Best Selling Books by Peter BAKER

Working from a broad knowledge of modern poetry, Baker proposes an original interpretation of the long poem based on the notion of exteriority. Readers of the 20th-century long poem must discard the traditional idea of a lyric speaker, or Romantic I, he argues. Modern and postmodern poetry turns outward, toward the experience of others, and deliberately de-emphasizes an inner or personal life.

She''s trained with him. She''s hunted with him. She''s killed with him. Now he''s missing. After the loss of her mother years ago, he is all she has left, and she will do whatever she can to find him. They had made a pact, a rule never to be broken: If we don''t hear anything after three days, we investigate. Three days passed. Now Bethany must take all her years of training, all the skills she developed, and leave the place she''s called home her whole life. What begins as a simple search and rescue soon turns into a violent meandering through the darkest recesses of the Pacific Northwest underworld as Bethany pieces together cryptic clues from her father''s journal. Far from everything and everyone she knows and loves, Bethany must navigate this realm of secrets and peril-and for the first time, she must do it alone. Every step brings her closer to the truth but closer to danger. This is the way of things when infernal cults and hellish fiends are involved. Vampires are not forgiving. Rain City Gothic is a story of devotion, betrayal, and redemption. It is a story of the human spirit and the lengths we will go to save the ones we love.

Written by a team of academic experts, many with military experience, the book contains scenarios and case studies, including the Gulf War, the Falklands War, ''Ground Zero'' in New York City and more conventional theatres of war through history, as well as cyber - terrorism, the role of military contractors and unmanned weapons systems.

Singing teachers increasingly prioritise a healthy and well-coordinated breathing mechanism, larynx, resonators and articulators for their students. Whilst focused and directed vocal study traditionally commences at a tertiary level, the development of the foundational skills for healthy vocal production happens earlier. This study seeks to reveal misconceptions regarding the teaching of voice to adolescents, particularly through the complicated physical transition out of puberty. The project seeks practical, scientifically sound and pedagogically effective strategies that will release the potential of the singing voice in male adolescents. This thesis will dedicate a significant section to the assessment of voice according to the NCEA Solo Performance assessment standards. The study seeks to identify issues pertaining to the assessment and moderation of vocal assessments in the secondary school under the NCEA curriculum. The project collects and comments on the opinions and experiences of secondary school itinerant voice teachers regarding the assessment and moderation of NCEA Solo Performance assessments in voice. Data will also be collected from current and recently graduated male secondary school students, each of whom completed NCEA Solo Performance assessments. Finally, this thesis, using recent relevant vocal science literature, will articulate a contemporary conceptualisation of the adolescent voice, a free and healthy laryngeal function, and initiate discussion on the NCEA singing assessment practices and criteria in the light of contemporary literature. Keywords: NCEA, NZQA, New Zealand, secondary school, adolescent voice, voice change, vocal health, vocal assessment, male adolescent voice change.
