Автор: Evans Mark Название: Mark! My Words (How to Discover the Joy of Music, the Delight of Language, and the Pride of Achievement in the Age of Trash Talk and MTV) ISBN: 0984767916 ISBN-13(EAN): 9780984767915 Издательство: Неизвестно Цена: 30590.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: Classical music, jazz, film scores, and the masterpieces of musical theater are in danger of fading into an undeserved oblivion. This crisis extends not only to music, but also to an ignorance of good books, art, theater, and films. This crisis is exacerbated by our vanishing history, a decline in language, and a pervasive celebrity culture. If this problem is not solved, our nation's cultural and artistic heritage will be irretrievably lost. "Mark My Words" by Mark Evans is the first book to address the challenge of this crisis. The author, a composer, writer, and broadcaster presents compelling evidence that change and progress are not synonymous and that "new and improved" often means a bigger box and fewer corn flakes .He explains why we have become a nation of hares instead of tortoises. In today's high tech world, students are emerging from school: - Unfamiliar with any music other than what they've heard on MTV. - Unable to write, spell, or speak using the English language correctly. - As experts on the lives of celebrities, but ignorant of the most basic facts of American history. - Spending countless hours texting, tweeting, and downloading on the latest digital devices, but without reading any book that hasn't been assigned to them in years. - With a healthy respect for the present, but a complete disdain for the past. In "Mark My Words" readers will encounter: - True achievers in the arts who are ignored while we celebrate the accomplishments by geniuses of self-promotion. - Teenagers who are mesmerized by pop culture and say they would rather be the assistant to a celebrity than president of a university or a successful business enterprise. - Composers of classical music who have turned music into mathematics and have lost their audience as a result, while great composers are dismissed and ridiculed by critics. - Promoters of rock, pop, and rap music that have corrupted our musical culture while crying all the way to the bank. - Modern artists who promote the credo "Art is what you can get away with." - Graduates of prestigious colleges who are who are unfamiliar with the great events of American history, and who can't tell the difference between the words of Thomas Jefferson and those of Karl Marx. - Librarians who are busy taking our best books off the shelves of their libraries. - Teachers who smile and nod while children make mistakes in reading. - Lawyers and government bureaucrats who can't write a simple English sentence - English professors who have never read a play by Shakespeare. But "Mark My Words" isn't just about our cultural problems; it also offers solutions to those problems. You'll meet real heroes in "Mark My Words" like the inner city teacher who changed the lives of her students by starting her own school. You'll celebrate the achievements of composers, writers, and artists who have stood for integrity in an age of cultural confusion. The solution cannot be found in academia, government, or the entertainment industry. It can be found in our own energy, inspiration, and resolve. This book is dedicated to the proposition that we should pursue "cultural conservation," devoting the same energy to preserving our cultural resources that we devote to preserving our natural resources. "Mark My Words" details what we can do as a society and what you can do as an individual to embark on an exciting journey of discovery that can truly impact your daily life. If you are a parent, a grandparent, a teacher, a student, or someone who cares about music, books, art, language, and our history as a nation, you will want to read this book.

A study of the lives of women of the Bible of whom a "She..." statement is found. Each of these women was used of the Lord for a purpose. Most for good, some for what we would deem to be bad, but all ordained of Him. He worked in and through each of them so that we may learn from their lives. He preserved the details of their perspectives and actions so that we could apply them to ours today. For every "She...", the Lord has a lesson for us to learn.

Описание: It's been nineteen days since Isis Blake forgot about him. The boy she can't quite remember. She's stuck in the hospital with a turban-size bandage on her head, more Jell-o than a human being should ever face, and a tiny bit of localized amnesia.
Her only goal? To get out of this place before she becomes a complete nutjob herself. But as Isis's memories start to return, she realizes there's something important there at the edges of her mind. Something that may mean the difference between life and death.
Something about Sophia, Jack's girlfriend. Jack Hunter-the "Ice Prince"-remembers everything. Remembers Isis's purple hair and her smart-assed mouth.
Remembers that for a little while, Isis made him feel human. She made him feel. She burned a hole in the ice.and it's time to freeze back up.
Boys like him don't deserve girls like her. Because Jack is dangerous. And that danger might be the only thing protecting her from something far more threatening.
Her past.

Philip Pullman, author of 'His Dark Materials' trilogy, has remarked that after nourishment, shelter, and companionship, stories are the thing we need most in the world. This new collection of Rumi stories fills that need.
This fresh prose translation of 105 short teaching stories by Rumi, which form the core of the six-volume Masnavi, explores the hidden spiritual aspects of everyday experience. Rumi transforms the seemingly mundane events of daily life into profound Sufi teaching moments. These prose gems open the mystical portal to the world of the ancient mystic.
These stories include well-known and popular tales such as Angel of Death, The Sufi and His Cheating Wife, Moses and the Shepherd, Chickpeas, and The Greek and Chinese Painters as well as the less commonly quoted parables: The Basket Weaver, The Mud Eater, and A Sackful of Pebbles.
Rumi's voice alternates between playful and authoritative, whether he is telling stories of ordinary lives or inviting the discerning reader to higher levels of introspection and attainment of transcendent values. Mafi's translations delicately reflect the nuances of Rumi's poetry while retaining the positive tone of all of Rumi's writings, as well as the sense of suspense and drama that mark the essence of the Masnavi.
