Описание: Melodies, Rhythm and Cognition in Foreign Language Learning is a collection of essays reflecting on the relationship between language and music, two unique, innate human capacities. This book provides a clear explanation of the centrality of melodies and rhythm to foreign language learning acquisition. The interplay between language music brings to applied linguists inquiries into the nature and function of speech melodies, the role of prosody and the descriptions of rhythmical patterns in verbal behaviour. Musical students seem to be better equipped for language learning, although melodies and rhythm can benefit all types of students at any age. In fact, in this book melodies and rhythm are considered to be a springboard for the enhancement of the learning of foreign languages.

Описание:

Music has been more than just entertainment. It's been an outlet, an inspiration and a healing. If it wasn't for the art, I think my life along with many others would've been carried out differently. From the lyrics to the instrumental, each and every song inflicts an emotion needed each day. Whether it be happiness, sadness, anger or sorrow. This book will showcase how my life and the other creatives in this book have been affected over the years. We are united by this art form and it has brought me in contact with some talented individuals. Music has been very therapeutic for me and I hope you find something in this book that you will connect with. Welcome to Audio Therapy.

Описание:

From Carlos Fonseca comes a dazzling, kaleidoscopic epic of art, politics, and hidden realities

Just before the dawn of the new millennium, a curator at a New Jersey museum of natural history receives an unusual invitation from a celebrated fashion designer. She shares the curator's fascination with the hidden forms of the animal kingdom--with camouflage and subterfuge--and she proposes that they collaborate on an exhibition, the form of which itself remains largely obscure, even as they enter into a strange relationship marked by evasion and elision.

Seven years later, after the death of the designer, the curator recovers the archive of their never-completed project. During a long night of insomnia, he finds within the archive a series of clues to the true story of the designer's family, a mind-bending puzzle that winds from Haifa, Israel, to bohemian 1970s New York to the Latin American jungle. On the way, he discovers a cast of characters whose own fixations interrogate the unstable frontiers between art, science, politics, and religion: an aging photographer, living nearly alone in an abandoned mining town where subterranean fires rage without end, who creates models of ruined cities; a former model turned conceptual artist--and a defendant in a trial over the very nature and purpose of art; a young indigenous boy who has received a vision of the end of the world. Reality is a curtain, as the curator realizes, and to draw it back is to reveal the theater of obsession.

Natural History is the portrait of a world trapped between faith and irony, between tragedy and farce. A defiantly contemporary and impressively ambitious novel in the tradition of Italo Calvino and Ricardo Piglia, it confirms Carlos Fonseca as one of the most daring writers of his generation.

Описание:

Listen to Rap Exploring a Musical Genre discusses the 50 most influential, commercially successful, and important rappers, rap crews (bands), rap albums, and rap singles. Rap began as an American phenomenon, so the book's emphasis is on Americans, although it also includes information on Canadian, British, Indian, and African rappers and crews. Its organization makes information easily accessible for readers, and the emphasis on the sound of the music gives readers a new angle from which to appreciate the music.

Unlike other titles in the series, this volume concentrates solely on rap music. Included in the book are rappers who range from the earliest practitioners of the genre to rappers who are redefining the genre today. A background section introduces the genre, while a legacy section shows how rap has cemented its place in the world. Additionally, another section shows the tremendous impact rap has had on popular culture.

Описание: Housekeeping refers to the management of duties and chores involved in the running of a household, such as cleaning, cooking, home maintenance, shopping, laundry and bill pay. These tasks may be performed by any of the household members, or by other persons hired to perform these tasks. The primary housekeeping duty is to safeguard the cleanliness and orderliness of hotel rooms and to ascertain that they are properly stocked with the supplies to which guests are entitled. A housekeeping manager not only oversees housekeepers in leading their duties but also examines any complaints guests make and takes remedial action. Managers supervise housekeepers in their duties and ensure that they perform to the prescribed hotel standards. Housekeeping Management explores the role of the housekeeping department in hotel/lodging operations, and focuses mainly on the effective communication between the housekeeping, front office, and engineering and maintenance staff. Housekeeping duties include cleaning and turning down rooms, re-ordering rooms once guests leave, carrying away room service trays from hallways to the location landings, and checking that all public areas within the hotel are clean and orderly. The manager prepares the daily work schedule and assigns housekeepers to different tasks depending on the premise requirements for the day. A hotel housekeeping manager is responsible for fostering team spirit among the housekeepers and directs them toward achieving guest satisfaction.

Описание: To have maintained its place as an essential text for so many years Human Resource Management in the Hospitality Industry has had to remain relevant to its broad audience. Todays hospitality professional must be an expert at managing many functions. Altogether, human resource management is the process of proper and maximises utilisation of available limited skilled workforce. The core purpose of the human resource management is to make efficient use of existing human resource in the organisation. Managing the workforce effectively is perhaps the single most important issue in delivering first-class service which underpins a hotels performance, reputation and profitability. At the international level, the countries of origin of hotel staff, particularly management and supervisors, have changed dramatically. In the past, companies, in order to preserve their brand integrity in new countries, tended to post skilled staff from their own already successful properties. In many countries, however, immigration rules have changed in order to protect local employment, ensuring that home-grown employees have employment priority. In addition, more international companies can now rely on a more abundant source of local trained labor in domestic markets, as a result of local education and training initiatives. Even so, restrictions on importing senior management and skilled supervisors present companies with challenges as they work to protect the integrity of their brand. This book provides the reader with an essential understanding of the purpose, policies and processes concerned with managing an enterprises workforce within the current business and social environment. The book examines the nature and assesses the impact of HRM within a highly under-researched division of the service sector, namely the hospitality industry. The book provides comprehensive overview of the hospitality and tourism industries, and emphasizes the importance of effective human resources management to all organisations within them.

Описание: This book was intended as a Portuguese-English conversational guide or phrase book, but is regarded as a classic source of unintentional humour, as the given English translations are generally completely incoherent. The humour appears to be a result of dictionary-aided literal translation, which causes many idiomatic expressions to be translated wildly inappropriately. Mark Twain said of English as She Is Spoke that "Nobody can add to the absurdity of this book, nobody can imitate it successfully."
