A treasury of current research in the history of medieval music! Twenty studies by established scholars, each reporting with an individual approach and method, each with a passionate interest in the subject. Taken together, the studies present a full range of recent scholarly achievement in the field, revealing the richly varied tapestry of medieval music that has come to light during the twentieth century. Topics range from thought-provoking meditations on perennial fundamental questions to intense engagement with the detail of materials both familiar and unfamiliar, including liturgical practices and musical traditions in specific times and places, life histories and fortunes of specific manuscripts, developments in musical style and practice, theory of monophonic and polyphonic music. At every turn these materials are treated with an eagerness to experience music as it was made in the Middle Ages. Richard L. Crocker   ’Essays on liturgical chant, polyphony, music theory, and computer-assisted analysis of melodic phrases are just some of the fascinating inclusions in this book, which is a seminal addition to the literature on medieval music. Highly recommended.’  Choice  ’There are 20 contributions here, many by distinguished scholars - a tribute to Gillingham's distinction as scholar and publisher.’ Early Music Review  ’The volume under review feels almost like a birthday present for every reader, not just for the dedicatee; it is the sort of book over whose contents page one lingers for awhile before sampling a sentence or two of particularly attractive-looking essays, and finally settling down to devouring the volume from cover to cover... It is an essential addition to any university library, and to the private library of any musicologist specializing in the early medieval period.  The range of topics is wide, encompassing many of the primary concerns of scholars in the field.  I have rarely encountered a collection whose essays are of such consist

Physical Expression on Stage and Screen provides new insight into the Alexander technique, which was pioneered by F. M. Alexander in the late 1800s … The best part of the book is the exercises (more than 100) that help actors explore their unique styles.  Many of the exercises are also supported by free online videos created by the author.  This no-nonsense explanation of the Alexander technique is accessible to untrained students and a good refresher for those knowledgeable about acting. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Lower-division undergraduates through faculty and professionals

Physical Expression on Stage and Screen

"It's hard to imagine a more needed book today than this searching exploration of the vicissitudes of our moral sense. Freud said that the ‘normal’ person was both more immoral and moral than s/he knew. Paul Marcus combines studies and thought from psychoanalysis and social psychology to illuminate eddies, corners and creative streams of the meaning of morality and links with wisdom. The work opens vistas that combine everyday dilemmas with our deepest hopes and touches what it means to be alive and a human being."Michael Eigen, The Challenge of Being Human and Dialogues with Michael Eigen: Psyche Singing
"Having taught these ‘mind-blowing’ classic social psychological studies for over thirty years in my sociology courses, I believed just about everything worth saying about them has been said –until I read Paul Marcus's splendid book. His psychoanalytically glossed interpretation of the classics, his finding common ground between experimental social psychology and psychoanalysis, and most importantly, his illumination of the significance of these classics for living a moral life, provide much ‘food for thought’ and, I hope, productive conversation between the disciplines and beyond."William B. Helmreich, Professor of Sociology and author of The Things They Say Behind Your Back: Stereotypes and the Myths Behind Them　 
"Is our behavior shaped by our unconscious internal drives, or demands of the external environment? Or both? Sadly, psychoanalysis and social psychology science (SPS) have remained totally separate paths to understanding human behavior, due to their 180-degree differences in concepts, methods, and outlook. Happily, this new volume by Paul Marcus offers us a long-overdue ‘conversation,’ applying psychoanalytic concepts to nine classic SPS experiments. Dr. Marcus is a distinguished, articulate, and erudite psychoanalyst who invites us to see more than ‘half the picture,’ by offering this book as a valuable opportunity to more fully understand behavior – reconciling the insights of social psychology and psychoanalysis."Harold Takooshian, PhD, past-President of the American Psychological Association’s divisions of International Psychology and General Psychology

'No such negativity can possibly be leveled against this new text...Professor Milman provides the best coverage of the historic development of English bankruptcy law since Professor David Graham QC's Landmarks article...this text is a must for institutional libraries where bankruptcy law is taught at undergraduate and postgraduate levels. But more interestingly this text is an absolute must for all insolvency lawyers and insolvency practitioners, indeed anybody with an interest in the subject.'  Insolvency Law & Practice  'This text is an extremely useful addition to what still can be viewed as an undeveloped corner of the law library by a distinguished commentator and author. David Milman is of course the co-author of what many regards as the leading annotated guide to the overall insolvency legislation. All in all this is an extremely thoughtful publication. The bibliography, which has obviously been carefully assembled, occupies nearly 10 pages and in the opinion of this reviewer is worth the price of the publication alone.'  The Journal of Business Law  '...this eminently readable monograph has many merits with which to commend it. The work is readily accessible to those with little pre-existing knowledge of personal insolvency law, and may well foster a genuine interest in the subject amongst such readers, whilst being sufficiently in-depth, despite the limited space available, to satisfy even the most knowledgeable of readers. The reviewer was immediately gripped, as page one begins by detailing a number of historical figures who have been declared bankrupt. Such detail cannot fail to appeal to students, academics and practitioners alike.'  The Law Teacher

