus Miss Mary Mack Happy Birthday Doggie Doggie Mary Had a Little Lamb Oh We Can Play on the Big Bass Drum Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star A Hunting We Will Go Kookaburra Ode to Joy Do You Know the Muffin Man?

Book SynopsisAn updated, expanded, edition of the popular textbook for student and practising teachers of religious education. It is a book for and about teaching and learning religious education in schools, which is a lively and open-ended subject, ideal for those wanting to explore how people understand the world, and how they live their lives. A wide range of religious and non-religious ways of life are explored. New to this edition are descriptions of more recent research on teaching and learning religious education from the UK, Europe, America, Asia, Africa and Australia. Also included are personal accounts written by pupils, teachers and researchers, giving voice to those learning and researching religious education in practice. As well as revising and extending every chapter of the first edition, there are brand-new chapters on: - the real lives of teachers and pupils in religious education - religious education around the world - spirituality - thinking about philosophy, truth, and religTrade ReviewThis book represents a useful tool for all those who have responsibility teaching RE to pupils in the primary school. * Education 3-13 *A distillation of the collective wisdom and experience of the RE practitioners ... A lively narrative combined with practical suggestions for innovative teaching and learning activities ... Every busy RE teacher should make the time to read this book. * The Journal of the National Association of Teachers of Religious Education (of the first edition) *The author’s vision of RE does not shy from the problems of real life, and he produces a wealth of theoretical reflections and practical measures for researchers, teachers and pupils that should help all readers to take the subject forward, asking demanding questions of their own lives, and of the lives of others. * Journal of Beliefs and Values (of the first edition) *Rooted in the UK context, Teaching Religious Education provides opportunities for religious educators to reflect on their own practice in the light of teaching in other geographical regions. It also provides opportunities for religious education teachers in other regions to consider their own research and practice in light of insights on religious education in broader context. * Michael T. Buchanan, Associate Professor, Australian Catholic University, Australia *When Stern speaks of empowering educators as researchers, he isn’t merely telling what ‘should’ be done but actively models how to go about this through case studies, examples, and resources. The reader leaves with more than just passion having a vision of what research-infused RE might look like in their classroom. * Richard E.

Book SynopsisGame playing is a highly effective way of engaging children and has long been acknowledged as an important means of psychological therapy. This book offers an abundance of fun games that help children to confront personal problems and issues in a light-hearted yet meaningful way.These are games with a difference, as they must be constructed before they can be played. The creation aspect involves collaboration and cooperation within a team, and instils an empowering sense of ownership in the creators. By the time the game is ready to be played, children are confident, thoroughly engaged and ready to explore issues in a supportive environment. Each game has been tried and tested by the author, and is proven to really work.This book is an essential tool for therapists, counsellors, social workers, youth workers and teachers supporting children and young people.Trade ReviewThis book is a "recipe-book" of lovely ideas for playful and creative art games to play with children. Although designed for group work and directive in nature, there are great ideas here. The games are unique in that children are involved in making them as well as playing them... This would be a useful book for those running nurture groups or other small groups of children with mild to moderate behavioral, emotional or social needs. Teachers keen to support emotional and social learning would also find this practical book useful. -- Play for LifeAs a play therapist I was excited to receive this book to review so as to explore new ideas and possibilities for working with children, in this case using art as well as play. What sets it apart from other such books is Barber's focus on the importance of involving the young persons in the process of creating the games, rather than just playing them. Indeed this is the book's greatest strength... The games are simple, clear and transferable to a wide variety of settings working to offer emotional support to children and young people. It is a valuable resource that could be dipped into either to take a game as it is, or to use it as a starting point from which to create and explore one's own ideas. Therapists, counsellors, social workers, youth workers or teachers may find it a useful addition to their 'toolbox'. -- British Gestalt JournalThis useful book provides guidelines for creating and playing art games with children and young children, to help them discuss and deal with emotional issues. An unusual feature of the book is an emphasis on the making of the games, involving the participants, valuing this as just as important as the subsequent playing of the games. The book will be useful to anyone working with children and young people and hoping to empower them in a fun and creative way. -- Dr. Marian Liebmann, Art Therapist, Bristol Inner City Mental Health Team and University of BristolTable of ContentsIntroduction.

