When you subscribe to any of Intellect’s journals until 31st May 2008 you receive the book of your choice from our extensive range of titles, absolutely FREE!! Why not subscribe to one of our latest journals?

The Soundtrack is an exciting new journal exploring the aural elements, which combine with moving images. It regards the sounds which accompany the visuals not as a combination of disparate disciplines, but as a unified and coherent entity. Issue 1 (Feb 2008) includes an article about the soundtrack of the Coen Brothers' comedy Raising Arizona, which might make for interesting comparison with the brothers' latest release No Country for Old Men.

Journal of Community Music
For readers who wish for a basic starting point, we suggest that Community Music may be thought of as music teaching-learning interactions and transactions that occur ‘outside’ traditional music institutions (e.g., university music departments, public schools, conservatories) and/or music teaching-learning interactions and transactions that operate in relation to traditional institutions.

Creative Industries Journal
The Creative Industries Journal is primarily aimed at those studying and practising activities which have their origin in individual creativity, skill and talent, and which have a potential for wealth creation. These activities primarily take place in advertising, architecture, the art and antiques market, crafts, design, fashion, film, interactive leisure software, music, the performing arts, publishing, television and radio. The journal provides a forum to challenge definitional assumptions, advance the social, economic, cultural, and political understanding and engagement with the creative industries.
