Largely through trial and error, filmmakers have developed engaging
techniques that capture our sensations, thoughts, and feelings.
Philosophers and film theorists have thought deeply about the
nature and impact of these techniques, yet few scientists have
delved into empirical analyses of our movie experience-or what
Arthur P. Shimamura has coined "psychocinematics." This edited
volume introduces this exciting field by bringing together film
theorists, philosophers, psychologists, and neuroscientists to
consider the viability of a scientific approach to our movie
experience.

This book of parent-to-parent advice aims to encourage, support,
and bolster the morale of one of music's most important back-up
sections: music parents. Within these pages, more than 150 veteran
music parents contribute their experiences, reflections, warnings,
and helpful suggestions for how to walk the music-parenting
tightrope: how to be supportive but not overbearing, and how to
encourage excellence without becoming bogged down in frustration.
Among those offering advice are the parents of several top
musicians, including the mother of violinist Joshua Bell, the
father of trumpeter Wynton Marsalis, the parents of cellist Alisa
Weilerstein, and those of violinist Anne Akiko Meyers. The book
also features advice from music educators and more than forty
professional musicians, including Paula Robison, Sarah Chang,
Anthony McGill, Jennifer Koh, Jonathan Biss, Toyin Spellman-Diaz,
Marin Alsop, Christian McBride, Miguel Zenon, Stephanie Blythe,
Lawrence Brownlee, and Kelli O'Hara. The topics they discuss span a
wide range of issues faced by the parents of both instrumentalists
and singers, from how to get started to encouraging effective
practice habits, to how to weather the rough spots, cope with the
cost of music training, deal with college and career concerns, and
help young musicians discover the role that music can play in their
lives. The parents who speak here reach a unanimous and
overwhelming conclusion that music parenting is well worth the
effort, and the experiences that come with it - everything from
flying to New York on the weekends to searching a flute convention
for the perfect instrument - enrich family life with a unique joy
in music.
With the increasing disappearance of stained glass in medieval
churches, the surviving wood carvings on church misericords and
bench ends are extremely important in providing an insight into the
medieval mind. The carved images were often used to convey the
messages of the Christian faith in the Middle Ages but they were
not just concerned with religion and religious symbols - they also
told stories of mythology, humour and satire, showing illustrations
of everyday life and people. This book outlines the history of
church seating and discusses the craftsmen and the influences
behind their work. Using illustrations, the author then explains
the subject matter of these wood carvings, revealing how one can
discover so much about medieval life - the spiritualism, moralism
and the wit - within the carvings still found in churches today.
How does theatre shape the body and perceptions of it? How do
bodies on stage challenge audience assumptions about material
evidence and the truth? Theory for Theatre Studies: Bodies responds
to these questions by examining how theatre participates in and
informs theories of the body in performance, race, queer,
disability, trans, gender, and new media studies. Throughout the
20th century, theories of the body have shifted from understanding
the body as irrefutable material evidence of race, sex, and gender,
to a social construction constituted in language. In the same
period, theatre has struggled with representing ideas through live
bodies while calling into question assumptions about the body. This
volume demonstrates how theatre contributes to understanding the
historical, contemporary and burgeoning theories of the body. It
explores how theories of the body inform debates about labor
conditions and spatial configurations. Theatre allows performers to
shift an audience's understandings of the shape of the bodies on
stage, possibly producing a reflexive dynamic for consideration of
bodies offstage as well. In addition, casting choices in the
theatre, most recently and popularly in Hamilton, question how
certain bodies are "cast" in social, historical, and philosophical
roles. Through an analysis of contemporary case studies, including
The Balcony, Angels in America, and Father Comes Home from the
Wars, this volume examines how the theatre theorizes bodies. Online
resources are also available to accompany this book.
Was Britain's postwar rebuilding the height of mid-century chic or
the concrete embodiment of crap towns? John Grindrod decided to
find out how blitzed, slum-ridden and crumbling austerity Britain
became, in a few short years, a space-age world of concrete, steel
and glass. What he finds is a story of dazzling space-age optimism,
ingenuity and helipads - so many helipads - tempered by protests,
deadly collapses and scandals that shook the government.

"I hope to bring the viewer into a more intimate view and greater
connection with the animal, and through that animal, with
themselves." --Heather A. Mitchell, Shepherd Pause
Metallica formed in 1981 in Los Angeles, California, their original
line-up consisted of Ulrich, rhythm guitarist and vocalist James
Hetfield, lead guitarist Dave Mustaine, and bassist Ron McGovney.
Mustaine and McGovney subsequently left and were replaced by Kirk
Hammett and Cliff Burton. Burton sadly died when the band's tour
bus crashed in 1986 and Jason Newsted stepped in as a replacement
staying until 2001. Robert Trujillo later joined as the band's
regular bassist in 2003. With a growing fan base on the underground
music scene, the band was also to achieve critical acclaim in 1986
with the release of their "Master of Puppets" album, widely
regarded as one of the most intense and influential of all thrash
metal recordings. Fortune followed fame when their eponymous 1991
album (known to fans as "The Black Album") went straight to No 1 on
the Billboard 200. It has since sold over 15 million copies in the
United States, which makes it the 25th highest selling album in the
country. Metallica has released nine studio albums, two live
albums, two EPs, twenty-two music videos, and forty-three singles.
The band has won seven Grammy Awards, and has had five albums debut
at number one on the Billboard 200. They had sold over 100 million
records worldwide by the time their latest album, "Death Magnetic",
was released in 2008.

What is the history of devised theatre? Why have theatre-makers,
since the 1950s, chosen to devise performances? What different
sorts of devising practices are there? What are the myths attached
to devising, and what are the realities? First published in 2005,
Devising Performance remains the only book to offer the reader a
history of devising practice. Charting the development of
collaboratively created performances from the 1950s to the early
21st century, it presents a range of case studies drawn from
Britain, America and Australia. Companies discussed include The
Living Theatre, Open Theatre, Australian Performing Group, People
Show, Teatro Campesino, Theatre de Complicite, Legs on the Wall,
Forced Entertainment, Goat Island and Graeae. Providing a history
of devising practice, Deirdre Heddon and Jane Milling encourage us
to look more carefully at the different modes of devising and to
consider the implications of our use of these practices in the 21st
century.
Bestselling historian William Dalrymple reinstates India as the great intellectual and philosophical superpower of Ancient Asia, tracing the cultural flow of its religion, science and mathematics.
For most of its modern history, India was fated to be on the receiving end of cultural influence from other civilisations. But this isn’t the complete story. A full millennium earlier, India’s major cultural exports – religion, art, technology, astronomy, mathematics, medicine, language and literature – were shaping civilisations, travelling as far as Afghanistan in the West and Japan in the East.
Out of India came pioneering merchants, astronomers and astrologers, scientists and mathematicians, surgeons and sculptors, as well as holy men, monks and missionaries. In The Golden Road, legendary historian William Dalrymple highlights India’s oftforgotten position as a crucial economic and civilisational hub at the heart of the ancient and early medieval history of Eurasia.
From Angkor to Ayutthaya, The Golden Road traces the cultural flow of Indian religions, languages, artistic and architectural forms and mathematics throughout the world. In this groundbreaking tome, Dalrymple draws from a lifetime of scholarship to reinstate India as the great intellectual and philosophical superpower of ancient Asia.
Alsop. We are an architectural practice, working and striving for
