Read Me a Rhyme Please
Read Me a Rhyme, Please! is designed for two age groups: children as yet unable to read and older children who not only can read but can also answer the follow-up questions. The non-readers will enjoy listening to Ernestine Beyer’s bouncing, melodious rhythms in shorter versions of the poems. The older children will enjoy a range of activities related to the complete versions of the poems, with help from teachers or caregivers when needed. Read Me a Rhyme, Please! is a book that little ones will grow into. As the poems become increasingly familiar, an enriched vocabulary will seep into their consciousness, along with an enduring appreciation of fine poetry. Before long they will be eager to read the entire poems themselves and choose the right answers to the questions. The book’s amusing illustrations will appeal both to children and their caregivers in school or at home.
Determined by Christ: The Pauline Metaphor ‘Being in Christ’
What does it mean that the believers are ‘in Christ’ (Rom 8:1; 2 Cor 5:17 etc.)? The phrase has become so common to Christian discourse that it obscures the original meaning. By analysing key passages and stripping back the interpretive layers, this book portrays ‘in Christ’ in the light of Greek language usage. Insights from metaphor theory, onomastics, and ritual theory further the investigation. The book also addresses prepositional phrases like ‘with Christ’ and how ‘in Christ’ developed in the deutero-Pauline letters. This comprehensive perspective illuminates a crucial early-Christian phrase and how believers viewed their relationship to Christ.
Storytelling in Opera and Musical Theater
Storytelling in Opera and Musical Theater is the first systematic exploration of how sung forms of drama tell stories. Through examples from opera's origins to contemporary musicals, Nina Penner examines the roles of character-narrators and how they differ from those in literary and cinematic works, how music can orient spectators to characters' points of view, how being privy to characters' inner thoughts and feelings may evoke feelings of sympathy or empathy, and how performers' choices affect not only who is telling the story but what story is being told. Unique about Penner's approach is her engagement with current work in analytic philosophy. Her study reveals not only the resources thi...

He teaches writing and literature at the Richard Stockton College in Pomona, New Jersey, and lives in Port Republic, New Jersey.

Biopolitics, Militarism, and Development
Bringing together original, contemporary ethnographic research on the Northeast African state of Eritrea, this book shows how biopolitics - the state-led deployment of disciplinary technologies on individuals and population groups - is assuming particular forms in the twenty-first century. Once hailed as the “African country that works,” Eritrea’s apparently successful post-independence development has since lapsed into economic crisis and severe human rights violations. This is due not only to the border war with Ethiopia that began in 1998, but is also the result of discernible tendencies in the “high modernist” style of social mobilization for development first adopted by the Er...
