Review The Politics of Navigation: Globalisation, Music and Composition / VDM Verlag Dr. Mueller e.K.:

The influence of globalisation on musical composition has grown remarkably in recent years. This reflects the wider impact of late 20th Century demographic and technological shifts on culture. Great movements of people followed the end of the cold war, with migrants in their millions responding to the call of more affluent nations for willing workers. The industrialisation of many developing countries similarly fuelled the movement of people, with ethnic tensions following the withdrawal of colonial powers displacing many others. The globalisation of information, the 'internet' accompanied by widespread exploitation of satellite communications technology, has brought new images and sounds into our work and dwelling places. These shifts have accelerated the practices associated with musical globalisation, causing new 'accented' cultures to develop, absorbing, influencing, reflecting and refracting new host milieux. These changes have impacted on musical practices, destabilising core assumptions and disturbing long established hierarchies. The present volume explores these developing influences through a consideration of extant works, experimental composition and contingent analysis.

Review What We Wore (Starting History) / Hodder Wayland:

The "Starting History" series offers young readers an introduction to history and aims to meet the requirements of ATs 1, 3 and 4 of the National History Curriculum for Key Stage 1. Aided by historical and contemporary photographs, the series discusses how life in Britain has changed since 1930 and invites readers to make comparisons with their own experiences. It also encourages them to further their understanding of the past by talking to older relatives. This volume examines the changes in the way people dress. The subject of clothes is treated thematically rather than chronologically, so that readers can see that different types of dress are worn in different situations and that all types of clothes have undergone changes.
