Children's adventure drama following the unusual relationship
between a military search and rescue robot and an unpopular
schoolkid. When Henry (Bobby Coleman) finds an abandoned robot
called Cody (voice of Jae Head) in a dumpster, he decides to take
it home and fix it. As Cody then becomes conscious, Henry soon
realises that he is much more than a toy when it becomes apparent
that the military lab that created Cody would very much like to get
him back.
This book is concerned with the aporias, or impasses, of
forgiveness, especially in relation to the legacy of the crimes
against humanity perpetrated by the Nazis and their collaborators
during World War II. Banki argues that, while forgiveness of the
Holocaust is and will remain impossible, we cannot rest upon that
impossibility. Rather, the impossibility of forgiveness must be
thought in another way. In an epoch of "worldwidization," we may
not be able simply to escape the violence of scenes and rhetoric
that repeatedly portray apology, reconciliation, and forgiveness as
accomplishable acts. Accompanied by Jacques Derrida's thought of
forgiveness of the unforgivable, and its elaboration in relation to
crimes against humanity, the book undertakes close readings of
literary, philosophical, and cinematic texts by Simon Wiesenthal,
Jean Amery, Vladimir Jankelevitch, Robert Antelme and Eva Mozes
Kor. These texts contend with the idea that the crimes of the Nazis
are inexpiable, that they lie beyond any possible atonement or
repair. Banki argues that the juridical concept of crimes against
humanity calls for a thought of forgiveness-one that would not
imply closure of the infinite wounds of the past. How could such a
forgiveness be thought or dreamed? Banki shows that if today we
cannot simply escape the "worldwidization" of forgiveness, then it
is necessary to rethink what forgiveness is, the conditions under
which it supposedly takes place, and especially its relation to
justice.
A state-of-the-art overview of the latest theory and research in
music psychology, written by leaders in the field. This
authoritative, landmark volume offers a comprehensive
state-of-the-art overview of the latest theory and research in
music perception and cognition. Eminent scholars from a range of
disciplines, employing a variety of methodologies, describe
important findings from core areas of the field, including music
cognition, the neuroscience of music, musical performance, and
music therapy. The book can be used as a textbook for courses in
music cognition, auditory perception, science of music, psychology
of music, philosophy of music, and music therapy, and as a
reference for researchers, teachers, and musicians. The book's
sections cover music perception; music cognition; music,
neurobiology, and evolution; musical training, ability, and
performance; and musical experience in everyday life. Chapters
treat such topics as pitch, rhythm, and timbre; musical expectancy,
musicality, musical disorders, and absolute pitch; brain processes
involved in music perception, cross-species studies of music
cognition, and music across cultures; improvisation, the assessment
of musical ability, and singing; and music and emotions, musical
preferences, and music therapy. Contributors Fleur Bouwer, Peter

The HOPE Teacher Rating Scale is designed to help guide teachers in
identifying gifted students for programming. It is unique in
several ways. First, it is short, with only 11 items that measure
academic and social/affective components of giftedness, making it
easy to use. Second, it is invariant when used to identify students
from low-income and culturally diverse families. Third, it can be
used across grade levels, K-12. Finally, local norms ensure that
the data are relevant to the specific school populations. With
multiple measures and multiple pathways crucial for reversing the
inequities in identifying culturally, economically, and
linguistically diverse students, a teacher-nomination instrument
like the HOPE Teacher Rating Scale is an important component of
identification systems. The HOPE Teacher Rating Scale items have
been well-developed and subjected to research using more than
12,000 diverse students in five validity studies to date. The
manual is useful in understanding and interpreting the electronic
scores generated from teachers' ratings of their students. This
instrument is a must-have for any administrator or gifted-program
coordinator involved in student identification. The kit includes
the manual and 50 forms. To explore the full collection of HOPE
