New Releases by Kevin Moore

AVAILABLE TO PRE-ORDER NOW HEADERS ARE THRILLING. BUT FOOTBALL IS FACING A CONCUSSION CRISIS. IS HEADING WORTH IT? Heading the ball is considered as much a part of football as passing, tackling and shooting. Pelé, Cristiano Ronaldo, Robin Van Persie - all have executed memorable headers. But the impact can cause lasting damage. Heading for Trouble is an essential exposé on this dynamic yet increasingly controversial skill. The human brain is a jelly, floating in a protective fluid, and there is clear scientific evidence that even minor impacts, such as heading, can lead to a neurodegenerative brain disease. Through new research and exclusive interviews with former players and neurological experts, Dr Kevin Moore, consultant researcher and founding director of the National Football Museum, explores the fascinating history of heading in football and the dangerous, frequently tragic consequences it can cause. He highlights the football establishment's inaction and exposes what may be the game's greatest ever scandal. Heading for Trouble brilliantly brings this urgent issue into sharp focus and explores how football and heading can move forward without such tragic cost to its players.

September, 1813 The United States' second war with Great Britain has thus far been disheartening for the young country. The American invasion of Canada from New York has been thoroughly repelled. The U.S. Navy has suffered a string of embarrassing defeats along the Atlantic Seaboard. Entire swaths of the Northwest Territory are now under His Majesty's control. But the Americans are not without hope. Crewman Joshua Nelson is serving his country aboard the USS Niagara, the flagship of Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry. The American fleet has the dangerous yet pivotal opportunity to wrest Lake Erie from British hands and with it the supply line for their troops in the Northwest Territory.

A Shadow Stirs. A Mystery Unfolds. A Force Awakens. Private investigator Damian Knight doesn’t just chase criminals—he follows the whispers of the dead.

As eerie visions, cryptic warnings, and the presence of something far more sinister begin to unravel the world around him, Damian realizes he’s not just solving a case—he’s being hunted by a force beyond comprehension. With the help of an unlikely ally and a ghost who refuses to move on, Damian must navigate a city teetering on the edge of darkness. But some truths are better left undiscovered, and the deeper he digs, the more the darkness calls his name. A gripping supernatural noir thriller, The Kraze blends mystery, horror, and suspense into an unforgettable journey into the unknown.

"...one of horror's rising stars..." -Signal Horizon Harry Potter meets The Exorcist in this supernatural thriller duology about a malevolent ghost, a greedy shapeshifter, a boy with memories he has no right to possess-and the mysterious painting that has the power to change their destinies forever. Dear Jack, It's been another terrifying night. I'm bloody, exhausted, and scarred. But there's nothing more important than writing this letter to you. I don't know how old you'll be when it finds you. I hope you read this pre-fall, pre-Kasper, pre-Mr. Phillips. That would save you-us-a lot of pain. But even if you don't, maybe especially if you don't...hold on, Jack. Fight. They'll tell you Katherine isn't real, and that the kids you had together aren't, either. They'll say the shadow people, demons, and ghosts are figments of your imagination. That you should forget. Don't listen to them, Jack. You're not crazy. And that man you see across the way, in Apartment 3C...he's not a man. Not anymore. If you don't know what I'm talking about yet, you will. I'll tell you a secret: Time isn't linear. You can fold it, dipping into the past, present, and future. You can find your way back to Katherine, I promise. I'll tell you another: you can see and hear dead people. You can help ghosts move on from the in between. Some people call it a gift; the jury's still out on that one. Whatever you want to call it, don't be frightened of it, Jack. Use it. You'll need to, if you want us to survive. Never lose sight or possession of the painting; it is our reason for reason; it holds time, power, and evil in its mystery. Know this: it also holds the secret to neutralizing the darkness. The painting is our ruby slippers! It will always be our portal home. How do I know all this? Because I am you, Jack-an older version, anyway. You are me. And our future...Katherine's future...it all depends on the choice you make. You're the only one who can control the shadows. You're the only one who can defeat him. With love and hope, Yourself "An eerie tone permeates the entire story, with even mundane events feeling off-kilter. The whole cast seems to have multiple personas, all tinged with darkness." -Foreword Clarion Review "At times an intriguing mystery, at others a chilling thriller...Jack's development throughout is an adventurous, if spooky, coming of age story that will thrill and at times scare readers of classic urban fantasy and YA series." -Booklife Reviews

