Book SynopsisW. A. Mathieu, an accomplished author and recording artist, presents a way of learning music that reconnects modern-day musicians with the source from which music was originally generated. As the author states, The rules of music--including counterpoint and harmony--were not formed in our brains but in the resonance chambers of our bodies. His theory of music reconciles the ancient harmonic system of just intonation with the modern system of twelve-tone temperament. Saying that the way we think music is far from the way we do music, Mathieu explains why certain combinations of sounds are experienced by the listener as harmonious. His prose often resembles the rhythms and cadences of music itself, and his many musical examples allow readers to discover their own musical responses.Trade Review"Mathieu's books are worth reading for anyone in any field of music--jazz, classical, gospel, or any other. He's found the words to tell the power of music." * Pete Seeger, folksinger *"This book goes beyond what most textbooks offer, and its highly original pedagogy deserves the attention of every teacher of harmony. Above all, this is a book for anyone who would like to acquire harmony as a lived experience rather than as mere memorization of unyielding rules on paper." * Chien-Chang Yang, Quarterly Journal of the MLA *"Mathieu is consistently proving himself to be one of the best in musical theory." * John Coltrane in Downbeat Magazine *"This volume offers experiential keys to help unlock the mystery of how music works its deep affect upon us. Harmonic Experience extends any reader's understanding of music and is a user-friendly, elegant and graceful work. It is a technical treatise about the inner workings of music." * Daniel Atesh Sonneborn, Smithsonian Institution *Table of Contents Editor's Preface Introduction Part 1: Harmonic Purity: Feeling the Numbers 1 Seeing Air and Touching Sound 2 Singing Unison with a Drone 3 Singing Octaves 4 Singing Perfect Fifths 5 Singing Major Thirds 6 A Map of Harmonic Relationships 7 The Perfect Fifth Below: Hello Mother 8 The Major Third Below 9 The Central Section of the Map Completed 10 The Five-limit Lattice of Twelve Notes 11 Available Modes: Lydian Through Phrygian 12 Mixed Modes 13 Internalizing the Lattice 14 Numbers and Mysteries 15 Chomatic Pairs 16 Beyond Twelve Notes: The Extended Five-Limit Lattice 17 The Seventh Partial and Beyond 18 The Practice of Pure Harmony Part 2: The Selective Use of Equal Temperament 19 Leaping from Paradise 20 Six Unambiguous Chords 21 Twelve Unambiguous Chords: Tonal Harmony within the Lattice of Twelve Notes 22 Unambiguous Triadic Harmony in the Extended Lattice 23 Dronality in Equal Temperament: Mixed Modes 24 Dronality in Equal Temperament: Mixed Modes 25 Chromatic Pairs and the Magic Mode 26 Pushing the Magic Mode Envelope Part 3: The Function Commas of Equal-Tempered Tonal Harmony 27 Comma Phenomena 28 Didymic Pairs of Tones 29 Didymic Pairs of Triads 30 The Great Diesis: The Beauty of the Beast 31 The Tonal Array of the Great Diesis 32 The Diaschisma 33 Quasi-functional and Nonfunctional Commas 34 The Shape of Tonality Part 4: Harmonic Practice, Analysis, and Review of the Theory 35 Practical Matters 36 A Small Syllabus of Diatonic Sequences 37 Cadential Practices: Parallel Borrowing 38 The Long Cadence: A Comprehensive View of Cadential Energy 39 Tonicization and Modulation 40 Modal Modulation 41 A Syllabus of Cyclic Sequences 42 Symmetrical Harmony and the Dissolution of Tonality 43 The Notation of Positional Analysis 44 Review of the Theory Afterword Glossary of Terms Glossary of Singable Tones in Just Intonation Sources Acknowledgments General Index Index of Ratios Index of Most-Referenced Examples, Figures, and Tables