Book SynopsisHistorians have long been interested in knowledge - its nature and origin, and the circumstances under which it was createdbut it has only been in recent years that the history of knowledge has emerged as an academic field in its own right. In Circulation of Knowledge, a group of Nordic scholars explore a range of theoretical and methodological approaches to this new and exciting area of historical research. The question of knowledge in motion is central to their investigations, and especially how knowledge is transformed when it circulates between different societal arenas, literary genres, or forms of media. Reflecting on twelve empirical studies, from sixteenth-century cartography to sexology in the 1970s, the authors make a significant contribution to the growing international research on the history of knowledge.

Book SynopsisQuick Hits for Teaching with Digital Humanities is an edited collection of 24 articles that aims to introduce faculty, administrators, and staff to ways in which digital techniques from the arts, humanities, and social sciences can be incorporated in the classroom.Trade Review"At this moment when all of us, suddenly, have become teachers in the digital space, this volume provides the kinds of hands on, practical advice educators need to navigate the complexities of teaching in the digital humanities. Ten years ago, half of the topics covered in these essays wouldn't even be topics of discussion, but today are part of our regular teaching practices. None of us will ever master all aspects of DH teaching, but taken together, the essays in this volume come close."—Mills Kelly, Executive Director of Roy Rosenzweig Center for History and New Media and Professor of History, George Mason University"I'm not sure I can". "I'm not sure my students can."I don't think I'd know where to begin"I don't really see the point, to be honest". Decades after the emergence of digital humanities, the field can still seem daunting to outsiders and integration to teaching projects remains uneven. That's where this book comes in, presenting a variety of ambitious yet accessible, real-life projects to inspire and embolden. A stepping stone to a new dimension."—Géraldine Castel, Lecturer in English LEA (Applied Foreign Languages), Grenoble Alpes University"Featuring a wide variety of examples from educators from across higher-ed, this Quick Hits volume is as useful to educators looking to develop digital humanities classes as it is to more advanced practitioners interested in integrating the latest tools and approaches. By highlighting field-tested methods in digital humanities teaching, the essays collected here will greatly enrich scholars' ability to enhance their curricular interventions, both conceptually and methodologically."—Marisa Parham, University of Maryland, Director of irLhumanitiesTable of ContentsEdward L.

Book SynopsisFrom the silent era to the present, film productions have shaped the way the public views campus life. Collaborations between universities and Hollywood entities have disseminated influential ideas of race, gender, class, and sexual difference. Even more directly, Hollywood has drawn writers, actors, and other talent from ranks of professors and students while also promoting the industry in classrooms, curricula, and film studies programs. In addition to founding film schools, university administrators have offered campuses as filming locations. In UniversityBabylon, CurtisMarez argues that cinema has been central to the uneven incorporation and exclusion of different kinds of students, professors, and knowledge. Working together, Marez argues, film and educational institutions have produced a powerful ideology that links respectability to academic merit in order to marginalize and manage people of color. Combining concepts and methods from critical university studies, ethnic studiTrade Review"Marez convincingly delineates how a particular idea of the university has served—and continues to serve—to define belonging and merit on college campuses in terms of white supremacy and patriarchal heteronormativity." * American Literary History *

Book SynopsisDuring the global BlackLivesMatter protests of 2020, many called upon the United States to finally face its painful past. Tim Gruenewald's new book is an in-depth investigation of how that past is currently remembered at the national museums in Washington, DC.Trade ReviewCurating America’s Painful Past explores the vital contest between the dream of casting America’s past as a virtuous story and the need to come to terms with the pain and suffering it has caused. Tim Gruenewald’s insightful probe of the tension between these competing frames on national memory in new museums on the National Mall dedicated to the experiences of groups like African Americans and Native Americans makes it clear that this raging debate is far from over." - John Bodnar, distinguished professor of history emeritus, Indiana University, and author of The “Good War” in American Memory"Curating America’s Painful Past makes powerfully clear that the National Mall in Washington, DC, is an ongoing script through which US national identity is curated and contested. In an incisive critical analysis of the museums on the mall that are wrestling with painful national pasts, this book reveals the limitations of the national story told on the Washington Mall and challenges us to imagine other possibilities." - Marita Sturken, professor of media, culture, and communication, New York University"At a moment of national reckoning with traumatic histories of racial oppression, Tim Gruenewald offers deep insight into several sites casting these painful pasts, contributing to a broader collective forgetting that has long stymied the fight for racial justice. Undertaking a series of close readings of narratives and museum displays along the National Mall, as well as their affect, Gruenewald provides a powerful book that will challenge readers to reconsider the nexus of tourism, storytelling, and public culture. This is a critical work for a critical juncture in American society." - Nicole Maurantonio, associate professor of rhetoric and communication studies, University of Richmond, and author of Confederate Exceptionalism: Civil War Myth and Memory in the Twenty-First Century

