Описание: (Percussion). In this meticulously researched biography, author Pelle Berglund presents the first comprehensive book on the life of Buddy Rich, still considered by many to be the greatest drummer ever to pick up sticks. Using interviews with many of Buddy's band members (some conducted by the author himself) along with extensive sourcing of quotes from practically every interview ever given by Buddy himself, a complete chronology of Buddy's life is presented along with insights into what drove him and what he thought about the various situations and people he encountered through his life. One of a Kind recounts each chapter of a life lived in the spotlight: childhood star Traps, the Drum Wonder; young jazz drummer with Joe Marsala an Bunny Berigan; star sideman with Artie Shaw, Harry James, and Tommy Dorsey; and leading various incarnations of the Buddy Rich Big Band. A twentieth century icon, Buddy's relationships with Shaw, Dorsey, Count Basie, Johnny Carson, Frank Sinatra, Mel Torme, Gene Krupa, Norman Granz, Lana Turner, and his family, including wife Marie and daughter Cathy, are insightfully investigated. Never-before-seen photos of Buddy culled from the private collection of collector Charley Braun add a new perspective on Buddy's life including a 16-page featured photo section. Beyond providing a complete timeline of Buddy Rich's life, One of a Kind provides a glimpse into the mind of a musical titan who demanded greatness from himself and those around him, and became of the most celebrated and controversial stars in music.

Описание: Dealing with different regions and cases, the contributions in this volume address and critically explore the theme of borders, educations, and religions in northern Europe. As shown in different ways, and contrary to popular ideas, there seems to be little reason to believe that religious and civic identity formation through public education is becoming less parochial and more culturally open. Even where state borders are porous, where commerce, culture, and trade as well as associative, personal, and social life display stronger liminal traits, normative education remains surprisingly national. This situation is remarkable and goes against the grain of current notions of both accelerating globalisation and a European regional renaissance. The book also takes issue with the foundational tenet that liberal democracies are by definition uninvolved in matters concerning faith and belief. Instead, an implied conclusion is that secular liberal democracy is less than secular and liberal - at least in education, which is a major arena for political-cultural-ethical socialisation, as it aims to confer worldviews and frameworks of identity on young people who will eventually become full citizens and bearers/sharers of prevailing normative communities.

Описание:

In 20 chapters, this book is an inspiring and instructional study of the wonderful, powerful Name of Jesus. The eternal destiny for every human is vested in a Name. The precious and very great promises of God's Word are appropriated by a Name. This Name is given to the church for believers to employ for effectively to advance the kingdom of God. This book establishes the biblical functions and purposes of names and expounds on the proper understanding and use of the Name of Jesus.

Greg Berglund is a Spirit-filled ordained Pastor who subsequently became a Medical Doctor. As both a Pastor and a Doctor, he brings insight to both of these fields. His dual career allows each discipline to inform the other. He is also the author of "This Mountain," where he outlines a biblical understanding of faith as taught by Jesus and displayed by the great faith of the Centurion.

Описание: This volume critically explores the state of religious and civic life and politics on the margins of state spaces by analysing the themes of borders, education, and religions in northern Europe. It suggests that the formation of religious and civic identity through education is not becoming less parochial and more culturally open. It also challenges the idea that secular liberal democracies are by definition uninvolved in matters of faith.

Описание: The essays in Cixous after/depuis 2000, edited by Hall, Chevillot, Hoft-March, and Penalver Vicea, center on the events from 2000 to 2015 that mark Helene Cixous’s life and writing: the donation of her archives to the Bibliotheque Nationale de France, her return to Algeria, the death of her friend Jacques Derrida, the 40th anniversary of her essay “Le Rire de la Meduse,” and finally, of greatest import in her work of the 21st-century, the last years and death of her mother Eve. The essays explore an important movement in Helene Cixous’s oeuvre as it shifts its focus not away from questions of the body, language, difference, and sexuality, but to include a broader engagement with mourning, suffering, aging, and death. Les essais dans Cixous after/depuis 2000, reunis sous la direction de Hall, Chevillot, Hoft-March et Penalver Vicea, portent sur les evenements des annees 2000 a 2015 qui ont marque la vie et l’ecriture d’Helene Cixous : le don de ses archives a la Bibliotheque Nationale de France, son retour en Algerie, la mort de son ami Jacques Derrida, le 40e> anniversaire de la publication du « Rire de la Meduse » et enfin, les dernieres annees et la mort de sa mere Eve. Les essais explorent un mouvement important de l’?uvre d’Helene Cixous qui comprend une interrogation incessante sur le corps, le langage, la difference et la sexualite mais qui se tourne egalement vers le deuil, la souffrance, la vieillesse et la mort.

Описание: This book presents a richly illustrated, hands-on discussion of one of the fastest growing fields in linguistics today. The authors address key methodological issues in corpus linguistics, such as collocations, keywords and the categorization of concordance lines. They show how these topics can be explored step-by-step with BNCweb, a user-friendly web-based tool that supports sophisticated analyses of the 100-million-word British National Corpus. Indeed, the BNC and BNCweb have been described by Geoffrey Leech as an unparalleled combination of facilities for finding out about the English language of the present day (Foreword). The book contains tasks and exercises, and is suitable for undergraduates, postgraduates and experienced corpus users alike.
