Conveying Lived Experience through Rock and Pop Music Lyrics
David C. Wright Jr.
BLOOMSBURY PUBLISHING PLC
2024
sidottu
Conveying Lived Experience through Rock and Pop Music Lyrics explores rock and pop music lyrics of the last seventy years to elucidate a broad spectrum of themes about the collective human experience. The opening chapters discuss personal topics, with a first chapter about developing a romantic relationship and a second chapter about breaking up. Subsequently, lyrics describing nostalgia, that is, the longing for the past, as well as those about leaving home, going on the road, and returning home are considered. More social topics are treated in chapters devoted to lyrics about the outsider in society, those experiencing mental illness, and alcohol and drug use. Next, songs of social and political critique are surveyed, followed by an examination of utopian and dystopian lyrics. Finally, rock and pop songs about religious topics are considered, first with a chapter on the use of the prophetic voice, and then with a description of lyrics about hell and the devil, as well as heaven, angels, and God. This broad survey of several hundred songs, using a close reading approach, shows how rock and pop lyrics convey the lived experience of people in contemporary society.
The Royal College of Music and its Contexts
David C. H. Wright
Cambridge University Press
2019
sidottu
Located between the great Victorian museums of South Kensington and the Royal Albert Hall, the Royal College of Music, founded in 1883, has been a central influence on British musical life ever since. This wide-ranging account places the College within its musical and educational environments. It argues that the RCM's significance lies not only in its famous performers and composers, but also the generations of its more anonymous former students who have done so much to improve the musical life of the localities in which they have worked as teachers and animateurs. As a cultural history, this account also captures how significantly society's consumption of music - from new technologies to the altered perspectives of historical and world musics - has changed since the College was founded, and how very different our points of musical reference now are. This study traces the effects of such developments on the College's work.

Revelation is the most misinterpreted or misunderstood book in the Bible. Yet, for the average believer, teacher, or pastor, understanding this prophecy remains vital for the days in which we live and serve our Savior. Readers of this verse-by-verse commentary will benefit from: Seeing Jesus as the author, source, and central character of this final Biblical prophecy. Understanding the meaning and consequences of over twenty stages of judgment. Understanding God's prophetic plan for believers and unbelievers, the Church and Israel, angels and demons, and believers today and in eternity. The author spent over three decades teaching through Revelation verse by verse. This book will help: Make the complex more understandable. Provide Biblical and historical background behind the people, places, and events. Use scripture to explain that which is symbolic. Highlight the relevance and application of this prophecy for believers today. C. David Wright studied at California Baptist University and Liberty University. He served in various pastoral roles for 35 years in California and Florida and taught several Bible-college courses. He taught verse by verse through Revelation for over three decades, each building upon previous study and teaching. By God's grace, this commentary is now available to others.

Daniel - The Secrets Revealed: Expository Verse by Verse Commentary
C. David Wright
Xulon Press
2023
nidottu
Daniel is one of the most attacked books in the Bible. Critics have undermined Daniel's authorship and the historically fulfilled prophecies. Recent archaeology has resolved many of the controversies. Daniel is also one of the most important books regarding a complete understanding of eschatology, the doctrine of last things. Every believer, teacher, or pastor needs an understanding of the prophecy of Seventy Weeks in Daniel Chapter 9. Readers of this verse-by-verse expository commentary will benefit from: - Recognizing Daniel as the authentic writer who faithfully served Jehovah God during seventy years of captivity. - Developing a proper method of interpretation for Old Testament prophecy. - Understanding the Vision of Seventy Weeks found in Daniel 9. - Identifying God's prophetic plan for believers and unbelievers for the times in which we live. The author spent over twenty-five years teaching through Daniel verse by verse. This book will help: - Make the complex more understandable. - Provide Biblical, cultural, historical, and archaeological background behind the people, places, and events. - Use Scripture to explain the many prophetic symbols. - Highlight the relevance and application of this prophecy for believers today. C. David Wright completed undergrad studies in Religion at California Baptist University and graduate studies in Theology at Liberty University. He has served various pastoral roles for 40 years in both California and Florida, and has had the privilege of writing and teaching college courses. He has continued teaching verse by verse through Daniel, each time building upon previous study and teaching, and by God's grace leading to this expository commentary.
Phylogenetic Comparative Methods: A User's Guide for Paleontologists
Laura C. Soul; David F. Wright
Cambridge University Press
2021
pokkari
Recent advances in statistical approaches called phylogenetic comparative methods (PCMs) have provided paleontologists with a powerful set of analytical tools for investigating evolutionary tempo and mode in fossil lineages. However, attempts to integrate PCMs with fossil data often present workers with practical challenges or unfamiliar literature. This Element presents guides to the theory behind and the application of PCMs with fossil taxa. Based on an empirical dataset of Paleozoic crinoids, example analyses are presented to illustrate common applications of PCMs to fossil data, including investigating patterns of correlated trait evolution and macroevolutionary models of morphological change. The authors emphasize the importance of accounting for sources of uncertainty and discuss how to evaluate model fit and adequacy. Finally, the authors discuss several promising methods for modeling heterogeneous evolutionary dynamics with fossil phylogenies. Integrating phylogeny-based approaches with the fossil record provides a rigorous, quantitative perspective on understanding key patterns in the history of life.
First Published in 1999. This book offers a practical approach to te teaching of Physical Education to children who have severe learning difficulties and profound motor learning difficulties. The authors consider the 'learning to move, moving to learn' continuum as a route forward and include strategies for children who also have emotional and behavioural difficulties. With information on motor development and advice on planning, teaching and evaluating a PE programme, the book provides practical support for all those working in this and related fields. Although largely aimed at those working in special schools, the book also recognises the difficulties that children with special educational needs encounter in mainstream schools.

When seen from an outsider's vantage point, the development of knowledge in the sensory sciences must appear massive and the result of some carefully followed master plan. In reality, it is the result of numerous relatively independent human endeavors shaped by application of the scientific method. The comprehensive construction of quantitative theories of sense organ function has occurred only recently -but at an explosive rate prefaced by centuries of expansion in the physical sciences. Predicated on this growth, the twentieth century may become known as the age of the biological sciences. With the exception of a modest number of intellectual giants, there were few contributors to the foundations of the sensory sciences before the dawn of this century. At least 90% of existing knowledge has been produced by scientists working in laboratories founded since 1920. If any single scientist and his laboratory may be identified with the growth in the sensory sciences, it is EDGAR DOUGLAS ADRIAN, First Baron of Cambridge and leader of the Physiological Laboratory at Cambridge University, England. Lord ADRIAN'S influence upon the sensory sciences was great, not only in terms of his contribution to knowledge itself but also through the influence which he exerted upon numerous young scientists who spent weeks or years at the Cambridge laboratory and who later returned to their homelands and colleagues with the seeds of vigorous research and quantitative inquiry firmly implanted.
