The Cambridge Companion to the Singer-Songwriter - - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

"Most often associated with modern artists such as Bob Dylan, Elton John, Don McLean, Neil Diamond, and Carole King, the singer-songwriter tradition in fact has a long and complex history dating back to the medieval troubadour and earlier. This Companionexplains the historical contexts, musical analyses, and theoretical frameworks of the singer-songwriter tradition. Divided into five parts, the book explores the tradition in the context of issues including authenticity, gender, queer studies, musical analysis, and performance. The contributors reveal how the tradition has been expressed around the world and throughout its history to the present day. Essential reading for enthusiasts, practitioners, students, and scholars, this book features case studiesof a wide range of both well and lesser-known singer-songwriters, from Thomas d''Urfey through to Carole King and Kanye West."--Publisher''s description.

Practicing Islam in Egypt - Aaron Rock Singer - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Practicing Islam in Egypt - Aaron Rock Singer - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Following the ideological disappointment of the 1967 Arab-Israeli War, an Islamic revival arose in Egypt. Yet, far from a mechanical reaction to the decline of secular nationalism, this religious shift was the product of impassioned competition among Muslim Brothers, Salafis and state institutions and their varied efforts to mobilize Egyptians to their respective projects. By pulling together the linked stories of these diverse claimants to religious authority and tracing the social and intellectual history of everyday practices of piety, Aaron Rock-Singer shows how Islamic activists and institutions across the political spectrum reshaped daily practices in an effort to persuade followers to adopt novel models of religiosity. In so doing, he reveals how Egypt''s Islamic revival emerged, who it involved, and why it continues to shape Egypt today.

Practical Ethics - Peter (princeton University Singer - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

"For thirty years, Peter Singer''s Practical Ethics has been the classic introduction to applied ethics. For this third edition, the author has revised and updated all the chapters and added a new chapter addressing climate change, one of the most important ethical challenges of our generation. Some of the questions discussed in this book concern our daily lives. Is it ethical to buy luxuries when others do not have enough to eat? Should we buy meat from intensively reared animals? Am I doing something wrong if my carbon footprint is above the global average? Other questions confront us as concerned citizens: equality and discrimination on the grounds of race or sex; abortion, the use of embryos for research and euthanasia; political violence and terrorism; and the preservation of our planet''s environment. This book''s lucid style and provocative argumentsmake it an ideal text for university courses and for anyone willing to think about how she or he ought to live"--
