Beschreibung

Salsa History explores the vibrant and complex story of salsa music, a globally recognized genre with surprisingly recent roots. The book traces salsa's journey from its diverse musical origins, including Cuban son and mambo, to its explosion in New York City and subsequent globalization. 

 
It highlights the fascinating cultural exchange that fueled salsa's creation, emphasizing how it's not simply a Cuban or Puerto Rican invention, but rather a hybrid genre born from the unique confluence of cultures in New York. The book uniquely emphasizes the perspectives of the musicians and dancers who shaped the genre. It adopts a narrative non-fiction style, blending historical research with engaging storytelling.

 
Beginning with the musical foundations in Cuba, the narrative shifts to New York City, highlighting the contributions of key figures and venues, before exploring salsa's spread across Latin America, Europe, and beyond. The book concludes by considering the contemporary landscape of salsa and its ongoing evolution.

    How Did Life End Up With Us? -...

    Why does the gene behave like a hedge fund manager? Why are mutations like a gambling scam? Why does nothing ever become top dog in life and win forever? Humans only arrived after 99.99% of the time there’s been life on earth. So what was here before us? And how did these species, and the evolutionary process that created them, end up with the unpromising creatures that were our ancestors?In this, the first book of The Secrets of Life quartet, SS O’Connor brings his outsider’s, questioning eye to reveal the great forces that lie behind life: from the laws that arose with Big Bang, through to the ‘decisions’ that organisms make to determine their chances.But how did everything come about? And what made some life forms succeed - while others would join the 99.9% of species that appeared, yet went on to become extinct? The story goes right back to our single-celled forebears - the only things that were on the planet for 80% of its existence, and then continues as it lays out the ways that successive transmissions built increasing complexity, and how the resulting species found their synergistic ways of coexisting.  In an easy-going, conversational style, O'Connor explains in lay-man's language how the gene is the great conductor of life’s orchestra, how it helped millions of life forms to refine themselves - yet why it also sees failure, death and extinctions as opportunities rather than disasters.  Last, the book tells the story of the men who unpicked the mysteries, what they meant by fitness and ‘the fittest’, but why they continued to be baffled by organisms that broke the rules by helping each other. Why would some even choose to be sterile when producing the next generation was the overriding compulsion in life? And why would the answer to this question explain why altruism is the proof for the ‘gene-based theory of evolution’ - and why cooperation was to become the strongest force in life?

    Independent study programs aren't for the "best" students; they are populated by students at their best. 
     
     
     
    Student disengagement from school is a trending concern, and many schools have turned their attention to independent study programs as a way to nurture student motivation and creativity. But where to begin? 
     
     
     
    Geraldine Woods offers a practical, step-by-step guide based on her experience designing and directing the much-admired independent study program at the Horace Mann School. Under the supervision of teachers, students embark on a remarkable variety of projects and become teachers themselves, conducting seminars with their peers along the way to preparing their final product—which could as easily be an interactive website or musical composition as a research paper. Woods's book details the nuts and bolts of the approach and shows how to customize it for a variety of age groups, budgets, and curricular requirements. It is a gift to all educators—including homeschooling parents—who want to give students the freedom to pursue their interests.