"Developing Rural School Leadershighlights the importance of job-embedded, contextually-relevant leadership through the development and application of a transformational leadership coaching model in rural school districts. Based on a three-year, research-practice partnership, the book makes a valuable contribution to rural school leadership development by demonstrating how university-district partnerships can build capacity and enhance professional learning in rural schools. As someone who for almost two decades has been working with rural schools to develop leadership pipelines, I found the information in this book to be highly compelling and timely."- Dr. Bonnie C. Fusarelli, Professor of Educational Leadership and Educational Evaluation and Policy Analysis, College of Education, North Carolina State University
"In this leading-edge book, Klar and Huggins offer a comprehensive examination of rural school leadership. Their Leadership Learning Community (LLC) model provides an evidence-based leadership coaching strategy that brings equitable learning opportunities to rural leaders and their school communities. Three leadership cases chronicle compelling evidence of LLC success, applied in an innovative research-practice partnership. Because opportunities for high-quality professional development for school leaders is particularly limited in rural contexts, the model posits transformational leadership coaching as a promising set of strategies to sustainably improve and reculture rural schools."- Dr. Kristina A. Hesbol, Assistant Professor of Educational Leadership and Policy Studies, Morgridge College of Education, University of Denver and Co-Founder of the Rural Innovative School Leadership Networked Improvement Community

"Leading rural schools is a demanding and lonely endeavor. In this insightful and practical book, Klar and Huggins examine both the challenges and opportunities of rural school leadership. With the Leadership Learning Community model, they offer an evidence-based coaching strategy as a means of providing rural leaders with high-quality professional networking."- Dr. Barbara Nesbitt, Assistant Superintendent for Technology Services, School District of Pickens County, South Carolina
"Developing Rural School Leaders is the first book of its kind that does a deep dive in developing rural school leadership through transformational coaching. This is a must read for all leaders, and should be required reading for those working with our nation's youth in rural communities. As a current superintendent of a rural school district, this book accurately depicts the current reality and challenges of rural school leadership and the contextual complexities and concerns associated with improving teaching and learning. The authors provide pragmatic steps for addressing these concerns by developing leaders, and thereby closing the learning and opportunity gaps between our students. I only wish this book where available at the beginning of my current assignment."- Dr. Kenneth Chris Hurst Sr., Superintendent, Othello School District, Othello, Washington

It takes ingenuity as well as courage to return to a familiar question with new urgency, as Olohan does when asking which practices translators and translation scholars designate as 'translation.' By thinking deeply through the significance of the practice turn, Olohan provides a fascinating, new perspective on problems at the very heart of Translation Studies.

‘A welcome and easy-to-read book to help Hospitality students and hotel management teams become financially literate and understand all aspects of the business. Financial management has never been more important as all costs, especially labour costs, continue to rise. Many hospitality businesses fail due to poor business acumen and lack of experience in improving financial performance. This book includes industry benchmarks to help measure performance and will give you the tools you need to improve the profitability of your business.’
Harry Murray, MBE MI FIH, Chairman Lucknam Park Hotel & Spa & President of HOSPA
‘Understanding profitability and finance is crucial to the success of any hospitality business. As a lecturer and head of a hospitality department in a university for 40 years, this subject was always very difficult to teach to non-financial students. Many students required extra tuition in order to understand the concepts and apply these concepts and theories to real industrial operations. This book will become a very useful resource that will both assist the students’ learning and aid lecturers in preparing teaching material. I would recommend that this valuable resource become a compulsory text.’ 

Professor David Foskett, MBE CMA FIH BEd (Hons) FRACA HMCGC, David Foskett Associates, Chair of the International Hospitality Council
‘Strong financial management is such an important part of running a successful hotel and is a skill that many hospitality team members struggle with as they progress into management roles. Adrian has successfully captured the fundamentals of this in his book and communicated them in such a way that both students and professionals at every level can absorb the knowledge and put it into practice. There is something for everyone at every level of hotel management–a must-read in my opinion.’

'Arefreshing, eye-opening insight into gaining, growing and nurturing audiences for contemporary culture. As artists and arts organisations, too often we fall back on tempting people to attend who already know and love our artform. This study has thrown a light on a whole community that thrives on the new, the challenge, the experience of our boundary-breaking work. Understanding Audiences for the Contemporary Arts demonstrates if we are bold, responsive and collaborative in our engagement with our cities, we will thrive alongside that community.
Everyone: every artist, every programmer, every curator, every marketing manager, every gallery assistant – and yes, every Executive Director – should read this book.' 
Seb Lovell-Huckle, Executive Director of Birmingham Contemporary Music Group, UK
‘Stretching across disciplines, arts organisations and regions, the qualitative research insights in this book offer valuable new answers to some of the most urgent questions which preoccupy arts makers and their audiences today.’
