Sound Heritage is the first study of music in the historic house
museum, featuring contributions from both music and heritage
scholars and professionals in a richly interdisciplinary approach
to central issues. It examines how music materials can be used to
create narratives about past inhabitants and their surroundings -
including aspects of social and cultural life beyond the activity
of music making itself - and explores how music as sound, material,
and practice can be more consistently and engagingly integrated
into the curation and interpretation of historic houses. The volume
is structured around a selection of thematic chapters and a series
of shorter case studies, each focusing on a specific house, object
or project. Key themes include: Different types of historic house,
including the case of the composer or musician house; what can be
learned from museums and galleries about the use of sound and music
and what may not transfer to the historic house setting Musical
instruments as part of a wider collection; questions of restoration
and public use; and the demands of particular collection types such
as sheet music Musical objects and pieces of music as storytelling
components, and the use of music to affectively colour narratives
or experiences. This is a pioneering study that will appeal to all
those interested in the intersection between Music and Museum and
Heritage Studies. It will also be of interest to scholars and
researchers of Music History, Popular Music, Performance Studies
and Material Culture.

An exploration of the legacy of The Waste Land on the centenary of
its original publication, looking at the impact it had had upon
criticism and new poetries across one hundred years. T. S. Eliot
first published his long poem The Waste Land in 1922. The
revolutionary nature of the work was immediately recognised, and it
has subsequently been acknowledged as one of the most influential
poems of the twentieth century, and as crucial for the
understanding of modernism. The essays in this collection variously
reflect on The Waste Land one hundred years after its original
publication. At this centenary moment, the contributors both
celebrate the richness of the work, its sounds and rare use of
language, and also consider the poem's legacy in Britain, Ireland,
and India. The work here, by an international team of writers from
the UK, North America, and India, deploys a range of approaches.
Some contributors seek to re-read the poem itself in fresh and
original ways; others resist the established drift of previous
scholarship on the poem, and present new understandings of the
process of its development through its drafts, or as an
orchestration on the page. Several contributors question received
wisdom about the poem's immediate legacy in the decade after
publication, and about the impact that it has had upon criticism
and new poetries across the first century of its existence. An
Introduction to the volume contextualises the poem itself, and the
background to the essays. All pieces set out to review the nature
of our understanding of the poem, and to bring fresh eyes to its
brilliance, one hundred years on. Contributors: Rebecca Beasley,
Rosinka Chaudhuri, William Davies, Hugh Haughton, Marjorie Perloff,
Andrew Michael Roberts, Peter Robinson, Michael Wood.
Who am I? Everyone asks that question, no matter their age or status in life. If we truly are supposed to be real with others, shouldn’t that start with learning how to be real with ourselves? We think so. But we have to be willing to look inside and ask, "Okay, God, who am I? What is it that I don’t see about myself that you see?"
A Book Called YOU will help us learn about:
- Who we are as individuals
- How a biblical view of self-discovery can improve every part of our lives.
- Assigns Enneagram numbers to biblical characters
- Provides heartfelt, humorous, and prescriptive Enneagram perspective
- Helps readers be more authentic and honest with God, themselves, and others.
Based on his widely successful teaching series "A Series Called You" and his personal experience using the Enneagram personality assessment tool in his marriage and other personal relationships, pastor Matt Brown offers a groundbreaking, entertaining, and heartfelt guide that highlights biblical truths alongside the Enneagram to help us better understand ourselves and how we relate to the people around us.

An appropriate motto for Augustine's great work On the Trinity is
'faith in search of understanding'. In this treatise Augustine
offers a part-theological, part-philosophical account of how God
might be understood in analogy to the human mind. On the Trinity
can be fairly described as the first modern philosophy of mind: it
is the first work in philosophy to recognize the 'problem of other
minds', and the first to offer the 'argument from analogy' as a
response to that problem. Other subjects that it discusses include
the nature of the mind and the nature of the body, the doctrine of
'illumination', and thinking as inner speech. This volume presents
the philosophical section of the work, and in a historical and
philosophical introduction Gareth Matthews places Augustine's
arguments in context and assesses their influence on later
thinkers.
