The Oxford Handbook of Feminism and Music Education
The Oxford Handbook of Feminism and Music Education brings together a wide range of international scholars, practicing music teachers and educators, policymakers, and community musicians to conceptualize, analyze, and critique the personal, social, cultural, political, ethical, and therapeutic practices and problems in music education through feminist perspectives. The book offers global critical perspectives on a wide range of conceptual and practical issues in music education as they apply to various forms of feminist perspectives in music teaching and learning within schools and communities. The central aims of this volume are to engage with readers' understandings of and critical thinking about feminist perspectives on the problems, opportunities, and "spaces and places" that music educators and community music facilitators encounter, and to elucidate the concepts and practical strategies they employ to improve various aspects of music teaching and learning around the world through feminist lenses. This book helps current and future music educators, community music facilitators, arts and music activists, and solidarity workers to understand the many varieties and potentials of music teaching and learning, as described by the world-renowned scholars and practitioners in this book. It further invites readers to consider how traditional forms of musical pedagogies can be transformed in ways that will make them more mindful of and empathetic toward the personal and musical aims and desires of music students, musicians, and musical communities and collectives. This book will be of interest to teachers, scholars, administrators, advocates, and solidarity workers who wish to redefine, refine, and redesign music teaching and learning practices.

Sailor Song
Reintroduces the traditional sea shanty for a new generationPassed down in the oral tradition and sung as working songs, sea shanties tell the compelling human stories of life on the water: hard labor, battling the elements, pining for distant loves and far-away homes. The music's rhythms are designed to galvanize the group effort of heaving, pushing, and pulling to weigh anchor, wind rope around a capstan, or set sail.Acclaimed shanty devotee Gerry Smyth presents the background to each shanty alongside musical notation. The lyrics are elaborated upon with explanations of terminology, context including historical facts and accounts of life at sea, and the characters, both fictional and nonfictional, that appear in the songs from the great age of sail to the last days of square-rig.
Psychological and Social Aspects of the Tragedy of Suicide
This scholarly monograph, Psychological and Social Aspects of the Tragedy of Suicide in English and Uzbek Literature, offers a comprehensive and methodologically grounded investigation into the representation of suicide as a multifaceted phenomenon within two distinct yet dialogically interconnected literary traditions. By drawing on a diverse corpus of texts-from canonical English works to emblematic Uzbek literary narratives-the study elucidates how suicide is constructed not only as a deeply personal and psychological experience but also as a socially mediated and culturally encoded act. It positions suicide within a complex matrix of literary aesthetics, sociocultural discourse, and human existential reflection.

Sonic Sewer Volume 1
After 34 individual issues, 8 collected books, and 25 years, author Robin Bougie's celebrated cult movie magazine Cinema Sewer came to a lamented finish -- but out of the ashes rises a new titan of the odd media underground: Sonic Sewer! A handmade mix of gonzo writing, illustration and comics about the most bizarre, groovy, sexy, awkward, genre-defying, and thought-provoking music in modern recording history, Sonic Sewer joyously and shamelessly celebrates the coolest aspects of the vinyl format and the various types of music recorded onto it. From dollar bin trash to highly collectible grails and rarities, Bougie utilizes his mysterious connections within the pop culture lexicon to delve deep into the audiophile septic system, dredging eyebrow-raising stories and rarely seen trivia in the distinctive and highly personal manner that has made him infamous for decades amongst a loyal following of fans. Nearly 200 pages of never-before seen essays, reviews, rants, interviews and lists are smashed together in this first highly-readable volume, generously garnished with illustrations by Bougie and some of his talented friends from the comic book and animation industries. Regardless if you're just discovering the intriguing world of vinyl, or if you're a deeply experienced "old head" that has a collection that's gone beyond your control, you'll find plenty to get excited about as you gleefully slosh around in the Sonic Sewer!
