This book elaborates Jean Amery's critique of philosophy and his
discussion of some central philosophical themes in At the Mind's
Limits and his other writings. It shows how Amery elaborates the
shortcomings and unfitness of philosophical theories to account for
torture, the experience of homelessness, and other indignities, and
their inability to assist with overcoming resentment. It thus
teases out the philosophical import of Jean Amery's critique of
philosophy, which constitutes his own philosophical testament of
being an inmate at Auschwitz. This book situates At the Mind's
Limits in the context of twentieth-century Continental philosophy.
On the one hand, it elaborates Amery's engagement with key
philosophical figures. On the other hand, it shows how thoroughly
Amery denounces the limits of the philosophical enterprise, and its
impotence in capturing and accounting for the crimes of the Third
Reich.
Rastafari is an Afrocentric social and religious movement that
emerged among Afro-Jamaican communities in the 1930s and has many
adherents in the Caribbean and worldwide today. This book is a
groundbreaking account of Rastafari, demonstrating that it provides
a normative conception of Blackness for people of African descent
that resists Eurocentric and colonial ideas. Vivaldi Jean-Marie
examines Rastafari’s core beliefs and practices, arguing that
they constitute a distinctively Black system of norms and
values—at once an ethos and a cosmology. He traces Rastafari’s
origins in enslaved people’s strategies of resistance, Jamaican
Revivalism, and Garveyism, showing how it incorporates ancestral
religious traditions and emancipatory politics. An Ethos of
Blackness draws out the significance of practices such as avoiding
technological exploitation of natural artifacts and the belief in
living in harmony with the natural order. Jean-Marie considers
Rastafari’s theology, exploring its reinterpretation of biblical
scriptures and its foundations in the rejection of Christianity’s
Eurocentrism and racism. However, he insists, before Rastafari can
fulfill its promise of liberation for people of African descent, it
must confront its failure to include women and redress sexism.
Through rigorous and sensitive reflections on Rastafari culture and
cosmology, this book offers deeply original insights into the Black
theological imagination.

As discrete mathematics rapidly becomes a required element of
undergraduate mathematics programs, algebraic software systems
replace compiled languages and are now most often the computational
tool of choice. Newcomers to university level mathematics,
therefore, must not only grasp the fundamentals of discrete
mathematics, they must also learn to use an algebraic manipulator
and develop skills in abstract reasoning. Experimental Mathematics
with MAPLE uniquely responds to these needs. Following an emerging
trend in research, it places abstraction and axiomatization at the
end of a learning process that begins with computer
experimentation. It introduces the foundations of discrete
mathematics and, assuming no previous knowledge of computing,
gradually develops basic computational skills using the latest
version of the powerful MAPLE software. The author's approach is to
expose readers to a large number of concrete computational examples
and encourage them to isolate the general from the particular, to
synthesize computational results, formulate conjectures, and
attempt rigorous proofs. Using this approach, Experimental
Mathematics with MAPLE enables readers to build a foundation in
discrete mathematics, gain valuable experience with algebraic
computing, and develop a familiarity with basic abstract concepts,
notation, and jargon. Its engaging style, numerous exercises and
examples, and Internet posting of selected solutions and MAPLE
worksheets make this text ideal for use both in the classroom and
for self-study.

Vivaldi's Magnificat probably dates from shortly after the 1726
death of composer C.P. Grua, which resulted in his having to
provide sacred music for the Venetian orphanage and convent he
enjoyed a long-standing relation with: the Ospedale della Pieta.
There are actually three versions of the work: 1) for single chorus
and orchestra (RV 610); 2) for double chorus and two orchestras (RV
610a); and the final version (RV 611), which takes six movements
from replaces the other three movements woth solos written for
specific singers at the Pieta: Apollonia, la Bolognesa, Chiaretta,
Ambrosina and Albetta.The present edition, originally published by
E.F. Kalmus in 1969, retains the material from the original
single-choris version (RV 610), while including the added solo
material Vivaldi inserted for RV 611 as alternatives, making it
eminently practical for today's choral groups. Now available in a
digitally-enhanced reprint.
Kierkegaard is an exegetical interpretation of S ren Kierkegaard's
Philosophical Fragments and Concluding Unscientific Postscript.
Vivaldi Jean-Marie elaborates on the philosophical and religious
arguments of the pseudonym Johannes Climacus to demonstrate that
history is propatory toward the achievement of eternal happiness.
The author emphasizes Kierkegaard's heritage in the Post-Kantian
tradition by discussing his critique of the Romantics and German
Idealists. The exposition of Philosophical Fragments and Concluding
Unscientific Postscript is carried out on the basis of the ongoing
conversation between Climacus and the Post-Kantian tradition to
argue that Climacus wishes to show the limitation of history and
philosophy and the necessity of subjective appropriation to
transcend the shortcoming of history and philosophy. Climacus's
assessment of the prevailing Christian attitudes of the 19th
century maps out the possibility of subjective religious experience
in freedom.
for SSA soli, SATB and chamber orchestra The memorable tunes and
infectious optimism of Vivaldi's Gloria have made it one of the
most popular choral works in the repertoire. For this edition, the
distinguished Vivaldi scholar Paul Everett has returned to the
autograph manuscript as the most authoritative source. Both full
and vocal scores make clear distinction between original and
editorial markings, and information on performance practice is
relevant without being prescriptive. The vocal score includes an
orchestral reduction for rehearsal purposes, and the full score is
supplemented by a comprehensive critical commentary and continuo
realization. It also includes a unique transcription of Ruggieri's
'Cum Sancto Spiritu', on which Vivaldi based his own setting.
Complete orchestral material and vocal scores are available on
hire/rental, and full and vocal scores are also available on sale.

These magnificent concertos are distinguished from all other ensemble music of their time by their emphasis on virtuosity, their rhythmic exuberance, flexible instrumentation, independent approaches to thematic development, and their genuine innovations in concerto form. Newly edited and engraved under the expert guidance of Dr. Eleanor Selfridge-Field, this work appears in full score, reproduced from an authoritative source.

Dowani 3 Tempi Play Along is an effective and time-tested method of
practicing that offers more than conventional play-along editions.
Dowani 3 Tempi Play Along enables you to learn a work
systematically and with accompaniment at different tempi. The first
thing you hear on the CD is the concert version in a first-class
recording with solo instrument and orchestral, continuo, or piano
accompaniment. Then the piano or harpsichord accompaniment follows
in slow and medium tempo for practice purposes with the solo
instrument heard softly in the background at a slow tempo. Finally,
you can play at the original tempo to the accompaniment of an
orchestra, piano, or basso continuo. All versions appearing on the
CD were recorded live by renowned soloists, accompanists, and
orchestras. There are no synthesised sounds in a Dowani edition!
(Music Sales America). One of the finest works of all Vivaldi's

Ratcliffe. Uplifting and melodic, the intoxicating tunes and
spellbinding optimism of Gloria have helped it to become one of the
most popular works in the Baroque choral repertoire.
