Though serious jazz fans certainly recognize the brilliance of
guitarist Grant Green, his overall contributions to the genre were
sorely underrated during his own lifetime. Best known as a coveted
Blue Note Records session leader and sideman - he played on nine
Blue Note albums in 1961 alone - Green helped raise the art of jazz
guitar playing to new heights. Like his contemporary Wes
Montgomery, Green's driving, aggressive tone was simultaneously
fluid and eloquent. He moved freely from style to style, embracing
bop, gospel, blues, Latin, country, soul, and funk. In the late
'60s, Green forayed into pop jazz but was overshadowed on the
charts by more commercial players such as George Benson, who sang
as well as played. Throughout most of his brief life, Green battled
racial and religious barriers, as well as two failed marriages and
a drug habit. This book follows him from his St. Louis gospel and
blues roots to his heyday at New York's Blue Note Records; through
a subsequent period of musical flux; on the club circuit in
Detroit; and into eventual disillusionment, declining health, and
death in 1979 at age 43. While later Grant Green songs such as
"Down Here on the Ground" from the 1970 album Alive! have been
sampled by performers ranging from Madonna to A Tribe Called Quest,
the more classic 1963 album Idle Moments ranked Number 9 on Rolling
Stone's Alternative Music chart in 1994 - more than 30 years after
it was recorded. Such versatility and timelessness makes the short
life and career of this jazz guitar genius all the more
fascinating.

This book offers a pivotal re-evaluation of English teaching one
century on from The Newbolt Report of 1921, responding to this
seminal work and exploring its impact on issues and contemporary
aims of English teaching today. Bringing together a range of
experts in English higher education, the book provides a
twenty-first century inflection on the enduring issues highlighted
by Newbolt’s original report. It examines topics including the
demands of assessment, the narrowing of the literary curriculum,
the impact of education reform, targets related to social mobility,
class and widening participation, as well as broader questions
about the function of literature and the arts in education.
Chapters also consider issues surrounding the promotion of
community cohesion, diversity and how technological advances might
reshape literary education. This unique re-evaluation of the
achievements and findings of the Newbolt Commission will be
essential reading for those researching English education and the
history of education.
This timely book addresses the interaction between policies
addressing climate change and the rules of the WTO. The authors
expertly examine the law and economics behind the application of
trade rules in the area of climate, including the implications of
WTO rules for domestic climate measures, the unilateral use of
trade measures to attempt to force other countries to take climate
action, and the role of trade measures in multilateral climate
agreements. The book argues that while there is a possibility of
conflict between international trade rules and progress on climate
change, it need not be the case. Thus the major focus is on the
ways in which trade measures can aid in addressing climate change.
Canada has over-promised and under-delivered on climate change,
setting weak goals and allowing carve-outs, exceptions, and
exemptions to undermine its climate policies. Why, in an era when
climate change is front of mind for so many people, have we failed
to make progress? This question has been the source of heated
debate across the political spectrum. In Picking Up the Slack,
Andrew Green draws together different perspectives on the challenge
facing Canada to offer an accessible account of the ideas and
institutions that have impeded climate change action. Picking Up
the Slack embraces the complexity of the problem, showing that its
sources lie deep in Canada's institutional arrangements - pointing
to the role played by federal-provincial power sharing
arrangements, the heavy reliance on discretion in Canadian law, the
role of the courts, and the impact of social norms. Working from a
broad perspective that incorporates the insights of economics, law,
political science, and philosophy, Green unpacks the features of
Canadian policy making that determine the successes and failures of
climate policies. His message is ultimately optimistic: Picking Up
the Slack sheds light on how we can bring about meaningful movement
towards a fair and positive future.

Begun within months of the war's outbreak, and not completed for a
further 33 years, the writing of the Official Histories of World
War I was a venture of unprecedented scale and complexity. Who,
then, was responsible for producing such an enterprise? Did it aim
to inform or did it have darker political motivations? Did the
authors, who alone had access to records that were to remain
classified for decades to come, seek to lay the facts and lessons
of the war truthfully before the public? A number of critics have
claimed that, on the contrary, the Official Histories were highly
partial accounts written to protect reputations and cover up the
true scale of British military incompetence. Andrew Green directly
challenges these views, examining the progress by which official
history was written, the motives and influences of its paymasters,
and the literary integrity of its historians. The book focuses on
four offical volumes covering arguably the most contentious battles
of the war: Gallipoli, the Somme, Third Ypres (Passchendaele) and
March 1918. What emerges from this is both a story of these great
campaigns and an insight into the political intrigues and
conflicting constraints that influenced the official writing of the
Great War.
