Globalization and worldwide communications have overridden national boundaries. In many markets, the effect of global financial interdependence (governmental, political, and business) is now so interconnected that they must be considered with almost any decision being made.

Book Description
Gallium Nitride and its alloys with InN and AlN, have recently emerged as important semiconductor materials with application to yellow, green, blue and ultraviolet portions of the spectrum as emitters, detectors and high temperature electronics. LEDs based on wide badgap GaN nitrides exhibit excellent longevity and brightness levels. Combined with red LEDs one can, for the first time, have full colour semiconductor displays.
The 4 day symposium was presented at the combined 1997 International Conference on Applied Materials/European Materials Research Society Spring meeting (ICAM'97/E-MRS'97) held in Strasbourg (France) from 16-20 June 1997, provided a forum for active nitride researchers covering the most recent developments in all areas of nitride semiconductors. Sessions focused on the aspects of epitaxial and bulk growth of GaN and its alloys, on optical properties and structural and electrical characterisation, quantum phenomena and light-emitting devices such as LEDs and laser diodes.
Book Description
When it was originally published in 1991, Feminine Endings was immediately controversial for its unprecedented intermingling of cultural criticism and musical studies, an approach that came to be called "the New Musicology." Through case studies of works ranging from the canonical-operas by Monteverdi and Bizet-to the contemporary-the performance art of Diamanda Galás and popular songs by Madonna-Susan McClary focuses on the ways music produces images of gender, desire, pleasure, and the body, and explores the gender-based metaphors that circulate in discourse about music. The now classic work features a new introduction that discusses the critical reception it received and the debates it has inspired.
"A major book . . . [McClary's] achievement borders on the miraculous." Village Voice
"McClary writes with a racy, vigorous, and consistently entertaining style. . . . What she has to say specifically about the music and the text is sharp, accurate, and telling; she hears what takes place musically with unusual sensitivity." New York Review of Books
Susan McClary, professor of musicology at the University of California, Los Angeles, specializes in the cultural criticism of music, both the European canon and contemporary popular genres. Her most recent book is Conventional Wisdom: The Content of Musical Form (2000).
Customer Reviews:
A Joy.......2005-07-18
Though I often wished she would pause more on her musical excerpts, this book is very wise, and anyone interested in understanding meaning in music intellectually must read this book.
Read Conventional Wisdom.......2002-11-13
This book changed me from a Stravinsky-like "music has no meaning" stance. I still don't think that music is sad or happy or like a day in the country, things are more complicated than that, but I no longer feel that music is an empty if beautiful vessel. Instead music, like all actions (and non-actions), is political. I only give it a four because I would recommend her next book far more.
ENLIGHTENING BOOK.......2001-08-27
I assigned this book to my WOMEN AND MUSIC class when I taught at the University of Tennessee. It opened their eyes and ears. They have an entirely new and valuable perspective. A must read for any musician! Dr. Benjamin Boone, California State University Fresno
because it IS awful.......2001-02-14
It's a very strange thing when "extremely harsh criticism" is cited as evidence of value. Is it just possibly that this book was harshly criticized because it deserves to be, because it is a very sorry excuse for a work of musical--and, for that matter, sociological--scholarship? I think it IS possible. I think it is more than possible; I think it is quite likely. It is "readable" for non-musicians not in spite of its "scholarly content", but only in that it lacks "scholarly content"; it is not particularly well written. Obviously, it has its partisan proponents--the sort of people who don't like having to think subtly or deeply but who still want to be taken seriously, the sort of pseudo-intellectual people who want to have it both ways--, but this is no recommendation.
Controversial Milestone.......2000-08-01
In Feminine Endings, Susan McClary went "outside the box," critically examining a lot of the unquestioned conventions of traditional musicology. This was a groundbreaking book, attempting to talk about "the semiotics of desire" and how composers/performers construct meaning through the creation and manipulation of musical pleasure. McClary received extremely harsh criticism for her rethinking of "classical" composers and musicology, the vehemence of which was, at times, shocking. This in itself indicated that Feminine Endings had touched a sensitive nerve (McClary herself characterizes her inquiry as one of Bluebeard's wives daring to open the forbidden door). While the musicology establishment mostly viewed McClary as a misguided heretic, many other scholars and critics found Feminine Endings brilliant, liberating, and a breath of fresh air (I'd vote for all three). While criticism of this book, published in 1991, still hasn't stopped, McClary indeed opened a door with Feminine Endings, providing a critical space for a variety of subsequent music criticism, including even traditional musicology, which found Feminine Endings too important to ignore. This book is aimed at a scholarly readership, though undergrad students (music majors and non-majors alike) can also get a lot out of these essays, which are very readable considering the scholarly content.
Customer Reviews:
Great book!.......2004-10-06
Susan has done wonderful in writing this book. I highly recommend this book for purchase. Also, I would like to also recommend Racism@Work Among the LORD's People by Robert Upton for your consideration.

Book Description
In this elegant and provocative book, Philippa Berry draws on feminist theory, postmodern thought and queer theory, to challenge existing critical notions of what is 'fundamental' to Shakespearean tragedy. She shows how, through a network of images clustered around feminine or feminized characters, these plays 'disfigure' conventional ideas of death as a bodily end, as their figures of women are interwoven with provocative meditations upon matter, time, the soul, and the body. The scope of these tragic speculations was radical in Shakespeare's day; yet they also have a surprising relevance to contemporary debates about time and matter in science and philosophy. _
