Chambers''s Encyclopaedia, Vol. 1: A Dictionary of Universal Knowledge for the People (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Excerpt from Chambers's Encyclopaedia<br/><br/>The general character of the work, now thus far advanced, is indicated by its title A Dictionary of Universal Knowledge for the People. The several topics are not handled with a view to the technical instruction of those who have to make a special study of particular branches of knowledge or art. The information given may be characterised as non-professional, embracing those points of the several subjects which every intelligent man or woman may have occasion to speak or think about. At the same time, every effort is made that the statements, so far as they go, shall be precise and scientifically accurate. One great aim in the arrangement of the work has been to render it easy of consultation. It is expressly a Dictionary, in one alphabet, as distinguished on the one hand from a collection of exhaustive treatises, and, on the other, from a set of Dictionaries of special branches of knowledge. To save the necessity of wading through a long treatise in order to find, perhaps, a single fact, the various masses of systematic knowledge have been broken down, as it were, to as great a degree as is consistent with the separate explanation of the several fragments. In the greater number of articles, however, there will be found copious references to other heads with which they stand in natural connection and thus, while a single fact is readily found, its relation to other facts is not lost sight of. It will be observed, that by means of accentuation, some assistance is given in the pronouncing of the proper names which form the heads of the articles. At the conclusion of the work, it is intended to give a copious General Index, referring not only to the distinct articles, but to subjects casually noticed  eu arrangement which cannot fail to be of considerable use to those who wish to consult the work on many matters of interest.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a comprehensive study of the influential relationship between music and the formation of identity. The author employs a multidisciplinary approach, drawing on history, sociology, and cultural studies to provide a nuanced analysis of how musical practices and preferences shape individual and collective identities. Through case studies and theoretical insights, the book illuminates how music serves as a powerful tool for self-expression, social cohesion, and the negotiation of cultural boundaries. It also explores the ways in which music is used to construct and maintain social hierarchies and perpetuate cultural norms. Ultimately, this book offers a thought-provoking examination of the profound role music plays in defining our sense of self and belonging within the broader social and cultural context.
