Dancing to Learn: Cognition; Emotion; and Movement explores the rationale for dance as a medium of learning to help engage educators and scientists to explore the underpinnings of dance; and dancers as well as members of the general public who are curious about new ways of comprehending dance. Among policy-makers; teachers; and parents; there is a heightened concern for successful pedagogical strategies. They want to know what can work with learners. This book approaches the subject of learning in; about; and through dance by triangulating knowledge from the arts and humanities; social and behavioral sciences; and cognitive and neurological sciences to challenge dismissive views of the cognitive importance of the physical dance. Insights come from theories and research findings in aesthetics; anthropology; cognitive science; dance; education; feminist theory; linguistics; neuroscience; phenomenology; psychology; and sociology. Using a single theory puts blinders on to other ways of description and analysis. Of course; all knowledge is tentative. Experiments necessarily must focus on a narrow topic and often use a special demographicmdash;university students; and we donrsquo;t know the representativeness of case studies.

In 1993 I enjoyed seeing Robert Downey Jr.s excellent performance as Chaplin in a movie about Chaplins life. Also appearing in the film was Geraldine Chaplin; fourth of the eight Chaplin children. She spoke highly of this book about her father and that adds credence; in my view; to it being an accurate biography. Highly recommended for Charlie fans.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. An examination of what made Chaplin tick; and successful.By Lewis T. FitchA close examination of the myriad influences that formed the most beloved comic character of his time. The examination of Chaplins life from the standpoint of a psychiatrist yields insight into some of the nuances of the performers art. He examines the reasons for Chaplins skills; as well as the reasons that they resonated so closely with the audiences of his day. Although there is a lot of information in this book; the author keeps it interesting and relevant to the end result that was Chaplins art.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Enjoyable Well Written BookBy Joe CorsoI enjoy biographies and Stephen Weissman wrote a well researched well written enjoyable biography about the great Charlie Chaplin. After reading this book I felt as if I missed something in life at not ever having met Charlie Chaplin. If like me you like biographies; youll enjoy Weissmans book about the life of the little tramp.http://www..com/Lafittes-Treasure-Unlimited-Historical-Adventure-ebook/dp/B00LP49BLE/ref=sr_1_1?s=digital-textie=UTF8qid=1446579846sr=1-1keywords=Lafitte%27s+Treasure
