Arts With the Brain in Mind

Book Description

How do the arts stack up as a major discipline? What is their effect on the brain, learning, and human development? How might schools best implement and assess an arts program?? Eric Jensen answers these questions C and more C in this book. To push for higher standards of learning, many policymakers are eliminating arts programs. To Jensen, that's a mistake.

This book presents the definitive case, based on what we know about the brain and learning, for making arts a core part of the basic curriculum and thoughtfully integrating them into every subject. Separate chapters address musical, visual, and kinesthetic arts in ways that reveal their influence on learning.

What are the effects of a fully implemented arts program? The evidence points to the following:

$ Fewer dropouts $ Higher attendance $ Better team players $ An increased love of learning $ Greater student dignity $ Enhanced creativity $ A more prepared citizen for the workplace of tomorrow $ Greater cultural awareness as a bonus

To Jensen, it's not a matter of choosing, say, the musical arts over the kinesthetic. Rather, ask what kind of art makes sense for what purposes. How much time per day? What kind of music? Should the arts be required? How do we assess arts programs? In answering these real-world questions, Jensen provides dozens of practical, detailed suggestions for incorporating the arts into every classroom.

Educational.......2007-03-07

Well, there was some things in there that were informative, the reading was clear. A bit boring and some what common sense stuff. I guess when I was reading it I felt like I was reading stuff I already knew, yet I never read about before. I don't know... you be the judge.

If Think the Arts don't matter in school? You better think again!.......2006-05-28

If you think the Arts don't matter anymore, I'm here to tell you to THINK again.

As a second grade teacher I find Jensen's work a must-read for every parent and educator. The Arts really do play an important part in education; whether the Arts fall under musical, visual, or in kinesthetic. The Arts will enhances the neurobiological system (Jensen, 2001, p. 116) or the brain, increasing a healthy responsive learning environment to other disciplines/subjects that are outside of the Arts.

Jenson discussed in-depth how each of the three Arts are important and why they should be part of every school's curriculum.

Simply a great book!

A leading path.......2005-10-23

With a sometimes harsh style sometimes subjective, Mr. Jensen provides us with a leading path to make a coherent relation between the brain an it's development and the education in arts. Not very detailed with the ideas and paradigms but effective to motivate our curiosity in the field. With the arts education in the middle of a crucial crisis in the U.S., the "new idea" (for the positivist people) of a direct effect of the arts education in the development of high cognitive skills, provide a solid fundamental for the importance of this matter. At least, is a very serious proposal, well supported by researchers in the field.

Music with the Brain in Mind.......2007-01-10

This is an easily accessible book. It is written in a way that educates without being too academic. Along with scientific explanations of brain functions integrated with the effects of music are practical applications of various exercises. This book is a helpful addition to my professional library of early childhood education.

A Must-Read for Fine Arts Educators!.......2001-08-26

Jenson has updated much information in this quickly-read book. Anyone unfamiliar with his works will find this helpful; veterans of the topic will find new, useful "ammunition." Especially refreshing is the unbiased approach to the Mozart effect studies; a convincing view to show administrators because of its balanced presentation.

Making a case for music.......2001-04-02

Jensen continues to survey and summarise research studies on the impact of music and applies his gift in making them accessible to educators. He points out the common fallacy of considering music as a "right-brained" activity. Music affects many different parts of the brain. Only timbre activated the right hemisphere. Music enhances cognition, emotional intelligence, boosts peformance, heightens motivation. Reading, perception, motor skills, hearing, behavior and muscle strength are all influenced by music. Music also affects the immune system, stress, relaxation, blood flow and memory systems. You get wider coverage than Ch. 17 of the author's "Brained-based Learning". You get many different recommendations for choosing appropriate musical pieces. Overall, this is a valuable challenge and resource for educators. One regret is that, compared to the cheaper and most informative "Owner's Manual for the Brain" (P. J. Howard, 831pp.), I'm puzzled why this slim book should be so costly.

