Nurturing Pillars of Society
The younger generation — those under the age of 25 — accounts for more than a quarter of Hong Kong’s population. A much-misunderstood group, these people have special characteristics and needs, and some are particularly vulnerable. Substance abuse among young people is on the rise, and juveniles make up a third of total arrests every year. Extra effort and attention is required of policy-makers, educationalists and social workers to help this group make a positive contribution to society. This book seeks to promote understanding of Hong Kong’s young generation and offers strategies for working with them and their families towards healthy and productive development. Divided into three parts — youth in general, youth-at-risk, and young offenders — the book draws on international literature and empirical studies from within Hong Kong. Its focus is on action, always stressing the practical question of how to build a new model for working effectively with them. This book will be essential reading for seasoned professionals as well as undergraduate students in criminology, social policy, and social work, and postgraduates intending to practise in these areas.

The Pedagogical Writings of Marguerite Long
Marguerite Long, the most important French female pianist of the
20th century, left her stamp on a whole epoch of musical life in
Paris. The Pedagogical Writings of Marguerite Long
presents English translations of the two major contributions of
Marguerite Long to the literature of piano pedagogy. These
translations of her pedagogical works, Le Piano and La
Petite Méthode de piano , provide a window to the old French
school of pianism as modernized by Long. Le Piano is a
remarkable text offering piano playing techniques and pragmatic and
philosophical musings and observations about life, musicians,
careers, and more. La Petite Méthode de piano is a
personal manifesto about how to introduce children to music. Both
works are treasures revealing Long's lifelong commitment to
teaching and they are still stunningly relevant. In addition, John
Ellis analyzes each work and puts it in historical context. He
places special emphasis on Long's illustrious international career,
her teaching, her rivalry with Alfred Cortot, and the impact of
sexism on her life and work. Ellis addresses the eclipse of Long's
reputation by that of Cortot and fills a gap in the knowledge of
Long's place in the history of pedagogical heritage.
