Paul Weller and Popular Music (Ashgate Popular and Folk Music Series)

Using research, analysis and a range of historical sources, Paul Weller and Popular Music immerses the reader in the excitement of Paul Weller's unique creative journey, covering topics such as the artist's position within his field; his creative processes; the contexts in which the music was made; the artist as collaborator; signifiers that mark the trajectory of the music; and formative influences. Focusing on over 40 years of recorded work from 'In the City' to 'Fat Pop (Volume One)', this study explores why Paul Weller's music is widely considered both timeless and of its time, and with reference to a wide range of interviews, reviews and texts, it offers an in-depth critical analysis of Paul Weller's music. It will be of particular interest to scholars and researchers of popular music, popular culture, performance studies and music production.

The second edition of this invaluable guide is a comprehensive exploration of how the French legal system operates, from court structure and the legal professions to matters of proof and procedure before the criminal, civil and administrative courts. The roles of the Conseil d'Etat and the Conseil Constitutionnel are examined, as are such interesting questions as the place of case law in the courts and the operation of the inquisitorial system of criminal procedure.

At a time of increasing financial pressure on families as well as the services that support them, children are doubly disadvantaged. The economical mass-provision of proven approaches appears to be an unquestionable strategy. In this frank and revealing book, written by an experienced child and adolescent psychiatrist of eclectic and questioning persuasion, the argument is made that we are travelling in the wrong direction. A blinkered pursuit of empirical evidence and uniform delivery is leading us away from any sensitive and reciprocal relationship between caring professionals and the young individuals whose interests they are there to serve.Drawing on attachment and psychodynamic approaches, as well as systemic, values-based and mindful practice, Being With and Saying Goodbye describes an attitude that should be the prerequisite and medium of all child and adolescent work that has therapeutic intention. Unacknowledged, even reviled, this ghost in the machine is threatened with extinction.Respectful of individuality, as well as the instinctual strengths and emerging autonomy of young people, Being With and Saying Goodbye challenges the fact-based, risk-averse, and quantifying milieu now prevalent. It provides a Yin to the dominant Yang, and makes a plea for the reinstatement of balance and personal discovery.

Youth and Positive Uncertainty: Negotiating life pathways in post-conflict and fragile environments

<table class="detailed" width="100%" border="0"> <tr> <td>Young people do not necessarily view uncertainty in their lives as negative, especially those most-marginalised youth who see their 'certainty' as poverty, unemployment and environmental fragility. Youth perspectives presented in this book show how some of the most-marginalised youth seek 'positive uncertainty' by escape from traditional practices and social bonds in families and communities, through migration or seeking innovative and alternative ways to meet peer, adult and societal expectations. The authors explore how youth see uncertainty in their lives as they grow up in different parts of the world, and how they respond and take action in terms of `positive uncertainty'. When young people don't know what is going to happen in their lives and contexts, they often embrace it as positive and use their creativity to take up new opportunities and futures. Many of the poorest or most-marginalised young women and men often need to move away from home and migrate, but still want to meet the expectations of others, stay connected and be accepted back into their families and communities on their return. The chapters describe learning from the creativity of young men and women in Ethiopia and Nepal, and youth who are genderfluid in Nepal, regarding uncertainty and discusses the implications for policy and practice, and changing societies. This type of youth-centred research can help to tell the stories of the most-marginalised and support young people's strategies in the face of both uncertainty and insecurity in conflict situations, fragile environments and communities in the global South.</td> </tr> </table>

With a future characterised by exponential change, technology kinks, and crises that serve as vehicles for fast-forwarding the impacts of change, it is fortuitous that a group of genuine experts with wide and deep backgrounds in education, music, and other industries has written about their experience during the COVID-19 crisis, including the immediate adjustments they were required to make, the division of those adjustments into ones that are transitory and should disappear when the crisis is over and others that will likely be more permanent, and lessons that can be learned from the crisis to make us be better prepared to meet the challenges and take advantage of the opportunities that will be presented by future crises.
