The collaborative efforts of Keith and Kristyn Getty, along with
Stuart Townend, have produced long-lasting modern hymns for the
church. Arranger James Koerts has created these contemporary
arrangements of some of their best-loved praise classics. Titles:
Across the Lands (You're the Word of God) * By Faith * Come, People
of the Risen King * Compassion Hymn * How Deep the Father's Love
for Us * In Christ Alone (My Hope Is Found) * My Heart Is Filled
with Thankfulness * O Church, Arise * The Power of the Cross (Oh,
To See the Dawn) * See, What a Morning (Resurrection Hymn) * Speak,
O Lord * Still, My Soul, Be Still (with Be Still, My Soul).
"Memorable melodies, chordal accompaniment often in a flowing
broken chord pattern, and simple transitions to new keys make these
attractive arrangements a delight to learn and to play at an early
advanced level."
Joyce Janzen, Progressions
Music has long served as an emblem of national identity in
educational systems throughout the world. Patriotic songs are
commonly considered healthy and essential ingredients of the school
curriculum, nurturing the respect, loyalty and 'good citizenship'
of students. But to what extent have music educators critically
examined the potential benefits and costs of nationalism?
Globalization in the contemporary world has revolutionized the
nature of international relationships, such that patriotism may
merit rethinking as an objective for music education. The fields of
'peace studies' and 'education for international understanding' may
better reflect current values shared by the profession, values that
often conflict with the nationalistic impulse. This is the first
book to introduce an international dialogue on this important
theme; nations covered include Germany, the USA, South Africa,
Australia, Finland, Taiwan, Singapore and Canada.
Dante, Eschatology, and the Christian Tradition honors Ronald B.
Herzman, SUNY Geneseo Distinguished Teaching Professor of English.
Over more than fifty years Professor Herzman has been a major force
in the promotion of medieval studies within academe and public
humanities. This volume of essays by his colleagues, students, and
friends celebrates Professor Herzman’s outstanding career and
reflects the wide range of his scholarly and pedagogical influence,
from biblical and early Christian topics to Dante, Langland, and
Shakespeare.
This book offers a theological foundation for engaging with the
realities of suffering and dying. Designed particularly for
practical theology students and trainee caregivers, it introduces
the spiritual and theological issues raised by suffering and dying.
The chapters consider: how Christian theology deals with the
problem of suffering and how the Bible treats these difficult
issues post-biblical interpretations of Jesus' suffering and the
Cross modern instances including ecology, poverty, discrimination
and war comparative religious approaches and the depiction in
popular culture. Natalie Weaver relates theology to practical
issues of caregiving and provides a 'toolbox' for thinking about
suffering and death in a creative and supportive way.

Smart Phones, Healthcare Robots, Wearable Computers and Self
Driving Cars. They are arriving or already exists. We are becoming
increasingly intimate with the machines that constantly count,
control and watch the way we live. How can the growing world
population of more than 7 billion people create a humane life for
everyone? Let's find the errors and the holes in the technosphere
that will give us space for free and creative thinking. What's at
stake here is the remains of human agency. Let's use the brain
pixels that are not taken yet. And Save the Humans!
This book describes fundamental physical principles, together with
their mathematical formulations, for modelling the propagation of
signals in nerve fibres. Above all, it focuses on the complex
electro-mechano-thermal process that produces an ensemble of waves
composed of several components, besides the action potential. These
components include mechanical waves in the biomembrane and
axoplasm, together with the temperature change. Pursuing a
step-by-step approach, the content moves from physics and
mathematics, to describing the physiological effects, and finally
to modelling the coupling effects. The assumptions and hypotheses
used for modelling, as well as selected helpful concepts from
continuum mechanics, are systematically explained, and the
modelling is illustrated using the outcomes of numerical
simulation. The book is chiefly intended for researchers and
graduate students, providing them with a detailed description of
how to model the complex physiological processes in nerve fibres.

The book serves as an introduction to holomorphic curves in
symplectic manifolds, focusing on the case of four-dimensional
symplectizations and symplectic cobordisms, and their applications
to celestial mechanics. The authors study the restricted three-body
problem using recent techniques coming from the theory of
pseudo-holomorphic curves. The book starts with an introduction to
relevant topics in symplectic topology and Hamiltonian dynamics
before introducing some well-known systems from celestial
mechanics, such as the Kepler problem and the restricted three-body
problem. After an overview of different regularizations of these
systems, the book continues with a discussion of periodic orbits
and global surfaces of section for these and more general systems.
The second half of the book is primarily dedicated to developing
the theory of holomorphic curves - specifically the theory of fast
finite energy planes - to elucidate the proofs of the existence
results for global surfaces of section stated earlier. The book
closes with a chapter summarizing the results of some numerical
experiments related to finding periodic orbits and global surfaces
of sections in the restricted three-body problem. This book is also
part of the Virtual Series on Symplectic Geometry

These three volumes contain an account of Professor Henri Theil's
distinguished career as a leader, advisor, administrator, teacher,
and researcher in economics and econometrics. The books also
contain a selection of his contributions in many areas, such as
econometrics, demand analysis, information theory, forecasting,
statistics, economic policy analysis and management science. To
date he has contributed over 250 articles in refereed journals and
chapters in books, and 15 books, three of which became citation
classics. His books and articles have appeared in (and have been
translated into) many languages, such as Polish, Russian, Dutch,
English, French, German, Hungarian, Italian and Japanese. This
collection provides excellent reference material to researchers and
graduate students working in a variety of disciplines, such as
econometrics, economics, management science, operations research,
and statistics. Moreover, Professor Theil's career serves as a role
model for younger generations of scholars, both in terms of his
approach to research and his commitment to his profession.
Professor Theil's distinguished career as an academic began in 1953
when he was appointed Professor of Econometrics at the Netherlands
School of Economics in Rotterdam (now Erasmus University). Three
years later he founded the Econometric Institute in Rotterdam and
served as its first director until 1966, when he accepted a joint
appointment at the Graduate School of Business and Department of
Economics, University of Chicago, U.S.A. In 1981, Theil was
appointed to the McKethan-Matherly Eminent Chair at the Graduate
School of Business Administration of the University of Florida in
Gainesville. Theil has received many international honours
including four honorary degrees.

How do globalization and internationalization impact music
education around the world? By acknowledging different cultural
values and priorities, Alexandra Kertz-Welzel's vision challenges
the current state of international music education and higher
education, which has been dominated by English-language
scholarship. Her framework utilizes an interdisciplinary approach
and emphasizes the need for developing a pluralistic mode of
thinking, while underlining shared foundations and goals. She
explores issues of educational transfer, differences in academic
discourses worldwide, and the concept of the global mindset to help
facilitate much-needed transformations in global music education.
This thinking and research, she argues, provides a means for better
understanding global transfers of knowledge and ways to avoid
culturally and linguistically hegemonic standards. Globalizing
Music Education: A Framework is a timely call to action for a more
conscious internationalization of music education in which everyone
can play a part.
