Initially, The Boardgamer’s publication ran concurrently with Avalon Hill’s house magazine, The General, but instead of focusing on new releases, it devoted coverage to those classic, Avalon Hill games which no longer graced the pages of The General.

Download or read book All State Prep written by Eddie Lewis and published by Tiger Music. This book was released on 2007 with total page 83 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written for high school trumpet players intending to audition for the All-State Band, ¿All-State Prep for Trumpet¿ covers everything a student will need to practice from the time after solo and ensemble contest (mid-Spring) until the day the All-State music is announced (late-Summer). The objective of this book is to help the student sound more mature and stand out at the audition. Most students only strive to be as good as the rest of the students their age. As a result, it is difficult for the judges to tell them apart. The judges can identify the top two or three players, and they almost always recognize the worst players in the room. The ninety percent of players between those extremes make up a pool of mediocrity that the judges are forced to choose from almost at random. Being one of the ninety percent is a lot like playing the lottery. Being selected for the All-State Band becomes a game of chance. The good news is that high school students can swing the odds in their favor and sound like a college player, if they focus on the correct preparation. Judges are not impressed with the same things that impress high school trumpet players. Judges are not impressed with playing high, fast, or loud. They are impressed with musical maturity. ¿All-State Prep for Trumpet¿ focuses on developing the musical maturity that wins auditions.

Download or read book Bitten by the Blues written by Bruce Iglauer and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2018-10-19 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It started with the searing sound of a slide careening up the neck of an electric guitar. In 1970, twenty-three-year-old Bruce Iglauer walked into Florence’s Lounge, in the heart of Chicago’s South Side, and was overwhelmed by the joyous, raw Chicago blues of Hound Dog Taylor and the HouseRockers. A year later, Iglauer produced Hound Dog’s debut album in eight hours and pressed a thousand copies, the most he could afford. From that one album grew Alligator Records, the largest independent blues record label in the world. Bitten by the Blues is Iglauer’s memoir of a life immersed in the blues—and the business of the blues. No one person was present at the creation of more great contemporary blues music than Iglauer: he produced albums by Koko Taylor, Albert Collins, Professor Longhair, Johnny Winter, Lonnie Mack, Son Seals, Roy Buchanan, Shemekia Copeland, and many other major figures. In this book, Iglauer takes us behind the scenes, offering unforgettable stories of those charismatic musicians and classic sessions, delivering an intimate and unvarnished look at what it’s like to work with the greats of the blues. It’s a vivid portrait of some of the extraordinary musicians and larger-than-life personalities who brought America’s music to life in the clubs of Chicago’s South and West Sides. Bitten by the Blues is also an expansive history of half a century of blues in Chicago and around the world, tracing the blues recording business through massive transitions, as a genre of music originally created by and for black southerners adapted to an influx of white fans and musicians and found a worldwide audience. Most of the smoky bars and packed clubs that fostered the Chicago blues scene have long since disappeared. But their soul lives on, and so does their sound. As real and audacious as the music that shaped it, Bitten by the Blues is a raucous journey through the world of Genuine Houserockin’ Music.

Download or read book Performing Consciousness written by Per Brask and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2010-02-19 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since its inaugural issue in April, 2000, the journal Consciousness, Literature and the Arts has regularly published essays on the intersection of theatre and consciousness. Often these essays have seen theatre as a spiritual practice that for both the performer and her audience can bring about experiences that help heal the world, a shift in consciousness. This practice, though spiritual, is not ethereal but is rooted in doing, in actions, in breathing. That is, theatre is seen as an art form understood as part of a whole, as taking place in total Consciousness as well as expressing consciousness(es), making both breathing a source of meaning and shamanic journeying part of the creative process that brings into “being” imaginative resources for the actor that undermines traditional understandings of character/self/ego. All the pieces collected here, then, reveal a concern with consciousness and the theatre, the ways that performance can be a spiritual practice, a means a reaching higher levels of consciousness, as well as the ways the theatre may have healing effects on audiences by engaging them in wider and deeper levels of imagination, the levels where dualities disappear.

Download or read book written by Cody Coffey and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2009-11 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I wrote this book because I feel there is a reason for all that is going on in the world; a cauldron of misery, suffering, anguish, and strife. Everyone is caught up in it and those who feel they are not or feel they have an educated reason and philosophy for what they see, are not seeing the bigger picture. Most people come up with the biggest, most elaborate questions and answers, but most do not tap into another reason or meaning for what life is about and what is transpiring. What if there is a very deeper meaning, deeper purpose besides the basic fundamentals of life that we know of, and our purpose here. What if everything we say, do and think about are just conforming to our own selfish reasons. I am trying to put forth the argument of what the real reasons are. The answers so many accept and try to figure out based on nothing else but the theoretical speculation and trial and error. The most brilliant minds in the world, the most compelling arguments, explanations and theories have played and still play a major role into where we are, where we are going and what we have reduced ourselves to. While many may look to rationalize an incoherent world with rational thought, many are ignoring what could be a devastating calamity taken place right under our noses. Something so subtle that it is less resound then a feather hitting the ground half way around the world, yet would have the impact to wipe out humanity or create hell on earth.

Download or read book More Nights than Days written by Yudit Kiss and published by Central European University Press. This book was released on 2023-07-31 with total page 424 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a unique exploration of the experience of children who survived the Holocaust—including Roma and Sinti victims—and the genocides in Cambodia, Rwanda, and Bosnia. Children are among the principal victims of armed conflicts and slaughters; nonetheless, they perceive events through the prism of their unique perspective and have a different range of coping techniques than adults. This overview of the writings of ninety-one child survivors bears evidence to a wide range of human ruthlessness. The author presents little-known texts along with famous memoirs and autobiographical fiction, with abundant quotations. Many of these are not only compelling as historical testimony, but poetic, moving and stirring. Yudit Kiss has not written a historical study or literary criticism of the children’s books. She explores, instead, what the authors went through and what they felt and understood about their experience. Accessible and captivating, this volume presents a close-up, human-size dimension of destruction. The books written by child survivors also describe the resources and means that helped them to remain human even in the deepest well of inhumanity, offering precious lessons about resistance and resilience.

Download or read book The Epistemic Role of Consciousness written by Declan Smithies and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2019-08-02 with total page 457 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is the role of consciousness in our mental lives? Declan Smithies argues here that consciousness is essential to explaining how we can acquire knowledge and justified belief about ourselves and the world around us. On this view, unconscious beings cannot form justified beliefs and so they cannot know anything at all. Consciousness is the ultimate basis of all knowledge and epistemic justification. Smithies builds a sustained argument for the epistemic role of phenomenal consciousness which draws on a range of considerations in epistemology and the philosophy of mind. His position combines two key claims. The first is phenomenal mentalism, which says that epistemic justification is determined by the phenomenally individuated facts about your mental states. The second is accessibilism, which says that epistemic justification is luminously accessible in the sense that you're always in a position to know which beliefs you have epistemic justification to hold. Smithies integrates these two claims into a unified theory of epistemic justification, which he calls phenomenal accessibilism. The book is divided into two parts, which converge on this theory of epistemic justification from opposite directions. Part 1 argues from the bottom up by drawing on considerations in the philosophy of mind about the role of consciousness in mental representation, perception, cognition, and introspection. Part 2 argues from the top down by arguing from general principles in epistemology about the nature of epistemic justification. These mutually reinforcing arguments form the basis for a unified theory of the epistemic role of phenomenal consciousness, one that bridges the gap between epistemology and philosophy of mind.