Music makes you smarter.......2000-09-27

Music with the Brain in Mind is a short book full of great information. Each idea is well documented with research. Many ideas are given for use of music and brain research at school, in the studio, and at home. This book makes me want to read more by Eric Jensen.

Book Description

Spectacular advances during the last decade have altered the related disciplines of computing and telecommunications beyond all recognition. The developments in the"enabling technologies,"which have made these advances possible, have been less obvious to the casual observer. The subject of this book is one of these technologies--the coding of still images and picture sequences (video).
Digital Compression of Still Images and Video is general in approach and covers all the recognized coding algorithms; explaining their basic theory in enough detail that the reader will understand the principles involved. Results which have been achieved with coding algorithms by researchers in all parts of the world are also discussed. A brief historical review of the area is included to orient those new to the field, and the work is supported by references spanning the period from the earliest work on time/frequency analysis, to the latest topic of research interest--image sequence transmission using asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) techniques.
This book will make an excellent reference for graduates and researchers working on image coding and transmission, and will also be of use to those in the related areas of computer vision and multimedia developments. It is essential reading for the rapidly increasing number of technical and professional staff in the industrial environment who, maybe for the first time, are coming to grips with image coding.

Key Features
* Provides complete and up-to-date coverage of all digital image and video coding (compression) techniques
* Includes more than 850 references covering relevant work from the 1940s to the present
* Presents information on new directions in coding
* Contains details on current coding standards
* Describes and explains all algorithms in use for image coding

Importance and implications of 'ordinary language'.......1999-02-27

Insightful and comprehensive, Shotter outlines the importance and implications of self-other interaction on perception formation. The 'ordinary language' one chooses to express mental representations reflects one's dependence upon socially-derived tools for thought and expression. Similar to Certeau, Shotter discusses how an individual is presented with few alternatives to living through and therefore maintaining the 'traditions' (ordinary language) that guide our understanding. Shotter draws from the works of Austin, Bakhtin (how one's populating words with meaning makes subjective interpretation of what is 'reality' unavoidable), Vico, Wittgenstein (the fragmentary nature of understanding), Rorty (the self-other processes that guide perception formation and one's tendency to categorize based on 'solidarity'), among many others. Shotter makes the distinction between 'knowing that' and 'knowing how' and introduces a knowing of a third kind that has meaning only in relation to others. This book breaks down an otherwise difficult study of hermeneutics and human perception into clear and concise arguments, making such difficult concepts accessible to the average curiousity. Furthermore, its broad scope serves as a good foundation for the beginning scholar, welcoming the reader to a new and exciting dimension of knowledge.

Book Description

How and why did NATO, a Cold War military alliance created in 1949 to counter Stalin's USSR, become the cornerstone of new security order for post-Cold War Europe? Why, instead of retreating from Europe after communism's collapse, did the U.S. launch the greatest expansion of the American commitment to the old continent in decades? Written by a high-level insider, Opening NATO's Door provides a definitive account of the ideas, politics, and diplomacy that went into the historic decision to expand NATO to Central and Eastern Europe. Drawing on the still-classified archives of the U.S. Department of State, Ronald D. Asmus recounts how and why American policymakers, against formidable odds at home and abroad, expanded NATO as part of a broader strategy to overcome Europe's Cold War divide and to modernize the Alliance for a new era.

Asmus was one of the earliest advocates and intellectual architects of NATO enlargement to Central and Eastern Europe after the collapse of communism in the early 1990s and subsequently served as a top aide to Secretary of State Madeleine Albright and Deputy Secretary Strobe Talbott, responsible for European security issues. He was involved in the key negotiations that led to NATO's decision to extend invitations to Poland, Hungary, and the Czech Republic, the signing of the NATO-Russia Founding Act, and finally, the U.S. Senate's ratification of enlargement.

