Murder In The Doghouse
Raymond Stanford is being framed for murder. On the run, he has to prove his innocence before Friday night's big concert where the Philharmonic is due to play a newly commissioned work by the mysterious Serbian composer, Predrag Feodorovic. Can this unexpected whirlwind of criminal conspiracy and musical discovery prepare Raymond for the performance of a lifetime? In the symphony orchestra, the double bass section is fondly known as 'the doghouse'. As an instrument, the double bass is notoriously difficult to play, and often becomes the butt of jokes in orchestral circles. Double bass players are usually shy creatures, shunning the public eye whenever they can, so when circumstances force them into the spotlight, it can be absolute murder.
Who was Who on TV
The information herein was accumulated of fifty some odd years. The collection process started when TV first came out and continued until today. The books are in alphabetical order and cover shows from the 1940s to 2010. The author has added a brief explanation of each show and then listed all the characters, who played the roles and for the most part, the year or years the actor or actress played that role. Also included are most of the people who created the shows, the producers, directors, and the writers of the shows. These books are a great source of trivia information and for most of the older folk will bring back some very fond memories. I know a lot of times we think back and say, "Who was the guy that played such and such a role?" Enjoy!
Doing the Best I Can
Across the political spectrum, unwed fatherhood is denounced as one of the leading social problems of today. Doing the Best I Can is a strikingly rich, paradigm-shifting look at fatherhood among inner-city men often dismissed as “deadbeat dads.” Kathryn Edin and Timothy J. Nelson examine how couples in challenging straits come together and get pregnant so quickly—without planning. The authors chronicle the high hopes for forging lasting family bonds that pregnancy inspires, and pinpoint the fatal flaws that often lead to the relationship’s demise. They offer keen insight into a radical redefinition of family life where the father-child bond is central and parental ties are peripheral...
Hooks in Popular Music
This volume is the first book-length study of hooks in popular music. Hooks - those memorable musical moments for listeners such as a riff or catchy melodic phrase – are arguably the guiding principle of much modern popular music. The concept of the hook involves aspects of melody, rhythm, harmony, production, lyrical and cultural meaning - and how these interact within a song’s topline and backing track. Hooks are also inherently related to the human capacities for memory and attention, and interact with our previous experiences with music. Understanding hooks in popular music requires a new interdisciplinary approach drawing from popular music studies, pop musicology, and music psychology, and this book draws from each of these disciplines to understand the hooks present in a broad range of popular music styles from the last thirty years.
Oxford Handbook of Music Psychology
The field of Music Psychology has grown dramatically in the past 20 years, to emerge from being just a minor topic to one of mainstream interest within the brain sciences. However, until now, there has been no comprehensive reference text in the field. The Oxford Handbook of Music Psychology is a landmark text providing, for the first time ever, a comprehensive overview of the latest developments in this fast-growing area of research. With contributions from over fifty experts in the field, the range and depth of coverage is unequalled. All the chapters combine a solid review of the relevant literature with well-reasoned arguments and robust discussions of the major findings, as well as orig...
The fear in me
Nay has for years had a crush on her friend Tim, but he has shown no interest in her. Everything changes one day when a new boy moves into the house next door. Although he is very withdrawn and dismissive Nay feels attracted to him. In confusion she wonders how that fellow has so quickly conquered her heart. And why is Tim just now trying to get close to her when she is no longer sure what she really feels for him? Jason wants only one thing: to be left alone! Just the thought of the slightest touch is enough to make him break out in sweat, so he has developed many defence mechanisms. Till now no psychologist has been able to help him overcome his fears. So why should that saucy new girl next door get involved with him? And why does he suddenly want to be “normal” at any price? Just as the two of them are getting closer to each other despite the circumstances Jason is confronted with the true reasons for his fear, and memories of that change everything...
Ireland in Crisis?
The first annual conference of ICIS, the international congress of Irish studies, was held at, and academically sponsored by, the University of California at Berkeley in July 2012. The four main themes of the conference were: Performing Arts; Literature, Language, and Identity; Politics, Technology, and the Economy; and Issues of Intellectual Freedom. These proceedings of this highly successful event, in conjunction with the editor’s Ireland: a colony once again (CSP, 2012), attempt to explore the reinstatement of Irish identity in our present, vastly-changed political and cultural landscape.

From the composer’s perspective the book investigates the psychological attributes of creative cognition whose associations become the foundation for an understanding of embodied creativity in musical composition. The ...
