Moving beyond progress reports, clinical assessments and practical
goals, this book brings to life the reflective aspects of music
therapy. The result of a collaboration between New Zealand music
therapists, it invites the reader to share their encounters in the
therapy room through a wide variety of writings, including short
stories, poetry and personal reflections. The addition of poems by
a music therapy client adds a rare and innovative dimension to this
book. Grounded in clinical practice, each piece of writing starts
from the lived experience in the therapy room and conveys something
of the ineffable elements of music therapy. Thoughtful, touching
and featuring beautiful illustrations, this book will appeal to
anyone looking for a more personal account of music therapy
practice, including practitioners, clients and students.
Design Philosophy is becoming increasingly important as the nature
of design practice and design education change. "The Design
Philosophy Reader" presents and explains the recent emergence of
Design Philosophy, illustrates the main concerns of Design
Philosophy and demonstrates why Design Philosophy has emerged in
recent years, why it is needed, what it can do, how it can be done
and where it is going. Comprised of an eight thematic sections,
each with a short introduction, to contextualise theory and
highlight its implications, and annotated bibliographies, the
Reader presents both an argument for the need for Design Philosophy
and an overview of its emergence. With texts ranging from writing
on design that is informed by philosophy; philosophically informed
writing on culture, relevant to the thinking of design; ancient and
contemporary philosophy that directly, or by implication, addresses
design; and exegesis and commentary on philosophical texts relevant
to design.
Steel has, over centuries, played a crucial role in shaping our
material, and in particular, urban landscapes. This books
undertakes a cultural and ecological history of the material,
examining the relationship between steel and design at a micro and
macro level - in terms of both what it has been used to design and
how it has functioned as a 'world-making force', necessary to the
development of technologies and ideas. The research for the book is
informed by diverse fields of literature including industry
journals, contemporary accounts and technical literature - all
framed by rich, early accounts of iron and steel making from the
middle ages to the opening of the industrial age, and most notably,
the crucial works of Vannoccio Biringuccio, Georgius Agricola,
Andrew Ure and Harry Scrivenor. In contrast, trans-cultural
accounts of the history of metallurgy from eminent sinologists and
cultural historians like Joseph Neeham and G.E.R. Lloyd are used.
Readings on the pre-history and history of science, as well as
histories and philosophies technology from scholars such as
Siegfried Giedion, Merritt Roe Smith, L.T.C Rolt, Robert B. Gordon
inform the analysis. Social and economic history from historians
such as Eric Hobsbawn, William T. Hogan and David Brody are
consulted; labour process theory is also examined, particularly the
influential writings of F.W. Taylor in the late 19th and early 20th
centuries and his contemporary critics, like David Nobel and Harry
Braverman. Many other disciples also inform the account: histories
of urban design and architecture, transport and military history,
environmental history and geography.
The book contains two short stories, one about a divorce and one

When crime reporter Molly Cates’s father died more than twenty-five years ago, the case was ruled a suicide, and Molly’s efforts to prove otherwise led to nothing but anguish and the breakup of her family. But now new information has come her way and she reopens the investigation–and a rush of old wounds–with a vengeance. Soon the personal becomes dangerously political as Molly’s search for the truth leads her from the stately halls of Texas government to the mean streets of Austin’s down-and-out–and ultimately to a moral dilemma she never could have anticipated.
