In the World Library of Educationalists series, international experts compile career-long collections of what they judge to be their finest pieces – extracts from books, key articles, salient research findings, major theoretical and practical contributions – so the world can read them in a single manageable volume. Readers will be able to follow the themes and strands and see how their work contributes to the development of the field.Since the publication of A Basis for Music Education in 1979, Keith Swanwick has continued to be a major influence on the theory and practice of music education. The international appeal of his insights into the fundamentals of music and music education is recognised in invitations from more than twenty countries to give Key Note presentations, conduct workshops, and advise as a consultant. These include such diverse places as Kazakhstan, Colombia, Iceland and Papua New Guinea. During 1998 he was Visiting Professor, University of Washington. In this collection, Swanwick brings together 12 of his key writings to present an overview of the development of his own work and of the field of music education. The text allows the reader to consider Swanwick’s approach to music education and how it is characterised by a concern for musical, and to some extent wider artistic, processes, shaped by his experience as a teacher and performing musician in a variety of settings, and also by the influences of philosophers, psychologists and sociologists.

When Rex Sutherland and his employer, Eleanor, the Dowager Duchess of Drakeford, stumble upon a body during an afternoon picnic at Bircham Manor, the Dowager’s instincts for sleuthing spring to life. Rather than let a little murder spoil the festivities, she summons her trusted friend, Scotland Yard’s Inspector Whipple, to help investigate. Invited for a weekend of high tea and high society by her friend Colonel Crispen Percival-Travers, the Dowager now faces a lineup of sophisticated suspects.

But when a second body is found and a mysterious gentleman arrives with a veiled threat, the stakes become deadlier by the hour. With wit, charm, and more than a few cream fancies to sustain them, Rex, the Dowager, and Whipple must unravel the clues in time. Will they solve the mystery before the weekend is over?

Ed was a sixteen-year-old conservative Mennonite farm boy growing up on the family farm in Central Kansas in 1884. One day, while riding Copper, his well-trained and beloved horse, to get the cows home for milking, Ed noticed something behind a sand plum thicket. Not getting a very good look at what it was behind the thicket, his curiosity drove him back there after the milking was done. Whatever it was behind the thicket left a small pile of sand plum seeds. It had to be a human because most animals would eat the seeds along with the plums. Ed was determined to find who it was stealing their sand plums. The next day, Ed went a little earlier to get the cows home in order to catch this sand plum thief.Ed was not prepared for what he found. A beautiful Native American girl about his own age, the most beautiful girl he had ever seen, was the sand plum thief.When she saw Ed watching her, she gave him a smile that would have melted the heart of any sixteen-year-old American boy, but she quickly ran off and hid from him. This did not deter Ed from making plans to come back the next day to see the beautiful girl. He had just one problem though. He was a Mennonite, and Mennonites were to associate with their own people only. How could he possibly tell his parents that the sand plum thief was a beautiful Native American girl, and he was going back the next day to see her again?Will this develop into an interracial relationship, something unheard of in Mennonite culture at that time, or will it lead only to heartbreak for two young people?

Jonathan Swift's moral and political satires astonished his contemporaries and still have the power to disturb, with their compelling images and unsettling turns of argument, and to delight, with their charm and inventive wit. A Preface to Swift examines the complex appeal of this fierce critic of oppression.While thematically arranged, the text follows a broadly chronological account of Swift's life to show his development as a writer from the prolific and inventive iconoclast to the mature satirist whose enduring memory of past events produced warm friendship as well as strong resentment. It considers in detail his engagement with the corruption of over-secure politicians and his opposition to the easy rationalism of free-thinking pundits. Gulliver's Travels is shown to be a coherent critique of eighteenth-century ideas of science, education and politics in which the order of the books ('the progress of the fable') is highly significant for its whole meaning. While this is a major focus, Keith Crook also discusses a wide range of Swift's other works, including his early satires, his political writings, his poems and his letters.Detailed chronological charts place his life and works in the political and cultural context, and illustrations have been chosen with commentaries to extend the reader's sense of Swift's connections with London, Ireland and his contemporaries. This will be a particularly useful introduction to students who are studying satire as a genre; the early eighteenth-century literary, scientific, philosophical and political context; the representation of women; the political relation of Ireland to England; and the position of the artist within society, especially in connection with the levers of power.

This book is a grammar of Mangghuer, a Mongolic language spoken by approximately 25,000 people in China's northwestern Qinghai Province. Mangghuer is virtually unknown outside China, and no grammar of Mangghuer has ever been published in any language. The book's primary importance is thus as a systematic grammatical description of a little-known language. The book also makes a significant contribution to comparative Mongolic studies. In addition to the synchronic description of Mangghuer, extensive comparison with other Mongolic languages is included, demonstrating the genetic relationship of Mangghuer within that family. In the course of describing Mangghuer linguistic structures, the book also examines issues of interest to linguistic typologists.
