Murray Rowlands, "Wirral in the Great War" English | 2014 | ISBN: 1783032936 | 176 pages | EPUB | 21 MB On 4 August 1914 Britain declared war on Germany. Originally perceived as a short campaign to curtail Germanic imperialism, it developed into a four-year long war of attrition. The Great War is justifiably associated with the horrors of trench warfare and the death of a generation but history has overlooked the home fronts' colossal contribution to victory.

Weinzweig: Essays on His Life and Music By Brian Cherney, John Beckwith 2011 | 420 Pages | ISBN: 1554582563 | PDF | 7 MB John Weinzweig (1913-2006) was the pre-eminent Canadian composer of his generation. Influenced by European modernists such as Stravinsky, Berg, and Webern, he was the first Canadian composer to employ serialism, thereby bringing a spirit of innovation to mid-twentieth-century Canadian music. A forceful advocate for modern Canadian composition, Weinzweig played a key role in the founding of the Canadian League of Composers and the Canadian Music Centre during a buoyant and expansive period for the arts in Canada. He was an influential force as a teacher of composition, first with the Royal Conservatory of Music and later with the University of Toronto's music faculty. This first comprehensive study of Weinzweig since his death consists of new essays by composers, theorists, and musicologists. It deals with biographical aspects (the social context of early-twentieth-century Toronto, his activism, his teaching, his early scores for CBC Radio dramas), analyzes his compositional processes and his output (his approach to serialism, his instrumental practice, the presence of jazz elements, the vocal works, the divertimenti), and examines various evaluations of his music (his own - in letters, interviews, talks, and writings - plus those of critics and scholars, of listeners, and of performers). The essays are framed by the co-editors' portrait/assessment of Weinzweig and a brief personal memoir. Much of the content draws on new research in the extensive Weinzweig Fonds at Library and Archives Canada in Ottawa. Included at the end of the book are a [http://www.wlupress.wlu.ca/General/beckwith-cherney-list-of-works-discography.pdf[/url] List of Works by John Weinzweig by Kathleen McMorrow and a Discography by David Olds] both available here as pdfs.

Lance Lambert, "Warring the Good Warfare" English | 2013 | ISBN: 1483981894 | EPUB | pages: 333 | 0.3 mb This book brings together many messages given at different times and in different places on the subject of Spiritual Warfare. In the Old Testament it refers to "war the warfare of the service" (Numbers 4:23 margin). In my estimation the Apostle Paul refers to this in the New Testament when he writes to Timothy that he should "war the good warfare" (1Tim 1:18). There is no matter more vital or strategic than this. As we move increasingly into the End Times, the church of God redeemed, born of God and energised by the Spirit of God, needs to know how to enforce the will of God in whatever situations it may face, international, national or local. May the Lord Himself use this book to wake us up to our calling to be good soldiers of the Lord Jesus, the Messiah, and to fight the good fight of faith.  Nityananda Misra, "Vyasa-Katha: Fables from the Mahabharata" English | ASIN : B09PTTQ5GZ | 2022 | 422 pages | PDF | 5 MB We have all read Aesop's fables, Jataka tales, and the Panchatantra or Hitopadesha stories. But what about the fables from the Mahabharata? We know about the human characters, but do we know about the clever jackal, the hypocrite swan, the smart mouse, the evil cat, the lazy camel, the arrogant tree, the faithful parrot or the astonishing mongoose in Vyasa's great epic?  Catriona Livingstone, "Virginia Woolf, Science, Radio, and Identity" English | ISBN: 1316514072 | 2022 | 274 pages | PDF | 3 MB This book offers an extensive analysis of Woolf's engagement with science. It demonstrates that science is integral to the construction of identity in Woolf's novels of the 1930s and 1940s, and identifies a little-explored source for Woolf's scientific knowledge: BBC scientific radio broadcasts. By analyzing this unstudied primary material, it traces the application of scientific concepts to questions of identity and highlights a single concept that is shared across multiple disciplines in the modernist period: the idea that modern science undermined individualized conceptions of the self. It broadens our understanding of the relationship between modernism and radio, modernism and science, and demonstrates the importance of science to Woolf's later novels. |
