  The Victorians thought, wrote and preached much more about heaven than we do today. As the subject of death comes out of the closet after 120 years when it has been largely shunned and avoided, this book presents the views on the afterlife of a number of well-known Victorians, and others not so well known, in the belief that they may help us today as we seek to get over our fear of death and what lies beyond it and to rescue ourselves from its privatization and over-medicalization.

  The history of the American West is woven with the stories of lands that were once home to indigenous peoples whose lives were irrevocably transformed by the arrival of European settlers. The beginning of this contact was marked by curiosity, fear, and misunderstanding, as both sides struggled to comprehend the profound differences in their cultures and ways of life. Initially, this period was characterized by cautious encounters where indigenous communities and the newcomers exchanged gifts, ideas, and sometimes even skills. However, as explorers, traders, and missionaries increasingly set foot in native territories, the dynamics began to shift dramatically. 
  For many Native tribes, these early interactions brought both opportunity and challenge. The appearance of strangers from across the vast and mysterious ocean introduced new technologies and worldviews that were entirely foreign to the indigenous people. The initial exchange was not always violent, yet it set in motion a gradual process of disruption. Encounters with the newcomers soon revealed differences in attitudes toward land ownership and resource management. Where Native tribes had long held a spiritual connection to the land, considering it a shared, communal resource, European settlers arrived with the concept of individual property rights, leading to disputes and tensions that would only grow over time. 
  As the settlers journeyed further into the heart of the West, their presence ignited both awe and anxiety among the Native populations. The natural beauty and abundance of the land captured the imaginations of many settlers, yet it also raised concerns among indigenous communities about the lasting impact on the ecosystems and the delicate balance that had sustained them for generations.

  There has never been a definitive, forensically detailed history of Oasis and their music; a book that takes listeners to the heart of the band's work and what lay behind it in the kind of deeply researched, knowledgeable detail that has been afforded The Beatles, perhaps most notably with Ian MacDonald's Revolution In the Head, which examined every Beatles song in chronological detail. The authors' intention is to write the book that satisfies the many millions of fans globally similarly obsessed with Oasis's music, but who currently only have scattered social media pages to turn to add depth to the story. Leading music journalists Hamish MacBain and Ted Kessler deliver the definitive, chronological history of the songs of Oasis that will appeal to fans old and new, in doing so, bringing the wider Oasis story into play in glorious color.The pair have interviewed both Gallaghers dozens of times between 1994 and 2024, and no other journalists can claim more—or more lively—encounters with Liam and Noel. The book will also revisit each interview in the first-person, chronologically throughout, to add unique perspective and texture to the wider story. MacBain and Kessle will also dissect sleeve-art with the designers and photographers, delving into each detail surrounding the band. This is a veritable Oasis treasure trove!

  This practice-oriented book is aimed at musicians who are interested in playing the historical clarinet but have so far set or had to set other professional priorities. It contains - without any scientific claim - an overview of historical developments of the instrument as well as considerations on the choice of the instrument in the context of historically informed performance (HIP). Fingering charts for the individual categories of historical clarinet instruments are presented graphically, as is customary today. Finger exercises and studies are specially developed and designed to the fingering problems of historical instruments.Information and tips from practice are intended to be a guide for those interested and to help answering questions. A repertoire excerpt and references to further specialist literature are intended to stimulate the deepening of already acquired knowledge.
