Music as an Art - Sir Roger Scruton
In the latest of his books exploring a lifetime’s passion for music, bestselling author and philosopher Roger Scruton brings his immense critical faculties to bear on a panoply of different musical genres, both contemporary and classical.Music as an Art begins by examining music through a philosophical lens, engaging in discussions about tonality, music and the moral life, music and cognitive science and German idealism, as well as recalling the author’s struggle to encourage his students to distinguish the qualities of good music. Scruton then explains – via erudite chapters on Schubert, Britten, Rameau, opera and film – how we can develop greater judgement in music, recognising both good taste and bad, establishing musical values, as well as musical pleasures.As Scruton argues in this book, in earlier times, our musical culture had secure foundations in the church, the concert hall and the home; in the ceremonies and celebrations of ordinary life, religion and manners. Yet we no longer live in that world. Fewer people now play instruments and music is, for many, a form of largely solitary enjoyment. As he shows in Music as an Art, we live at a critical time for classical music, and this book is an important ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Your Superstar Brain - Kaja Nordengen
**THE INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER**''A brilliant book'' - DagbladetWhy does the brain work the way it does? Can eating certain foods improve your memory?

What is free will, and do we really possess it?These big questions, and many more, are investigated to uncover all the secrets of your most wondrous, mysterious and irreplaceable organ. Your brain makes you who you are - it is the root of your personality and intelligence. It learns languages, creates memories and interprets complex patterns. But it is also responsible for your bad decisions and it rewards addictive behaviours.In Your Superstar Brain, neuroscientist Dr Kaja Nordengen describes in mesmerising detail how the brain works - both how it''s physically constructed with neurones, synapses and the cerebral cortex, but also how it functions on a more abstract level - everything from what happens when we fall in love to where we find our sense of self.Join Dr Kaja Nordengen on her fascinating journey through the many unexplored territories of the intricate human brain, and find out why your brain is truly a superstar.

How God Changes Your Brain - Mark Robert Waldman, Andrew, M.D. Newberg
God is great—for your mental, physical, and spiritual health. Based on new evidence culled from brain-scan studies, a wide-reaching survey of people’s religious and spiritual experiences, and the authors’ analyses of adult drawings of God, neuroscientist Andrew Newberg and therapist Mark Robert Waldman offer the following breakthrough discoveries: • Not only do prayer and spiritual practice reduce stress, but just twelve minutes of meditation per day may slow down the aging process.• Contemplating a loving God rather than a punitive God reduces anxiety and depression and increases feelings of security, compassion, and love.• Fundamentalism, in and of itself, can be personally beneficial, but the prejudice generated by extreme beliefs can permanently damage your brain.• Intense prayer and meditation permanently change numerous structures and functions in the brain, altering your values and the way you perceive reality.Both a revelatory work of modern science and a practical guide for readers to enhance their physical and emotional health, How God Changes Your Brain is a first-of-a-kind book about faith that is as credible as it is inspiring.

Let Your Life Speak - Parker J. Palmer
The 25th Anniversary Edition of a modern classic, with a new Introduction by its celebrated author “Is the life I am living the same as the life that wants to live in me?†With this searching question, bestselling author Parker J. Palmer begins his insightful and moving meditation on finding our way toward meaning and purpose.

Jesus and Scripture - Thomas J. Parker
For the New Testament writers, the Old Testament scriptures and the teachings of Jesus were key sources of authority and influence. When these influences are considered alongside each other, each can illuminate the other, deepening the New Testament writers\rquote presentation of Jesus and our understanding of their interpretations. In Jesus and Scripture, Tom Parker examines the way in which Hebrews, James, and 1 and 2 Peter deal with these two different sources of authority, how they relate to each other, and what shifts have occurred historically and theologically within the writing of these texts. \parTreating the four epistles methodologically, Parker examines the particular ways in which each writer draws on the Hebrew scriptures. Ultimately, he argues convincingly that the nascent Jesus tradition, particularly via oral routes, influenced the way the Old Testament was processed by these various New Testament writers.

Dějiny opery. Posledních 400 let. - Carolyn Abbateová, Roger Parker
Dějiny opery zasvěceně rozebírají mnohá díla největších skladatelů, od Monteverdiho a Händela přes Mozarta a Verdiho až po Wagnera, Strausse, Pucciniho, Berga či Brittena. Autoři čtivě líčí i společenské, politické a literární pozadí opery, ekonomické souvislosti a bezmála neustávající polemiky, které vývoj opery po staletí doprovázejí. Ústředním tématem knihy je zkoumání napětí - mezi hudbou a slovy, mezi postavami a pěvci -, které operu oživuje a sytí. V polemické závěrečné kapitole autoři zkoumají problém, kterému opera čelí v posledním půlstoletí, kdy bezmála nevznikají nová operní díla, a pokud ano, obvykle nenaleznou trvalé místo na repertoáru. Přesto je poselství této knihy oslavné. Většina dnes živých a oblíbených operních děl sice vznikla v Evropě hluboké minulosti, opera jako umělecká forma je však i nadále neobyčejně životaschopná a podnětná. I nadále lidi fyzicky, psychicky, emocionálně i intelektuálně proměňuje a vyjadřuje lidskou zkušenost způsobem, kterého žádná jiná forma umění nemůže dosáhnout.
