tudying Rhythm (3rd Edition)

Anne C. Hall Professor Emeritus, "tudying Rhythm (3rd Edition)"


2004 | ISBN-10: 0130406023 | 176 pages | PDF | 10 MB

Fluency in reading musical rhythms, and accuracy in performing them, are essential skills for musicians. To help students acquire these skills, Studying Rhythm offers over 350 extended rhythmic studies, to be sung or spoken, tapped or clapped. Each of the thirty-one carefully graded chapters deals with a different meter or metrical patterns or rhythmic combination. The book begins with the simplest patterns in short measures and progresses to cross-rhythms and metric modulation, and may therefore be used for three- or four-year programs in musical theory and skills.


Distinguishing features include:


musically coherent studies, in such traditional simple musical forms as ternary, variation, and canon.


studies of sufficient length to afford repetition, reinforce learning, and give practice in maintaining a steady tempo.


many two-part and some three-part studies, providing practice in solo and ensemble performance of different rhythms and, in later chapters, conflicting rhythms at the same time.


studies suitable not only for reading, but for dictation, improvisation, and composition.


materials that may be used with a variety of pedagogical approaches, several of which are explained.


very short preparatory exercises for each group of studies and


a chapter of cross-rhythms based on patterns found in African music.


New to this edition:


a three-part study in each chapter.


studies dealing with septuplets.


more studies with dynamic shapes specified, which foster performance as an enterprise in music-making.

Moral Panic and the Politics of Anxiety

Moral Panic and the Politics of Anxiety by SEAN HIER


English | 2011 | ISBN: 0415555558, 0415555566 | 264 pages | PDF | 1,2 MB

Moral Panic and the Politics of Anxiety is a collection of original essays written by some of the world’s leading social scientists. It seeks to provide unique insight into the importance of moral panic as a routine feature of everyday life, whilst also developing an integrated framework for moral panic research by widening the scope of scholarship in the area.




Many of the key twenty-first century contributions to moral panic theory have moved beyond the parameters of the sociology of deviance to consider the importance of moral panic for identity formation, national security, industrial risk, and character formation. Reflecting this growth, the book brings together recognized moral panic researchers with prominent scholars in moral regulation, social problems, cultural fear, and health risks, allowing for a more careful and critical discussion around the cultural and political significance of moral panic to emerge.




This book will prove valuable reading for both undergraduate and postgraduate students on courses such as politics and the media, regulatory policy, the body and identity, theory and political sociology, and sociology of culture.

Lives in Common: Arabs and Jews in Jerusalem, Jaffa and Hebron

Lives in Common: Arabs and Jews in Jerusalem, Jaffa and Hebron by Menachem Klein


English | 2014 | ISBN: 0199396264 | 256 pages | PDF | 1,2 MB

Most books dealing with the Israeli-Palestinian conflict see events through the eyes of policy-makers, generals or diplomats. Menachem Klein offers an illuminating alternative by telling the intertwined histories, from street level upwards, of three cities-Jerusalem, Jaffa, and Hebron-and their intermingled Jewish, Muslim and Christian inhabitants, from the nineteenth century to the present. Each of them was and still is a mixed city. Jerusalem and Hebron are holy places, while Jaffa till 1948 was Palestine"s principal city and main port of entry. Klein portrays a society in the late Ottoman period in which Jewish-Arab interactions were intense, frequent, and meaningful, before the onset of segregation and separation gradually occurred in the Mandate era. The unequal power relations and increasing violence between Jews and Arabs from 1948 onwards are also scrutinised. Throughout, Klein bases his writing not on the official record but rather on a hitherto hidden private world of Jewish-Arab encounters, including marriages and squabbles, kindnesses and cruelties, as set out in dozens of memoirs, diaries, biographies and testimonies. Lives in Common brings together the voices of Jews and Arabs in a mosaic of fascinating stories, of lived experiences and of the major personalities that shaped them over the last 150 years.
