The Handbook on Music Business and Creative Industries in Education
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.

Red Carpets And Other Banana Skins - Rupert Everett
Hilariously honest. . . a kind of rake s progress Daily MailAn element of drama has always attended Rupert Everett, even before he swept to fame with his outstanding performance in Another Country . He has spent his life surrounded by extraordinary people, and witnessed extraordinary events. He was in Moscow during the fall of communism; in Berlin the night the wall came down; and in downtown Manhattan on September 11th. By the age of 17 he was friends with Andy Warhol and Bianca Jagger, and since then he has been up close and personal with some of the most famous women in the world: Julia Roberts, Madonna, Sharon Stone and Donatella Versace. Whether sweeping the floor for the Royal Shakespeare Company or co-starring with Faye Dunaway and an orang-utan in Dunstan Checks In (they both took ages to get ready), Rupert Everett always brings as much energy and talent to his life as he does to his career. A superb raconteur and a keen observer of human folly (especially his own), Rupert Everett turns his life into a captivating story of love, fame, glamour, gossip and drama.Praise for Red Carpets and Other Banana Skins He has an almost fanatical loyalty to the concept of enjoyment, to the detriment, it might be argued, of his art, though to the great enrichment of his being; and for Rupert, as he makes clear in this continuously brilliant memoir, the best theatrical autobiography since Noël Coward s Present Indicative, acting is being...a superb and unexpectedly inspiring achievement Simon Callow, Guardian Lush, profoundly reflective, and thoroughly satisfying...a heady triumph of observation and reverie Independent What makes this autobiography a (novelistic) masterpiece is the way he is acutely aware of the melancholia and pain that are the other side of hedonism s coin Daily Telegraph

No se afane por nada/ Do not Worry About Anything : El Arte De Relegar Las Preocupaciones Y Descansar En Dios/ the Art of Relegating Concerns and Rest
Las pruebas, las tribulaciones y los tiempos dificultosos son parte de la vida de este mundo. No obstante, Dios nos ha provisto una manera de disfrutar la paz como parte de la vida diaria. Podemos escoger entre permitir que las preocupaciones y el afán nos carguen o vivir en la paz y el disfrute que el Padre deseó para nosotros.En No se afane por nada, la autora de éxito de ventas, Joyce Meyer, nos enseña cómo recurrir a la paz de Dios en medio de las circunstancias negativas, en vez de responder con inquietud, temor y aprensión. Ella revela la naturaleza de la paz que Jesús describe en Juan 14:27, una paz que no es nada parecida a la que el mundo conoce, y cómo ésta puede llenar todas las áreas de su vida.Joyce Meyer explica por qué deberíamos y cómo podemos:Cambiar el afán y la preocupación por la paz y el disfruteDesarrollar una actitud de fe igual a la de un niñoDescansar en los brazos del SeñorUsted desarrollará una relación más profunda y significativa con el Padre celestial, a medida que vaya entendiendo cómo Él cuida de usted. Al seguir la guía del Espíritu Santo, su vida se llenará de una esperanza y sobreabundancia sin límites con la paz del Señor hasta que finalmente ¡no se afane por nada!Difficult times, trials, and tribulation are part of living in this world. However, God has provided a way for us to enjoy peace as a part of daily life. We can choose either to allow ourselves to be burdened with worry and anxiety or to live in the peace and joy the Father intended.In Be Anxious for Nothing, Joyce Meyer teaches how to draw on the peace of God in the midst of negative circumstances instead of responding with restlessness, fear, and apprehension. She reveals the nature of the peace Jesus describes in John 14:27—a peace unlike anything the world knows—and how it can fill every area of your life. Joyce Meyer explains why we should and how we can:Trade our anxiety and worry for peace and joyDevelop a childlike attitude of faithRest in the arms of the Lord.You will develop a deeper, more meaningful relationship with your heavenly Father as you understand how He cares for you. By following the leading of the Holy Spirit, your life will be filled with unlimited hope and will overflow with His peace, so you will finally Be Anxious for Nothing!

