Sinopse

Dance Trends Evolution explores the captivating story of how dance crazes emerge, evolve, and reflect society. It examines dance not just as entertainment, but as a powerful form of cultural expression and social negotiation. The book uniquely blends performance analysis with cultural studies, revealing how dance interacts with social, political, and economic forces. For example, the book illuminates how dance trends often express prevailing social anxieties and aspirations, and how technological advancements impact the spread of dance styles.

 
The book progresses systematically across three parts. It begins by laying a foundation of key concepts and historical context and defining terms like "cultural appropriation". It then delves into specific dance trends such as the waltz, swing, hip-hop, and even TikTok dances, analyzing their origins, technical characteristics, and cultural impact.

 
Finally, the book synthesizes these findings to draw broader conclusions about dance's role in shaping cultural identities and fostering social change, offering a valuable perspective for anyone interested in dance history, performing arts, or cultural studies.

Meno

Plato

Meno is a Platonic dialogue which addresses the question of whether virtue can be taught, and examines the concept of anamnesis. Through Socrates' questioning of Meno's slave, the dialogue suggests that knowledge is innate, with Socrates suggesting that all learning occurs through recollection of our prior knowledge rather than through instruction.

China's Next Act - How...

Scott M. Moore

Ever since China began its ascendancy to great-power status in the 1980s, observers have focused on its growing economic, military, and diplomatic power. But in recent years, Chinese officials, businesses, and institutions have increased their visibility and influence on every major global issue. How have these newer issues changed China's relationship with the world? And, importantly, how can we prepare for a future increasingly shaped by China? 
 
 
 
In China's Next Act, Scott M. Moore re-envisions China's role in the world, with a focus on sustainability and technology. Moore argues that these increasingly pressing, shared global challenges are reshaping China's economy and foreign policy, and consequently, cannot be tackled without China. 
 
 
 
In this clearly written and accessible overview, Moore examines how countries like the US must balance cooperation and competition with China in response to shared challenges. With an emphasis on opportunities as well as threats, Moore addresses not only key developments in sustainability and technology within China, but also their implications for foreign countries, companies, and other organizations. China's Next Act provides a unique—and uniquely balanced—window into these new dimensions of China's global ascension.

Rough Notes Taken During Some...

Francis Bond Head

“Galloped on with no stopping, but merely to change horses until five o’clock in the evening—very tired indeed, but . . . saw fresh horses in the corral, and resolved to push on. At half-past seven, after having galloped a hundred and fifty-three miles, and been fourteen hours and a half on horseback got to the post—quite exhausted—I could scarcely speak . . . an hour before daylight was awakened by the Gaucho, got up, had some mate, mounted my horse, and as I galloped along felt pleased that the sun should find me at my work. . .”Later in life nicknamed “Galloping Head,” for his exploits on the Argentine pampas, Sir Frances Head Bond, went to the Argentine in 1825 as mining supervisor for the Rio Plata Mining Association, a group of English speculators whose ill-planed and financially disastrous idea it was to send Cornish miners to re-open old gold and silver mines in the former Spanish colonies. His “Rough Notes,” often written in a staccato style that is surprisingly fresh, show a gusty, resourceful adventurer— riding across the Andes on mules who sank into snow above their knees at every step, obliging the riders to balance their feet on the mules’ ears; clambering down 250 feet of notched sticks to inspect a silver mine; foraging bluntly for food for his men in a land of scarcity: “We found they had got dry peaches and live goats. We put some of the former in a pot to boil . . . and because I was very hungry, I put a pistol to (the goat’s) ear, and in a short time he was roasting on the burning embers.” Sir Bond Head later served as lieutenant –governor of Upper Canada 1835-1837.

False Front - The Failed Promise...

Kenneth Lowande

A provocative new perspective on presidential power. 
 
 
 
Border walls, school bathrooms, student loans, gun control, diversity, abortion, climate change—today, nothing seems out of reach for the president's pen. But after all the press releases, ceremonies, and speeches, shockingly little gets done. The American presidency promises to solve America's problems, but presidents' unilateral solutions are often weak, even empty. 
 
 
 
Kenneth Lowande argues this is no accident. The US political system is not set up to allow presidents to solve major policy problems, yet it lays these problems at their doorstep, and there is no other elected official better positioned to attract attention by appearing to govern. Like any politician, presidents are strategic actors who seek symbolic wins. They pursue executive actions, even when they know that these will fail, because doing so allows them to put on a compelling show for key constituencies. But these empty presidential actions are not without their costs: they divert energy from effective government—and, over time, undermine public trust. Drawing on thousands of executive actions, news coverage, interviews, and presidential archives, False Front shows that the real root of presidential power is in what presidents can get away with not doing.
