Rodgers and Hammerstein's The Sound of Music

Rodgers and Hammerstein's The Sound of Music

'Blossom of snow may you bloom and grow Bloom and grow forever' Often dismissed as kitsch sentimentalism Rodgers and Hammerstein’s The Sound of Music has proven an enduringly popular and surprisingly influential cultural icon both within the field of musical theatre and the wider world. The Broadway production won five Tony Awards the London production became the longest-running West End musical and the movie version was the highest-grossing film of all time. This book examines how the musical heralded the end of an era on Broadway; its reinvention of history and biography; how the film has influenced future stage productions; the ways in which it put child performers centre stage; and how nearly 60 years after its stage debut the musical still has a direct impact on the modern world from the United States to the Middle East. In this series of short essays Julian Woolford re-examines the musical from seven different perspectives revealing the ways in which it continues to impact the 21st century. | Rodgers and Hammerstein's The Sound of Music

Portraits from Memory And Other Essays

Portraits from Memory And Other Essays

‘I have come to think that one of the main causes of trouble in the world is dogmatic and fanatical belief in some doctrine for which there is no adequate evidence. ’ – Bertrand Russell Portraits from Memory Portraits from Memory is one of Bertrand Russell’s most self-reflective and engaging books. Whilst not intended as an autobiography it is a vivid recollection of some of his celebrated contemporaries such as George Bernard Shaw Sidney and Beatrice Webb and D. H. Lawrence. Russell provides some arresting and sometimes amusing insights into writers with whom he corresponded. He was fascinated by Joseph Conrad with whom he formed a strong emotional bond writing that his Heart of Darkness was not just a story but an expression of Conrad’s ‘philosophy of life’. There are also some typically pithy Russellian observations; H. G. Wells ‘derived his importance from quantity rather than quality’ whilst after a brief and fraught friendship Russell thought D. H. Lawrence ‘had no real wish to make the world better but only to indulge in eloquent soliloquy about how bad it was’. This engaging book also includes some of Russell’s customary razor-sharp essays on a rich array of subjects from his ardent pacifism liberal politics and morality to the ethics of education the skills of good writing and how he came to philosophy as a young man. These include ‘A Plea for Clear Thinking’ ‘A Philosophy for Our Time’ and ‘How I Write’. Portraits from Memory is Russell at his best and will enthrall those new to Russell as well as those already well-acquainted with his work. This Routledge Classics edition includes a new foreword by the Russell scholar Nicholas Griffin editor of The Selected Letters of Bertrand Russell. | Portraits from Memory And Other Essays

Thinking to Some Purpose

Thinking to Some Purpose

I am convinced of the urgent need for a democratic people to think clearly without the distortions due to unconscious bias and unrecognized ignorance. Our failures in thinking are in part due to faults which we could to some extent overcome were we to see clearly how these faults arise. It is the aim of this book to make a small effort in this direction. Susan Stebbing from the Preface Despite huge advances in education knowledge and communication it can often seem we are neither well-trained nor well practised in the art of clear thinking. Our powers of reasoning and argument are less confident that they should be we frequently ignore evidence and we are all too often swayed by rhetoric rather than reason. But what can you do to think and argue better? First published in 1939 but unavailable for many years Susan Stebbing's Thinking to Some Purpose is a classic first-aid manual of how to think clearly and remains astonishingly fresh and insightful. Written against a background of the rise of dictatorships and the collapse of democracy in Europe it is packed with useful tips and insights. Stebbing offers shrewd advice on how to think critically and clearly how to spot illogical statements and slipshod thinking and how to rely on reason rather than emotion. At a time when we are again faced with serious threats to democracy and freedom of thought Stebbing’s advice remains as urgent and important as ever. This Routledge edition of Thinking to Some Purpose includes a new Foreword by Nigel Warburton and a helpful Introduction by Peter West who places Susan Stebbing’s classic book in historical and philosophical context.

Do Teachers Care About Truth? Epistemological Issues for Education

Do Teachers Care About Truth? Epistemological Issues for Education

This book first published in 1987 examines the notion of truth and then discusses knowledge and the way in which much of our knowledge revises or rejects the common-sense we start from. The author argues that our knowledge is not as secure as some would like to think and that there are important limits to the possibility for explanation. He shows how values permeate our ordinary thinking and argues against the objectivity of these values showing the practical consequences of this argument for teaching in schools. This stimulating approach to a fundamental educational issue does not require previous experience of formal philosophy and will be useful to both education students and teachers in schools. | Do Teachers Care About Truth?

Sociology in the Soviet Union and Beyond Social Enquiry and Social Change

Sociology in the Soviet Union and Beyond Social Enquiry and Social Change

This fascinating and comprehensive volume traces the development scope and character of sociological research in Russia and subsequently the Soviet Union from the turn of the 20th century to the 1990s. Opening with the lively social debates of pre-Revolution Russia Elizabeth Weinberg discusses the intellectual factions of the post-Revolutionary period and the eventual replacement of 'idealism' with 'materialism' leading to the emergence of Soviet sociology in 1956. The book examines the methods of research that were accepted as valid for Marxist research offering a profile of key Soviet sociologists and the research climate in which they operated. It also discusses the main areas of research that predominated in Soviet sociology with separate chapters on two of the most significant: public opinion research and time-budget studies. This fully revised newly updated edition of The Development of Sociology in the Soviet Union concludes with a discussion of the involvement of Soviet sociologists in the processes of perestroika and glasnost and the changing position of sociology from the late 1980s onwards. | Sociology in the Soviet Union and Beyond Social Enquiry and Social Change

Self and Identity The Basics

Self and Identity The Basics

Self and Identity: The Basics is a jargon-free and accessible introduction that draws on key theories and ideas in Social Psychology to explore the ways that other people affect our thoughts feelings and behaviours. Highlighting selfhood as a function of identity the book shows that it is our relationships with others in our social world that largely determine who we are. Who am I? It’s a question that most all humans have grappled with at some point or another. This book seeks to answer this question through relatable examples that show how psychological theory can be applied to our own lives. It considers the philosophical and psychological context in which ideas about selfhood have developed and reviews the ways that the people around us and the groups that we belong to affect who we are. Finally these ideas are considered in the context of real-world phenomena and behaviours; for instance how we use language conflict between groups and social influence. With a glossary of key terms suggestions for further reading and chapter summaries this book is an ideal introduction for students of social psychology and related fields. It will be of interest to anyone who wants to gain social psychological insight into who they are and how others got them there. | Self and Identity The Basics