Book SynopsisWINNER OF THE PULITZER PRIZE IN FICTION 2021NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLERIt is 1953. Thomas Wazhushk is the night watchman at the first factory to open near the Turtle Mountain Reservation in rural North Dakota. He is also a prominent Chippewa Council member, trying to understand a new bill that is soon to be put before Congress. The US Government calls it an ''emancipation'' bill; but it isn''t about freedom - it threatens the rights of Native Americans to their land, their very identity. How can he fight this betrayal?Unlike most of the girls on the reservation, Pixie - ''Patrice'' - Paranteau has no desire to wear herself down on a husband and kids. She works at the factory, earning barely enough to support her mother and brother, let alone her alcoholic father who sometimes returns home to bully her for money. But Patrice needs every penny to get if she''s ever going to get to Minnesota to find her missing sister Vera. In The NTrade ReviewErdrich is one of the greatest living American writers * the Guardian *Louise Erdrich is my favourite writer and her latest, The Night Watchman, is my favourite Erdrich novel, so how could this not be a cause for celebration? . . . No one is better than Erdrich at creating an entire world and all the people who live there, past, present and future. * Ann Patchett, Evening Standard: 'The best books of 2020' *This book feels particularly special, taking those elements that we expect from Erdrich - beautiful prose, exquisite depiction of the natural world, powerful emotion - and building them into something exceptional.

I walked away from the Turtle Mountain clan feeling deeply moved, missing these characters as if they were real people known to me. In this era of modern termination assailing us, the book feels like a call to arms. A call to humanity. * New York Times *Erdrich describes the Turtle Mountain Reservation in North Dakota in rich detail and illustrates the lengths that some will go to protect the ones they care for. * TIME *Erdrich orchestrates a rich community tale * BBC.co.uk, 'Books to Read in 2020' *[The Night Watchman is] Erdrich´s stunning new novel . . . Thomas Washushk, the character who lovingly hops off the page, is based on Erdrich´s own grandfather . . . Erdrich weaves the stories of other beautifully crafted characters against the backdrop of an impoverished reservation . . . The connection between Erdrich´s characters and the natural world is unbreakable, and some of her most evocative passages are dedicated to this relationship . . .

Sergeant sharply evokes the neurotic importance of music and clothes, his relief at seeing light alter so much darkness especially palpable in the aftermath of his new band's first gig -- Keith Cameron * Mojo *Sergeant's acerbic sense of humour in the telling of these tales means the memoir sometimes reads as if you're in the pub with him . . .

Book SynopsisFrom award winning novelist and journalist David Profumo comes a dazzling work about the restorative power of nature and finding joy in simple pleasures. 'David Profumo has fished everywhere man and boy, and come back with his creel crammed with adventures and misadventures - a memoir for every fisherman's bookshelf.' Tom Stoppard It is often said there is more to the experience of fishing than the mere catching of fish, and in this evocative, wide-ranging memoir he explores the delights and mysteries of one of mankind's most ancient pursuits. As we move from the Highland waters of his childhood and into his adult travels from the Arctic Circle to the South Seas, The Lightning Thread unpeels this idiosyncratic subject, and shows how it embraces folklore, poetry, magic, drink and disaster. By turns a lyrical celebration of the natural world and also the quirkiness of human nature itself, this is a hymn to the great happiness that pursuing his life's passion has brought the auth

