Fiona: Dr. Richards' Littles 17
Dr. Richards' Little Fans! Enjoy this new Little story!Gritting her teeth at the pain in her hand and shoulder, Fiona gingerly tried to lift most of the boxes with her left hand by wedging them against her stomach and using her whole body to shift the weight. The pain was getting worse. She'd replaced her right glove on her hand but now it was skin tight around her swollen flesh. Fiona peeled it from her hand wincing as her injured hand She knew that she'd never be able to pull it back on again. Against her best efforts, Fiona felt tears run down her cheeks. Once the cart was loaded, she wiped the tears away and pulled down the bill of her cap to hide her blotchy face. Using her body and her...
The Music of John Ireland
This title was first published in 2000. John Ireland (1879-1962) was as elusive as the music that he composed. His music resists easy categorization, in part because it is linked so closely to specific events, places and people in Ireland's personal life. The Music of John Ireland explores the expressive and extramusical qualities of Ireland's compositions and their complex system of personal musical symbols, images and ideas. Fiona Richards interweaves biography and musical analysis in a series of chapters which take their themes from the significant influences in Ireland's life: Anglo-Catholicism, paganism, the countryside, the city, love and war. Ireland emerges as highly individual, struggling with his religious beliefs, his sexuality, and an uncertainty as to his success. His music, often an expression of a state of mind, is given, for the first time, the close investigation that it merits. Ireland preferred to compose on a small scale, showing a masterful command of form and a gift for melody. Richards reveals how the essence of the man shines through in the miniatures that he wrote.
The Soundscapes of Australia
Australia offers tremendous scope for understanding the relationship between music, spirituality and landscape. This major, generously-illustrated new volume examines, in fifteen chapters, some of the ways in which composers and performers have attempted to convey a sense of the Australian landscape through musical means.

Ranging across the country, from remote parts of the Northern Territory to the bustling east coast cities, from Tasmanian wilderness to tropical Queensland, the book includes references to art and literature as well as music. Issues of n...

Playtime
Play is one of the most basic aspects of a young child's life, but by the time we have children of our own, many of us have lost confidence in our ability to play. Mother and daughter Elspeth & Fiona Richards explain why play is so important and what role we - as parents, grandparents or other carers can play.
An Introduction to the Humanities - Myths and Conventions - Block 5
This block begins with a study of the forms and traditions of drama in Shaw's "Pygmalion" and Euripedes "Medea" then moves on to music with Richard Strauss' "Don Juan". Concludes with Jean Rhys' "Wide Sargasso Sea". Focuses throughout on ideas about conventions and traditions, and myth and gender.
Circulating Cultures
Circulating Cultures is an edited book about the transformation of cultural materials through the Australian landscape. The book explores cultural circulation, exchange and transit, through events such as the geographical movement of song series across the Kimberley and Arnhem Land; the transformation of Australian Aboriginal dance in the hands of an American choreographer; and the indigenisation of symbolic meanings in heavy metal music. Circulating Cultures crosses disciplinary boundaries, with contributions from historians, musicologists, linguists and dance historians, to depict shifts of cultural materials through time, place and interventions from people. It looks at the way Indigenous and non-Indigenous performing arts have changed through intercultural influence and collaboration.
The Anra Scarab
The potential of the scarab seal is still neglected by many archaeologists. They are primarily considered for chronological purposes, and so their capacity as an historical document is under-rated, as is their value as an archaeological tool. Luckily, more recent studies are beginning to assess the archaeological and historical value of scarabs, and in particular design scarabs, revealing them as potential indicators of cultural interaction, and it is within this genre that the anra (identified always bya sequence of hieroglyphs which includes the letters n and r) scarab is considered in this extensive study. The aim of this work is to try and establish the status, function, meaning, and significance of the anra scarab, and possibly offer something new with regard to the nature of the relationships that existed between the countries of Africa and the Levant during the latter part of the Middle Bronze Age.
