Creative arts professions (music, media, and performance) remain in a period of flux. As the music industry and related fields adapt to changing business models, student interest in training for a career in the entertainment sector continues to rise. Though the expansion of global degree offerings in the creative industries expands each year, a state of the field on educational and pedagogical issues in the music business and the creative industries has yet to be created. Creative arts research encompasses a broad range of sectors in the music and entertainment industries; among these subfields include performance, technology, entrepreneurship, marketing, and social justice. Globally, formal training for such pathways happens most often in higher education.The Handbook provides a practical and engaging resource for faculty, staff, administrators, graduate students, and industry members working on the front lines in teaching and learning. It presents a wide range of global perspectives from academics, BIPOC voices, and ECRs from the United States, the UK, Europe, Australia, and Canada. Another factor that affects HE stakeholders is the absence of a versatile resource on the teaching and learning issues in music business and related fields. While The Handbook avoids overly prescriptive models of teaching and learning, the volume includes topical research through case studies, ethnographies, and a thorough cross-section of qualitative and quantitative methods. Such a resource may be germane particularly to educators transitioning from industry to faculty appointments in HE. Authors are encouraged to draw from their expertise and use narrative analysis to support their perspectives.

“A GRIPPING CLASSIC. Exhaustively researched, The Hunter Killers puts you directly into a Wild Weasel fighter cockpit during the Vietnam War. Dan Hampton lets you feel it for yourself as no one else could.”--Colonel LEO THORSNESS, Wild Weasel pilot and Medal of Honor recipientAt the height of the Cold War, America s most elite aviators bravely volunteered for a covert program aimed at eliminating an impossible new threat. Half never returned. All became legends. From New York Times bestselling author Dan Hampton comes one of the most extraordinary untold stories of aviation history.Vietnam, 1965: On July 24 a USAF F-4 Phantom jet was suddenly blown from the sky by a mysterious and lethal weapon—a Soviet SA-2 surface-to-air missile (SAM), launched by Russian advisors to North Vietnam. Three days later, six F-105 Thunderchiefs were brought down trying to avenge the Phantom. More tragic losses followed, establishing the enemy s SAMs as the deadliest anti-aircraft threat in history and dramatically turning the tables of Cold War air superiority in favor of Soviet technology.Stunned and desperately searching for answers, the Pentagon ordered a top secret program called Wild Weasel I to counter the SAM problem—fast. So it came to be that a small group of maverick fighter pilots and Electronic Warfare Officers volunteered to fly behind enemy lines and into the teeth of the threat. To most it seemed a suicide mission—but they beat the door down to join. Those who survived the 50 percent casualty rate would revolutionize warfare forever. You gotta be sh*#@ing me! This immortal phrase was uttered by Captain Jack Donovan when the Wild Weasel concept was first explained to him. You want me to fly in the back of a little tiny fighter aircraft with a crazy fighter pilot who thinks he s invincible, home in on a SAM site in North Vietnam, and shoot it before it shoots me? Based on unprecedented firsthand interviews with Wild Weasel veterans and previously unseen personal papers and declassified documents from both sides of the conflict, as well as Dan Hampton s own experience as a highly decorated F-16 Wild Weasel pilot, The Hunter Killers is a gripping, cockpit-level chronicle of the first-generation Weasels, the remarkable band of aviators who faced head-on the advanced Soviet missile technology that was decimating fellow American pilots over the skies of Vietnam.

A fascinating new account of the history of the English house, from the country s preeminent architectural historian Cruickshankâ ™s enthusiasm for Englandâ ™s vernacular architecture shines through every infectious sentence of this glorious book... A triumph. - The Times A mine of information presented in an effortlessly accessible style. Unlike many books that merely convey stories attached to buildings, this is social and architectural history delivered with forensic insight - Country LifeThis is the story of the superbly elegant early eighteenth-century Pallant House in Chichester. It s the story of 19 Princelet Street in Spitalfields, built for a Huguenot silk-weaver, ultimately a synagogue. Itâ ™s also the story of â “ among others â “ a row of two-up, two-downs in Toxteth, a block of flats in Londonâ ™s East End, and what Ideal Homeâ ™s magazine described in 1926 as Britainâ ™s â ˜first modern houseâ ™ â “ in Northampton. Together these buildings reveal the ways in which English homes have developed and changed over the past few centuries. At the same time, as Dan Cruickshank shows, they have much to tell us about the lives of their first occupants: their aspirations, their struggles, their place within society and relationship with their local community. The English House brilliantly weaves these two strands together, blending architectural and social history to create a series of brilliantly observed portraits of fascinating buildings. Praise for Dan Cruickshank Genial, erudite and companionable . . . this heroic and heartfelt book caps a career devoted to [Spitalfields ] heritage. ? Spectator With beguiling erudition, TV historian and local resident Cruickshank tells the story of Spitalfields from Roman times to today . . . This is peopleâ ™s history at its tastiest. ? Sunday Express A passionate, scholarly energy and involvement with every era of the district s long history come off Spitalfields pages . . . Absorbing detail. ?

