Covering the whole of his unique works, this bio-bibliography is an unparalleled resource on the life and music of Leroy Anderson-composer of over 40 popular orchestral miniatures. In his compositions, Leroy Anderson defied the nature of typical orchestral music. His artful combination of a light, pop sound and masterful orchestration into short musical pieces has captivated audiences for years. Young and old, non-musicians and musicians alike have gravitated toward his sound. However, because of the unique nature of his work, Anderson is often overlooked in the study of American music. For the first time, an entire volume has been dedicated to the life and works of Leroy Anderson. This bio-bibliography provides a comprehensive resource for anyone interested in Anderson's unique brand of American orchestral music. A short biography introduces the reader to background information on the composer himself and on his more famous pieces. This is followed by a complete, categorized listing of Anderson's works, a discography, a bibliography of articles written by and about Anderson, and a list of arrangements of his work by Anderson and others. Ten separate appendices at the end of the work ensure ease of navigation and cross-referencing for the reader.

The authors of this volume take as their starting point "striking moments" in their practice with older people, their families and other practitioners. They integrate these with current systemic thinking to offer new perspectives on working with older people in a range of physical health, mental health and social care contexts. This book is practice led and contains a wealth of examples that will be familiar both to practitioners working with older people and to older people themselves and their families. The authors, all experienced clinicians, place an emphasis on how systemic and narrative approaches might relate to these real world dilemmas and point to ways forward in working with older people in a world where social isolation, ageism and discrimination are commonplace.

DISCIPLINE. In April, of 1847, Mr. Aiken having become restless and tired of Peoria, gathered up what remained of his property, and bought a farm of eighty acres on the State Road to Iowa, twenty miles from Peoria, and near a little village called Brimfield. His wife had worked very hard during the winter. She had tried to save what she could, and to earn money by keeping a house full of boarders. Of course the thought of quitting the city was a welcome one to her, brought up as she had been to love the free life of the country; and she entered gladly into the arrangements for moving. It seems to have been her destiny to begin housekeeping in unfinished houses. At Brimfield, although the farm was all under cultivation, there were but two rooms in their dwelling ready for use. Mrs. Aiken took up with great delight the work of fitting up the house and adorning the place, overseeing the setting out of many fruit and shade trees, and the planting of a garden. The village of Brimfield had been settled almost exclusively by New Englanders, who gladly welcomed a Vermont family among them. Mrs. Aiken immediately commenced here the missionary labors that had occupied so much of her time at Peoria. Young as she still was, she had been sought out by both pastor and people to visit the sick, look after the poor, and lay out the dead. A peciiliar gift of sympathy and helpfulness was recognized in her by all. When Mrs. Aiken first went to Brimfield there were no churches in the place. Union meetings were held in the school house, which were sustained by Christians of whatever name. Mrs. Aiken greatly missed her own church, which of course she could attend only occasionally. Dr. Henry Wes- ton, now President of Crozier Theological Seminary, but then pastor of the Peoria ...

In 1941, before America was at war with Germany, a German raider sunk the Egyptian liner Zamzam in the South Atlantic. On board of the vessel were more than 120 American missionaries, among them Mrs. Lillian Danielson and her six children. Eleanor, who was then only nine years old, presents a detailed account of the family's departure from America, the catastrophe, and the distressing and arduous voyage back to safety.
