Book Description
Music in Argentina is true to Argentines' hearts and spirit. "Silver Land Ballads" is devoted to assessing and describing the formation and development of different kinds of folk and popular music in Argentina. Knowledge and analysis of how Indigenous, Spanish and other peoples' cultures created varieties of music related to Argentina's past and the present. From the tango of the bars of Buenos Aires at the end of the nineteenth century to the rock that proclaimed itself against dictatorship, this book will concentrate on Argentine music and its rhythms, instruments and themes. It analyses zamba, chacarera, chamamé and other folk dances and their regional and cultural characteristics. It also deals with the relations between circulation between Argentine music and trends globally, and how circulation works in both ways to give and receive inspiration. This book shows that from the origins of tango in the La Boca neighborhood in Buenos Aires to the present-day digital cumbia, Argentina sounds continue to echo in listeners' memories.

Book Description
Silverland charts Dervla Murphy's extraordinary expedition through the snowscapes of Far Eastern Russia. No stranger to adventure, the intrepid septuagenarian's mid-winter journey takes her beyond Siberia to the furthest corners of Russia - areas proximate to Japan, Mongolia and the Arctic Circle. Here she discovers a strange world of lynx and elks, indigenous tribes and shamanism, reindeer broth and taiga-berry pie. She takes the coal-fuelled slow-train around regions hardly exposed to tourism and there she meets a host of colourful and generous characters. They invite this unconventional Irish Babushka into their homes where she enjoys fascinating fireside debate bolstered by steaming samovars of sweet tea. Just like its author, Silverland is insightful, warm and truly original.

Book Description
Man is threatened only by fellow man. Great is that threat because man, throughout history, has fought fellow man. All impactful nations of our world fight other nations and must spend enormously because they must be ready to fight. It seems that we cannot outgrow fighting. This book imagines a world in which man does not engage in war. Animals are surrogates, and only animals engage in fighting to the death. Such practice is beneath civilized man, but he is not totally removed. Humans are obsessed with watching animals fight to the death. The animals do not mind. What happens when kids try it? Once the passion for fierce fighting enters the blood, can humans resist the urge to engage in war? Yes, they are superior to animals, but can humans refrain from doing the thing they believed they were too smart to ever do?