A sequel to this book The Queen’s Return Also by author The Curse Broken Warrior I hope you find the same adventure and fantasy in this book as a reader as I found the adventure in writing it. ~ Kevin Moore

This first-of-its-kind title addresses the failures of an often fragmented healthcare system in managing vulnerable patients with multiple, chronic, co-morbid conditions -- patients who are frequently unresponsive to the methods and approaches used to treat other patients with conditions that are less complicated. The book emphasizes a holistic evaluation to patient care that looks at the whole patient, providing comprehensive formulations that describe the interacting problems that afflict the patient, including elements that are barriers to effective treatment of active medical problems and barriers to recovery. The book begins by defining integrated care, discussing the types of patients who benefit from this approach and some of the models of care, including financing, barriers to acceptance, and advocacy for patients. The second section discusses the structural elements of integrated care, including the building of a team approach, issues of leadership, and role definition, as well as the authors’ experiences in overcoming some of the problems. In the remaining sections, the book discusses major complicating features of the patients seen in integrative care settings, including a description of the kinds of problems, a model for formulation of patient cases, and successful approaches to treatment of these problems. Finally, some of the real-world applications where integrative care provides better outcomes is covered, including in terms of addictions, medically complex patients, and chronic pain patients. Integrative Medicine for Vulnerable Populations - A Clinical Guide to Working with Chronic and Comorbid Medical Disease, Mental Illness, and Addiction is a major contribution to the clinical literature and will be of great interest to health care professionals, administrators, policy stakeholders, and even interested patients and patient advocates.

Our view of football will never be the same again... Written by a world-respected football historian, this football history/gift title reveals the global game's greatest myths and untruths. Football has been completely mythologized and many of the things football fans think they know about football and its history turn out not to be true. We want to believe the myths, and so they become accepted. So much football writing is not properly researched, and so the myths get repeated... again and again and again. Backed up by the highest level of academic research yet written in an accessible, mass-market style, the book will explore the truth behind many accepted myths. For example, did you know: - The Germans took football to Brazil, not the English - Rugby and not football could quite easily have been the world's leading sport - There are gay professional players ....and always have been! - Goalkeepers should not dive for penalties - Football hooliganism did not begin in England - Shirt colours do make a difference - Cambridge and not Sheffield is the home of the oldest football club in the world - Arsenal should not be in the Premier League... they cheated to be there - The Dynamo Kiev team were not executed after beating a German SS team in 1941 - England did not win the World Cup fairly in 1966 ... but not in the way you think! Written by Kevin Moore, the founding director of the National Football Museum (the world's leading football museum), this thoroughly researched and authoritative book will debunk more than 50 of the greatest myths surrounding football.

By turns impassioned and irreverent, The Beatles by Ear is a collection of essays on each Beatles album, song, chord, key change, and songwriting technique. Song fragments like those of the Abbey Road medley and Sgt. Pepper are examined first as individual songs and then as larger suites. The essays focus on fresh musical insights and avoid the backstories and anecdotes about each song (the "standard talking points") that are common knowledge among even the most casual Beatles fans. The Beatles by Ear is written for musically inclined readers who-like the Beatles-have never learned to read or write music, but can play a few chords and are drawn to understand the creative processes behind the popular song. A central premise of the book is that the Beatles' lack of formal training helped rather than hindered the expression of their natural talent. Whenever possible, theoretical terms and concepts are limited to those used by the Beatles themselves in the interview quotations sprinkled liberally throughout the book. The reader is expected to know two things: the names of the 12 notes (shown in the book with letter names) how to play simple chords in the key of C on keyboard or guitar For those who don't know the names of notes and chords, a series of detailed tutorials is included in one of the appendices. Hundreds of page number references enable the book to be read from cover to cover, or used as a reference book for isolated studies of individual songs or composing techniques. In addition to the main chronological survey of albums and singles, there are separate sections for: each chord the Beatles used each key change vocal harmonies melodic basslines riffs the five rhythm tricks the Beatles used to manipulate the forms of their songs Beatles resources (a survey of the best books, films, podcasts, websites, and YouTube channels used by the author in the process of researching the book) The Beatles canon is contextualized against a backdrop of: predecessors: classical music, jazz, blues, rock 'n' roll and R&B contemporaries: Brian Wilson, Bob Dylan, Holland-Dozier-Holland, Burt Bacharach, Carole King, and the Motown and Stax house bands.

