Jazz The American Theme Song
Praised by the Washington Post as a 'tough, unblinked critic', James Lincoln Collier is probably the most controversial writer on jazz today. With the publication of 'Jazz: The American Theme Song', Collier does nothing to soften his reputation for hard-hitting, incisive commentary. Questioning everything we think we know about jazz-- its origins, its innovative geniuses, the importance of improvisation and spontaneous inspiration in a performance-- and the jazz world, these ten provocative essays on the music and its place in American culture overturn tired assumptions and will alternately enrage, enlighten, and entertain. 'Jazz: The Americna Theme Song' offers music lovers razor-sharp analysis of musical trends and styles, and fearless explorations of the most potentially explosive issues in jazz today. Collier argues, for example, that although jazz was originally devised by African Americans from black folk music, jazz has long been a part of the cultural heritage of musicians and audiences of all races and classes, and is not black music per se. Impeccably researched and informed by Collier's wide-ranging intellect. 'Jazz: The American Theme Song' is an important look at jazz's past, its present, and its uncertain future. It is a book everyone who cares about the music will want to read. - Category: Books Reading - New Item: 461124320

Evolution of Social Behaviour Patterns in Primates and Man A Joint Discussion Meeting of the Royal Society and the British Academy
The fourteen contributions testify to the increasing co-operation which is bringing together biologists, primatologists, archaeologists, psychologists, linguists and anthropologists who share a common interest in the study of social and cultural behaviour from an evolutionary perspective. The papers, derived from a Royal Society/British Academy meeting, range in topic from cultural and social behaviour among non-human primates, through the interaction of cognitive development with social organization during the Upper Palaeolithic, to behaviour (including linguistic behaviour) among modern humans. This volume reflects the important recent developments in such areas as behavioural ecology, evolutionary psychology and the origin and function of language. - Category: Books Reading - New Item: 461513903

Economics for Business
Helps businesspeople understand the global economic environment in which they must do business. This book covers the increasing convergence of world economic policy on three principles: an emphasis on market mechanisms rather than state intervention; the preeminence of stability as a goal for macroeconomic policy; and a preference for internationally-oriented policies, rather than protectionism. Within this framework, the book introduces a wide variety of critical issues, including labor, investment and interest rates; inflation and the role of central banks; the causes and consequences of business fluctuations; fiscal policy and budget deficits; the balance of payments, and exchange rates. - Books Reading - New - 461719991