Book SynopsisAwakening Creativity shows in gloriously illustrated detail how Lily Yeh guides a participatory process of artistic expression that uplifts a distressed community. Her open, joyful approach to artmaking is a model for building healthy cultural esteem. Lily Yeh is an acclaimed visual artist who has worked with students, community leaders and teachers in Canada, China, Ecuador, Ghana, Kenya, Syria, Italy and in cities and neighborhoods across the United States. Yeh is considered one of America's most innovative urban designers and social pioneers. Awakening Creativity is her first, much-awaited book. In Awakening Creativity, Yeh facilitates the art-making process for students of The Dandelion School, the only nonprofit organization in Beijing that serves the children of poor migrant workers coming from 24 provinces. Yeh worked with hundreds of students, teachers, volunteers and workers to transform the school's main campus with mural painting, mosaics, and environmental sculpture. StudTrade Review"""Creativity is a certain flare of spirit that is truly unlike anything else. Awakening Creativity: Dandelion School Blossoms is a call for social change through creativity from Lily Yeh, as she shares her own drive to make the world a better place through art and tells her story of turning a wasted factory space in Beijing into something that is so much more - the Dandelion school, aimed at the local children to give them inspiration for a better future. With a certain dedication, Awakening Creativity comes with a powerful message that definitely should not be overlooked."" * Midwest Book Review, 2011 *""Art is in all of us, and the best seek to encourage it in others.

The art beautifies the campus, but its impact is far deeper: it gives students the skills and the inspiration to be active co-creators of their own lives."" -- Joseph Hart * Public Art Review *""Yeh’s book should be used as a model in run-down schools everywhere. It should be used in community development training and in every school of design. Her work is the best of what art can do to build the human spirit and make a community place.

Book SynopsisThe premise of this book is very simple. While acknowledging that much progress has been made since the end of World War II to improve life conditions for billions of people and reduce the likelihood of war, current global challenges threaten to undermine, undo, or even reverse much of the progress made. Growing political and social polarization, and the resultant increasing fear of each other, is on a trajectory that could cause unprecedented harm. The book illustrates how everyone can have an impact on peace and that many already do so in both constructive and negative ways, illustrated by many examples. The book offers an expansive view of peace, which includes promoting human rights, identifying and resolving situations of slow violence, working to promote fair and sustainable economic development, identifying and resolving injustices, and establishing institutions and practices for resolving conflicts by communicative means. The book especially focuses on the role universities can and should play in promoting peace. Universities, which have played a pivotal role in creating a more humane and just world through their research, teaching and scholarship, now face the challenge of thoughtfully examining how each discipline and vocation and the university as a whole can contribute to fostering peace. In general, universities help to prepare students actively to work for peace by cultivating their capacities at reasoning and reflecting, developing their skills in communicating and research, and fostering among them an active awareness of their responsibilities as citizens of the world. While not every discipline or vocation shares the same level of responsibility to advance peace, all have the potential to do so as they intentionally and thoughtfully look for avenues to do so.

Focuses on theoretical and pedagogical approaches to the teaching of African Literature on both sides of the Atlantic and beyond. The publication of Chinua Achebe's Things Fall Apart in 1958 drew universal attention not only to contemporary African creative imagination, but also established the art of the modern African novel.

