But the world of classical music can be highly intimidating and confusing. Ian Christians, for many years a passionate believer in broadening the interest in classical music, has developed a unique approach, designed to make it as easy as possible for both newcomers to classical music and those who have started down the path to explore with confidence. Discovering Classical Music concentrates on the greatest composers. The author takes you step-by-step into their most approachable music and, in some cases, boldly into some of the greatest works traditionally considered too difficult for newcomers. Rarely does a book offer such potential for continued enjoyment.This volume concentrates on the life, personality and music of Edward William Elgar. 606 $aComposers$vBiography 615 0$aComposers 676 $a780.924 700 $aChristians$b Ian$01260575 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910149755603321 996 $aDiscovering Classical Music$92921490 997 $aUNINA LEADER 05056nam 2200493 450 001 9910647294903321 005 20231110231724.0 010 $a9781000802566$b(electronic bk.) 010 $z9781032393513 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC7121576 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL7121576 035 $a(CKB)25199387900041 035 $a(NjHacI)9925199387900041 035 $a(EXLCZ)9925199387900041 100 $a20230308d2023 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcnu|||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 00$aDrylands facing change $einterventions, investments and identities /$fedited by Angela Kronenburg Garci?a [and four others] 210 1$aLondon ;$aNew York, New York :$cRoutledge,$d[2023] 210 4$dİ2023 215 $a1 online resource (283 pages) 225 1 $aEarthscan Studies in Natural Resource Management 311 08$aPrint version: Garcia, Angela Kronenburg Drylands Facing Change Milton : Taylor & Francis Group,c2022 9781032393513 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references and index. 327 $aCover -- Half Title -- Series Page -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Table of Contents -- Editors and contributors -- Acknowledgements -- 1 Drylands, frontiers, and the politics of change -- PART I: Climate, environment, and narratives -- 2.

Changes is drylands is happening in an overwhelming manner. Climate change, growing political instability, and increasing enclosures of large expanses of often common land are some of the changes with far-reaching consequences for those who make their living in the drylands. At the same time, powerful narratives about the drylands as 'wastelands' and their 'backward' inhabitants continue to hold sway, legitimizing interventions for development, security and conservation informing re-emerging frontiers of investment (for agriculture, extraction, infrastructure), and shaping new dryland identities. The chapters in this volume discuss the politics of change triggered by forces as diverse as the global land and resource rush, the expansion of new Information and Communication Technologies, urbanization, the COVID-19 pandemic, and the spread of violent extremism. While recognizing that changes are co-produced by differently positioned actors from within and outside the drylands, this volume presents the dryland's point of view. It therefore takes the views, experiences, and agencies of dryland dwellers as the point of departure to not only understand the changes that are transforming their lives, livelihoods, and future aspirations, but also to highlight the unexpected spaces of contestation and innovation that have hitherto remained understudied. This edited volume will be of much interest to students, researchers and scholars of natural resource management, land and resource grabbing, political ecology, sustainable development and drylands in general"--$cProvided by publisher. 410 0$aEarthscan Studies in Natural Resource Management 606 $aArid regions 606 $aArid regions agriculture 606 $aDry farming 615 0$aArid regions. 615 0$aArid regions agriculture. 615 0$aDry farming. 676 $a333.73 702 $aGarci?a$b Angela Kronenburg 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 912 $a9910647294903321 996 $aDrylands facing change$93058144 997 $aUNINA
