Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
In the face of the continuing national tragedy of the inequality,
poverty and unemployment which have triggered rising working-class
discontent around the country, the ANC announced a 'second phase'
of the 'national democratic revolution' to deal with the
challenges. Ironically, the ANC post-Mangaung has resolved to
preserve the core tenets of the minerals-energy-financial complex
that defined racial capitalism - while at the same time ratcheting
up the revolutionary rhetoric to keep the working class and
marginalised onside. If the 'first phase' was a tragedy of the
unmet expectations of the majority, is the 'second phase' likely to
be a farce? The chapters in this volume are written by experts in
their fields and address issues of politics, power and social
class; economy, ecology and labour; public policy and social
practice; and South Africa beyond its borders. They examine some of
these challenges, and indicate that they are as much about the
defective content of policies as their poor implementation. The
third volume of the New South African Review continues the series
by providing in-depth analyses of the key issues facing the country
today.
From the dust of the Montana plains to the farthest reaches of the
cosmos, Terrence Malick's films have enchanted audiences with
transcendent images of nature, humanity, and grace for nearly fifty
years. The contributors in this volume explore the profound
implications of Malick's stories, images, processes, and
convictions as they offer comprehensive studies of the ten
completed films of Terrence Malick. Each chapter takes a reflective
and retrospective approach, considering new interpretations and
frameworks for understanding Malick's unique creative choices.
Drawing from a range of diverse academic disciplines, the
collection analyzes the groundbreaking qualities of his cinematic
style and the philosophical underpinnings that permeate his work.
Rigorously researched and unique, the arguments presented within
this volume shed new light on Malick and the cinematic medium.

The clinical protocols included in this book are focused both on
clinical and subclinical depression and are targeted for both
adults and youth. After providing a concise overview on depression
and the empirical data supporting the clinical protocols, the book
illustrates REBT/CBT protocols that provide essential guidance on
how to address depression by practitioners at all levels of
expertise (e.g. therapists in training and/or more experienced
therapists). The field of psychotherapy research is now at a stage
where the efficacy (i.e., how treatments work in controlled
studies) and effectiveness (i.e., how treatments work in real life)
of psychological treatments have been demonstrated for a large
spectrum of disorders (Barlow, 2001). Cognitive - behavior
therapies (CBT) are considered the gold standard for empirically
validated forms of psychotherapy in the treatment of clinical and
subclinical depression, showing short- and long-term effects (see
Barlow, 2001; Chambless & Hollon, 1998) that are at least as
strong as those of pharmacotherapy (medication) or other therapies
(i.e., interpersonal therapy; DeRubeis et al., 200 5; Hollon et
al., 2005; Shea et al., 1992) and it is hoped that these treatments
will help not only treat but also prevent the onset of major
depression (Cuijpers, Smit, & Straten, 2007). Cognitive
-behavior therapies are based on the premise that psychological
problems stem from dysfunctional cognitions (Beck, Rush, Shaw,
& Emery, 1979; Ellis, 1962). In CBT, the therapist works with
the client to identify and focus upon dysfunctional cognitions to
modify them and remedy associated emotional and/or behavior al
consequences. Two of the most influential and widespread forms of
CBT are cognitive therapy (CT) and rational emotive behavior
therapy (REBT) (Elis, 1987; David, 2007; David & Szentagotai,
2006).

movements, and special accommodations if any. Individual appendices
make it easy to browse works with chorus, solo voices, or solo
instruments. Other appendices list orchestral works by
instrumentation and duration, as well as works intended for youth
concerts. Also included are significant anniversaries of composers,
composer groups for thematic programming, a title index, an

professionals, whether conductors or orchestra librarians,
administrators involved in artistic planning, music students

Coros y Danzas explores how women of the early Franco regime
adapted musical folklore and Spanish nationalism according to
different political circumstances. Author Daniel David Jordan
focuses on the end of the Spanish Civil War until the Pact of
Madrid with the United States-a period where Spain transformed
itself from a supporter of Nazi Germany to a faithful ally of the
Western Bloc. The Seccion Femenina of the fascist Falange party
officially represented the regime's views and policies on female
gender roles. Sending their instructoras de musica to remote
villages throughout the nation's diverse cultural and linguistic
regions to select, transcribe, and compose songs and dances, they
were portrayed as the keepers of Spanish folk music. Through their
Music Department, these women shaped traditional Spanish songs and
dances to promote ideas of Catholic morality throughout the
nation's culturally diverse regions, helped legitimize colonial
involvement in Spain's African territories, and formed political
ties with the Allied powers after World War II. The Seccion
Femenina was never simply a one-sided mouthpiece of the
dictatorship's nationalist, Catholic underpinnings. Despite the
Franco regime's patriarchal nature, many members were highly
independent, negotiating with local cultural elites and foreign
political diplomats to further their own careers and personal
philosophies. Drawing from literature on cultural diplomacy and
nation-building, Coros y Danzas proposes how the Seccion Femenina's
definition of Spanish cultural and racial purity was never
monolithic, but a malleable concept that was nuanced depending on
geographical and social contexts in which its members were
operating.
In Rational and Irrational Beliefs: Research, Theory, and Clinical
Practice, leading scholars, researchers, and practitioners of
rational emotive behavior therapy (REBT) and other
cognitive-behavioral therapies (CBTs) share their perspectives and
empirical findings on the nature of rational and irrational
beliefs, the role of beliefs as mediators of functional and
dysfunctional emotions and behaviors, and clinical approaches to
modifying irrational beliefs, enhancing rational beliefs, and
adaptive coping in the face of stressful life events. Offering a
comprehensive and cohesive approach to understanding REBT/CBT and
its central constructs of rational and irrational beliefs,
contributors review a steadily accumulating empirical literature
indicating that irrational beliefs are associated with a wide range
of problems in living and that exposure to rational self-statements
can decrease anxiety and other psychological symptoms, and play a
valuable role in health promotion and disease prevention.
Contributors also identify new frontiers of research and theory,
including the link between irrational beliefs and other cognitive
processes such as memory, psychophysiological responses, and
evolutionary and cultural determinants of rational and irrational
beliefs.
A truly accessible, state-of-the-science summary of REBT/CBT
research and clinical applications, Rational and Irrational Beliefs
is an invaluable resource for psychotherapy practitioners of all
theoretical orientations, as well as instructors, students, and
academic psychologists.
