Download or read book Soul Mining written by Daniel Lanois and published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux. This book was released on 2010-11-09 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bob Dylan, Willie Nelson, Emmylou Harris, U2, Peter Gabriel, and the Neville Brothers all have something in common: some of their best albums were produced by Daniel Lanois. A French-speaking kid from Canada, Lanois was driven by his innate curiosity and intense love of music to transcend his small-town origins and become one of the world's most prolific and successful record producers, as well as a brilliant musician in his own right. Lanois takes us through his childhood, from being one of four kids raised by a single mother on a hairdresser's salary, to his discovery by Brian Eno, to his work on albums such as U2's The Joshua Tree, Bob Dylan's Time Out of Mind, and Emmylou Harris's Wrecking Ball. Revealing for the first time ever his unique recording secrets and innovations, Lanois delves into the ongoing evolution of technology, discussing his earliest sonic experiments with reel-to-reel decks, the birth of the microchip, the death of discrete circuitry, and the arrival of the download era. Part technological treatise, part philosophical manifesto on the nature of artistic excellence and the overwhelming need for music, Soul Mining brings the reader viscerally inside the recording studio, where the surrounding forces have always been just as important as the resulting albums. Beyond skill, beyond record budgets, beyond image and ego, Lanois's work and music show the value of dedication and soul. His lifelong quest to find the perfect mixture of tradition and innovation is inimitable and unforgettable.

Download or read book Last Call written by CB Fairchild and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2012-12-14 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I started writing poetry in the mid 70s. I couldnt play guitar or sing (the nuns kicked my out of the choirsaid I sounded like a bleating goat). So I figured poetry would help with the chicks. But then I found that I liked poetry and putting down my thoughts on paper, it helped me keep my inner demons at bay. So write I did. Then I joined the navy and got married, had children and the writing was put on the shelf. I wasnt until I divorced and the kids were grown, that I found my inspiration again and started putting pen to paper (well type to computer). As I looked through this conglomeration of poems, I could see a pattern taking shapethe pattern of random purpose. Many of these poems were written for lovers, friends, family but mostly for me. And many years passed from early works in my teens to more recent works that may be less cynicalBut whatever the case, whether funny, romantic, political or dark they are all written from the heart and from the experiences of a middle-aged hippie As you read these poems please remember that Poets write not from wisdom but from inspiration CB Fairchild I hope you enjoy my rambling thoughts as much as I enjoyed writing them. PEACE

Download or read book Eden on the Charles written by Michael Rawson and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2014-10-06 with total page 382 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drinking a glass of tap water, strolling in a park, hopping a train for the suburbs: some aspects of city life are so familiar that we don’t think twice about them. But such simple actions are structured by complex relationships with our natural world. The contours of these relationships—social, cultural, political, economic, and legal—were established during America’s first great period of urbanization in the nineteenth century, and Boston, one of the earliest cities in America, often led the nation in designing them. A richly textured cultural and social history of the development of nineteenth-century Boston, this book provides a new environmental perspective on the creation of America’s first cities. Eden on the Charles explores how Bostonians channeled country lakes through miles of pipeline to provide clean water; dredged the ocean to deepen the harbor; filled tidal flats and covered the peninsula with houses, shops, and factories; and created a metropolitan system of parks and greenways, facilitating the conversion of fields into suburbs. The book shows how, in Boston, different class and ethnic groups brought rival ideas of nature and competing visions of a “city upon a hill” to the process of urbanization—and were forced to conform their goals to the realities of Boston’s distinctive natural setting. The outcomes of their battles for control over the city’s development were ultimately recorded in the very fabric of Boston itself. In Boston’s history, we find the seeds of the environmental relationships that—for better or worse—have defined urban America to this day.

Book excerpt: “The sun, the sky, the moon, the stars Move in celestial harmony Never violating the canons Of the divine powers Let man learn his lessons from nature's theme Live in peace and harmony No matter how strong or how wise Live within the realms of the divine scheme” — Rig Veda Ishkrithi—the generation and sustenance of nature in all respects… The earth has enough bounty for all living beings to live happily.

The Vrishti Yagna at Latur, which resulted in plentiful rains in a severely drought hit area, Yaga conducted for putting out forest fires in Uttarakhand, etc. are but a few examples of this ancient wisdom. Read on to know more about this wealth of all-encompassing knowledge… The subject Viswamatha is brought under the following books 1. Viswamatha Geetha 2. Metaphilosophy of Creation Cosmos and beyond Cosmos 3. Viswamatha Imperceptible 4. Viswamatha Nishkrithi 5. Viswamatha Ishkrithi
