The Origin of Musical Instruments An Ethnological Introduction to the History of Instrumental Music

The Origin of Musical Instruments An Ethnological Introduction to the History of Instrumental Music

The work of French musicologist ethnologist and critic Andre Schaeffner (1895– 1980) grew out of his first organological studies of the history of Western classical instruments in the late 1920s and encapsulated in his wide-ranging Origine des instruments de musique which captures his studies in Paris between 1931 and 1936. Almost 80 years after its first publication the scientific relevance and influence of Schaeffner’s primary hypothesis—that the origins of music can be traced to the human body through gesture dance and the movements in the use of musical instruments and their ancestor tools—remains pertinent in fields which have returned to informed speculative and empirical research on the origins of music. This first English edition is accompanied by editorial footnotes and introductory texts and the influence of Schaeffner’s thought on several generations of musicologists makes his work an essential piece of reading for ethnomusicologists music psychologists organologists and musicologists interested in the history of their field. | The Origin of Musical Instruments An Ethnological Introduction to the History of Instrumental Music

This well planned text builds upon a successful existing work and adds content relevant to biomolecules and biological activity”. Professor Philip Page Emeritus Professor School of Chemistry University of East Anglia UK “Introduces the key concepts of organic chemistry in a succinct and clear way”. Andre Cobb KCL UK Reactions in biochemistry can be explained by an understanding of fundamental organic chemistry principles and reactions. This paradigm is extended to biochemical principles and to myriad biomolecules. Biochemistry: An Organic Chemistry Approach provides a framework for understanding various topics of biochemistry including the chemical behavior of biomolecules enzyme activity and more. It goes beyond mere memorization. Using several techniques to develop a relational understanding including homework this text helps students fully grasp and better correlate the essential organic chemistry concepts with those concepts at the root of biochemistry. The goal is to better understand the fundamental principles of biochemistry. Features: Presents a review chapter of fundamental organic chemistry principles and reactions. Presents and explains the fundamental principles of biochemistry using principles and common reactions of organic chemistry. Discusses enzymes proteins fatty acids lipids vitamins hormones nucleic acids and other biomolecules by comparing and contrasting them with the organic chemistry reactions that constitute the foundation of these classes of biomolecules.

Imposter Syndrome and The ‘As-If’ Personality in Analytical Psychology The Fragility of Self

Imposter Syndrome and The ‘As-If’ Personality in Analytical Psychology The Fragility of Self

This insightful book explores the ‘as-if’ personality through the lens of Jungian analytical psychology illuminating how the same forces that can disturb personal development relationally socially and culturally are equally an impetus toward expressing and relating with one's more complete self. The book describes persons expressing an ‘as if’ personality as facing a conundrum around whether to hide or expose the truth of who they are. It describes the analytic container as a place of growth from that place affecting person and culture self and other. Using a myriad of clinical examples (across a range of cultures contexts and personal experiences) the author describes people who are moving through feelings of not belonging sexual addiction ageing the cultural influence of social media the role of the father and body image challenges. All these issues reveal the valuable recognition of the unconscious- a hallmark of Jungian analytical psychology- incorporates the dissociated others into selfhood. The theories of French psychoanalysts Andre Green on absence and the negative Julia Kristeva on abjection French philosopher Jacques Derrida on Narcissus and Echo and American philosopher Judith Butler on precarity expand the Jungian analytical thought to reflect the multiplicity of the psyche. Using understandable language to interweave various psychoanalytical and philosophical frameworks Imposter Syndrome and the ‘As-If’ Personality in Analytical Psychology: The Fragility of Self is both accessible to general readers and highly relevant to professional analysts therapists clinicians and social workers. | Imposter Syndrome and The ‘As-If’ Personality in Analytical Psychology The Fragility of Self

Theophrastus Reappraising the Sources

Theophrastus Reappraising the Sources

Theophrastus was Aristotle's pupil and second head of the Peripatetic School. Apart from two botanical works a collection of character sketches and several scientific opuscula his works survive only through quotations and reports in secondary sources. Recently these quotations and reports have been collected and published thereby making the thought of Theophrastus accessible to a wide audience. The present volume contains seventeen responses to this material. There are chapters dealing with Theophrastus' views on logic physics biology ethics politics rhetoric and music as well as the life of Theophrastus. Together these writings throw considerable light on fundamental questions concerning the development and importance of the Peripatos in the early Hellenistic period. The authors consider whether Theophrastus was a systematic thinker who imposed coherence and consistency on a growing body of knowledge or a problem-oriented thinker who foreshadowed the dissolution of Peripatetic thought into various loosely connected disciplines. Of special interest are those essays which deal with Theophrastus' intellectual position in relation to the lively philosophic scene occupied by such contemporaries as Zeno the founder of the Stoa and Epicurus the founder of the Garden as well as Xenocrates and Polemon hi the Academy and Theophrastus' fellow Peripatetics Eudemus and Strato. The contributors to the volume are Suzanne Amigues Antonio Battegazzore Tiziano Dorandi Woldemar Gorier John Glucker Hans Gottschalk Frans de Haas Andre Laks Anthony Long Jorgen Mejer Mario Mignucci Trevor Saunders Dirk Schenkeveld David Sedley Robert Sharpies C. M. J. Sicking and Richard Sorabji. The Rutgers University Studies in Classical Humanities series is a forum for seminal thinking in the field of philosophy and this volume is no exception. Theophrastus is a landmark achievement in intellectual thought. Philosophers historians and classicists will all find this work to be enlightening. | Theophrastus Reappraising the Sources
