Какое место занимают композиторы в мире современной музыкальной культуры и каковы их перспективы в будущем? В своей предыдущей книге Владимир Мартынов — исследователь и композитор — вынес окончательный приговор: время композиторов ушло в прошлое. Закончилась ли вместе с ними музыка? Ответ на этот вопрос содержит новая книга Мартынова — «Зона opus posth». Какая музыка зазвучит в новой, «посткомпозиторской» реальности, каковы законы, по которым она создается и функционирует, какой она станет — музыкальная культура будущего, — обо всем этом Мартынов рассуждает не только как «футуролог» и музыковед, но и как философ и социолог.

Bob Marley was the first, and possibly the only, superstar to emerge from the Third World. Although he lived a short life, only 36 years, Bob penned an enormous quantity of songs, pioneering a new reggae rhythm and sound that was distinctly Jamaican. An expert lyricist who could more than hold his own with any contemporary hip-hop word slinger, Bob crafted emotionally powerful chains of words that packed a serious punch. Twenty-five years after his death, the music of Bob Marley and the Wailers is as popular and relevant as it was the day it was released. Author David Moskowitz gives readers an inside look at the man behind the legend. Fans from all corners of the globe are a testament to the fact that his music transcends race, color, economic class, even language. From Marley's poverty stricken early childhood in rural Jamaica to break out his faith in Rastafarianism, this biography recounts the life and music of one of the most famous popular artists of the last century, an incredible story for long-time fans as well for a new and ever-increasing audience who were too young to witness Marley's history-making music career firsthand. A timeline, photos, and a rich bibliography of print and electronic sources make this biography ideal for both research purposes and casual reading.

Despite the vast differences between the Right and the Left over the role of education in the production of inequality one common element both sides share is a sense that education can and should do something about society, to either restore what is being lost or radically alter what is there now. The question was perhaps put most succinctly by the radical educator George Counts in 1932 when he asked "Dare the School Build a New Social Order?", challenging entire generations of educators to participate in, actually to lead, the reconstruction of society. Over 70 years later, celebrated educator, author and activist Michael Apple revisits Counts’ now iconic works, compares them to the equally powerful voices of minoritized people, and again asks the seemingly simply question of whether education truly has the power to change society. In this groundbreaking work, Apple pushes educators toward a more substantial understanding of what schools do and what we can do to challenge the relations of dominance and subordination in the larger society. This touchstone volume is both provocative and honest about the ideological and economic conditions that groups in society are facing and is certain to become another classic in the canon of Apple’s work and the literature on education more generally.

Este ensayo es un tremendo contraataque a tamaña farsa. Ofrece un profundo análisis, aunque expresado con llaneza y claridad, en torno a conceptos sociales y éticos tan importantes como la Ciudadanía, la Democracia, la Libertad (pública e individual), el Derecho, la Ley... desde los orígenes del debate en la Grecia clásica, pasando por la Ilustración hasta el convulso siglo XX. El resultado de esta revisión es demoledor: la grandeza de los planteamientos teóricos en los momentos cumbres del discurrir filosófico y político de la Historia de Occidente -la Gracia clásica, la Revolución francesa, las democracias modernas- resulta inversamente proporcional a la miseria, la injusticia, la violencia, la mezquindad y el horror humanos que han caracterizado en el plano 'práctico', a ras de tierra, en todo tiempo y lugar a las sociedades humanas; con una virulencia sin límites en el Capitalismo brutal del último siglo y las cómplices democracias occidentales.

This thesis describes the hardware design of a hybrid system for the composition and performance of electronic music in real-time. While analog circuitry is primarily employed in the generation and processing of sounds, digital circuitrsy is devoted to the exercise of control, under the immediate supervision of the composer/performer. Such a digital vs. analog partition, together with a proper choice of the man vs. machine interface, is intended to satisfy the niuch emphasized musical need for the immediate, real-time interaction between the composer/performer and his instrument.

Written for an audience embracing both students being introduced to theories and terminology of literacy and specialists in the field, the A-Z entries fall into five categories. The first and most numerous covers "definitions, process, influences, issues, types, and theories." The others cover "literacy assessment, literacy instruction, literacy resources and organizations, and literacy professional publications and reports." Throughout, literacy is examined not just as the capability of an individual to read and write but also as a dynamic force in society. Entries such as Gender and writing, Literacy and culture, Social nature of literacy, and Television and reading demonstrate literacy's inseparability from the society in which it functions. So, too, do articles on forms of expression that express social trends; these include Comics, Graffiti, and Instant messaging. The great majority, however, treat concepts and terms related to the study, acquisition, and teaching of literacy. These include Ebonics, Fluency, Reading clinics, Spelling, and Writing assessment. Complementary articles treat both sides of controversial issues such as the phonics-whole language debate.

By the end of the nineteenth century, it became evident to Iran's ruling Qajar elite that the state’s contribution to the promotion of modern education in the country was unable to meet the growing expectations set by Iranian society. Muzaffar al-Din Shah sought to remedy this situation by permitting the entry of the private sector into the field of modern education and in 1899 the first Baha’i school was established in Tehran. By the 1930s there were dozens of Baha’i schools. Their high standards of education drew many non-Baha’i students, from all sections of society. Here Soli Shahvar assesses these "forgotten schools" and investigates why they proved so popular not only with Baha’is, but Zoroastrians, Jews and especially Muslims. Shahvar explains why they were closed by the reformist Reza Shah in the late 1930s and the subsequent fragility of the Baha’is position in Iran.
