Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tell you, reader, no shit, I could damn near write a freaking book in and of itself on how much I’ve been dogged by self-publishing book companies, but I never will. Nope, this is it for me. Cash me in, baby. I am like SO done with this bullshit. But before bailing, I do want to give it up to AuthorHouse for being my last ever book publisher. Regarding this quite short nonfictional book you are now holding, it simply consists of a list of my songs, written between August 2011 through July 2012, together with a collection of my printed thoughts. Songs reveal a good deal of what is inside a person’s soul as do written thoughts. And I do believe there is measurable depth of both dredged up and processed into the contents of these pages, I should like to think considerably deeper than “Jack Handey’s” thoughts. But even if they ain’t, what can I tell you? Ah fuck it, just call me ‘Jack.’ Peace. Late.

Book excerpt: The author of the New York Times bestseller This Is Your Brain on Music reveals music’s role in the evolution of human culture in this thought-provoking book that “will leave you awestruck” (The New York Times). Daniel J. Levitin's astounding debut bestseller, This Is Your Brain on Music, enthralled and delighted readers as it transformed our understanding of how music gets in our heads and stays there. Now in his second New York Times bestseller, his genius for combining science and art reveals how music shaped humanity across cultures and throughout history. Here he identifies six fundamental song functions or types—friendship, joy, comfort, religion, knowledge, and love—then shows how each in its own way has enabled the social bonding necessary for human culture and society to evolve. He shows, in effect, how these “six songs” work in our brains to preserve the emotional history of our lives and species. Dr. Levitin combines cutting-edge scientific research from his music cognition lab at McGill University and work in an array of related fields; his own sometimes hilarious experiences in the music business; and illuminating interviews with musicians such as Sting and David Byrne, as well as conductors, anthropologists, and evolutionary biologists. The World in Six Songs is, ultimately, a revolution in our understanding of how human nature evolved—right up to the iPod.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are reflections on life; then, there are truer reflections. It took a six-year hiatus for poet F.M. Bonevento to return to the written word, but he does so now with passion, wit, and a better understanding of things he thought he once knew. He now knows with certainty that time passes, and, as it does, we change and gain deeper understandings. The Ashen Song reflects Boneventos increasing concerned for the future of humanity and our uncertain fate. The Moons Song recalls an evening spent studying the autumn moon in a shimmering Texas sky. His work goes beyond observation and into the realm of science, as well, due to the authors lasting fascination with the relationship between the power of human thought and the infinite depth of the universe around us. Boneventos first two collections prepared him for this, his third and most powerful volume yet. His words bring resolution to the flights of heart and mind that visit our days here on Earth. The winds of time blow us back and forth; emotional winds shape us into who we are and who we will become. Take another, closer look at your life and hear the words on the winds.

Download or read book The Hatred of Music written by Pascal Quignard and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2016-03-28 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout Pascal Quignard’s distinguished literary career, music has been a recurring obsession. As a musician he organized the International Festival of Baroque Opera and Theatre at Versailles in the early 1990s, and thus was instrumental in the rediscovery of much forgotten classical music. Yet in 1994 he abruptly renounced all musical activities. The Hatred of Music is Quignard’s masterful exploration of the power of music and what history reveals about the dangers it poses. From prehistoric chants to challenging contemporary compositions, Quignard reflects on music of all kinds and eras. He draws on vast cultural knowledge—the Bible, Greek mythology, early modern history, modern philosophy, the Holocaust, and more—to develop ten accessible treatises on music. In each of these small masterpieces the author exposes music’s potential to manipulate, to mesmerize, to domesticate. Especially disturbing is his scrutiny of the role music played in the concentration camps of Nazi Germany. Quignard’s provocative book takes on particular relevance today, as we find ourselves surrounded by music as never before in history.
