Hearing Luxe Pop: Glorification, Glamour, and the Middlebrow in American Popular Music By John Howland
2021 | 394 Pages | ISBN: 0520300106 | PDF | 12 MB
Hearing Luxe Pop explores a deluxe-production aesthetic thathas long thrived in American popular music, in which popular-music idioms are merged with lush string orchestrations and big-band instrumentation. John Howland presents an alternative music history that centers on shifts in timbre and sound through innovative uses of orchestration and arranging, traveling from symphonic jazz to the Great American Songbook, the teenage symphonies of Motown to the "countrypolitan" sound of Nashville, the sunshine pop of the Beach Boys to the blending of soul and funk into 1970s disco, and Jay-Z's hip-hop-orchestra events to indie rock bands performing with the Brooklyn Philharmonic. This book attunes readers to hear the discourses gathered around the music and its associated images as it examines pop's relations to aspirational consumer culture, theatricality, sophistication, cosmopolitanism, and glamorous lifestyles.

Handbook of International Climate Finance

Handbook of International Climate Finance
Axel Michaelowa, "Handbook of International Climate Finance"
English | ISBN: 1784715646 | 2022 | 502 pages | PDF | 6 MB
The concept of international climate finance channelled from developed to developing countries through public interventions for mitigation and adaptation has been developed over the last decade, but its roots date back to the early 1990s. Despite the high relevance of the topic in the international climate negotiations, illustrated by the (missed) target to mobilise USD 100 billion by 2020, there is no book that provides an overview accessible to academics and practitioners alike.

Hairy Hippies and Bloody Butchers The Greenpeace Anti-Whaling Campaign in Norway

Hairy Hippies and Bloody Butchers The Greenpeace Anti-Whaling Campaign in Norway
Juliane Riese, "Hairy Hippies and Bloody Butchers: The Greenpeace Anti-Whaling Campaign in Norway"
English | 2017 | ISBN: 1785335286 | PDF | pages: 203 | 1.4 mb
In the popular imagination, no issue has been more closely linked with the environmental group Greenpeace than whaling. Opposition to commercial whaling has inspired many of the organization's most dramatic and high-profile "direct actions"―as well as some of its most notable failures. This book provides an inside look at one such instance: Greenpeace's decades-long campaign against the Norwegian whaling industry. Combining historical narrative with systems-theory analysis, author Juliane Riese shows how the organization's self-presentation as a David pitted against whale-butchering Goliaths was turned on its head. She recounts how opponents successfully discredited the campaign while Greenpeace struggled with internal disagreements and other organizational challenges, providing valuable lessons for other protest movements.
