Описание:
In 1951, musician Kenneth Peacock (1922-2000) secured a contract from the National Museum of Canada (today the Canadian Museum of History) to collect folksongs in Newfoundland. As the province had recently joined Confederation, the project was deemed a goodwill gesture, while at the same time adding to the Museum's meager Anglophone archival collections. Between 1951 and 1961, over the course of six field visits, Peacock collected 766 songs and melodies from 118 singers in 38 communities, later publishing two-thirds of this material in a three-volume collection, Songs of the Newfoundland Outports (1965). As the publication consists of over 1000 pages, Outports is considered to be a bible for Newfoundland singers and a valuable resource for researchers. However, Peacock's treatment of the material by way of tune-text collations, use of lines and stanzas from unpublished songs has always been somewhat controversial. Additionally, comparison of the field collection with Outports indicates that although Peacock acquired a range of material, his personal preferences requently guided his publishing agenda. To ensure that the songs closely correspond to what the singers presented to Peacock, the collection has been prepared by drawing on Peacock's original music and textual notes and his original field recordings. The collection is far-ranging and eclectic in that it includes British and American broadsides, musical hall and vaudeville material alongside country and western songs, and local compositions. It also highlights the influence of popular media on the Newfoundland song tradition and contextualizes a number of locally composed songs. In this sense, it provides a key link between what Peacock actually recorded and the material he eventually published. As several of the songs have not previously appeared in the standard Newfoundland collections, The Forgotten Songs sheds new light on the extent of Peacock's collecting. The collection includes 125 songs arranged under 113 titles along with extensive notes on the songs, and brief biographies of the 58 singers. Thanks to the Research Centre for the Study of Music Media and Place, a video of the launch event, held in St.John's, Newfoundland, is available at https: //www.youtube.com/watch?v=ghj6E6-QiLI&t=21s.

Описание: After studying the Revelation of Jesus Christ for several years I believe I have found the most truthful purpose of the Book, to show Jesus Christ as King of kings and Lord of lords.
In Reagan's Third Term, author Gib Kearney presents an exciting story of how one of America's most beloved presidents might have significantly altered history if elected to serve four more years.
The book opens on Valentine's Day 1988 with news that a military coup has deposed Mikhail Gorbachev as leader of the USSR. After a series of missteps by candidate George HW Bush, congress revokes the 22nd Amendment, and Ronald Reagan wins reelection (beating Senator Ted Kennedy) by a landslide.
But the world Reagan inherits is a dangerous place: on the verge of war with an expansionist Soviet Union and teetering on economic collapse. At home, the President struggles to advance a conservative agenda, confront a domestic coup d'etat, and choose a successor true to the Reagan Revolution.
North Korea. New appointments to the Supreme Court. Abortion. School prayer. Israel, Iraq, Libya. Welfare. The Culture War. The demise of the Democratic Party. It's all there--and more.
As a work of alternate history, Kearney's novel blends actual events and figures from the period with others that would have challenged and defined the Reagan presidency in fascinating new ways. Well-researched, and with an authoritative tone, Reagan's Third Term, is both comprehensive, and convincing, in its depiction of what might have been.
Throughout, Ronald Reagan is presented as a heroic figure who stands tall and resolute in doing what is right, whether it concerns Saddam Hussein's invasion of Iraq, making changes to the US Constitution, overhauling welfare, or confronting a nuclear North Korea. The book also presents a very human side of Reagan, whether threatened by assassination, allegations of racial insensitivity, or struggling with dissent from within his own party.
Above all, Reagan's Third Term is a fun and engaging read, full of twists and surprises. At the center of it all is a portrayal of Reagan guaranteed to delight his admirers; a man whose character provides him with the strength to take on the world, and transform it into something very different from the fractured and dangerous one we now inhabit.Learn more at ReagansThirdTerm.com
