Music Copyright, Creativity, and Culture offers a thorough introduction to copyright issues that are central to today's musicians. The book has an innovative design: half of the material is presented in the form of a graphic novel, which is coupled with accessible, insightful prose and relevant case histories. Through a series of chapters that take students step by step through the fundamentals of copyright and creativity, Jennifer Jenkins clarifies basic concepts, lays out an engaging history, points out cultural effects of legal rules, and tells scores of stories of great musical controversies, past and present. The book is paired with a series of Spotify and YouTube playlists, so that students can listen to the material under review. The end result is neither dry nor obscure. And this is as it should be, because the legal rules surrounding our musical culture are both important and captivating. Every year, thousands of students majoring in subjects such as Music, Communications, Business, Film Studies, and Entertainment Law deal with issues raised by copyright. The current textbook market serves them inadequately. There are dry, legal tomes that deluge students with legal technicalities but offer little context, illustration, or connection to our cultural history. There are breezy manuals written by non-lawyers that conflate markedly different subjects (such as copyright infringement and plagiarism, or "fair use" and unoriginality). But few offer sound legal and cultural history in a format that students will be able to use and understand. Music Copyright, Creativity, and Culture fills that gap with its marriage of text and graphic presentation. The basic question music copyright law tries to answer is a simple one: when is borrowing, or simple musical similarity, okay, and when is it illegal? But the answers to that simple question can befuddle both students and professors. Music Copyright, Creativity, and Culture lays out four short examples of the book's approach, each dealing with a question that students frequently raise. The questions are: 1. Is copyright infringement the same as plagiarism? Is it okay to copy something, so long as I give credit to the original? 2. How do I know whether one song violates the copyright of another song? What are the stages of the analysis? 3. What parts of a song are subject to exclusive ownership under copyright law and why? What aspects of music does copyright leave free for anyone to build on? 4. Can someone copy something unconsciously? What if a fragment of a tune gets stuck in your head and years later you write a song that mines that subconscious memory? Is that copyright infringement or just the normal process of creativity? Answering these questions is key to understanding the implications of copyright law and its impact on the creative arts. Music Copyright, Creativity, and Culture provides these answers in a format that will appeal to today's students in music business, entertainment law, and related courses.

Gryphon has 23 days to ensure that Zo, Joshua, and Tess are cared for before offering his life as a ransom to Chief Barnabas in exchange for the lives of his best friend and mess brothers. He doesn't have the nerve to break Zo's heart with the truth, and he spends his time inside the Allied Camp trying not to despise the very people he's been raised to hate - the Wolves. But Gryphon is not the only one harboring secrets.To spare her own life, Zo has made a blood oath promising to help the Kodiak Clan free their families living as Nameless slaves. When Gryphon learns the truth - that the peaceful life he'd planned for Zo is not secure - he commits himself to cooperate with the Allies and divulges a secret that will give the Allies the upper hand against the Ram. New alliances form as Wolf, Raven, and Kodiak combine forces in a final battle that will determine the fate of the entire region.

Striker Gryphon has lost his position of honor among the Ram and is now a hunted man, a traitor. Zo, the object of his affection, was murdered by members of his former clan. To honor her memory, he journeys to the highly secretive Raven Nest to warn strangers of their impending demise - even though it could cost him more than just his pride.He doesn't know that Zo is very much alive and in another part of the region assisting Nameless refugees over a mountain swarming with wild men known as Clanless. As each struggle to make sense of what their lives have become, they fight and claw to reach the Allied Camp, their last hope in bringing peace to the region. But the road back to one another is treacherous and uncertain. Freedom will come at a price.

Four clans have been at war for centuries: the Kodiak, the Raven, the Wolf, and the Ram. Through brutal war tactics, the Ram have dominated the region, inflicting death and destruction on their neighbors. Seventeen-year-old Zo is a Wolf and a healer who volunteers to infiltrate the Ram as a spy on behalf of the allied clans. She offers herself as a Ram slave, joining the people who are called the Nameless. Hers is a suicide mission - Zo's despair after losing her parents in a Ram raid has left her seeking both revenge and an end to her own misery. But after her younger sister follows her into Ram's Gate, Zo must find a way to survive her dangerous mission and keep her sister safe. What she doesn't expect to find is the friendship of a young Ram whose life she saves, the confusing feelings she develops for a Ram soldier, and an underground Nameless insurrection. Zo learns that revenge, loyalty, and love are more complicated than she ever imagined.

Sometimes she refers to her life on the west coast as a house burning down; sometimes she refers to herself as a ghost lingering on the island...Diary of a Langford Girl is an evocative recollection of life in a small town on the southern tip of Vancouver Island. Rife with the mischief and magic of coming of age; odd perceptions, the beautiful mess of young love and the wrench of loss, this unique collection of poems and narratives reveals a haunting tie to the island and the emotional fracture of leaving it behind. A raw, unrestrained glimpse of relationships, family dynamics and foolish shenanigans, contrasted by the softness of romanticism and humour, inviting the reader into the heart of one woman's endless journey home.

In this book, Jennifer Jenkins, one of the leading proponents of English as a Lingua Franca, explores current academic English language policy in higher education around the world.Universities around the world are increasingly presenting themselves as "international" but their English language policies do not necessarily reflect this, even as the diversity of their student bodies grows. While there have been a number of attempts to explore the implications of this diversity from a cultural perspective, little has been said from the linguistic point of view, and in particular, about the implications for what kind(s) of English are appropriate for English lingua franca communication in international higher education.Throughout the book Jenkins considers the policies of English language universities in terms of the language attitudes and ideologies of university management and staff globally, and of international students in a UK setting. The book concludes by considering the implications for current policies and practices, and what is needed in order for universities to bring themselves in line linguistically with the international status they claim.English as a Lingua Franca in the International University is an essential read for researchers and postgraduate students working in the areas of Global Englishes, English as a Lingua Franca and English for Academic Purposes.
