This second contribution to the "Handbooks for Old Testament
Exegesis" series continues the admirable tradition set by Robert B.
Chisholm Jr. in "Interpreting the Historical Books." A valuable
resource for pastors and students, "Interpreting the Psalms" begins
by explaining the nature of Hebrew poetry and the purpose of the
Psalms. An accomplished scholar of the Psalms, Mark Futato next
explores issues related to properly interpreting Israel's songbook,
and concludes with a sample of moving from interpretation to
proclamation. A glossary is included.
The acoustics of a space can have a real impact on the sounds you
create and capture. Acoustics and Psychoacoustics, Fifth Edition
provides supportive tools and exercises to help you understand how
music sounds and behaves in different spaces, whether during a
performance or a recording, when planning a control room or
listening space, and how it is perceived by performers, listeners,
and recording engineers. With their clear and simple style, Howard
and Angus cover both theory and practice by addressing the science
of sound engineering and music production, the acoustics of musical
instruments, the ways in which we hear musical sounds, the
underlying principles of sound processing, and the application of
these concepts to music spaces to create professional sound. This
new edition is fully revised to reflect new psychoacoustic
information related to timbre and temporal perception, including an
updated discussion of vocal fold vibration principles, samples of
recent acoustic treatments, and a description of variable acoustics
in spaces, as well as coverage of the environment's effect on
production listening, sonification, and other topics. Devoted to
the teaching of musical understanding, an accompanying website
(www.routledge.com/cw/howard) features various audio clips,
tutorial sheets, questions and answers, and trainings that will
take your perception of sound to the next level. This book will
help you: Gain a basic grounding in acoustics and psychoacoustics
with respect to music audio technology systems Incorporate
knowledge of psychoacoustics in future music technology system
designs as appropriate Understand how we hear pitch, loudness, and
timbre Learn to influence the acoustics of an enclosed space
through designed physical modifications

Sub Title: "REFLECTIONS ON A LIFETIME IN MISSIONS" This book tells
stories from a lifetime in missions beginning with childhood in a
home where parents, themselves former missionaries, and 6 children
all involved in Christian ministry, 4 of whom served in cross
cultural missions, were influenced for world missions. The stories
move on through college, marriage and on to overseas ministry in
Latin America which take the reader to remote locations throughout
the continent. Years spent in student ministries in the U.S.,
including directing the Intervarsity student missions conventions
at Urbana, IL, prepared the author for a broader worldwide
ministry. Organizing the Consultation on World Evangelization
(COWE), sponsored by the Lausanne Committee, held in Pattaya,
Thailand, provided intimate contact with world leaders in missions.
As International Director of the World Evangelical Fellowship,
located in Singapore, the author was privileged to travel
extensively around the world which provided many opportunities to
see God at work in a wide variety of places both geographical and
cultural. Stories were gathered from the lives of Christians both
in humble and remote places as well as from the lives of well-known
Christian and mission leaders.

David M. Howard Jr. provides an in-depth introduction to the Old
Testament historical books, focusing first on the overarching
themes of historical narrative in general. He then turns his
attention to each book.
From the conquest of Canaan to the fall of Jerusalem, from war to
peace and back to war, from kings and queens to farmers and
housewives--David Howard covers it all in this invaluable
introduction to the Old Testament historical books.
Written for voice professionals, their teachers and those who care
for their voices, this unique book covers voice acoustics, the
effect of the acoustics of spaces on the voice, and how to make a
voice recording properly. The book is wholly practical and written
in a manner which is rooted in science but which is designed to
enable understanding by non-scientists and voice practitioners
alike. The authors provide an outline of acoustics and the human
voice, before going on to cover ways in which voice users - from
professional and amateur singers and performers, through lawyers,
to school teachers - the largest group reporting to clinics with
vocal problems - can improve vocal efficiency, regardless of
location, and vocal health. Also covered are methods of
amplification, whether through microphones, or simply by posture or
stance and best methods for sound recording.
Singing has been a characteristic behaviour of humanity across
several millennia. Chorus America (2009) estimated that 42.6
million adults and children regularly sing in one of 270,000
choruses in the US, representing more than 1:5 households.
Similarly, recent European-based data suggest that more than 37
million adults take part in group singing. The Oxford Handbook of
Singing is a landmark text on this topic. It is a comprehensive
resource for anyone who wishes to know more about the pluralistic
nature of singing. In part, the narrative adopts a lifespan
approach, pre-cradle to senescence, to illustrate that singing is a
commonplace behaviour which is an essential characteristic of our
humanity. In the overall design of the Handbook, the chapter
contents have been clustered into eight main sections, embracing
fifty-three chapters by seventy-two authors, drawn from across the
world, with each chapter illustrating and illuminating a particular
aspect of singing. Offering a multi-disciplinary perspective
embracing the arts and humanities, physical, social and clinical
sciences, the book will be valuable for a broad audience within
those fields.
This collection of essays advances psalms studies through a
concerted focus on the persuasive aim of psalmic poetry, and it
offers unique perspectives on rhetorical devices within the psalms.
These essays include discussions not only of structure, literary
devices, and rhetorical strategies, but the authors also dialogue
with classical rhetoric, modern psalms research, and current trends
in rhetoric and cognitive science. Part One discusses various
theoretical issues. Several articles discuss lament within the
psalms, including the function of appeals to pathos, lament's
compensation for monotheistic piety, and the need for more
attention to the laments' poetry and rhetoric to understand their
meaning. Other essays address the psalmists' self-presentation, the
ideological identity of the wicked within the psalms, faunal
imagery with regard to tenor and vehicle, the topoi related to God
in call to praise psalms, the function of gaps in prayers for help,
and the rhetoric of kingship psalms as attempts to persuade readers
of the legitimacy and efficacy of kingship. Part Two consists of
rhetorical analyses of several psalms or psalm pairs, each with
distinctive emphases. These include a discussion of Psalm 8 from a
bodily perspective, the nature and implication of nature language
within Psalm 23, the structure of Psalm 102 within Book IV of the
Psalter along with its theology and lament, the forensic case of
Psalms 105 and 106 emphasizing the role of narrative in forensic
rhetoric and comparing the results with classical rhetoric, and an
analysis of the rhetorical aim of Psalm 147, subjected to
developments within cognitive science.