Asmus documents how the Clinton Administration sought to develop a rationale for a new NATO that would bind the U.S. and Europe together as closely in the post-Cold War era as they had been during the fight against communism. For the Clinton Administration, NATO enlargement became the centerpiece of a broader agenda to modernize the U.S.-European strategic partnership for the future. That strategy reflected an American commitment to the spread of democracy and Western values, the importance attached to modernizing Washington's key alliances for an increasingly globalized world, and the fact that the Clinton Administration looked to Europe as America's natural partner in addressing the challenges of the twenty-first century.

As the Alliance weighs its the future following the September 11 terrorist attacks on the U.S. and prepares for a second round of enlargement, this book is required reading about the first post-Cold War effort to modernize NATO for a new era.

Book Description

America is at a strategic crossroads. As the worldÂ's lone superpower, we face savage hostility, at home and abroad, from critics furious over our power and successÂ—and their own failure. Should we retreat from the struggle for human freedom to please religious extremists, decayed European powers, and an irresponsible global media?

Absolutely not, according to Ralph Peters, a strategist with an unrivaled record of predicting future threats. AmericaÂ's heroic past should make us proud, but we should embrace the possibility of an even greater future. New glory will augment the old in the years aheadÂ—if our leaders make the right decisions today.

In this sweeping, eye-opening book, Peters delivers an insiderÂ's critique of our intelligence system and our overstretched military before describing an innovative strategy befitting the greatest (and most virtuous) power in history. BACKCOVER: Â“Peters has produced a dynamic, intellectually challenging, must-read bookÂ…It needs to be in the hands of all policy-makersÂ—and all those who vote for them.Â”
Â—The New York Post

Â“Peters is an astute and historically informed observer of the worldÂ's cultures and politics, so the vision he offers in New Glory manages to be not just inspiring but also highly realistic.Â”
Â—The National Review

Â“For all its thunder and lightning, New Glory is a work of optimism, written by an author steeped in historyÂ—and theology and geopolitics and even fine art. Academics will dismiss this book. Then Again, Peters has little use for academics, and says so.Â”
Â—The St. Louis Post-Dispatch

A must read!.......2007-01-10

This book is amazing! Awesome (and I hate the overuse of that word)!
A coherent, cogent, realistic look at the status of the US in the world and a proposed strategy that would work.

Prophetic.......2006-06-10

I find the breathe of his knowledge and his ability to weave current Middle Eastern events into the context of history to be astonishing. One of the best books I've ever read.

DECENT AND INTERESTING SECURITY ASSESSMENT.......2006-04-15

Ralph Peters must have thought he was back at the Command and Staff School at Fort Leavenworth when he came up the idea to write this book. New Glory: Expanding America's Global Supremacy is an excellent example of the type of paper that most majors at Leavenworth are required to write to demonstrate the ability to conduct a strategic assessment, develop strategies and policies to address the strategic reality, and identify the type and scope of military resources required to implement those strategies and policies.

What makes this book better than the 1000 or so papers on the exact same subject generated at the various war colleges or military schools is both Ralph Peters flowery and distinct writing style and the radical positions that he advocates both for his assessment of the nature of reality and his recommended strategies. Indeed, while no one ever "flunks out" at a military graduate program, any student as radical as Mr. Peters would have a tough road arguing his positions against the "standard" school assessment.

Yet, Mr. Peters gets more right than wrong in this analysis of the world security situation. If anything, his radical assessment of Europe is, in this reviewer's opinion, a bit conservative. Europe is headed for a demographic crises combined with a complete inability to assimilate its immigrant population from the Middle East. For far too long, being European has been defined as a state of being rather than a collection of actions and beliefs. Peters idea that AIDS might have a modernizing effect on Africa similar to what the Black Death had on Europe is interesting and seems plausible.

Some of Mr Peters positions are a bit less defensible. His assault on Think Tanks and former politicians is based on his experience and observations, but Mr Peters misses the point. In our society, the way to deal with factions and interest groups has always been to develop competing factions and interest groups to slug out the war of ideas in the public arena. If RAND has developed an unhealthy symbiotic relationship with the DOD (as Mr. Peters argues), then one need look no further than the Marine Corps relationship with the Potomac Institute's Center for Emerging Threats and Opportunities (CETO) to see a more effective effort at developing new ideas from a Think Tank. It seems a safe bet that either as personalities and relationships change, some think tanks will become more or less effective over time and the dollars will chase the institutions that have the best ideas.

