This book can be used as an accompanying text for the collegiate
marching band techniques course and to help build a successful
marching band program at a high school. Topics include everything
from developing a program handbook to student leadership and adult
staffing, budgets, rehearsal techniques, sample forms, and basic
information regarding the development process of a marching band
show, as well as basic drill design techniques. It also addresses
typical mistakes made by young teachers and offers suggestions on
how to avoid/handle those mistakes. Finally, workbook-style
activities at the end of each chapter help support and reinforce
the material presented.
One of the most important works of the Enlightenment—in the first
new, unabridged English translation in more than two centuries
Published in four volumes between 1784 and 1791, Herder’s Ideas
for the Philosophy of the History of Mankind is one of the most
important works of the Enlightenment—a bold, original, and
encyclopedic synthesis of, and contribution to, the era’s
philosophical debates over nature, history, culture, and the very
meaning of human experience. This is the first new, unabridged
English translation of the Ideas in more than two centuries.
Gregory Martin Moore’s lively, modern English text, extensive
introduction, and commentary bring this neglected masterpiece back
to life. The Ideas—which engages with many of the leading
thinkers of the eighteenth century, such as Montesquieu, Kant,
Gibbon, Ferguson, Buffon, and Rousseau—is many things at once: an
inquiry into the unity and purpose of history, a reflection on
human nature and the place of humans in the cosmic order, an
examination of what was beginning to be called “culture,” and a
narrative of cultural progress across time among different peoples.
Along the way, Herder considers a dizzying variety of topics,
including the formation of the earth and solar system, species
change, race, the immortality of the soul, the establishment of
society, and the pursuit of happiness. Above all, the Ideas is an
anthropology—what Alexander Pope had termed an “essay on
man”—pervaded by an appropriately humane spirit. A fresh and
much-needed modern translation of the complete Ideas, this volume
reintroduces English readers to a classic of Enlightenment thought.
Action research was conceived as a method of collaborative,
self-reflective problem-solving in a community context. Yet many
believe it has evolved too far away from its original, directly
activist roots. As a direct response to calls for a rejuvenation of
the social agenda of 'action research', this volume provides an
all-inclusive road map to generating and implementing politically
active grass-roots research activities. It is a priceless practical
guide for the newly minted researcher wanting to make a tangible
difference in their profession and in the world. Where some action
research models have been criticized for losing focus on the
participatory and social justice roots of this type of research,
this book puts social justice activism squarely center stage,
guiding the researcher through the theoretical, methodological and
practical considerations and constraints of developing,
implementing and sustaining research in the cultural professions.
Lcating and contextualizing the history and theory of action
research, critical theory and other related methodologies and
concepts, this volume takes the reader on a journey that begins
with the formation of a question, puzzle or research idea right
through to the publication of a report on your finished project.
Including discrete sections on every stage in the process, from
generating a social justice activism agenda, through forming a team
and empowering participants, to ensuring the implementation of your
agenda and publishing and disseminating your work. Engaging their
readers with a fresh acronym, PAtR-Participatory Activist
Research-the authors give fresh impetus to those looking for a
systematic way to understand and shape practice in their daily
work, their profession and their world. This is an outstanding book
that represents a critical research process sorely needed in the
academy today. Any researcher interested in making an intervention
into the egregious social conditions wrought by neoliberal
capitalism would do well to read this book. An important
contribution to the literature on research methodology. Peter

Without Johann Gottfried Herder (1744-1803), we simply would not
understand Shakespeare in the way we do. In fact, much literature
and art besides Shakespeare would neither look the same nor be the
same without the influence of Herder's "Shakespeare" (1773). One of
the most important and original works in the history of literary
criticism, this passionate essay pioneered a new, historicist
approach to cultural artifacts by arguing that they should be
judged not by their conformity to a set of conventions imported
from another time and place, but by the effectiveness of their
response to their own historical and cultural context. Rejecting
the authority of a dominant and stifling French neoclassicism that
judged eighteenth-century plays by the criteria of Aristotle,
Herder's "Shakespeare" signaled a break with the Enlightenment, the
approach of Romanticism, and the arrival of a distinctly modern
form of aesthetic appreciation. With a vivid new translation and a
fascinating introduction by Gregory Moore, this edition of Herder's
classic will speak to today's readers with undiminished power and
persuasiveness.
U.S. aircraft parts figure prominently in U.S. competitiveness in
global aerospace trade. In contrast to other aerospace sectors, job
creation at small and medium enterprises can especially benefit
from increased exports of aircraft parts. This book provides
commentary on changing market dynamics. It helps inform U.S.
suppliers of aerospace products of what the U.S. Department of
Commerces International Trade Administration (ITA) considers to be
leading markets for exports of U.S. aircraft parts. Top markets for
future growth in U.S. aircraft parts exports are generally those
that are leading exports markets overall for U.S. products (e.g.,
large European economies, Japan, China and Singapore).

By the end of Gregory Martin's unsentimental but affecting memoir, only thirty-one people live in remote Mountain City, Nevada, and none of them are children. The town's abandoned mines are testimony to the cycle of promise, exploitation, abandonment, and attrition that has been the repeated story of the West. Yet the comings and goings at Tremewan's, the general store Martin's family has run for more than forty years, reveal a remarkably vibrant community that includes salty widows, Native Americans from a nearby reservation, and a number of Martin's deeply idiosyncratic Basque-descended relatives. Martin observes them as they persist in a difficult but rewarding existence and celebrates, with neither pity nor regret, the large and small dramas of their lives and their stubborn attachment to a place that seems likely to disappear in his lifetime.
