This account of an ethnomusicologist's experience conducting fieldwork offers a glimpse into the life of New Zealand's Maori people through his documentation of traditional songs. The audio recordings included span 1958 through 1979, a time when many of the culture's traditions were fading. Sensitive writing and attention to the challenges of anthropological fieldwork shed light on postcolonialism in New Zealand and its effects on Maori and Polynesian cultures and the continuance of traditional music.

This hands-on manual offers a clear introduction to play and drama work for professionals working with adults at risk. Many adults feel nervous about drama and think that play is childish. Sue Jennings shows that by participating in play and drama people can make a difference to how they feel about themselves and the world around them. This book is suitable for professionals working with adults who are vulnerable for a number of different reasons: those who have addictions such as eating disorders, drug and alcohol abuse or a history of violent relationships; adults with mental ill health; individuals and families with behavioural difficulties; people in forensic settings; those with multiple disabilities; learning impaired adults; people with strokes and other physical impairment often as a result of accidental injury. Material is chosen sensitively to enable confidence and creativity building, and the development of communication skills. Photocopiable worksheets offer the professional activities that will encourage trust and collaboration; foster independence and choice, maximise people's learning potential and stimulate everyone's imagination and creativity. Ideas are given for improvisation and movement as well as masks and myths. Cross-cultural perspectives are discussed together with boundaries for clinical groups. The importance of the healing potential of artistic expression is addressed throughout.

Dr VENKATESHWARA IYER is an Artificial Intelligence expert, whose career is marred by a controversial failure. Together with his friends and Colleagues, Dr ANNA AINSWORTH and SHEN JIAMO, he creates ‘ISAAC’, an A.I with the naivety of an infant and near-free will of a man, that can learn and adapt with time. But how human should, and will, a machine become? Human enough to murder? Is ANUJ JOHNSON right to dread Isaac? Or is he just biased against robots for losing his job to them? Will Venkatesh’s work prove to be a breakthrough for the humankind, or just a repeat of his lethal mistakes? Innocents will become collateral when the two ideologies collide, and a nation will bear witness as an honoured scientist is dragged to court. In the future when A.I will intertwine with our lives, when men will fall and lose their humanity, will Isaac be able to prove his own?