As well as being a fascinating account of a unique area of London, Spitalfields is a timely warning that helps us to appreciate what the city and country risk losing. ?

“A journey into the origins of COVID-19 and the discovery of vaccines and potential cures . . . I learned so much that I didn’t know before—above all, I met the subtle warriors of the laboratory who are working to save all of us from the horror of new pandemics.”—Richard Preston, bestselling author of The Hot Zone and The Demon in the Freezer Winner of the Hilary Weston Writers’ Trust Prize • One of Publishers Weekly’s top ten science books of the seasonThe urgency of the devastating COVID-19 pandemic has fixed humanity’s gaze on the present crisis. But the story of this pandemic extends far further back than many realize. In this engrossing narrative, epidemiologist Dan Werb traces the rising threat of the coronavirus family and the attempts by a small group of scientists who worked for decades to stop a looming viral pandemic.When virologist Ralph Baric began researching coronaviruses in the 1980s, the field was a scientific backwater—the few variants that infected humans caused little more than the common cold. But when a novel coronavirus sparked the 2003 SARS epidemic, and then the MERS epidemic a decade later, Baric and his allies realized that time was running out before a pandemic strain would make the inevitable jump from animals to human hosts.In The Invisible Siege, Werb unpacks the dynamic history and microscopic complexity of an organism that has wreaked cycles of havoc upon the world for millennia. Elegantly tracing decades of scientific investigation, Werb’s book reveals how Baric’s team of scientists hatched an audacious plan not merely to battle COVID-19 but to end pandemics forever. Yet as they raced to find a cure, they ran into a complicated nexus of science, ethics, industry, and politics that threatened to derail their efforts just as COVID-19 loomed ever larger.The Invisible Siege is an urgent and moving testament to the unprecedented scientific movement to stop COVID-19—and a powerful look at the infuriating factors that threaten to derail discovery and leave the world vulnerable to the inevitable coronaviruses to come.

LONGLISTED FOR THE FINANCIAL TIMES AND SCHRODERS BUSINESS BOOK OF THE YEAR 2024A NEW STATESMAN BOOK OF THE YEAR 2024 A great book ... a wonderful way of talking about our current world Rory Stewart Mischievous and fiercely intelligent Ed Smith, New Statesman One of the most insightful books I ve read in a long time Sam Freedman The kind of book from which you look up to find the world suddenly more comprehensible Guardian One of the most useful books of 2024 EconomistWhen we avoid taking a decision, what happens to it? In The Unaccountability Machine, Dan Davies examines why markets, institutions and even governments systematically generate outcomes that everyone involved claims not to want. He casts new light on the writing of Stafford Beer, a legendary economist who argued in the 1950s that we should regard organisations as artificial intelligences, capable of taking decisions that are distinct from the intentions of their members.Management cybernetics was Beer s science of applying self-regulation in organisational settings, but it was largely ignored - with the result being the political and economic crises that that we see today. With his signature blend of cynicism and journalistic rigour, Davies looks at what s gone wrong, and what might have been, had the world listened to Stafford Beer when it had the chance.

They are impulses that exist in each of us, reflective of our human nature. Everyone is born with a unique fingerprint. We possess external and internal qualities that make each of us unique and special. At the same time, humans are social animals, with a biological and evolutionary tendency to belong to groups.

This important and timely book explores how balance can be achieved and the importance of such balance at every level of humanity–from the personal to the organizational to the global. Individuals, communities, organizations and societies who manage this tension in an effective and conscious way will  benefit and experience both the pleasures of belonging and the personal expression of each of the individuals.
