Book Description

Having survived Jehal's betrayal, former Queen Zafir is determined to take back control of the kingdom. To that end, she seizes Jehal's wife and son as hostages. Desperate to save his queen and his heir, Jehal makes a tentative peace with the dragons of the north, and prepares to fly against his enemies. But as politics throw the realms of men into turmoil, a far greater danger threatens. The dragons are awakening from the spells cast upon them, and returning to their native fury. They are out for revenge. And that revenge will be brutal.

Book Description

Written in the latter part of the 19th century, this volume remains one of the most useful books of scales and arpeggios. Palmer's fine edition discusses the construction of scales from tetrachords and the Circle of Fifths as preparatory material to a presentation of all the major and minor scales and their cadences. The chromatic scale and suggestions for practicing scales in varied rhythms conclude the work.

Book Description

The Cellist’s Guide to Scales and Arpeggios is intended for cellists of all ages, experience, and ability levels, including teachers, students, amateurs, and professionals. This book offers a thorough, sequential syllabus of cello scales and arpeggios. The authors start with the most basic one-octave scales and work through a variety of systems, including some of the most complex scales a cellist might ever encounter. There are virtually no other publications that provide a complete and sequential guide for cellists. Along with the printed and electronic versions of the book, this 140-page sourcebook includes a unique assortment of drones to help with intonation. In addition, there are 41 instructional videos accessible through QR codes. These demonstrate various cello techniques, including ways to tune, extensions, shifting, coordination exercises, velocity studies, and much more. It’s almost like having two university-level cello teachers with you in your practice room, showing you how to achieve a beautiful tone and precise intonation through scales and arpeggios.

Book Description

The purpose of this book is to present methods for developing, evaluating and maintaining rater-mediated assessment systems. Rater-mediated assessments involve ratings that are assigned by raters to persons responding to constructed-response items (e.g., written essays and teacher portfolios) and other types of performance assessments. This book addresses the following topics: (1) introduction to the principles of invariant measurement, (2) application of the principles of invariant measurement to rater-mediated assessments, (3) description of the lens model for rater judgments, (4) integration of principles of invariant measurement with the lens model of cognitive processes of raters, (5) illustration of substantive and psychometric issues related to rater-mediated assessments in terms of validity, reliability, and fairness, and (6) discussion of theoretical and practical issues related to rater-mediated assessment systems. Invariant measurement is fast becoming the dominant paradigm for assessment systems around the world, and this book provides an invaluable resource for graduate students, measurement practitioners, substantive theorists in the human sciences, and other individuals interested in invariant measurement when judgments are obtained with rating scales.
