This is an introduction to the world of diagrams. Fourteen core diagrams are introduced, explained and illustrated in the book, and the reader is urged to see these as the essential building blocks of diagramming. Each core diagram is linked to real cases from industry and public life, to demonstrate how it is used in practice. Once the diagrams have been mastered, it is possible to combine and adapt them in many different ways.

Softcover. Condition: Good. The groundbreaking Audio Culture: Readings in Modern Music (Continuum; September 2004; paperback original) maps the aural and discursive terrain of vanguard music today. Rather than offering a history of contemporary music, Audio Culture traces the genealogy of current musical practices and theoretical concerns, drawing lines of connection between recent musical production and earlier moments of sonic experimentation. It aims to foreground the various rewirings of musical composition and performance that have taken place in the past few decades and to provide a critical and theoretical language for this new audio culture.Via writings by philosophers, cultural theorists, and composers, Audio Culture explores the interconnections among such forms as minimalism, indeterminacy, musique concrte, free improvisation, experimental music, avant-rock, dub reggae, Ambient music, HipHop, and Techno. Instead of focusing on the putative "crossover" between "high art" and "popular culture," Audio Culture takes all of these musics as experimental practices on par with, and linked to, one another. While cultural studies has tended to look at music (primarily popular music) from a sociological perspective, the concern here is philosophical, musical, and historical.Audio Culture includes writing by some of the most important musical thinkers of the past half-century, among them John Cage, Brian Eno, Glenn Gould, Umberto Eco, Ornette Coleman, Jacques Attali, Simon Reynolds, Pauline Oliveros, Paul D. Miller, David Toop, John Zorn, Karlheinz Stockhausen, and many others. The book is divided into nine thematically-organized sections, each with its own introduction. Section headings include topics such as "Modes of Listening," "Minimalisms," and "DJ Culture." In addition, each essay has its own short introduction, helping the reader to place the essay within musical, historical, and conceptual contexts. The book concludes with a glossary, a timeline, and an extensive discography.

Softcover. Condition: Good. First Thus Used. Many people today have a spiritual thirst and hunger for silence and for prayer that is as urgent in its way as the material needs of the world. Modern people need a way to return to this health, a way that must be new and old: a traditional way that meets people where they are.In The Selfless Self, Laurence Freeman looks at the essential elements of meditation: silence, stillness, simplicity. He expands on the power of meditation to transform the way in which we see our place and our responsibilities in the world and how it can help us to resist the pressure to conform to materialistic standards. As Freeman writes, "The wonderful thing about meditation, the spiritual journey into the cave of the heart, is that once we have taken each successive step of faith and the light has shone in that dark place, then that place is enlightened. Fear and the primal fear of death is transcended".

Hardcover. Condition: Good. First Edition. Odyssey with the Goddess depicts a spiritual journey from death and despair to healing and rebirth. At its deepest level, it is a story with universal resonance. But it is also a woman's story and a spiritual quest from a particular point of view. It begins with a very simple experience of despair - abandonment in a love relationship. What follows is a journey not willingly or consciously chosen. The author is present as her mother dies and glimpses the mystery of love. She is taken to Crete, a land where the Goddess once reigned in peace and harmony. There she descends into the darkness of a cave, finds the tree of life in the center of a garden, and dances to the strange rhythms of mountain goat songs. Eventually she comes to understand that life is not a goal to be achieved by effort and will. It is a dance along a serpentine path offering many gifts at every turn.

Certainly, all of these themes have to be analyzed as elements of a body of critical, liberationist pedagogy. In the present book, we come to understand the author's pedagogical thinking even better, through the critical seriousness, humanistic objectivity, and engaged subjectivity which, in all of Freire's books, are always wedded to a unique creative innovativeness.