Book SynopsisEste libro consiste en la edición de 188 cartas inéditas que, desde 1906 hasta 1970, Pilar de Zubiaurre escribió y mayormente recibió de numerosos intelectuales y artistas del ámbito hispánico, desde José Ortega y Gassetobia Camprubí y María Martos de Baeza. ENGLISH VERSION A compilation of 206 unpublished letters written by Pilar de Zubiaurre from 1906 to 1970 to many Hispanic intellectuals and artists, ranging from José Ortega y Gasset toZenobia Camprubí and María Martos de Baeza.Trade ReviewIn Zubiaurre's epistolary correspondence, the letters that she received from other exiled women such as Zenobia Camprubí and María Martos de Baeza stand out due to their intensity and length because they show the richness of a parallel relationship between exiled women, fundamental to maintain the memory of the Spanish Republic and establish new links with the interior exile and the exiles in other American countries. . . . Many of these letters are moving because they express so well the exile's misfortune. . . . A great contribution to the knowledge of the hidden details of a fundamental period of the Spanish culture. A map of maps, private and collective. -- Enric Bou, Università Ca' Foscari Venezia * ARIZONA JOURNAL OF HISPANIC STUDIES *This edition is very important, not only to underline Pilar de Zubiaurre's work in the development of Spanish culture and defense of the Republican ideals in exile, but also for the study of epistolary literature, a genre considered secondary until the end of the 20th century. This edition is also fundamental to study the very important role that women played in the dissemination of news and communication between the exile communities and Spain. In a moment when transnationalism is considered a critical topic in the study of literature and culture, Zubiaurre's collection of letters is essential to apprehend the ties between Europe, the United States and Latin America in the 20th century. -- María Luisa Guardiola Tey, Swarthmore College * ANALES DE LA LITERATURA ESPAÑOLA CONTEMPORÁNEA *A brilliant contribution to the rescue of the recent historical memory, as well as a good addition to the field of Spanish Republican culture and exile. Not only does the book recover an intellectual figure but it also expands the knowledge of a period, a generation, and a genre: women's letters. -- José Ángel Ascunce Arrieta, University of Deusto - Hamaika Bide * LABERINTOS *Table of ContentsIntroducción.

Book SynopsisIst Gott in den Genen zu finden? Ist Religion göttlichen Ursprungs – oder doch ein natürliches, also biologisches Phänomen? Und wenn Religion in unserer Biologie angelegt ist, wie und warum ist sie entstanden? Wie sehen ihre Anfänge aus, die ja sehr einfach gewesen sein müssen – Religion im Einzellerstadium sozusagen! Wie entwickelte sie sich dann weiter, und lassen sich in dieser Entwicklung, wie bei der biologischen Evolution, Gesetzmäßigkeiten feststellen? Anders ausgedrückt: Gibt es eine Biologie der Religionen beziehungsweise eine Biologie der Religionsentstehung? Dieses Buch unternimmt erstmalig den Versuch einer umfassenden Antwort auf diese Fragen. Die Autoren – Experten aus Biologie, Paläontologie, Psychologie, Religionswissenschaft und Theologie – entwerfen auf der Basis fächerübergreifender wissenschaftlicher Befunde ein Modell der Religionsentstehung, das das Aufkommen religiöser Verhaltensweisen schlüssig aus dem natürlichen Verhaltensrepertoire des Menschen erklärt. So wird die menschheitsgeschichtliche Entwicklung von Religiosität plausibel und nachvollziehbar. Wer wissen will, wie Religion entstanden ist, wird in diesem breiten und sachkundigen Überblick die Antwort finden. _____ Die Götter fielen nicht vom Himmel – die biologischen Grundlagen der Religionsentstehung Religion ist ein universal verbreitetes Phänomen, und überall auf der Welt prägen religiöse Überzeugungen politisches und gesellschaftliches Handeln. Viele Menschen wollen verstehen, warum Religion trotz aller rationalen Kritik fortbesteht, und fragen deshalb auch nach ihren Anfängen und ihrer Entwicklung in der Menschheitsgeschichte. Götter – Gene – Genesis ist der ehrgeizige Versuch dreier interdisziplinär arbeitender Autoren, den Ursprung von Religion schlüssig und nachvollziehbar zu erklären. Ihr Buch verfolgt insofern einen originellen Ansatz, als es den aktuellen kognitionswissenschaftlichen und evolutionär-psychologischen Entwürfen zur Erklärung der Religionsentstehung eine ganz bewusst verhaltensorientierte Perspektive entgegensetzt: Religiöses Verhalten wird konsequent verhaltenswissenschaftlich – ethologisch, biologisch, psychologisch – erklärt. Entscheidende Faktoren für die frühe Entwicklung von Religiosität sind Territorialverhalten und Gefahrenabwehr, innerartliche Aggression und Ritualisierung, Angstbewältigung und Konfliktlösung sowie die kulturelle Evolution als Fortsetzung der biologischen Evolution. Mit der konsequenten Herausarbeitung der biologischen Grundlagen bietet das Buch einen Überblick zur Religionsentstehung, der sehr viel „bodenständiger“ und oft auch im Wortsinne „anschaulicher“ ist als manch andere, spekulative Entstehungsszenarien. Die Lektüre des Buches vermittelt dem Leser fundierte Kenntnisse über die Erscheinungsformen und Geschichte religiösen Verhaltens – und liefert so einen wichtigen Beitrag für die heute oft so emotional geführte Debatte zu Glaubensfragen. Trade Review“... Das Buch ist von einer Detailfülle historischer,ethnologischer und religionswissenschaftlicher Befunde geprägt, die durch zahlreiche Abbildungen, Fotos und Tafeln veranschaulicht werden. ... Das Buch trägt eine Vielzahl nützlicher Funktionen religiösen Verhaltens in verschiedenen Kulturen und Zeitaltern zusammen. ...

