E-book Music and Spirituality : Theological Approaches, Empirical Methods, an…

The composer Sir James MacMillan has called music ‘the most spiritual of the arts’, and for many people, both religious and non-religious alike, this rings true.1 But what do people mean by ‘music’ and ‘spiritual’ in this context, and what is the nature of their perceived relationship? Do certain kinds of music more readily afford spiritual experiences than others? What …

E-book The Merger Mystery : Why Spend Ever More on Mergers When So Many Fail?

In our college days, the economics tradition was pretty confident about the outcome to be expected from merger and acquisition.

The apparent continued increase until the mid1990s was du…

E-book Tales of the five towns

It was an amiable but deceitful afternoon in the third week of December. Snow fell heavily in the windows of confectioners' shops, and Father Christmas smiled in Keats's Bazaar the fawning smile of a myth who knows himself to be exploded; but beyond these and similar efforts to remedy the forgetfulness of a careless climate, there was no sign anywhere in the Five Towns, and especially in Bu…
