The Arabic Lexicographical Tradition: From the 2nd/8th to the 12th/18th Century (repost)

Ramzi Baalbaki, "The Arabic Lexicographical Tradition: From the 2nd/8th to the 12th/18th Century"


2014 | ISBN-10: 9004273972 | 489 pages | PDF | 10 MB

A comprehensive and methodologically sophisticated history of Arabic lexicography, this book fills a serious gap in modern scholarship. Besides meticulously examining the factors that led to the emergence of lexicographical writing as of the second/eighth century, the work comprises detailed discussions of the aims, range, and approaches of the most important writings and writers of lexica specialized in specific topics and multi thematic thesauri, and the lexica arranged according to roots. The organisation of the book and the lists of works cited in the various genres make it easy for the reader to find his way through an enormous amount of material. From a broader perspective, the book highlights the relationship between Arabic lexicography and other areas of linguistic study, grammar in particular, and the centrality of Qurʾan and poetry to lexicographical writing.

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.
