Explore a day with Justin as he teaches readers through his actions how to be a Super Good listener. "He never has to be told anything twice Written by Corey D. Williams
On 2 April 1982 Argentina launched Operation Rosario, the invasion of the Falklands. The British, caught off guard, responded with Operation Corporate. Deployed alongside the rest of the British Army was a small specialist intelligence unit, whose very existence was unknown to many commanders and whose activities were cloaked in the Official Secrets Act. Trained during the years of the Cold War, the OC of the unit, D.J. Thorp, was tasked with providing electronic warfare support – interception of Argentinean electronic and radio signals – allowing the British to be in real time receipt of enemy plans long before execution. He personally briefed Col H Jones before the Battle of Goose Green. For the first time in print, The Silent Listener confirms the existence and role of the Special Task Detachment during Operation Corporate and provides details of the deployment and operational role of a dedicated ground based electronic warfare (EW) weapons facility. It also details the development of electronic warfare during the Cold War period, including the establishment of a communications intercept site on East Island following the cessation of hostilities in the Falklands, and D.J. Thorp’s top secret role in the investigation into the sinking of ARA General Belgrano.

In 1907, in a quiet English village, Theodora Bosanquet answered Henry James's call for someone to transcribe his edits and additions to his formidable body of work. The aging James had agreed to revise his novels and tales into the twenty-four-volume New York Edition. Enter Bosanquet, a budding writer who would record the dictated revisions and the prefaces that would become a lynchpin of his legacy. Embracing the role of amanuensis and creative counterpoint cautiously at first, Bosanquet kept a daily diary over the nine years that she worked with James, as their extraordinary partnership evolved. Bosanquet became the first audience for James's compositions and his closest literary associate—and their relationship ultimately resulted in James's famed "deathbed dictations." At the same time, the homosexuality of each was an unspoken but important influence on their mutual support and companionship. Susan Herron Sibbet's posthumous novel gifts us with the voice of a young woman writer drawn into the intimate circle of an aging master, and is a moving addition to previous literary treatments of James and Bosanquet, even as it hews closer to fact than other works do. The Constant Listener is itself the work of an accomplished poet, and will speak to fans of James, historical fiction, and themes of art, love, sexuality, and identity.

The musical writings of scientist Hermann von Helmholtz (1821–94) have long been considered epoch-making in the histories of both science and aesthetics. Widely regarded as having promised an authoritative scientific foundation for harmonic practice, Helmholtz can also be read as posing a series of persistent challenges to our understanding of the musical listener. Helmholtz was at the forefront of sweeping changes in discourse about human perception. His interrogation of the physiology of hearing threw notions of the self-possessed listener into doubt and conjured a sense of vulnerability to mechanistic forces and fragmentary experience. Yet this new image of the listener was simultaneously caught up in wider projects of discipline, education and liberal reform. Reading Helmholtz in conjunction with a range of his intellectual sources and heirs, from Goethe to Max Weber to George Bernard Shaw, Steege explores the significance of Helmholtz's listener as an emblem of a broader cultural modernity.

Anzu the kaiju loves to tend to his bonsai. Whenever he feels overwhelmed or unsettled, it helps him pause and reminds him to just . . . breathe. One day, when Anzu hears crying in the distance, he’s eager to help! The flower-power that makes his bonsai bloom has a way of making others smile. But when Anzu’s flowers seem to lose their power, hurting more than they help, he’s not sure where to turn - until he remembers some valuable lessons, he learned from his bonsai tree. In Anzu the Great Listener, creator and Walt Disney Studios animator Benson Shum illustrates the importance of patience, empathy, and above all, taking the time to listen.
The Composer As Listener: A Guide To Music is a comprehensive guide to understanding and appreciating classical music written by Irving Kolodin. The book is designed to help readers develop a deeper understanding of music by examining the perspectives of composers and their creative processes. Kolodin explores the ways in which composers listen to music, analyze it, and use it as inspiration for their own work. The book is divided into two parts. The first part focuses on the listener's experience of music, examining the various elements of music, such as melody, harmony, rhythm, and form. Kolodin provides examples from a wide range of musical genres and styles, from Bach to Beethoven to Stravinsky. He also discusses the role of the performer in interpreting and conveying the composer's intentions.The second part of the book focuses on the composer's perspective, exploring the creative process and the ways in which composers use their own listening skills to create new works of music. Kolodin examines the works of several composers in detail, including Mozart, Beethoven, and Brahms, and shows how their listening habits influenced their compositions.Throughout the book, Kolodin provides helpful tips and insights for listeners who want to deepen their understanding and appreciation of classical music. He also includes a glossary of musical terms and a list of recommended recordings for further listening. The Composer As Listener is an essential guide for anyone who wants to explore the world of classical music and gain a deeper understanding of its complexities and beauty.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Toby is a very plausible young scoundrel: good at winning confidences — and also at staving off troublesome emotions. On the point of leaving Cambridge, he meets Maisie, who is beautiful, tense and vulnerable. She falls in love. He does not. He takes what he can, as young men do. But Maisie tries to force the issue, and he makes off — warned by a friend’s disastrous shotgun marriage. There will always be other girls, more cheerful and just as willing . . . And Toby never worries about minor problems like the way separation wounds its victim. The bitter surprises still in store disconcert him only briefly. After all, a good listener will always get by. ‘With her characteristic mixture of sense and sensibility, Pamela Hansford Johnson creates a whole gallery of convincing characters, entangled in a web of drifting relationships.’ Sunday Telegraph ‘Beautifully rendered . . . memorable settings and lively characters’ Financial Times ‘The light shining steadily through each page of Pamela Hansford Johnson’s new novel is the light of quality’ The Times ‘A stunning performance’ Nina Bawden, Daily Telegraph
