Bullying is a contemporary wildfire of a social problem that
continues to burn, scar, and even kill U.S. schoolchildren on a
daily basis. Not only do the targets of bullying suffer in their
abilities to grow, learn and succeed; so do bystanders, and even
the bullies themselves. Generation BULLIED 2.0 details the nature
of bullying as a tremendously negative force in schools today and
offers practical, research-based strategies for constructing and
cultivating cultures that support learning, safety, and dignity for
everyone. Analyzing the nature and inadequacy of current
anti-bullying policies, Generation BULLIED 2.0 explores how
stereotyping and other negative behaviors are reinforced and
sustained in both large and small ways at school. Its critical
narratives of commonly bullied individuals and groups are
representative of events that transpire every day across the
country's education system. Focusing on the most common targets of
bullying: race, gender, sexual orientation, physical appearance,
physical and mental disability, and cyber-abuse, this book does not
offer simplistic solutions. Instead, it offers empowerment to
readers while providing tools for elevating social justice and
preventing bullying from taking root as a supposedly "normal" part
of life in our society.

Heinrich Schenker's theoretical and analytical works claim to
resubstantiate the unique artistic presence of the canonic work,
and thus reject those musical disciplines such as psychoacoustics
and systematic musicology which derive from the natural sciences.
In this respect his writing reflects the counter-positivism endemic
to the German academic discourse of the first decades of the
twentieth century. The rhetoric of this stance, however, conceals a
sophisticated programme wherein Schenker situates his project in
relation to these sciences, arguing his reading of the musical text
as a synthesis of a descriptive psychology and an explanatory
historiography (which itself embeds both paleographic and
philological assumptions). This book rereads Schenker's project as
an attempt to reconstruct music theory as a discipline against the
background of the empirical musical sciences of the later
nineteenth century.

This book serves as an introduction to the work of Godfrey
Winham, an influential figure in American music theory circles in
the 1960s. Little published in his lifetime, Winham left behind, at
his premature death in 1974, a massive collection of notes:
correspondence, unfinished articles, sketches for books, etc. These
notes were transcribed and deposited in the Special Collections of
Firestone Library at Princeton University. They cover a fascinating
range of subjects: exercises in analytical logic, thoughts on the
construction of a formally consistent music theory, studies of
particular pieces, and an epistemological reconception of
Schenker's analysis.
In "The Music Theory of Godfrey Winham," Leslie David Blasius
attempts to synthesize the various aspects of the theorist's
thinking into a single coherent, if unfinished, endeavor. Blasius
concentrates in particular on Winham's attempts to define formally
the basic terms of music theory, his axiomatic phenomenology of
pitch and harmonic relations, his tentative steps towards an
axiomatic phenomenology of rhythm, and his fresh consideration of
the reciprocal relationship between theory and analysis. In so
doing, Blasius gives a clear picture of the materials in the
archives, particularly when they exhibit Winham's multiple attempts
to come to terms with a specific problem. The volume includes a set
of complete excerpts of materials cited in Blasius's text and an
index for the entire collection.
