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.

Speel jy al 'n ruk lank met mosaiekwerk, maar voel jy moet dit nou op 'n hoer vlak beoefen? Of is jy 'n beginner wat soek na 'n uitdaging? Dan is hierdie boek net wat jy nodig het. Dit bied mosaiekwerk aan as 'n kunsvorm waar lyn, kleur en tekstuur almal saamwerk om pragtige resultate te lewer. Die treffende foto's op elke bladsy is inspirerend en leersaam. Die skrywer, wat oorspronklik 'n tekstiel ontwerper was, besef hoe belangrik die keuse van 'n ontwerp is wanneer jy 'n mosaiekprojek wil onderneem. Hierdie boek sal jou leer hoe om die regte ontwerp te kies en dit as 'n ontwerptekening weer te gee. Die tegniese inligting wat verskaf word, sal jou lei deur die proses om 'n ontwerp te kies, jou leer van die verskillende teels wat beskikbaar is, oppervlakke waarop jy kan werk en watter vir bepaalde toestande gebruik moet word, die materiaal en gereedskap wat nodig is, sowel as die verskillende mosaiektegnieke wat vir die voltooiing van jou projek gebruik kan word. Daar is selfs voorstelle vir alternatiewe as benodigdhede in jou omgewing moeilik bekombaar is. Die stap-vir-stap-projekte is pragtig en kan presies gevolg word, maar die skrywer moedig mosaiekwerkers aan om die projekte hul eie te maak deur met kleur en tekstuur te speel. Die projekte sluit groot en klein items in wat jy in jou huis of as geskenke kan gebruik, en gee alternatiewe voorstelle en idees ingeval jy 'n ander voorkoms of gevoel sou verkies. Mosaiekkuns behels soveel meer as die blote plasing van teels langs mekaar, en met Doen Mosaiek in die hand sal jy ontdek hoe geweldig bevredigend hierdie handwerkvorm kan wees.

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.
