Making Music with the Young Child with Special Needs
"Intended to help to make the most of the child's interest in music as early as possible, this book describes the ways in which music can be used and provides practical help in starting to play simple musical instruments with the child. The first part of the book explains how musical activities can help to stimulate skills in other areas such as language and communication, describes a range of basic instruments, and outlines the approach. It emphasizes the fact that prior knowledge of music is not needed, and also provides a choice of very accessible ways for parents to approach music themselves, to give them the confidence to make music with their child. The second part of the book describes in detail thirteen musical activities, with ideas for variations and further developments." "Elaine Streeter's guide will help parents and others to learn how they can add to a child's fun - one of the most rewarding things anyone can do."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Paths of Fire
Type “Mikhail Kalashnikov” into Google and the biography of the inventor will come back to you almost at the speed of light. Squeeze the trigger of a Kalashnikov and a bullet is kicked up the barrel by an archaic chemical explosion that would have been quite familiar to Oliver Cromwell or General Custer. The gun—antique, yet contemporary—still dominates the world. Geopolitical events and even consumer culture have been molded by the often-unseen research that firearms evoked. The new science of Galileo Galilei and Isaac Newton owed much to the Renaissance study of ballistics. But research into making guns and aiming them also brought on the more recent invention of mass production and kickstarted the contemporary field of artificial intelligence. This book follows the history of the gun and its often-unsuspected wider linkages, looking from the first cannons to modern gunnery, and to the yet-to-be-realized electrical futures of rays and beams.
