Download or read book The Ukulele written by Jim Tranquada and published by University of Hawaii Press. This book was released on 2012-05-31 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since its introduction to Hawai‘i in 1879, the ‘ukulele has been many things: a symbol of an island paradise; a tool of political protest; an instrument central to a rich musical culture; a musical joke; a highly sought-after collectible; a cheap airport souvenir; a lucrative industry; and the product of a remarkable synthesis of western and Pacific cultures. The ‘Ukulele: A History explores all of these facets, placing the instrument for the first time in a broad historical, cultural, and musical context. Drawing on a wealth of previously untapped sources, Jim Tranquada and John King tell the surprising story of how an obscure four-string folk guitar from Portugal became the national instrument of Hawai’i, of its subsequent rise and fall from international cultural phenomenon to “the Dangerfield of instruments,” and of the resurgence in popularity (and respect) it is currently enjoying among musicians from Thailand to Finland. The book shows how the technologies of successive generations (recorded music, radio, television, the Internet) have played critical roles in popularizing the ‘ukulele. Famous composers and entertainers (Queen Liliuokalani, Irving Berlin, Arthur Godfrey, Paul McCartney, SpongeBob SquarePants) and writers (Rudyard Kipling, Jack London, P. G. Wodehouse, Agatha Christie) wind their way through its history—as well as a host of outstanding Hawaiian musicians (Ernest Kaai, George Kia Nahaolelua, Samuel K. Kamakaia, Henry A. Peelua Bishaw). In telling the story of the ‘ukulele, Tranquada and King also present a sweeping history of modern Hawaiian music that spans more than two centuries, beginning with the introduction of western melody and harmony by missionaries to the Hawaiian music renaissance of the 1970s and 1980s.

Download or read book Training Heroes written by Steve Hunter and published by Tate Publishing. This book was released on 2012 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Former US Navy SEAL Marcus Luttrell's story of survival is well known. In his bestseller, Marcus tells the story of Operation Redwing, a mission in the mountains of Afghanistan that left him as the only living member of his team. But one part of Marcus's remarkable story has remained untold until now. In Training Heroes, Steve Hunter explores the foundation for Marcus's success as a Navy SEAL-his training in Buke-ryu, a style of traditional martial arts created by Hunter. Buke-ryu combines the best of Okinawan karate-jutsu and Japanese aiki- and ju-jutsu, along with training in modern weapons and outdoor skills such as hunting and tracking. Hunter, as the innovator of Buke-ryu, trains the whole person to develop a strong body, a sound mind, and a spirit grounded in Christian values. Hunter instilled all these qualities in his student Marcus Luttrell and provided training that proved essential to Marcus's amazing survival in Afghanistan. A powerful story of a teacher's importance in developing a warrior, Training Heroes sheds new light on Marcus's journey in Afghanistan. Hunter captures the intensity of one of his most dedicated students and shows readers how he realized his own calling to spend his life Training Heroes.