In this book, I talk to my kids about life and share with them the things I've learned in 46 years. I talk about topics such as success, failure, sex, relationships, etc...

Perhaps you’ve heard that Alvin Plantinga resolved the logical problem of evil decades ago and that even most atheists agree. But, what if you aren’t most folks? What if you find yourself in that minority of folks who still worry about the compatibility of God and evil? What if you question Plantinga’s dubious suggestion that God’s desire for moral good is a good enough reason for Him to allow evil (if, as it turned out, He couldn’t get any moral good without allowing at least some evil)? What is the resolve for worries such as these? God, Conceivability, and Evil is about resolving the logical problem of evil for the rest of us. And, importantly, it is about doing so in a way that allows us to avoid BS-ing ourselves and others in the process. The solution that Moore defends to the logical problem of evil, in view of his worries about Plantinga’s Free Will Defense, is philosophically interesting, methodologically intuitive, theologically consistent and apologetically pertinent.

Psychology straddles areas from the biological to the social and cultural. Within that vast range, there have been recent explosions of interest in neuropsychology, genetics and epigenetics, and the evolutionary bases of mindedness. Correspondingly, there have been conceptual innovations and new empirical evidence in relation to the embodied, social and discursive processes supporting mind and personhood. Simultaneously, awareness of developmental processes and their dynamic interweaving of genetic, physiological, neurological, social and cultural elements has also increased. Might such developments help ‘connect the dots’ between diverse aspects of mindedness and the contexts within which it arises? Whilst it seems clear that mind is co-constituted of both biological and socio-cultural processes, how might we bring these disparate realms of knowledge together? In a number of these areas, suggestive integrative possibilities have been explored (e.g., predictive processing, embodied and situated cognition, dynamic developmental systems theory) and insights such as a focus on action, ‘knowledge as skills’, embeddedness and connectivity have been pursued across a range of disciplines. This edited collection of articles bring together such possibilities – and others - in the same forum in order to provide an opportunity to re-visit a recurring discussion within theoretical psychology: The claimed lack of - and potential for - theoretical synthesis and unity. While the chapters range over a number of areas of research, this collection is focused on current prospects for conceptual synthesis within - or convergence of research between - aspects of mind and mindedness. As is clear from the contributions, it highlights integrative conceptual proposals that emphasize action-orientation, process, embeddedness and connectivity – especially between explanatory ‘levels’. Beyond specific proposals for integration, several of the contributions explicitly or implicitly expose broader questions about the purpose of psychological research, the epistemological and ontological commitments required, and the relevant social, political and economic contexts within which such research is performed. This is perhaps inevitable since any aim for synthesis of various understandings of mind will - or should - lead to consideration of the general implications, beyond the ‘science’, that follow from an integrated account of mind and mindedness. Whether or not the contributions in this volume provide insights into profitable paths towards greater theoretical synthesis in the sciences of mind or, alternatively, provide grist for the mill of renewed skepticism over the potential or even desirability of such synthesis is unpredictable. Whichever the outcome, we feel sure that they will help provoke future productive research in, and thinking about, the sciences of mind. Kevin Moore and John Cromby Associate Guest Editors

