The most modern, complete, and musical approach for the serious
guitar student. Covers music theory, scales, modes, chord voicings,
arpeggios, soloing, and comping. Over 180 music examples and 16

all concepts into a practical musical context.
One of the principal arguments put forth by Brexit supporters is
that by freeing the UK from the stranglehold of EU law, the country
will be able to expand its markets through increased bilateral
trade and enhance economic growth. This book tests this proposition
by reference to the car industry. Brexit and the Car Industry
explores the international position of the car market to argue that
the hope of Brexit bringing regulatory freedom is illusory. The
book starts by examining the structure of the vehicle industry, how
its regulatory framework evolved and how the environment in which
it operates is constrained by international standards and the
practicalities associated with trading across different regulatory
systems. By examining the evolution of vehicle regulations,
particularly related to the environment, it argues that a UK
independent path is not only impractical but self-defeating. The
private car market is structured in such a way that is global, and
meeting the various international regulatory requirements is a
price of entry requirement which no bilateral trade agreements are
likely to alter. The book also considers changing environment
affecting the car industry in the context of an aspiration for
regulatory freedom. The response to climate change and the impact
of technological change - specifically driverless vehicles - are
big questions for the industry and both are examined in this book.
The book also considers the emergence of large metropolitan areas
imposing their own use and environmental requirements operating
separately to national standards. The future of electric and
autonomous vehicles combined with the complexity of the regulatory
environment with both international and localised pollution
measures make the UK navigating a safe independent path through
with a viable car industry highly questionable. Providing a
comprehensive review of the relationship between regulatory
frameworks and free trading models, this book is aimed at industry
and legal professionals. It will also be of interest to students
studying market behaviour, free trade law and the free movement of
goods, and environmental protection.
Academic appointments can bring forth unexpected and unforeseen
contests and tensions, cause humiliation and embarrassment for
unsuccessful applicants and reveal unexpected allies and enemies.
It is also a time when harsh assessments can be made about
colleagues’ intellectual abilities and their capacity as a
scholar and fieldworker. The assessors’ reports were often
disturbingly personal, laying bare their likes and dislikes that
could determine the futures of peers and colleagues. Chicanery
deals with how the founding Chairs at Sydney, the Australian
National University, Auckland and Western Australia dealt with this
process, and includes accounts of the appointments of famous
anthropologists such as Raymond Firth and Alexander
Ratcliffe-Brown.
Texts and Contexts is concerned with the development of Pacific
Islands history as a specialization in its own right. Specifically,
this volume examines the foundational texts that pioneered and
consolidated the new subdiscipline and served as the building
blocks and stepping-stone for further developments in the field.
Thirty-five texts, all of which represent defining points in the
development of Pacific Islands historiography, are examined. Much
more than retrospective appraisals of the foundational texts, the
individual chapters consider a text or complimentary texts within
the context of the time of writing and gauge what ongoing influence
they exerted. In some cases they suggest how a particular text has
been superseded by subsequent work that breaks new conceptual
ground in the ongoing process of revisionism.
