Social Democracy is on the back-foot, and increasingly centre-left
political parties are struggling to win office. Bringing together a
range of leading academics and experts on social democratic
politics and policy, Why the left loses offers an international,
comparative view of the changing political landscape, examining the
degree to which the centre-left project is exhausted and is able to
renew its message in a neo-liberal age. Using case studies from the
UK, Germany, Spain, France, Australia and New Zealand contributors
argue that despite different local and specific contexts, the
mainstream centre-left is beset by a range of common challenges.
Analysis focuses on institutional and structural factors, the role
of key individuals, especially party leaders, and the atrophy of
progressive ideas in explaining why the centre-left is currently in
retreat. Why the Left Loses is aimed at stimulating wider debate
about the fortunes of the centre-left.
Julia Crowder is the mother of an autistic child and sees to it

A Framework for Teaching Music Online defines the current online
learning landscape of music in higher education and then presents a
cyclical teaching framework that describes how to practically
develop an online music course. Each part of the framework takes
the reader through the three main components of developing an
online music course: communication, design, and assessment.
Research-informed and practical, ideas and tools for faculty and
students to implement into their current or future online teaching
practice are explored. Johnson also considers future innovations,
exploring knowledge sharing and professional learning networks.

With the shift towards online education, teaching and learning
music has evolved to incorporate online environments. However, many
music instructors, faculty, and institutions are being challenged
on how to evolve their curriculum to meet these demands and
successfully foster students. Pedagogy Development for Teaching

nature of teaching and learning music in the online environment at
the post-secondary level. Featuring a broad range of topics such as
online and face-to-face instruction, instructional design, and
learning management system, this book is geared towards educators,
professionals, school administrators, academicians, researchers,
and students seeking current research on designing online music
courses using a social constructivist framework.
Author/educator Gerald "Boomer" Wright based this historical
children's book of adventure, exploration and discovery on research
documents. Spending a few stormy nights in the cave with hundreds
of sea lions is quite an event for Captain Cox. The Sea Lion Caves
on the Oregon Coast is a marine preserve visited by more than a
million tourists each year. Published by "Sutton Shores Press."
This polished study of the uses of reason in poetry is a
philosophical meditation. Its basic thesis is that poetry is the
objective correlative of reason, and in this sense it attacks both
romantic subjectivism and the more general tendency to consider
poetic effects in terms of reason-emotion dichotomy.

Danville, known as the City of Firsts and Birthplace of the
Bluegrass, is nestled in the heart of Kentucky. Its location on a
branch of the Wilderness Road, a trail blazed through frontier
lands by Daniel Boone and other like-minded pioneers, allowed
Danville to burgeon into a political, cultural, and educational hub
in the late 18th century. Danville was settled between 1783 and
1784 by Walker Daniel, for whom the town was named. A series of
constitutional conventions that led to Kentucky's statehood in 1792
were held in Danville, and the town has remained an integral piece
of state history since. The images in this volume reflect the
firsts for which Danville is famous: the Kentucky School for the
Deaf, Centre College, the home of famed physician Ephraim McDowell,
and more, as well as featuring photographs of everyday life:
churches, restaurants, and businesses so fondly recalled by its
citizens.

This book analyses social democratic parties' attempts to tackle
inequality in increasingly challenging times. It provides a
distinctive contribution to the literature on the so-called
'crisis' of social democracy by exploring the role of equality
policy in this crisis. While the main focus is on analysing
Australian Labor governments, examples are also given from a wide
range of parties internationally. The book traces how a traditional
focus on class has expanded to include other forms of inequality,
including issues of gender, race, ethnicity and sexuality and
explores both the intersections and potential tensions that result.
Meanwhile there are new challenges for equality policy arising from
a changing geo-economics (the rise of Asia), the legacies of
neoliberalism and the impact of technological disruption.
