Bach's Dialogue With Modernity: Perspectives on The Passions

The present book shares critical perspectives on the conceptualization, implementation, discourses, policies, and alternative practices of environmental education (EE) for diverse and unique groups of learners in a variety of international educational settings. Each contribution offers insights on the authors’ own processes of re-imagining an education in/about/for the environment that are realized through their teaching, research and other ways of “doing” EE. Overall, environmental education has been aimed at giving people a wider appreciation of the diversity of cultural and environmental systems around them as well as the urge to overcome existing problems.

Digitally remastered and expanded edition of the 1980 debut album by post-punk band The Passions including three bonus tracks. The Passions released their first single on Soho Records in 1979. Later, after being seen by a record company A&R guy during a residency at the Moonlight Club in West Hampstead, the band were signed to Fiction Records, for which they recorded a single and their first album before moving to Polydor Records. Michael & Miranda was released in 1980. This special edition includes the 12 original album cuts plus three related bonus tracks and appears on CD for the first time. The bonus tracks on this CD include the band's only Fiction single 'Hunted' and the band's first single 'Needles & Pills'/'Body & Soul'. The master tapes of this independent single are long since lost, so we have used a vinyl restoration specialist to provide these two tracks. The album was produced by label boss Chris Parry, whose credits include The Jam, The Cure and The Associates amongst others. All the tracks have been sourced from the original production master tapes except tracks 14 and 15, as stated above. The CD booklet features the original album flip-side front cover (white front or black front cover), lyrics, plus detailed diary entries-'The Passions' First Album - a diary by Clive Timperley' from the related period of 1979-1980. There is also a UK discography.

The Passions were a post-punk band formed by guitarist/vocalist Barbara Gogan, bassist Claire Bidwell, drummer Richard Williams, vocalist Mitch Barker, and guitarist Clive Temperley. Prior to forming in 1978, most of the members had spent time in other groups. Most notably, Temperley was an ex-101'er, and Williams was in Prag Vec precursors the Derelicts. The Passions debuted in March of 1979 with the Needles and Pins single on Soho, which helped them gain a contract with Fiction, home of the Cure.