Mind Over Mood will help you: *Learn proven, powerful, practical strategies to transform your life. *Follow step-by-step plans to overcome depression, anxiety, anger, guilt, Trade Review"Only rarely does a book come along that can truly change your life. Mind Over Mood is such a book. Dennis Greenberger and Christine A. Padesky have distilled the wisdom and science of psychotherapy and written an easily understandable manual for change."--from the Foreword by Aaron T. Beck, MD, developer of cognitive therapy "Based on over 40 years of front-line research, this renowned book provides clinically proven strategies to help you manage your mind and the emotions that can so easily destroy your quality of life. Drs. Greenberger and Padesky show how your thoughts affect your feelings and teach step-by-step skills so you can free yourself from painful moods. The first edition of this book was a classic--the second edition is even better, and will be a trusted guide for even more people across the globe."--Mark Williams, DPhil, coauthor of The Mindful Way Workbook "Over a million people have used Mind Over Mood to alleviate--and in many cases eliminate--the suffering caused by depression and other psychological problems. Drs. Greenberger and Padesky are brilliant therapists whose thoroughly updated second edition is informed by the latest research and therapeutic innovations. Science has demonstrated incontrovertibly that changing the way we think about emotional situations is among the most powerful ways to change emotions themselves. Everyone struggling with challenging moods or emotions should read this book."--David H. Barlow, PhD, ABPP, coauthor of 10 Steps to Mastering Stress "True to its title, this book really can help you transform your thinking so you can make lasting changes."--Judith S. Beck, PhD, President, Beck Institute for Cognitive Behavior Therapy -Mind Over Mood provides effective cognitive techniques for patients to develop a more balanced view of themselves, to challenge the automatic thoughts, assumptions, and core beliefs they dearly hold….Mind Over Mood; has many great features, including: (1) clear organization and structure, (2) readability, (3) analogies to supplement explanations…(4) summaries, helpful hints, questions, worksheets, and exercises that reinforce learning for patients, (5) excellent chapters on specific problems…(6) helpful sections on mindfulness, assertiveness, gratitude, forgiveness, and positive psychology….For physicians like me who are looking for ways to prevent burnout in these chaotic times in medicine, the greatest benefit I had reading and underlining the pages in this book was what I learned about my own cognitive distortions, assumptions, and biases. I gained a renewed sense of self, one that is mentally and emotionally more flexible to challenge core assumptions and beliefs about myself, spouse, patients, colleagues, and friends--and electronic health record administrators!--Family Medicine, 2/1/2017ƒƒThe book divides the techniques into small chunks accompanied by clear explanations. A therapist or school social worker could also use this format to teach a student or client about the way they think or to use self-talk. Later chapters guide the reader to challenge or create alternative healthier thoughts. The authors also tackle previously held assumptions and how these can negatively affect our core beliefs. The explanations are helpful because the reader can learn why the strategies can work….I can appreciate how the reproducible worksheets could be used for data collection to measure goals with students as well as to teach coping mechanisms that students can use when out of the social work office. The practical CBT techniques make a lot of sense in a school setting, and the empowerment the school social worker can provide to students when they find they can continue to help themselves would be a win-win.--School Social Work Journal, 9/1/2016ƒƒHow refreshing it is to find a book which soars above the rest and systematically engages the reader to make real and long-lasting change….A workbook that has proven to be very popular, finding its place in and amongst the essential reading lists for anyone suffering with a common mental health problem….The format and structure of this book is clear, accessible, well-paced, and engaging….The content is clearly cross-referenced and the reader is guided every step of the way, allowing it to suit their own individual needs….Perhaps of greatest value is its reflexivity, with helpful hints and constant mood check-ups available to emphasize the importance of verifying whether the techniques used are beneficial….Each chapter is accompanied by a series of case scenarios which are constantly revisited throughout the book, creating an air of familiarity and a feeling that you are not alone in working through these worksheets. I found myself reading these case scenarios with great interest, eager to find out how each individual resolved their issues using the techniques described in this book….Another strength of this book is the way it communicates the message that negative thoughts are a natural component of the human experience, and to deny their influence and presence would be unwise. Instead, the reader is encouraged to accept and incorporate these thoughts into their daily lives, creating alternative and balanced thinking patterns that are more realistic and constructive….Mind Over Mood is a well-executed and systematic approach for teaching and developing the skills in evidence-based CBT techniques. The content is accessible, easy-to-follow, and makes use of several helpful hints to boost enjoyment and success with the book.--Journal of Psychological Therapies in Primary Care, 6/1/2015Table of ContentsForeword, Aaron T.
