Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report is part of a national campaign for music education that aims to focus the nation's attention on the pressing need to include music and the other arts at the center of the school curriculum. The credo of this campaign is, "Just as there can be no music without learning, no education is complete without music." The meaning of this credo is spelled out in this report through a four-part argument. In chapter 1, "Our Culture Is Dying," the contention is made that through inattention to music and the other arts in schools, the nation is dehumanizing its own people--and particularly the children--not by design but by default. It is argued that music has intrinsic value for the learner, and that a knowledge of music is essential to an educated human being. In chapter 2,"Education Without Music," evidence is explored that music education is being pushed to the periphery in schools. Chapter 3, "Education With Music," underscores two areas of interest: first, the new, pathbreaking areas of research on the nature of intelligence and brain function that are linked to music; and second, the significant contributions that music education can make to all of education beyond its intrinsic value. Finally, in chapter 4, "Making It Happen: Mounting a National Effort," there is discussion of ways of putting the credo to work, including linking the benefits of music education to a national advocacy effort to bring music and the other arts to their basic role in U.S. education. Two appendices are included: list of witnesses before the National Commission on Music Education, and a list of endorsing and supporting organizations. (DB)

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Paul Goodman’s Growing Up Absurd was a runaway best seller when it was first published in 1960, and it became one of the defining texts of the New Left. Goodman was a writer and thinker who broke every mold and did it brilliantly—he was a novelist, poet, and a social theorist, among a host of other things—and the book’s surprise success established him as one of America’s most unusual and trenchant critics, combining vast learning, an astute mind, utopian sympathies, and a wonderfully hands-on way with words. For Goodman, the unhappiness of young people was a concentrated form of the unhappiness of American society as a whole, run by corporations that provide employment (if and when they do) but not the kind of meaningful work that engages body and soul. Goodman saw the young as the first casualties of a humanly re­pressive social and economic system and, as such, the front line of potential resistance. Noam Chomsky has said, “Paul Goodman’s impact is all about us,” and certainly it can be felt in the powerful localism of today’s renascent left. A classic of anarchist thought, Growing Up Absurd not only offers a penetrating indictment of the human costs of corporate capitalism but points the way forward. It is a tale of yesterday’s youth that speaks directly to our common future.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Move over C S Lewis and Roald Dahl. There's a new storyteller on the rise and she's only 11 years old. Prepare to rediscover the value of friendship when family lets you down. In this mysterious true-to-life story, Aimi, Roci, Mousi, Sybil and Sycamore are a loose group of friends, aka The Bunch, who attend school together. The Bunch go to a 150-year old church camp, Mount Hermon, founded around the time of the first gold rush in 1849. The camp is located in a giant forest in the Santa Cruz mountains of California, just over the hill from Silicon Valley. In keeping with the principles of its founders, Bart, Prissie and their adopted son, Artie, the camp administrators have created a modern day refuge for children like the Bunch who live at a time when many people around them, including their parents, are chasing new gold nearby. Each member of the Bunch becomes seemingly inexplicably lost in the giant forest. They must each find themselves, then find one another before they can together again find their way home. Along the way they are baffled at why they receive help from new animal friend. Each member of the Bunch battles with and finds resolution to problems they face at home from overbearing or neglectful parents, sibling rivalry, prejudice, betrayal and displaced loyalty. When the five become reunited, bigger battles ensue. To return home they must overcome giants that have plagued them throughout their lost experience. If victorious, the Bunch can return to Mt. Hermon with the help of their new forest friends. A chapter book for for preteens who love to read. --- In this frame narrative, the second book in the Growing Up Aimi Series, Aimi is on a peace corps mission in the deepest jungles of India. Her first priority is the safety of the children she came to serve. Her second is to teach them to love to read. Miss A reads a book to the children about an earlier time of mystery when the high tech world threatened her friends and their new school. The young people determined to implement an old school approach to meet the challenges of the high-tech antics of adults bent on becoming the next unicorn in Silicon Valley. All the while, the school and children where Miss A is serving face the danger of being lost to the forces of time. Remember the impact that teachers and mentors have had on you and your life when parents and children, teachers and students read The Heliuna Academy together. The questions at the end of each chapter are student/teacher, parent/child and reader group tested. Go deeper in the relationships that are important to you. Can Aimi and her friends learn why their beloved teachers have gone missing? Can they stop the tides of change? Only the reader knows. --- I, Aimi, stood motionless as I peered through the just-closed final curtain. A few moments ago, we put a wrap on the last performance of our unique take on Beauty & the Beast. We called it - The Rose and the Thorn. Welcome to Book 3 in the Growing Up Aimi Series. Historical fiction? Mystery? Coming of Age? Or all. The reader knows. I guess the thinking is, or was, that if our school can twist Roald Dahl’s Charlie and the Chocolate Factory to our tastes, then Disney’s Beauty and the Beast would be fair game as well. Or, should I say, Gabrielle-Suzanne Barbot de Villeneuve’s Beauty and the Beast. She wrote it, gee, like, almost 200 years ago. I won’t say her name, however, for fear I say it wrong and Violet gets offended. She’s like that and will know how to say it. Not just because she is from France, but can speak French. And she does love to point it out to me when I make a mistake. --- Book 1, The Giant Forest, Aimi was in the 5th grade. Book 2, The Heliuna Academy, Aimi was in the 6th grade. Book 3, The LoGlas Theater, Aimi is now in the 7th grade. No magic, no time-travel, no fantastical beasts. Just good clean story telling as we watch and grow along with Aimi Wilby.

Book excerpt: Out of print for more than two decades, John M. Ford's Growing Up Weightless is an award-winning classic of a “lost generation” of young people born on the human-colonized Moon. Matthias Ronay has grown up in the low gravity and great glass citadels of independent Luna—and in the considerable shadow of his father, a member of the council that governs Luna's increasingly complex society. But Matt feels weighed down on the world where he was born, where there is no more need for exploration, for innovation, for radical ideas—and where his every movement can be tracked by his father on the infonets. Matt and five of his friends, equally brilliant and restless, have planned a secret adventure. They will trick the electronic sentinels, slip out of the city for a journey to Farside. Their passage into the expanse of perpetual night will change them in ways they never could have predicted...and bring Matt to the destiny for which he has yearned. With a new introduction by Francis Spufford, author of Red Plenty and Golden Hill. Tor Essentials presents new editions of science fiction and fantasy titles of proven merit and lasting value, each volume introduced by an appropriate literary figure.
