Virtuoso violinist Gideon Davies has lost his memory of music and his ability to play the instrument he mastered at the age of five. One fateful night at Wigmore Hall, he lifted his violin to play in a Beethoven trio . . . and everything in his mind related to music was gone. Gideon suffers from a form of amnesia, the cure for which is an examination of what he can remember. And what he can remember is little enough until his mind is triggered by the weeping of a woman and a single name: Sonia. One rainy evening, a woman called Eugenie travels to London for a mysterious appointment. But before she is able to reach her destination, a car swoops out of nowhere and kills her in the street. In pursuing her killer, Thomas Lynley, Barbara Havers and Winston Nkata come to know a group of people inextricably connected by a long-ago crime and punishment no one has spoken of for twenty years.

Presents a case for a society of mutual respect, proposing welfare system improvements, and citing the consequences of disrespectful behaviors in today's competitive society. Titel: Respect in a World of Inequality Genre: Sociology The powerful case for a society of mutual respect. As various forms of social welfare were dismantled though the last decade of the twentieth century, many thinkers argued that human well-being was best served by a focus on potential, not need. Richard Sennett thinks differently. In this dazzling blend of personal memoir and reflective scholarship, he addresses need and social responsibility across the gulf of inequality. In the uncertain world of "flexible" social relationships, all are troubled by issues of respect: whether it is an employee stuck with insensitive management, a social worker trying to aid a resentful client, or a virtuoso artist and an accom

En historie om seks søstre i begyndelsen af 1900-tallet. Om livet på landet, fattigdom, sygdom, hårdt arbejde og uretfærdigheder, men også om dejlige baller, smukke kjoler og skarnsstreger Titel: En historie om seks søstre Genre: Historisk Sammendrag: Her har jeg skrevet hele historien om min mor og hendes fem søstres barndom og ungdom. Det skete alt sammen for lang tid siden ude på landet. Min mor blev født i 1917. Der var ikke mange penge, og der var besværligheder, sygdom, hårdt arbejde og uretfærdighed – alligevel var der også fest og glade dage og baller med violinspil og en strålende blå kjole. Min mor blev kaldt Migge. Dengang hjalp børn til, og da Migge blev konfirmeret, blev hun karl på ejendommen. Det er også historien om et ur med en mand af træ, der rækker tunge. Og to dukker, hvis øjne ikke kan lukkes. Derfor ser de alting. Type: Hardcover
Bind 2 af "Musikoplevelse" fortsætter den pædagogiske introduktion til klassisk musik for folkeskolens ældste elever. Bogen forklarer først symfoniorkestrets instrumenter og hvordan de grupperes i strygere, træblæsere, messing og slagtøj. Dernæst gennemgås musikkens vigtigste former som sonate, symfoni, koncert og suite. Hoveddelen består af korte kapitler om ca. 45 klassiske mesterværker fra forskellige epoker, fra middelalderlig gregoriansk sang over barok og wienerklassik til romantik og moderne tolvtonemusik. Hvert værk præsenteres med komponist, historisk baggrund, musikalske kendetegn og forslag til hvad eleverne skal lytte efter. Kapitlerne indeholder spørgsmål, lytteøvelser og små spil-selv-opgaver, der skal aktivere eleverne og gøre dem fortrolige med den klassiske musiks sprog.