Fans of short fiction will love Christmas Stories. Each tale in author Kevin Moore's debut collection celebrates the hope, magic, and memories so central to the true meaning of Christmas. Celebrate the season of miracles with this collection of short stories about the lives of ordinary people and the lessons they learn during an extraordinary time of year. You'll meet a young boy who reevaluates his perceptions after he's forced to spend Christmas with his stern grandfather, an attorney who seemingly has everything but really has very little; a burned-out homecoming queen who grows weary of her own excuses for failure; and many other memorable characters. As Moore's protagonists face adversity and sadness, they learn important lessons, gain hope, and experience powerful transformations. The perfect length for reading before bed, on your daily commute, or during a quiet hour, these tales offer you the opportunity to step away from your own life and into a world where it's always Christmas and where-despite the often painful realities of life-there is always a lesson to learn and a reason to celebrate.

One of the most important questions upon which man will ever be forced to wager is this:given our uncertainty about the afterlife, so what? In this book, Moore argues that our uncertainty about the afterlife should matter to us greatly, if we are wise. And in order to complete the failed task that Blaise Pascal initiated, the provision of a sound and valid argument about how to wager on the afterlife under uncertainty, Moore argues for and defends the following new argument. In brief: 1. Foolishness occurs under the following conditions: (a) when one is aware of a severe threat to his or her most relevant interest, (b) when one knows how to minimize the risks to such an interest against such a threat and (c) when, in the face of such a threat-awareness, one flouts his or her risk minimization know-how, opting to hope solely in luck’s favor. 2.The possibility of a just and severely retributive afterlife counts as a real and severe threat to our most relevant interests (and it is the only sort of afterlife possibility that does so). 3. Despite our uncertainty about the afterlife, we know how to minimize our risks against such a threat. 4. Therefore, given both that we are aware of such a severe threat to our most relevant interest and that we know how to minimize our risks to such, whenever we choose not to live in accordance with such know-how we are acting foolishly. After carefully building his case for this conclusion, Moore lays out its implications, responds to many foreseeable objections and, in the final chapter, closes with a fitting and uncommon defense of Christianity as a beautiful and wise hope.

This is the 14th volume of "Beyond Salsa Piano" and the first on Tirso Duarte, pianist, arranger, composer and singer for the great late-1990s incarnation of Charanga Habanera, recording artist and bandleader under his own name, and ex-singer for NG La Banda and Pupy y Los Que Son Son.

This book presents an encyclopedic selection of all the basic rhythm parts used on timbales and drums in Latin music (salsa, timba, Afro-Cuban folkloric rhythms, rumba, danzón, chachachá et al). The central premise is for the student to master each rhythm by singing and tapping before attempting to play it on an instrument, so as to avoid bad habits of technique during the critical period when the rhythm is being memorized and internalized.To accommodate as many learning styles as possible, each rhythm is presented in eight ways: two types of standard notation, two types of graphic or "box" notation, full speed audio, slow motion audio, and two speeds using a special "task-by-task" learning method where the rhythm is learned one stroke at a time against a steady rhythmic accompaniment.Each rhythm is first presented as a single part in its historical context and then in the combinations of two and three parts at once that a percussionist would be expected to play in various group situations.One group of audio files (107 tracks) is available as a free online download, with the link provided in the book. The remainder (the more advanced files) are available as a separate downloadable product.The book will also be useful for those who can already play drums and timbales but need to quickly learn the necessary rhythms for salsa and timba, but for true beginners, our strategy is to learn to sing and tap all of the basic rhythms before taking your first lesson and there's a very important reason for doing it this way: As with golf or tennis lessons, learning to play a musical instrument is about physical movements, dexterity, timing, coordination and body language - the types of things that are easier to demonstrate than to explain and are easier to master when your brain stays calmly out of the way as your body goes through the learning process. If your brain is struggling to learn what to play, it interferes with your body's natural ability to learn how to play. To put it another way, if you're concentrating on mastering the pattern of a new rhythm, you won't be able to give 100% of your effort to tone production, posture, hand position, and feeling the groove, and you're likely to develop "bad habits" that are hard to unlearn later. But if you've already learned to sing, clap and tap the rhythms before you take your first lesson on drums or timbales, you'll be much more likely to succeed, and - just as important - you'll be much more likely to enjoy the process.

