LET THE MUSIC PLAY! Harnessing the Power of Music for History and
Social Studies Classrooms provides readers an accessible
introduction to employing music in history and social studies
classrooms. Teachers who wish to develop lessons using music as a
resource will find coverage of the significant relationship between
music and social studies, pedagogical models designed to facilitate
using music within history and social studies lessons, and coverage
of salient historical themes in which music has been integral. The
book begins by establishing the connection between music and social
studies themes. Here readers will explore the ways musicians have
attempted to address social, political or historical events and
issues through song. Through relevant research and exclusive
interviews done for this book, the thoughts of prominent musicians
noted for songs promoting social consciousness and self awareness -
including Ian MacKaye, Henry Rollins and Aaron Bedard-are shared.
The views of teachers and students in terms of the connections
between music and the social studies as well as their inclinations
to using music in social studies classrooms are also prominently
addressed. Additionally, the book furnishes readers with a
practical guide to using music in the social studies classroom.
Through explanation of four models for using music in the
classroom, readers gain relevant ideas useful for a wide variety of
instructional methodologies. And finally, the authors delve into
three of the most enduring themes in American history and social
studies curricula: race, labour and class. Through an examination
of these topics, within the framework of music, readers are given
the opportunity to discern the way music has manifested in each of
these topics. Readers will also enjoy lesson plans and annotated
playlists associated with each of these topics. CONTENTS Preface:

THE EXTRAORDINARY STORY OF THE ICE-SKATING DUO WHO BECAME THE
NATION'S FAVOURITES - NOW THE SUBJECT OF A MAJOR ITV BIOPIC. When
Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean collapsed to the ice at the
climax of their routine to Bolero in the 1984 Winter Olympics, the
judges could find no fault, awarding them 12 maximum scores of 6.0,
while 24 million viewers watching at home in Britain simply looked
on in amazement. Suddenly, we were all experts in figure skating,
and we wanted to know more about the couple at the heart of it all.
Despite intense interest in them, Torvill & Dean kept their
lives private, with many still wondering if the pair were really a
couple. They turned professional and would eventually spend eight
years working on ITV's Dancing on Ice, but still much of their
story remained unknown. Now, in Our Life on Ice, Torvill & Dean
finally open up about the challenges they have faced and the
pressures of life in the public eye: Jayne speaks candidly about
her struggle with husband Phil to have children, while Chris
reveals the heartache in his family story. And of course, there is
the skating, and the stories about what inspired their famous
routines, and what the pair hope to achieve in the future as the
approach their fortieth anniversary working together. It is the
book their millions of fans have been waiting to read.
Using France as a case study, contributors from around the world
explore the factors that create violent extremists, including
criminogenic needs, violence-supportive cognition, religious
beliefs, identity uncertainty or fusion, the quest for
significance, and social and political influences. They present a
multidisciplinary and evidenced-based analysis of how and why
violent extremism has reappeared as a contemporary issue and
provide theoretical and practical approaches to responding to and,
when possible, intervening, using deradicalization programs,
deterrent and preventive legislations, prison segregation, and
permanent monitoring.

Core Anatomy offers a thorough yet concise explanation of all
aspects of anatomy essential to students. Volume I covers the upper
limb--shoulder, upper arm and elbow joint, forearm, wrist, hand and
digits, and front of the forearm; the lower limb--front and sides
of the thigh, gluteal region and hip joint, back of the thigh,
popliteal fossa and knee joint, leg, ankle, and foot; and the
vertebral column--vertebral column, and the spinal cord.
An anthropologist and an anatomist have combined their skills in
this book to provide students and research workers with the
essentials of anatomy and the means to apply these to
investigations into hominid form and function. Using basic
principles and relevant bones, conclusions can be reached regarding
the probable musculature, stance, brain size, age, weight, and sex
of a particular fossil specimen. The sort of deductions which are
possible are illustrated by reference back to contemporary apes and
humans, and a coherent picture of the history of hominid evolution
appears. Written in a clear and concise style and beautifully
illustrated, An Introduction to Human Evolutionary Anatomy is a
basic reference for all concerned with human evolution as well as a
valuable companion to both laboratory practical sessions and new
research using fossil skeletons.