Hardcover. Condition: Good. A fast-tempo autobiography that spans seminal moments in the history of jazz, Los Angeles, and the black experience in America.Until recently, the West Coast jazz scene occupied an unjustifiably obscure place in jazz history. Yet, in the heyday of jazz, the Los Angeles Central Avenue scene was a mecca for Hollywood stars and other jazz buffs who wanted to hear the music of people like Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie, Charlie Mingus, and Chico Hamilton. The Central Avenue Sounds Research Project at UCLA has done much to ensure that Central Avenue is recognized, along with Harlem and New Orleans, as the birthplace of jazz.Buddy Collette - a key figure in American jazz since the early 1940's - is unusual in that, while based on the West Coast, he won a truly international following. Collette worked closely with Mingus, went on to join the Chico Hamilton Quartet, and later played with Thelonious Monk and Gil Evans. He has run his own quartet for thirty years while also writing, arranging, and playing film scores.In Jazz Generations, Collette recounts his close friendships with other jazz greats and gives brief but illuminating portraits of Parker, Paul Robeson, and Frank Sinatra. He also shares an insider's look at the world of the studio musician - particularly his years on the "Groucho Marx Show" - and gives important accounts of the racial integration of the musicians' union and of the Watts riots in the 1960's.

Hardcover. Condition: Good. Can a Novel Cause Riots, start a war, free serfs or slaves, break up marriages, drive readers to suicide, close factories, bring about legal change, swing an election, or serve as a weapon in a national or international struggle?These are some of the larger, direct, social and political effects which have been ascribed to certain exceptional novels and other works of narrative fiction over the last two hundred years or so. In their crudest form, claims of this kind are obviously naive, oversimplifying the complex ways in which literary texts "work in the world" and oversimplifying, too, the causal processes required to account for a major social or political change. But is it possible to modify or refine such claims in the light of contemporary theory and historical research so that the mechanisms by which each text has engaged with the political forces of the time are adequately described? The author explores this question in the form of a theoretical essay on narrative and power, followed by five detailed case studies of works by Turgenev, Harriet Beecher Stowe, Ignazio Silone, Solzhenitsyn and Salman Rushdie each of which had or were said to have had a major impact on the political events in their time. Forcefully argued and written with a minimum of jargon, this book will appeal to a wide readership well beyond that of the specialist in literature.

Hardcover. Condition: Good. First Edition. A powerful challenge to current religious responses to the ecological crisis, this book discusses the principal answers. It assesses the new cosmology, ecofeminism, process thought, Gaia theory, and liberation theology. Each of these recognizes the role of the human in the present environmental crisis. But each of these also approaches the "human problematic" in incomplete or inadequate ways. Thus, this book is both an examination of the state of the question, and a constructive effort at building bridges among the various current paradigms and remedying, or redeeming, their inadequacies.

Hardcover. Condition: Good. First Edition. The world of the arts has been devastated by AIDS. Few performing or visual artists have escaped the epidemic's impingement upon either their own lives or those of close friends and mentors. But beyond this obvious impact, AIDS has had - and is having - an ultimately more far-reaching effect: it has changed the very form and content of contemporary art. As artists struggle to understand, interpret, and express the complex emotions and politics arising from the epidemic, a new art, perhaps even a new aesthetic, is now emerging.Over the past ten years, AIDS has become an increasingly prevalent theme in drama, dance, music, film, television, painting, photography, and theater. Many artists have encapsulated their rage, grief, and resistance - and even, occasionally, a kind of transformational acceptance of fate - by channeling that experience into their art. Together, they have produced a remarkably rich body of work. The panoply of the art of AIDS is as rich as the range of the artists who are responding to the epidemic.In The Art of AIDS, Rob Baker examines this new aesthetic, revealing not just the expected themes of death and dying, disease and disability, but also the issues of spirituality and healing, political and social action, sexuality and responsibility, isolation and community, racism and heterosexism. AIDS increasingly affects everyone, but the response of the gay community, which was devastated first and which rallied so valiantly, is central to this study.Perhaps it is only through the risks taken by AIDS-affected artists that stigma can be turned into conscience, denial into consciousness, and grief into renewal.

From their stick-and-mud village far up the mountains, the Indians can look across the wide Mexico that was once theirs and look down upon the houses and fields where they now do enforced labor for the mestizos and whites. Once proud and powerful, the tribe has added their conquerors to the natural perils of forest and jungle, famine and plague, as evils against which they and their witchcraft are powerless. Here, within this bounded and embattled world, a quietly moving story unfolds of a tragic people caught in the tail wind of a civilization both alien and hostile to them, a tale of brave men and lovers, of prophets and violence, of the tribal secrets put on every child's lips and impossible to forget.