The Oxford Handbook of Refugee and Forced Migration Studies
Refugee and Forced Migration Studies has grown from being a concern of a relatively small number of scholars and policy researchers in the 1980s to a global field of interest with thousands of students worldwide studying displacement either from traditional disciplinary perspectives or as a core component of newer programmes across the Humanities and Social and Political Sciences. Today the field encompasses both rigorous academic research which may or may not ultimately inform policy and practice, as well as action-research focused on advocating in favour of refugees needs and rights. This authoritative Handbook critically evaluates the birth and development of Refugee and Forced Migration Studies, and analyses the key contemporary and future challenges faced by academics and practitioners working with and for forcibly displaced populations around the world. The 52 state-of-the-art chapters, written by leading academics, practitioners, and policymakers working in universities, research centres, think tanks, NGOs and international organizations, provide a comprehensive and cutting-edge overview of the key intellectual, political, social and institutional challenges arising from mass displacement in the world today. The chapters vividly illustrate the vibrant and engaging debates that characterise this rapidly expanding field of research and practice.

Understanding the Holocaust at KS3: How and why did it happen? - Dr Andy Pearce, Professor Stuart Foster, Helen McCord, Dr Eleni Karayianni
In 2016 the UCL Centre for Holocaust Education published a landmark study, What do students know and understand about the Holocaust? Almost 10,000 students aged 11 to 18 participated in the research. It was the largest of its kind anywhere in the world. The study indicated that the vast majority of young people found the subject interesting and relevant. However, it also revealed that many students did not have clear knowledge and understanding of the Holocaust.Written in direct response to the findings of the 2016 national study, this textbook significantly improves understanding of the Holocaust by: Providing you with an appropriate historical overview of key aspects of the Holocaust Helping you to understand the long-standing hatred of Jews (i.e., the roots of antisemitism) Deepening your knowledge and understanding of the Holocaust Encouraging you to challenge common myths and misconceptions (e.g., that Hitler was solely responsible for the Holocaust) Developing your understanding of key historical concepts (e.g., evidence, interpretation, causation, significance) Enabling you to answer the big historical question: How and why did the Holocaust happen? Helping you to appreciate the impact of the Holocaust on ordinary people across Europe Inviting you to consider the importance of the Holocaust and its significance todayThis textbook is supported by additional materials and teacher guidance notes on the UCL Centre for Holocaust Education website (holocausteducation.org.uk).The original design, development and distribution of this textbook was funded by the Toni Schiff Memorial Fund and the Pears Foundation. The Centre is enormously grateful for their support. The Wiener Holocaust Library also provided considerable assistance in developing the textbook.

To the End of the World - Rupert Everett
Quivers with honesty, A-list gossip and sardonic prose The Times Everett is a deliciously gifted writer. Nothing and no one escapes his attention ObserverRupert Everett tells the story of how he set out to make a film of Oscar Wilde s last days, and how that ten-year quest almost destroyed him. (And everyone else.) Travelling across Europe for the film, he weaves in extraordinary tales from his past, remembering wild times, freak encounters and lost friends. There are celebrities, of course. But we also meet glamorous but doomed Aunt Peta, who introduces Rupert (aged three) to the joys of make-up. In 90s Paris, his great friend Lychee burns bright, and is gone. While in 70s London, a weirdly tall, beyond size zero teenage Rupert is expelled from the Central School of Speech and Drama. Unflinchingly honest and hugely entertaining, To the End of the World offers a unique insight into the snakes and ladders of filmmaking. It is also a soulful and thought-provoking autobiography from one of our best-loved and most talented actors and writers.

How does one young man survive the deaths of his entire family and manage to make something worthwhile of his life? In Things The Grandchildren Should Know Mark Oliver Everett tells the story of what it s like to grow up the insecure son of a genius in a wacky Virginia Ice Storm-like family. Left to run wild with his sister, his father off in some parallel universe of his own invention, Everett s upbringing was ridiculous, sometimes tragic and always unsteady . But somehow he manages to not only survive his crazy upbringing and ensuing tragedies; he makes something of his life, striking out on a journey to find himself by channelling his experiences into his, eventually, critically acclaimed music with the Eels. But it s not an easy path. Told with surprising candour, Things The Grandchildren Should Know is an inspiring and remarkable story, full of hope, humour and wry wisdom.