Comment expliquer que Jacques Henri Lartigue soit soudain devenu l'une des icônes de la photographie du XXe siècle ? Tordant le cou à une vision instinctive et naïve de sa pratique, Kevin Moore revisite dans cet essai la formation du photographe et le processus qui l'a érigé en mythe. Contrairement à l'image communément admise, Lartigue n'est pas qu'un amateur talentueux qui s'est attelé à saisir le flux du monde moderne et mécanique et à photographier les moments heureux de sa vie. Il est un précurseur majeur, qui est parvenu à excéder son époque, hybridant une certaine forme de culture visuelle (photographie amateur, presse illustrée, cinéma) et la photographie d'art. Kevin Moore lui rend ainsi sa juste place dans l'histoire de la photographie et lève le voile de suspicion qui empêchait jusqu'alors d'achever sa canonisation. L'histoire de Lartigue se laisse conter à l'envi. Fils d'un riche banquier et rejeton de la Belle Époque, il était tant épris d'automobiles et d'avions, de mode et de spectacles, qu'il se mit à photographier jusqu'à l'obsession la vie qui l'entourait. Il photographia d'abord le cercle familial, puis les rallyes en Auvergne, les baigneurs à Deauville et Biarritz, les avions à Issy-les-Moulineaux, les sports d'hiver en Suisse et les courses de voiture à Auteuil. Sans oublier l'incessante parade sociale. Idyllique et enviable, la jeunesse de Lartigue fut une telle suite de bonheurs fabuleux qu'elle en semble presque irréelle. En 1962, Lartigue est en vacances aux Etats-Unis quand il débarque dans les bureaux d'un agent new-yorkais. Agé de soixante-neuf ans, il n'est pas plus connu pour ses photographies que pour ses tableaux, or en juin 1963, plus d'une quarantaine de ses premières images est exposée au MoMA. La même année, quelques-unes paraissent dans le magazine Life. Dix ans plus tard, il est l'un des photographes les plus connus au monde.

Volume 6 of Beyond Salsa Bass begins our 4-volume study of the style of Alain Pérez - the composer of La sandunguita, Salsa timba y amor, and Amigo Juan. Pérez is one of the most talented bassists, composers and arrangers of modern Cuban music. He shared a very unique musical chemistry with Issac Delgado and pianist Melón Lewis, the subject of Volumes 6-9 of Beyond Salsa Piano. The bass series follows the piano series exactly, covering the same songs, now from the perspective of the bassist. In addition to transcribing the notes, we also transcribe the percussive sounds that he uses to create his funky style. Each musical example is provided in 16th note notation, 8th note notion and bass tablature. There are corresponding audio and video products for each volume.

At 368 pages, Beyond Salsa for Ensemble, Vol. 1 is the most ambitious of the 15 volume series. The course is designed for college and high school Latin music ensembles and working salsa bands seeking to add modern Cuban "timba" and "songo" material and techniques to their repertoires.The course begins with the basic salsa groove and then presents two modern Cuban grooves (one in 2-3 clave and one in 3-2 clave), with note-for-note transcriptions for piano, bass, bongó, timbales, congas, and drums - all explained in careful detail in a conversational style.The next part of the book teaches 36 rhythm breaks, or "efectos", that can be added to any Latin arrangement. Again, every stroke of every part is meticulously transcribed, with lead sheets also provided for more experienced players.Finally, the book contains a complete chart for performance of a popular Cuban hit by the popular group Los Que Son Son, led by Pupy Pedroso, the subject of several of the Beyond Salsa Piano books.

Museums and Popular Culture seeks to unravel the paradox that to adequately reflect popular culture museums may need to abandon their traditional form. This is a book which no one interested in museums can afford to ignore.
