and the neighbourhood monsters won't let her be! Every night they
sneak in, growling and belching and making a ruckus. Winifred
constructs clever traps, but nothing stops these crafty creatures.
What's a girl to do? (Hint: Monsters hate kisses!) The delightfully
sweet ending will have every kid - and little monster - begging for
an encore.
The field of ethics is expanding and has assumed new significance
as a compulsory part of study for psychiatrists and all mental
health professionals. Ethics and Mental Health: The Patient,
Profession and Community presents a new approach to these ethical
dilemmas that have become an increasing part of modern practice.
The book begins by exploring current normative theories of
psychiatric ethics. It describes how empirical methods can make
codes of conduct more representative of professional values.
Considering their previous work, concepts of justice, and the
moderate communitarian position, the authors outline their
methodology, which argues that mental health professionals exist
within a perpetual state of tension, caused by conflicts between
the Hippocratic Oath, personal values, notions of social justice,
and the potentially harmful influences of their social role.
Applying their theory to the area of involuntary psychiatric
treatment, the authors address the context of psychiatric practice
and the moral agency of psychiatrists. They outline the different
influences on the craft of psychiatry to better illustrate the
diverse forces that impact moral deliberation and the practice of
ethics in mental health. In doing so, they cover areas as diverse
as cultural, economic, scientific, and political domains. The final
section of the book applies the methodology to contemporary
problems in mental health ethics, formulating how mental health
clinicians can approach these quandaries. The book brings a new
perspective to classic dilemmas from the past, to contemporary
challenges, and in anticipation, to new concerns that will
inevitably arise in a dynamic and complex professional context.
This companion volume to The Courtly Consort Suite in
German-Speaking Europe surveys an area of music neglected by modern
scholars: the consort suites and dance music by musicians working
in the seventeenth-century German towns. Conditions of work in the
German towns are examined in detail, as are the problems posed by
the many untrained travelling players who were often little more
than beggars. The central part of the book explores the
organisation, content and assembly of town suites into carefully
ordered printed collections, which refutes the concept of the
so-called 'classical' suite. The differences between court and town
suites are dealt with alongside the often-ignored variation suite
from the later decades of the seventeenth century and the separate
suite-writing traditions of Leipzig and Hamburg. While the
seventeenth-century keyboard suite has received a good deal of
attention from modern scholars, its often symbiotic relationship
with the consort suite has been ignored. This book aims to redress
the balance and to deal with one very important but often ignored
aspect of seventeenth-century notation: the use of blackened notes,
which are rarely notated in a meaningful way in modern editions,
with important implications for performance.
From Super Bowl champion and literacy crusader Malcolm Mitchell
comes an exciting new story that shows even reluctant readers that
there is a book out there for everyone! Meet Henley, an all-around
good kid, who hates to read. When he's supposed to be reading, he
would rather do anything else. But one day, he gets the scariest
homework assignment in the world: find your favorite book to share
with the class tomorrow. What's a kid to do? How can Henley find a
story that speaks to everything inside of him? Malcolm Mitchell,
bestselling author of The Magician's Hat, pulls from his own
literary triumph to deliver another hilarous and empowering picture
book for readers of all abilities. Through his advocacy and his
books, Malcolm imparts the important message that every story has
the potential to become a favorite.
The contributions in this volume suggest that "the ethics project
in legal education" is increasingly an international one. Even
though the strength of commitment by both the profession and the
legal academy to "ethics learning" within law schools varies, two
fundamental questions confront all who work in this area. First,
what is it that we want our students to learn (or, perhaps, in what
manner do we want our students to develop) from the teaching of
"legal ethics"? Second, how can we create a learning environment
that will encourage the nature and quality of learning we think is
important? All the contributors to this volume take a strong stand
on the importance of ethical legal practice and the role of law
schools in developing students' capacities in this area. They share
a belief in the essential need to encourage law students to engage
with the moral dimensions of legal practice. The questions that
these scholars grapple with are therefore not of the "should we be
teaching this?" variety, but "how might we best to go about doing
this, so that our efforts within law schools really make some
difference?" Each of the chapters in this volume adds uniquely to
our understanding of these matters.
It has been over thirty years since the founding crises that
birthed legal ethics as both a field of study and a discrete field
of law. In that time thinking about the ethical dimension of legal
practice has taken several turns: from justifications of zealous
advocacy, to questions of process and connections to specifically
legal values, to more recently consideration of legal conduct as
part of a wider field of virtue. Parallel to this dynamism of
thought, there has also been significant changes in how legal
professions, especially within those that possess a common law
heritage, have been regulated and the values and conceptions of
legitimate conduct that has informed this regulation. This volume
represents an opportunity for a comprehensive review of legal
ethics as an international movement. Contributors include many of
the key participants to the legal ethics field from the United
States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and South
Africa, including David Luban and Deborah Rhode, as well as many of
the recognised emerging thinkers. The theme of the book is taking
stock of the last thirty years of legal ethics practice and
scholarship and also a forum for new ideas and new thinking
regarding the conduct of lawyers and the moral and social
responsibility of the legal profession. The contributions also
consider the topic of dynamism. Over the last decade significant
developments in both the expectations of professional conduct and
the regulation of the profession has been experienced in all
jurisdictions, which has seen traditional, and once sacred,
conceptions of lawyering challenged and re-evaluated. The
contributors also look at the theme of affirmation. Within an
increasingly complex environment of change and dynamism, this
volume reaffirms that there is value within the field of legal
ethics. That is the project of reflecting on the unique ethical and
conduct requirements of lawyering can not be submerged into a
broader field of applied philosophy, management or regulatory
studies. While this volume does not deny the opportunities that
exist for interdisciplinary engagement with philosophy, social
science or politics, it affirms legal ethics as a legitimate and
highly relevant field of inquiry.

