For the last 25 years, a constraints-based framework has helped to
inform the way that many sport scientists seek to understand
performance, learning design and the development of expertise and
talent in sport. The Constraints-Led Approach: Principles for
Sports Coaching and Practice Design provides students and
practitioners with the theoretical knowledge required to implement
constraints-led approaches in their work. Seeking to bridge the
divide between theory and practice, the book sets out an
'environment design framework', including practical tools and
guidance for the application of the framework in coaching and skill
acquisition settings. It includes chapters on constraints-led
approaches in golf, athletics and hockey, and provides applied
reading for undergraduate and postgraduate students of motor
learning, skill acquisition and developing sport expertise.
Providing a thorough grounding in the theory behind constraints-led
approaches to skill acquisition, and a foundational cornerstone in
the Routledge Studies in Constraints-Based Methodologies in Sport
series, this is a vital pedagogical resource for students and
practising sports coaches, physical education teachers and sport
scientists alike.

Conductors John Yaffe and David Daniels have created a one-stop
sourcebook for orchestras, opera companies, conductors, and
librarians who research and/or prepare programs of vocal
excerpts-such as solos, ensembles, and choruses-for concert
performance. In this book, readers will find detailed information
on a vast repertoire of vocal pieces commonly extracted from
operas, operettas, musicals, and oratorios-more than 1,750 excerpts
from 450 parent works. Modeled on Daniels' Orchestral Music, Arias,
Ensembles, & Choruses includes basic historical details about
each parent work as well as extract titles, subtitles, voice types,
keys, durations, locations in the original work (with page numbers
in both full scores and piano-vocal scores), and exact
instrumentation. It also lists the publishers that make available
the orchestral materials for just the excerpt being programmed,
independent of the full parent work. Until now, conductors and
orchestra librarians commonly had to first leaf through full
scores, searching for one elusive three-minute aria after another,
only to then consult multiple publishers' catalogues to compile
crucial information on all the excerpts proposed for a concert or
recording. This book constitutes a single source for finding that
information. In many cases, the individual entries include valuable
insider information on common performance practice, including
start- and stop-points, transpositions, and conventional cuts.
Searching for repertoire is made easy with the detailed title index
and appendixes devoted to ensemble excerpts, all categorized by
personnel (e.g., duets, trios, quartets, quintets, sextets,
choruses) and language (Czech, English, French, German, Italian,
Latin, Russian). This book is the ideal tool for the working
conductor and orchestral librarian, as well as music program
directors at colleges and conservatories, opera companies, and
symphony orchestras. As of October 2015, a new printing of this
book has occurred to correct errors in the index. A PDF version of
the new index is available to previous purchasers of the volume.

One hundred years after the Azusa Street Revival stunned Los
Angeles and changed Western Christianity, Pentecostalism has become
the fastest growing religious movement in the world. However, many
Pentecostal denominations in the United States are in a slow
decline. Will Pentecostalism survive in North America in the
twenty-first century? If so, what forms will it take? The Future of
Pentecostalism in the United States brings together leading
scholars of charismatic and Pentecostal Christianity to discuss and
forecast these issues. The book looks at American Pentecostalism
from a variety of disciplinary perspectives including sociology,
theology, history, and the arts. The book also considers various
traditions and sub-movements within U.S. Pentecostalism, such as
African American Pentecostal and charismatic Latino churches, urban
postmodern charismatic congregations, and the role of Pentecostal
institutions of higher education.

Coriolanus has always attracted strong interest, whether seen as
the last of Shakespeare's tragedies, or as his most political play.
In performance it has been constantly reinterpreted and has often
strayed far from Shakespeare's text. The Royal Shakespeare Company
production, mounted by Terry Hands with Alan Howard in the title
role, was acclaimed by audiences and critics in Stratford and
London for its forcefulness and fidelity to Shakespeare's play.
David Daniell accompanied the Company on its subsequent tour in
Europe where audiences were stimulated by this powerful production
of a play that has a startling European history of heavy political
adaptation. Living closely with the Company, David Daniell gained a
remarkable standpoint for approaching the play and its performance
as well as for drawing a fascinating account of a great theatre
company on the move. His interpretation of the play and theatrical
technique draws extensively on the experiences of the actors, other
members of the company and its European hosts, audiences and
critics. Coriolanus in Europe provides some penetrating insights
into the problems and achievements of present-day theatre in
general and of one outstanding Company in particular.