But that is more easily said than done. Hard-pressed practitioners can hardly be expected constantly to review dozens of conference papers, journals and other publications - and such sources are in any case not always accessibly written. These unique books synthesizes the relevant research findings for the profession and brings out the implications for the quality of teaching and learning. Whether you are a teacher looking to improve your practice through applying the latest thinking in your subject or a researcher searching for a concise review of the literature, Teaching and Learning Design and Technology and Teaching and Learning English will prove indispensable.

Hardcover. Condition: Good. First Edition. The relationship of "The Word" to notions of unity/oneness has served often as a tool of tyranny and oppression in Christian history. Static, authoritarian religious institutions have formed and developed the central tenets of their faith, excluding from participation the voices of those who do not "image" the reality of the power brokers - overwhelmingly white, Western, heterosexual, and male. Yet other voices have continually emerged in multiple locations to challenge the hegemony of "The Word," and to claim authority and agency in the struggle for basic rights and justice. Some of these voices are explicitly religious, others not. All challenge the adequacy of a unilateral "Word" to embody the dynamic and all-encompassing movement of the sacred in the world.This book suggests that a metaphor of "voices" provides possibility for the intercourse of many diverse expressions of holy power in the world without insisting upon either a primal or an ultimate "oneness."The implications of this shift are many. The sources where such revelations of the divine appear must be broadened to include many "texts" not traditionally seen as "theological." Conceptions of community are revolutionized, to include not only comfortable groupings of like-minded individuals coming together for mutual support and nourishment, but also coalitions of diverse persons, who share no particular social or cultural identity but rather their commitment to work together for a more just world.Traditional theological categories are re-named and redefined, as their original definition and subsequent development are disclosed as limiting and inadequate. And the God whom we have been told is One is revealed as many-faceted and articulate, "speaking" through and among a radical multiplicity of created and creative beings who struggle together to live authentically in the world.

Hardcover. Condition: Good. From Booklist Students researching violence and community groups trying to devise tactics to reduce neighborhood mayhem will value the accessible but relatively nuanced analysis licensed clinical psychologist Flannery supplies. Flannery, a Boston-area professor, counselor, and trainer who has written previous books on stress, workplace violence, and post-traumatic stress disorder, examines four types of factors (cultural, biological, sociological, psychological) viewed as causes of violence, supplying (somewhat oversimplified) thumbnail sketches of key contributors to, for example, the nature-or-nurture debate or research on brain chemicals or poverty and discrimination's effects. "The emergence of the postindustrial state," Flannery suggests, is critical in contemporary violence statistics through both its cultural and its sociological impact; he recommends a range of actions by business, government, family, school, and religious institutions to strengthen communities around the country to provide the support individuals need to cope with the current period of rapid social change. Though more serious students will want to go directly to Flannery's sources, those seeking a practical overview will be grateful for his efforts. Mary Carroll Product Description Analyzes the causes and effects of violent behavior and offers practical suggestions for coping with and curtailing violence.

Hardcover. Condition: Good. First Edition. Drawing on her wide background in depth psychology, art, and archeology, Patricia Reis gives a unique feminist reading to the meaning of the Goddess. Through personal experience and reflection, through women's creative productions, and above all through examples from the lives of women she has guided in her practice of therapeia, Through the Goddess shows the indwelling Goddess to be a much-needed resource for physical, spiritual, and psychological healing. Utilizing pre-patriarchal Goddess images for inspiration and information, Reis shows how the earliest Goddess images provide important bedrock symbols of female wholeness that are lacking in the later Greek Goddesses who are often patriarchally influenced and reflect instead the suffering and fragmented aspects of women, which correspond to contemporary women's struggles for self-acceptance. Reis further develops a newly emerging archetype: that of the female body. Through the work of women poets and artists, Reis shows how women today can heal personally and collectively from abuse, incest, eating disorders, and from the sometimes devastating effects of breast cancer by initiation into and through the Goddess.
