Synopsis

Music and Politics explores the deep connection between music and the political world, showing how musicians have used their art to challenge injustice, sway opinions, and shape political discussions. It examines music not just as entertainment but as a powerful tool for communication, capable of uniting diverse groups and amplifying marginalized voices. Did you know that protest songs during the Civil Rights Movement and anti-war anthems of the Vietnam era are prime examples of music's influence on social change? The book dives into how music reflects, strengthens, and reshapes our shared values and political beliefs.

 
The book approaches this topic in three parts: first, it introduces key musical concepts; second, it presents case studies of music's impact on political events; and third, it synthesizes these findings to offer a framework for understanding music's ongoing relevance in politics. A key argument is that music can shape public opinion and contribute to shifts in political power. The analysis draws upon song lyrics, interviews, and even data on music sales to assess music's impact on political attitudes. Ultimately, this interdisciplinary approach provides a comprehensive understanding, going beyond simple protest music to explore the diverse ways music intersects with political processes.

A Rare Recording of President...

President Richard Nixon

Richard Milhous Nixon (January 9, 1913 - April 22, 1994) was the 37th president of the United States, serving from 1969 to 1974. A member of the Republican Party, he previously served as a representative and senator from California and was the 36th vice president from 1953 to 1961 under President Dwight D. Eisenhower. His five years in the White House saw reduction of U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War, détente with the Soviet Union and China, the first crewed Moon landings, and the establishment of the Environmental Protection Agency and Occupational Safety and Health Administration. Nixon's second term ended early, when he became the only US president to resign from office, as a result of the Watergate scandal.

To The Call of Bugles - A...

Bill Openshaw

This highly readable illustrated biography on the Percy Tenantry Volunteers has been written with exclusive access to the current Duke of Northumberland's treasure trove of archive records. This book is for anyone interested in military history, especially Revolutionary and the Napoleonic war period, and for those looking at the local history of Northumberland, and especially Alnwick Castle.
The history of Britain's conflict with France between 1793 and 1815 is well documented. Nevertheless, one aspect that has scant coverage, is that of the role of Volunteers.  In 1798, afraid of impending invasion by France's all-conquering armies the British desperately needed to defend their shores. To The Call of Bugles reveals, for the first time, how among those who stood forward in Home Guard style military bodies, there was no finer example than that of the valiant Percy Tenantry Volunteers, created by the 2nd Duke of Northumberland, General Hugh Percy. This amateur body of men, 1,500 strong, consisting of cavalry, artillery and riflemen, was put together, trained, armed, dressed and operated by General Hugh Percy. This book provides stories from the original volunteers, an in-depth understanding of how such a corps was organised and reveals how they were fashioned into an elite and innovative fighting force.

Whether interrogating Italy's stalled progress on Open Science or advocating for a publishing model driven by academic values rather than profit motives, this book is an essential resource for researchers, policymakers, and advocates committed to the future of knowledge as a public good.

Patriarchy Inc - What We Get...

Cordelia Fine

Work remains much as it always has: men occupy the vast majority of leadership roles and are overrepresented in positions from engineer to plumber. We see many jobs as "male" or "female," with women dominating in healthcare and childcare professions. Pretending that this is the natural state of things―or that, instead, both sexes should submit to working 24/7—is just not right. 
 
 
 
In Patriarchy Inc., Cordelia Fine examines with razor-sharp and quick-witted analysis why gender inequality is embedded in the workplace and why it has to change. Drawing on theories from evolutionary science, psychology, economics, and sociology, she examines two of the most prominent movements in the corporate world. The Different But Equal viewpoint espouses that women are in the jobs they want despite their lower status and salaries. In the meantime, DEI (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion) has become a slogan that emphasizes productivity and profit, not fair play. Fine shows how both are wrong and the bad effects on everyone when men are still stuck in traditional breadwinner roles and women are having to fight for their due. 
 
 
 
Offering perceptive and much-needed insight into the current state of work, Patriarchy Inc. explores how we can get closer to achieving equality, even if it means upturning business as usual.
