A guide that offers a step-by-step process to data-driven
qualitative multimodal discourse analysis Systematically Working
with Multimodal Data is a hands-on guide that is theoretically
grounded and offers a step-by-step process to clearly show how to
do a data-driven qualitative Multimodal Discourse Analysis (MDA).
This full-color introductory textbook is filled with helpful
definitions, notes, discussion points and tasks. With illustrative
research examples from YouTube, an Experimental and a Video
Ethnographic Study, the text offers many examples of how to deal
with small to large amounts of data, including information on how
to transcribe video data multimodally, including online videos, and
how to analyze the data. This textbook contains ample theory,
directions for literature, and a teaching guide to help with a
clear understanding of how to work with multimodal data. Contains
new research data, exceptional illustrations and diagrams Offers
step-by-step processes of working through examples, transcriptions
and online videos Goes into great depth so that students can use
the book as hands-on material to engage with their own data
analysis Designed to be easy-to-use with color-coded definitions,
tasks, discussion points and notes Written for advanced
undergraduate, graduate and PhD level students, as well as
participants in research workshops, Systematically Working with
Multimodal Data is an authoritative guide to understanding
data-driven qualitative Multimodal Discourse Analysis.

Music therapy professionals work with diverse population groups,
and this book provides therapists, and those in training, with the
tools to integrate understanding of different cultural and social
identities into their practice. Topics addressed include heritage,
age, location, identity and health beliefs, and how to understand
the dynamics of the variety of different cultures which music
therapists will encounter in the course of their practice. Each
chapter is written by an expert on a topic of personal interest in
music therapy, explored through a multicultural lens. The chapters
include anecdotes, case studies, and practical activities to try,
while encouraging the reader to reflect on their own identity as a
music therapist. This book is essential reading for all music
therapy professionals wanting to practice in a culturally-informed
manner, and respect the needs, contributions and strengths of every
client.
Wild dolphins are an elusive subject. How can you study the
behaviour of animals usually visible only as a glimpse of rolling
dorsal fins heading for the horizon? Two scientists in the field
have assembled a variety of discoveries about dolphins, from tiny
spinners to familiar bottle-nosed dolphins, and their whale
cousins, including pilot and killer whales. The researchers have
followed dolphins in boats, tracked them from shore, dived among
them, and used genetic analysis and artificial language to read
their life history from a single tooth. This text not only surveys
interesting research on dolphin behaviour, but it also offers lay
readers a look at the scientific mind at work.
This absorbing book is the first comprehensive scientific natural
history of a dolphin species ever written. From their research camp
at Kealake'akua Bay in Hawaii, the authors followed a population of
wild spinner dolphins for more than twenty years. They observed
marked animals by ship, by air, from a cliffside observation post,
by radiotracking their movements, and by studying the details of
their underwater social life with the use of a windowed underwater
vessel. Beginning with a description of the spinner dolphin
species, including its morphology and systematics, the book
examines the ocean environment and organization of dolphin
populations and the way this school-based society of mammals uses
shorelines for rest and instruction of the young. An analysis of
the dolphins' reproductive patterns, which resemble those of other
group-dwelling mammals such as certain primates, suggests a
fission-fusion society. Vision, vocalization, hearing, breathing,
feeding, predation, integration of the school, and school movement
are all examined to give the fullest picture yet published of
dolphin biological life. One of the most striking features of the
species is the length of the period of juvenility and instruction
of the young. The authors argue that dolphins may legitimately be
called "cultural", and they turn in their conclusion to a
comprehensive evolutionary analysis of this marine cultural system
with its behavioral flexibility and high levels of cooperation. In
a challenging new interpretation of how cultural organisms may
evolve, they propose that spinner dolphin society be viewed as a
set of nested levels of organization that influence one another by
selectional biases. The resultingcooperative patterns support both
the sociology and the cultural levels of organization, without
being overridden by the supposed imperative of kin selection.
Twenty years in the making by a renowned scientist and his
associates, this absorbing book is the richest source available of
new scientific insights about the lives of wild dolphins and how
their societies evolved at sea.
Self-described as half-teacher, half-naturalist, Dr. Kenneth S.
Norris is one of the world s foremost authorities on whales and
dolphins, those most appealing creatures with whom we share the
planet. Focusing on the spinner dolphins off Hawaii, Norris carries
us through his earliest contacts with these graceful animals
(including work with Gregory Bateson), his attempts with teams of
students to learn about their complex lives in the sea, and finally
to the tragic dolphin kill in the yellowfin tuna industry."