Book Synopsis​​​Zwischen den 1920er und 1950er Jahren waren die Tabakhersteller in den USA für den musikalischen Inhalt in den wichtigsten Medien verantwortlich. Ihre Werbeagenturen machten nicht nur Reklame, sie waren zudem Booker und Programmverantwortliche. Sie machten Jazz und Swing salonfähig, Sänger zu Popstars und entwickelten die allererste Chartshow. Die Werbung beherrschte nicht nur den Content, sie war sogar ein wichtiger Faktor für die Geburt der Plattenindustrie. Pinie Wang analysiert den Wandel der Musikindustrie aufgrund des Einflusses von Werbung – vom Zeitalter der Notenblätter bis hin zu Social Media. Die Autorin hebt die hybride Eigenschaft von Musik in öffentlichen Medien hervor und zeigt, dass Musik als spezifische Form öffentlicher Kommunikation stets mit unterschiedlichen Zwecken verbunden ist.Table of Contents​Das Live-Geschäft als Kernkompetenz der Musikindustrie.- Das Senden von Musik als Kernkompetenz der Musikindustrie.- Der Tonträger als Kernkompetenz der Musikindustrie.- Dienstleistung als Kernkompetenz der Musikindustrie.- Musik als eine spezifische Form öffentlicher Kommunikation.

Book SynopsisDie Geschichte der kopernikanischen Revolution wurde bereits oft geschrieben, doch meines Wissens nicht unter dem Blickwinkel und in dem Umfang, die hier beabsichtigt sind. Vielerlei Einzelereignisse verbergen sich hinter dem Schlagwort von der Wende oder Revolution. Ihr Kern war eine Umwandlung der mathematischen Astronomie, doch brachte sie auch begriff­ liche Änderungen in der Kosmologie, Physik, Philosophie und Religion mit sich. Einzelaspekte der kopernikanischen Revolution wurden wiederholt untersucht, und ohne die daraus entstandenen Abhandlungen hätte dieses Buch nicht geschrieben werden können. Die Vielfalt der Umwälzungen übersteigt die Fähigkeiten des einzelnen Gelehrten, der die ursprünglichen Quellen studiert. Sowohl spezialisierte Untersuchungen als auch die darauf aufbauenden vereinfachenden Darstellungen verfehlen jedoch notwendiger­ weise einen der wichtigsten und faszinierendsten Züge der Revolution - ein Charakteristikum, das aus der Vielfalt der Umwälzung selbst entspringt. Wegen dieser Vielfalt bietet die kopernikanische Wende eine ideale Gelegenheit zu sehen, wie und mit welchem Ergebnis Vorstellungen aus vielen verschiedenen Gebieten sich zu einem einzigen Gedankengebäude zusammenfügen. Kopernikus selbst war ein Spezialist, ein mathematischer Astronom, der an der Korrektur esoterischer Methoden zur Berechnung von Planetenpositionen interessiert war. Oft war die Richtung seiner For­ schung jedoch durch Entwicklungen bestimmt, die mit der Astronomie nichts zu tun hatten. Darunter befanden sich die veränderte Darstellung des Falles von Steinen im Mittelalter, die Wiederbelebung mystischer, antiker Anschau­ ungen in der Renaissance, die die Sonne als das Abbild Gottes betrachteten, und die Atlantikreisen, die den Horizont des Menschen der Renaissance erweiterten.Table of Contents1 Das antike Universum.- 2 Das Planetenproblem.- 3 Das Zwei-Kugel-Universum im aristotelischen Denken.- 4 Der Wandel der Tradition: von Aristoteles zu Kopernikus.- 5 Kopernikus’ Neuerung.- 6 Die Assimilation der kopernikanischen Astronomie.- 7 Das neue Universum.- Technischer Anhang.- 1 Korrektur der Sonnenzeit.- 2 Das Vorrücken der Äquinoktien.- 3 Mondphasen und Verfinsterungen.- 4 Antike Messungen des Universums.- Anmerkungen.- Bibliographische Anmerkungen.