Mr Peters attacks on "...chubby, ex politicians that only know about war from books..." is a bit misplaced. War is ever changing with the only constant being human nature, therefore even the most experienced warrior will, from time to time, face new scenarios and new requirements that will require academic study and thought. However, he is spot on that civilian leadership needs to be more open to debate, dialogue, and discovery from the uniformed members - especially those that have special combat or intellectual qualifications.

Overall, this is an excellent book and I highly recommend it.

A powerful vision of American power in the 21st Century.......2006-03-14

During the 1990s there was much talk of "the end of history" which really meant the end of armed conflict. Ralph Peters, a retired Army officer and articulate writer, debunks that notion in this incisive book. As Peters explains, "clashing is what civilizations *do*..." Peters explains that other civilizations, at present the Islamo-fascist being the best example, are humiliated and antagonized by the very existence, pervasiveness, humanity, and success of modern American-Western civilization. Elements of other civilizations (as opposed to their often powerless citizens) are often implacably antagonistic towards the West, primarily its leader, America. This will mean that the 21st Century will have no shortage of conflict, some of it armed conflict. The alternative is simply defeat.

Peters is no Republican apparachnik. He thoroughly condemns elements within the Bush Pentagon for pushing expensive and unused weapons systems such as the F22 Raptor while our soldiers in Iraq are waiting for next-generation body armor and armored vehicles. Peters' real message, as I interpreted it at least, is that armed conflict will be a defining characteristic of the 21st Century, and armed conflict means casualties and sacrifice. The notion of bloodless "technological" war, pushed mainly by reporters and others who never served in the military and know little about war or armies, comes in for ridicule.

This is a persuasive, well-written, even beautifully written piece that will not fail to engage the reader. Some of my own sacred cows came in for a thrashing by Peters, and he left me thinking and in some cases, yes, doubting. I predict that this will be the reaction of most readers and all thoughtful ones. It is no exaggeration to say that all Americans and indeed all citizens of Western nations would benefit by reading Peters' book. Whether the reader agrees with everything Peters has to say or not, Peters has a well-thought-out point of view based on a vast study of empirical data (facts). Peters may very well change minds with this one. A book that can do that is worth reading. Highly recommended.

Must Read for Every American.......2006-03-09

Tom Peter's book is a Must Read for every American, and it is especially useful for analyzing the war on terror and the future world we are moving into. Unlike other reviewers I think Mr. Peters is critical of the USA, and the way the war has been handled thus far. He makes no bones about saying Mr. Rumsfield doesn't know what he is doing and that the President (Bush) has made errors in the invasion of Iraq.

Mr. Peter's has the ability, and it is unique, to summarize a thousand years of history into one pithy paragraph. His historical observations are accurate, and his summaries of how the west and the east have evolved to their present positions are worth the price of the book all by themselves. I am not saying all his observations are absolutely correct; however, they are direct, easy to understand and the vast majority of them are accurate.

Mr. Peters believes the USA is missing huge opportunities to expand democracy in India, Africa, and South America. He sees trends there that will favor more open and modern societies that America should take advantage of; however, he believes we are failing to do this and that we will pay a large price for focusing on Europe and old European ideas of nationhood rather than focusing on the new emerging ideas of democracy and more open and modern societies that are developing around the world. He has nothing but disdain for our diplomacy, and, if he is correct in his factual statements about how our diplomats are acting, his conclusions are correct and we are in trouble.

The most important reason to buy the book and READ it is to stimulate thinking about the world and how America can play a positive roll beyond the wars in the Middle East and the old thinking of Europe. America can be a positive force in the world whether or not we "win" the war in Iraq. This books tell us how to do that in very clear and concise terms.