Dance music at the courts of seventeenth-century Germany is a genre
that is still largely unknown. Dr Michael Robertson sets out to
redress the balance and study the ensemble dance suites that were
played at the German courts between the end of the Thirty Years War
and the early years of the eighteenth century. At many German
courts during this time, it was fashionable to emulate everything
that was French. As part of this process, German musicians visited
Paris throughout the second half of the seventeenth century, and
brought French courtly music back with them on their return. For
the last two decades of the century, this meant the works of
Jean-Baptiste Lully, and his music and its influence spread rapidly
through the courts of Europe. Extracts from Lully's dramatic stage
works were circulated in both published editions and manuscript.
These extracts are considered in some detail, especially in terms
of their relationship to the suite. The nobility also played their
part in this process: French musicians and German players with
specialist knowledge were often hired to coach their German
colleagues in the art of playing in the French manner, the
franzAsischer Art. The book examines the dissemination of dance
music, instrumentation and performance practice, and the
differences between the French and Italian styles. It also studies
the courtly suites before the advent of Lullism and the differences
between the suites of court composers and town musicians. With the
possible exception of Georg Muffat's two Florilegium collections of
suites, much of the dance music of the German Lullists is largely
unknown; court composers such as Cousser, Erlebach, Johann Fischer
and Johann Caspar Ferdinand Fischer all wrote fine collections of
ensemble suites, and these are examined in detail. Examples from
these suites, some published for the first time, are given
throughout the book in order to demonstrate the music's quality and
show that its neglect is completely unjustified.

Religious liberalism in America has often been equated with an
ecumenical Protestant establishment. By contrast, American
Religious Liberalism draws attention to the broad diversity of
liberal cultures that shapes America s religious movements. The
essays gathered here push beyond familiar tropes and boundaries to
interrogate religious liberalism s dense cultural leanings by
looking at spirituality in the arts, the politics and piety of
religious cosmopolitanism, and the interaction between liberal
religion and liberal secularism. Readers will find a kaleidoscopic
view of many of the progressive strands of America s religious past
and present in this richly provocative volume."
The entertaining story of four utopian writers-Edward Bellamy,
William Morris, Edward Carpenter, and Charlotte Perkins Gilman-and
their continuing influence today In this lively literary history,
Michael Robertson introduces readers to a vital strain of
utopianism that seized the imaginations of four American and
British writers during an extraordinary period of literary and
social experiment. The publication of Edward Bellamy's Looking
Backward in 1888 opened the floodgates to an unprecedented wave of
utopian writing. William Morris, the Arts and Crafts pioneer, was a
committed socialist whose News from Nowhere envisions a workers'
Arcadia. Edward Carpenter boldly argued that homosexuals constitute
a utopian vanguard. Charlotte Perkins Gilman, a women's rights
activist and the author of "The Yellow Wallpaper," wrote numerous
utopian fictions, including Herland, a visionary tale of an
all-female society. These writers believed in radical gender and
class equality, envisioning new forms of familial and romantic
relationships, and were committed to living a simple life rooted in
a restored natural world. And their legacy remains with us today,
from Occupy Wall Street to the Radical Faeries.
The entertaining story of four utopian writers-Edward Bellamy,
William Morris, Edward Carpenter, and Charlotte Perkins Gilman-and
their continuing influence today For readers reared on the
dystopian visions of Nineteen Eighty-Four and The Handmaid's Tale,
the idea of a perfect society may sound more sinister than
enticing. In this lively literary history of a time before
"Orwellian" entered the cultural lexicon, Michael Robertson
reintroduces us to a vital strain of utopianism that seized the
imaginations of late nineteenth-century American and British
writers. The Last Utopians delves into the biographies of four key
figures--Edward Bellamy, William Morris, Edward Carpenter, and
Charlotte Perkins Gilman-who lived during an extraordinary period
of literary and social experimentation. The publication of
Bellamy's Looking Backward in 1888 opened the floodgates of an
unprecedented wave of utopian writing. Morris, the Arts and Crafts
pioneer, was a committed socialist whose News from Nowhere
envisions a workers' Arcadia. Carpenter boldly argued that
homosexuals constitute a utopian vanguard. Gilman, a women's rights
activist and the author of "The Yellow Wallpaper," wrote numerous
utopian fictions, including Herland, a visionary tale of an
all-female society. These writers, Robertson shows, shared a belief
in radical equality, imagining an end to class and gender
hierarchies and envisioning new forms of familial and romantic
relationships. They held liberal religious beliefs about a
universal spirit uniting humanity. They believed in social
transformation through nonviolent means and were committed to
living a simple life rooted in a restored natural world. And their
legacy remains with us today, as Robertson describes in
entertaining firsthand accounts of contemporary utopianism, ranging
from Occupy Wall Street to a Radical Faerie retreat.
This is the first critical study of Stephen Crane's nonfiction work
-- his urban reportage, travel writing, and war correspondence.
Going beyond biography and literary criticism to trace a literary
revolution that is a resonating strain in the genealogy of modern
American literature, Robertson reveals the broad climate of change
that had begun to blur the line between nonfiction writing and
fiction in Crane's era. He also explores the life of two writers
directly influenced by Crane: Ernest Hemingway and Theodore
Dreiser.