The Wristwatch Handbook - Otakáro Schmidt
...a beautiful book, filled with captivating images and explanatory text which never gets too dry or too technical... - RevolutionDespite the functional obsolescence of the mechanical wristwatch (our phones and computers tell more accurate time) the early 21st Century has seen a boom in the development, production, and appreciation of all things horological. Whether it is presented to the collector as an alternative investment, as a feat of micro-mechanical technology, or as a showcase of artisanal mastery, the mechanical wristwatch has never possessed more forms, functions or facets than it does today. The Wristwatch Handbook is written from the epicentre of a renaissance, a place in time between the Quartz revolution and the rise of the smart device - where the mechanical wristwatch is the antidote to the microprocessor and the permanent buzz of your inbox. From the multi-axis tourbillion, to the split-second chronograph, to the sidereal sky chart, The Wristwatch Handbook covers it all and does so with more than 470 rich illustrations from over 90 of the World s leading brands. The book is separated into two sections. The first section provides the reader with a comprehensive understanding of the mechanical movement. Its chapters explore power, transmission, distribution and regulation illustrating the basic concepts before considering the innovation and complexity that takes place further toward the cutting edge. From the fifty-day power reserve, to the constant force mechanism, and the 1,000Hz mechanical escapement, section 1 will allow the reader to understand and appreciate what is happening beneath the dial of their watch. Section two allows the reader to take this understanding and apply it to the vast range of complications (functions) that exist in modern horology. Each chapter showcases a distinct category of complication. For example, the regatta timer, pulsometer, and monopusher chronograph join a host of others in a chapter entitled Recording Lapses of Time ; The power reserve indicator, dynamograph, and crown position indicator are featured in a chapter for Power and Performance Indication ; The moon phase indicator, annual calendar, and planetarium can be found in the Astronomical Complications chapter. Once the functional categories are exhausted, the final three chapters explore whimsical complications that have little regard for practical function, novelty time indication, and the super-complicated watch - a rare breed of timepiece that houses an intimidating host of complications featured throughout the book. Upon completion of The Wristwatch Handbook the reader will be able to identify even the most exotic complication from across the room, and be able to share their appreciation and understanding of what makes it so useful and compelling. The Wristwatch Handbook is brand agnostic , using only those watches that most aptly illustrate the given subject-matter. As a consequence the book places equal emphasis on the classic and the cutting edge, on watches produced in large volume or exclusive runs, by industry-leading technology or at the hand of a master. In doing so the book provides an unparalleled range of watches from over 90 brands, allowing the reader to determine for themselves which brands, complications, and styles they will build their collection from.

Church History, Volume One: From Christ to the Pre-Reformation - Everett Ferguson
Church History, Volume One offers a unique contextual view of how the Christian church spread and grew from its development in the days of Jesus to the years leading up to the Reformation. Looking closely at the integral link between the history of the world and that of the church, Church History paints a portrait of God s people within its setting of times, cultures, and events that both influenced and were influenced by the church.FEATURES:Maps, charts, and illustrations spanning the time from the first through the thirteenth centuries.Overviews of the Roman, Greek, and Jewish worlds and how they developed or declined.Insights into the church s relationship to the Roman Empire, with glimpses into pagan attitudes toward Christians.Explanations of the role of art, architecture, literature, and philosophy—both sacred and secular—in the Church.Details on the major theological controversies of the periods.Each chapter also contains callout passages from Scripture to assist in understanding the narrative of the Church, even to the present day, as part of the greater narrative of the Bible.AUTHOR S PERSPECTIVE:Scholar and writer Everett Ferguson wrote this history of the church from the perspective that such a history is the story of the greatest movement and community the world has known. It s a human story of a divinely called people who wanted to live by a divine revelation. It s a story of how they succeeded and how they failed or fell short of their calling.From the Apostle Paul to the apologists and martyrs of the second century to Martin Luther, the historical figures detailed are people who have struggled with the meaning of the greatest event in history—the coming of the Son of God—and with their role in that event and in the lives of God s people.

Sonnets for a Missing Key - Percival Everett
AUTHOR OF THE PULITZER PRIZE AND NATIONAL BOOK AWARD WINNER, JAMES AUTHOR OF ERASURE, now adapted for the screen as the OSCAR-WINNING FILM, AMERICAN FICTION Percival Everett is diving back into poetry with his spellbinding new collection, SONNETS FOR A MISSING KEY “Few writers pay more rapt attention to the fact that history is, fundamentally, storytelling. … A pebble in every shoe. It’s the Everett way.”—New York Times Inspired by the Preludes of Chopin and the piano solos of Art Tatum, these sonnets leap and turn through philosophical musings accrued across a life well lived, with inventive language, crystalline imagery, and turns of phrase that lift off the page and glimmer. Everett’s sonnets soar through the musical scale, from A Minor to A Major, exploring relationships, spirituality, compassion, despair, and how the stories we tell ourselves shape our realities. Everett continuously defies convention with every creative expression and brings his literary audacity back to his poetic roots with this, his sixth collection with Red Hen Press. Sonnets for a Missing Key is a mesmerizing feat of language that reinforces Percival Everett as one of the great wordsmiths of the century.
