Elements of Contemporary Clarinet Technique
Inspired by the periodic table of elements, "Elements of Contemporary Clarinet Technique" takes the advancing clarinetist through a series of progressive etudes that address techniques both fundamental and extended. Chock full of new etudes for a new age, "Elements of Contemporary Clarinet Technique" explores foundational techniques like effective slurring, light articulation, and stable breath support while also delving into modern processes like circular breathing, double and slap tonguing, multiphonics, and more. Each etude, crafted by award-winning composer Roger Zare, draws its inspiration from a different element of the periodic table: "Gold" shimmers with lustrous connections, while "...
Coloring Book 47
Coloring books for kids is an activity that is educational and fun at the same time. These books usually have large pictures and clear contours, specifically designed to make coloring easier for children. The designs often vary, from cute cartoon characters, cute animals, to charming natural landscapes. Bright and varied colors dominate the pages, awakening children's creativity and imagination. The coloring process can help them develop fine motor skills, improve focus, and teach them about color selection and coordination. Apart from that, coloring can also be a relaxing activity for children, helping them deal with stress or anxiety in a fun way. Coloring books often also contain educational elements, such as numbers, letters, or other concepts embedded in the images. By coloring these books, children can not only express themselves but also learn while playing, making it an ideal combination for their all-round development.
Our Shared Storm
Through speculative fiction, five interlocking novelettes explore the possible realities of our climate future. What is the future of our climate? Given that our summers now regularly feature Arctic heat waves and wildfire blood skies, polar vortex winters that reach all the way down to Texas, and “100-year” storms that hit every few months, it may seem that catastrophe is a done deal. As grim as things are, however, we still have options. Combining fiction and nonfiction and employing speculative tools for scholarly purposes, Our Shared Storm explores not just one potential climate future but five possible outcomes dependent upon our actions today. Written by speculative-fiction writer ...
Hey Batter, Hey Batter
Young children, when growing up, often list a parent as their hero or role model. This can become complicated if the parent is enormously successful and the child, upon growing, up decides to enter the same profession of his parent. The shadow cast can be difficult to escape, and the parent must allow room for the child to grow and develop his own persona. In this story, the other parent must carefully balance the needs of the child and spouse.
The Face of the Deep
In The Face of the Deep, a series of brutal rape/murders puts Akron police detective Robert Fontenot and his beautiful partner, Lauren Reynolds, on the trail of a vicious and powerful killer carefully selecting his victims to satisfy his lust for dominance. As the killer’s plot is revealed, Fontenot finds that he must not only match wits with a murderer as clever as he is maniacal but also come to terms with his past, which eerily parallels that of the killer.
Lessons from PFI and other projects
There are legitimate concerns being expressed about the continuing financial cost of PFI for public organisations such as NHS Trusts. The Committee believes that some of the Government's case for using PFI has not been based on robust analysis, but on ill-founded comparisons and invalid assumptions. The costs and benefits identified in business cases need to be revisited after contracts are signed and periodically thereafter, to inform future procurement decisions. In particular, the Committee's view is that the Government should revisit the tax assumptions it builds into the cost and benefit case for PFI. Taxpayers could get a much better deal from PFI, and the taxpayer's position is also m...
Tracking T.J.
An old wood carved print in a dusty book and an inherited double-barreled shotgun sets a former investigative reporter to wondering about the story behind them. What he found was a Mississippi boy whose grandfather had fought a bear with a knife, was wiped out by a hurricane, and whose father fought in the Civil War with five of his six sons, including himself. T.J. Sandifer was the product of the migrations of southern farmers and their trials and tribulations influenced by weather, terrain, economy, issues of state's rights, slavery and war. His was an ordinary family in extraordinary times, reflective of thousands of other early Americans who contributed to the making of a nation. His name was Thomas Jefferson Sandifer, but everybody just called him Tee-Jay.

Deconstructing Developmental Psychology
What is childhood and why, and how, did psychology come to be the arbiter of 'correct'or 'normal' development? How do actual lived childhoods connect with theories about child development? In this completely revised and updated edition, Deconstructing Developmental Psychology interrogates the assumptions and practices surrounding the psychology of child development, providing a critical evaluation of the role and contribution of developmental psychology within social practice. In the decade since the first edition was published, there have been many major changes. The role accorded childcare experts and the power of the 'psy complex' have, if anything, intensified. This book addresses how sh...
Pastoral Care in Late Anglo-Saxon England
The role of pastoral care reconsidered in the context of major changes within the Anglo-Saxon church. The tenth and eleventh centuries saw a number of very significant developments in the history of the English Church, perhaps the most important being the proliferation of local churches, which were to be the basis of the modern parochial system. Using evidence from homilies, canon law, saints' lives, and liturgical and penitential sources, the articles collected in this volume focus on the ways in which such developments were reflected in pastoral care, considering what it consisted of at this time, how it was provided and by whom. Starting with an investigation of the secular clergy, their recruitment and patronage, the papers move on to examine a variety of aspects of late Anglo-Saxon pastoral care, including church due payments, preaching, baptism, penance, confession, visitation of the sick and archaeological evidence of burial practice. Special attention is paid to the few surviving manuscripts which are likely to have been used in the field and the evidence they provide for the context, the actions and the verbal exchanges which characterised pastoral provisions.
