Paperback. Condición: Very Good. This stimulating Very Short Introduction to music invites us to really think about music and the values and qualities we ascribe to it. The world teems with different kinds of music-traditional, folk, classical, jazz, rock, pop-and each type of music tends to come with its own way of thinking. Drawing on a wealth of accessible examples ranging from Beethoven to Chinese zither music, Nicholas Cook attempts to provide a framework for thinking about all music. By examining the personal, social, and cultural values that music embodies, the book reveals the shortcomings of traditional conceptions of music, and sketches a more inclusive approach emphasizing the role of performers and listeners.

Soft cover. Condición: Very Good. No Jacket. 1st Edition. This quarto magazine-style "newspaper" ("registered as a newspaper for transmission in the United Kingdom") measures 10-1/4 X 14-1/4 inches (26 X 36 cm. -- slightly larger than the bed of our scanner) on glossy, coated stock. Welcoming Sierra Leone into the Commonwealth; excavation of the 2,400-year-old temple of Hemithea, near Pazarlik; photos of "The smiling victor Dr. Fidel Castro the Prime Minister"; calcified bodies being uncovered at Pompeii; Lyndon Johnson watching John Kennedy sign a bill that makes Johnson chairman of the National Aeronautics and Space Council; John Glenn on the ground in Mercury spacecraft; "Beautiful Queen Farah of Iran." The Triumph Herald "1200" saloon, a boxy and unimpressive little two-door (though not much worse than the Austin A40 advertised in color inside the rear wrap) is named "Car of the Month" for its "attractive styling and eye appeal" (!) A full-page ad tries to convince us the beautiful people (including some dude wearing a MONOCLE) are drinking"Whisky and Canada Dry Ginger Ale" at the Cafe Royal, Regent Street, at 10:30 p.m. (like, in the same glass?), while a half-page airline ad urges travelers to fly via M*E*A Comet 4C to "Lebanon, The Land With Everything," including scantily clad showgirls in "Beirut, the playground of the Middle East." (How's that tourist trade coming along, Hamas, Hezbollah?) The de Haviiland Comet, with four de Havilland Ghost turbojet engines buried in the wing roots, world's first commercial jet airliner, was introduced in 1949 and withdrawn from service after a year, after suffering "catastrophic in-flight break-ups," which can spoil your whole day. Two of these were found to be caused by "structural failure resulting from metal fatigue in the airframe, a phenomenon not fully understood at the time." (The square windows proved to be unwise, as well. The redesigned Comet 4 debuted in 1958 and remained in commercial service until 1981.) Pages numbered 733 through 776, plus the glossy outer wraps. This single issue of the periodical now reduced from $20.

Paperback. Condición: Good. Even before the recent Newtown, CT massacre, gun violence and gun control has preoccupied public officals and legislators at all levels of government as well as powerful special interest groups for years. The Gun Debate: What Everyone Needs to Know tours the issues that Americans debate when they talk about guns. The volume includes information on gun control pertaining to U.S. history, jurisprudence, cultural beliefs, political agendas, epidemiologcal data, criminology, law and regulation, and policy effectivness. Throughout, economist Philip J. Cook and political scientist Kristin Goss illustrate for readers which questions and issues are contentious and on which there is something approaching consensus. They answer basic questions like: Where do people acquire guns? Is gun violence rising or falling? Who is at risk for being shot? How much does gun violence cost? And tackle tougher ones such as: Do video games and the media contribute to gun violence? Why is the gun control movement relatively weak? Is it better to enforce the laws we have or enact new ones? The answers to these questions will help the general reader to make sense of the volley of ideologically driven statistics and slogans that characterize our national conversation on firearms. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in getting a clear view of the highly polarizing topic of gun control. The book has been read but remains in clean condition. All pages are intact and the cover is intact. Some minor wear to the spine.

Paperback. Condición: Very Good. Beginning as a renewal movement within Anglicanism in the eighteenth century, Methodism had become the largest Protestant denomination in the USA in the nineteenth century, and is today one of the most vibrant forms of Christianity. Representing a complex spiritual and evangelistic experiment that involves a passionate commitment to worldwide mission, it covers a global network of Christian denominations. In this Very Short Introduction William J. Abraham trace Methodism from its origins in the work of John Wesley and the hymns of his brother, Charles Wesley, in the eighteenth century, right up to the present. Considering the identity, nature, and history of Methodism, Abraham provides a fresh account of the place of Methodism in the life and thought of the Christian Church. Describing the message of Methodism, and who the Methodists are, he also considers the practices of Methodism, and discusses the global impact of Methodism and its decline in the homelands. Finally Abraham looks forward, and considers the future prospects for Methodism.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. 'Remarkably beautiful and pastoral' JUSTIN WELBY, ARCHBISHOP OF CANTERBURY 'Brimming with wisdom and humanity' DAME SARAH MULLALLY, DBE, BISHOP OF LONDON Struggling with God gets right to the heart of a great predicament for many Christians. When it feels as if our struggles are overwhelming - and our capacity for faith and hope and love is diminished - how is it possible to maintain, never mind nourish, our relationship with God? The truth, as this deeply compassionate volume reminds us, is that Jesus came alongside people wrestling with mental health problems. Many familiar conditions, such as anxiety and depression, and more severe ones, including bipolar affective disorder and schizophrenia, are addressed by the authors here. Dispelling common myths and misconceptions, they explore the impact such mental health disorders can have on individual Christians, Church and society. Each chapter includes biblical reflections relevant to its theme, prayers, questions to facilitate individual/group study, and pointers to further reading. In short, the book presents a Christian vision of spiritual and mental wellbeing through prayerful struggling with God. A fresh, hopeful and scriptural companion for both those struggling with mental illness and their supporters, carers, and the church community who like Jesus, seek to come alongside all with the practical and spiritual hope of a God who journeys with us in our suffering. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