sources, institutions and organizations, and a directory of
publishers necessary for the orchestra professional. This trusted
work used around the globe is a must-have for orchestral
professionals, whether conductors or orchestra librarians,
administrators involved in artistic planning, music students
considering orchestral conducting, authors of program notes,
publishers and music dealers, and instructors of conducting.
This edition of one of Shakespeare's best known and most frequently
performed plays argues for "Julius Caesar" as a new kind of
political play, a radical departure from contemporary practice,
combining fast action and immediacy with compelling rhetorical
language, and finding a clear context for its study of tyranny in
the last decade of the reign of Elizabeth I. The richly
experimental verse and the complex structure of the play are
analyzed in depth, and a strong case is made for this to be the
first play to be performed at Shakespeare's Globe Theatre.
The introduction to the play begins with a brief overview of its
themes, characters, verse, and history. The editor proceeds to
consider the dating of the play and why Shakespeare chose to write
"Julius Caesar" in 1599, looking at the works that preceded it as
well as other historical context. In the next sections, Daniell
examines the play's language and structures, with extensive
comparison to the other tragedies and histories. The editor then
discusses the sources of the play, focusing primarily on Plutarch's
"Lives." After a survey of the critical and performance histories
of the play, Daniell concludes his introduction with a section on
textual problems and interpretations. Also included in this edition
are an appendix, Plutarch's "Lives of the Noble Grecians and
Romanes," and a list of abbreviations and references. The Arden
Shakespeare has developed a reputation as the pre-eminent critical
edition of Shakespeare for its exceptional scholarship, reflected
in the thoroughness of each volume. An introduction comprehensively
contextualizes the play, chronicling the history and culture that
surrounded and influenced Shakespeare at the time of its writing
and performance, and closely surveying critical approaches to the
work. Detailed appendices address problems like dating and casting,
and analyze the differing Quarto and Folio sources. A full
commentary by one or more of the play's foremost contemporary
scholars illuminates the text, glossing unfamiliar terms and
drawing from an abundance of research and expertise to explain
allusions and significant background information. Highly
informative and accessible, Arden offers the fullest experience of
Shakespeare available to a reader.

The dramatic life of William Tyndale, the first person to translate
the Bible into English from the original Greek and Hebrew "A
massive contribution to the history of the Reformation in
England."-J. Enoch Powell, Times Higher Education Supplement
William Tyndale (1494-1536) was the first person to translate the
Bible into English from its original Greek and Hebrew and the first
to print the Bible in English, which he did in exile. Giving the
laity access to the word of God outraged the clerical establishment
in England: he was condemned, hunted, and eventually murdered.
However, his masterly translation formed the basis of all English
bibles--including the "King James Bible," many of whose finest
passages were taken unchanged, though unacknowledged, from
Tyndale's work. This important book, published in the quincentenary
year of his birth, is the first major biography of Tyndale in sixty
years. It sets the story of his life in the intellectual and
literary contexts of his immense achievement and explores his
influence on the theology, literature, and humanism of Renaissance
and Reformation Europe. David Daniell, editor of Tyndale's New
Testament and Tyndale's Old Testament, eloquently describes the
dramatic turns in Tyndale's life. Born in England and educated at
Oxford, Tyndale was ordained as a priest. When he decided to
translate the Bible into English, he realized that it was
impossible to do that work in England and moved to Germany, living
in exile there and in the Low Countries while he translated and
printed first the New Testament and then half of the Old Testament.
These were widely circulated-and denounced-in England. Yet Tyndale
continued to write from abroad, publishing polemics in defense of
the principles of the English reformation. He was seized in
Antwerp, imprisoned in Vilvoorde Castle near Brussels, and burnt at
the stake for heresy in 1536. Daniell discusses Tyndale's
achievement as biblical translator and expositor, analyzes his
writing, examines his stylistic influence on writers from
Shakespeare to those of the twentieth century, and explores the
reasons why he has not been more highly regarded. His book brings
to life one of the great geniuses of the age.
This translation of the New Testament into English from its
original Greek was printed in Germany in 1534 and smuggled back
into England. It therefore escaped the fate of Tyndale's previous
version, which had been seized and publicly burnt by the
authorities. The 1534 edition outraged the clerical establishment
by giving the laity access to the word of God, in print in English
for the first time. Tyndale, who was already in exile for political
reasons, was hunted down and subsequently burned at the stake for
blasphemy. For the next eighty years-the years of Shakespeare among
others-Tyndale's masterly translation formed the basis of all
English bibles. And when the authorized King James Bible was
published in 1611, many of its finest passages were taken
unchanged, though unacknowledged, from Tyndale's work. Although,
therefore, this astounding work of pioneering scholarship was the
basis of all subsequent English bibles until after the Second World
War, and though it was the version of the Bible used by some of our
greatest poets, it is today virtually unknown because of its
suppression for political reasons because of its difficult early
sixteenth-century spelling. Now for the first time this version is
published in modern spelling, as the modern book it once was, so
that this masterly work of English prose by one of the great
geniuses of the as is available to today's reader.
