The University of Chicago Press The Guitar
Book SynopsisA behind-the-scenes stories and insights into how guitars are made, where the much-cherished guitar timbers ultimately come from, and the people and skills that craft those timbers along the way.Trade Review"The Guitar has everything necessary to become a classic in more than one discipline... of interest to those who want to know what a continuous hunger for six strings demands from nature and how it promotes certain supply chains worldwide." * popcultureshelf.com *“Every guitar maker, and player, should read it.” -- Miles Jackson, CEO of Cole Clark"How old is a guitar? Did its life begin in the hands of the player, in the workshop or the factory, in the sourcing of its wood, or in the forests from which it came with their majestic, centuries-old trees? In an exhilarating, round-the-world journey, Gibson and Warren follow the trail of this most eloquent of instruments to its arboreal roots. Full of colourful characters, it’s a story that will keep you on edge of your seat.” -- Tim Ingold, University of Aberdeen“At a time when our world faces increasing global crises Gibson and Warren trace guitars back to their trees to offer the first sustained example of how to rethink commodity chains as chains of care. Through rich, multi-sited ethnographic research Gibson and Warren show how people across the Global North and Global South attempt to sustain each other and their skilled handcraft industry by caring for the trees and the forests, by caring for one other along with everyone in the chain, and by caring for trees they will never, as individuals, live to see become guitars—in order that someone else someday can. Richly researched and compellingly crafted, this book stands as a model for the creative soul of geographical scholarship.” -- Dydia DeLyser, California State University, Fullerton“The book integrates cultural practices and environmental issues of profound importance. It will have a vast appeal to those who, like myself, buy, use, and love guitars. Beautifully written, jargon-free, clear, and vivid. Brilliant!” -- Doug Harper, Duquesne University

University of Tennessee Press Cool Wooden Box: Transformation of the American
Book SynopsisBeginning with a comparison of the American acoustic guitar world in the early 1960s with that of today, then describing iconic performances at storied venues such as The Ark in Ann Arbor while meticulously researching the instrument’s top makers, Smith assembles a passion-filled and eye-opening history of that “cool wooden box” from the folk era through the pandemic. The author focuses on both the playing and making of the acoustic guitar, concluding that the instrument has been transformed in both aspects during the last sixty years. On the playing side, Smith examines the influences on, and the impact of, such guitarists as David Bromberg, Elizabeth Cotten, Paul Geremia, and Norman Blake. On the making side, the author takes the reader into the tradition-minded yet dynamic world of lutherie. He traces how the oldest, most revered companies whose reputations are based on legendary breakthroughs in lutherie, Gibson and Martin, have adapted as the new lutherie movement of innovative small-scale producers, exemplified by interviewees such as Michael Gurian, Bill Collings, Richard Hoover, and Dana Bourgeois, arose. Starting small and then growing exponentially, Taylor Guitars is a wholly different “player” in acoustic guitar building, and Smith compellingly tells its story. Finally, Cool Wooden Box considers the effects of globalization on the industry.Clocking thousands of miles and hours of interviews with guitar makers, suppliers, and sellers, W. Rand Smith has created not only a detailed history of the acoustic guitar, but also a lasting tribute to an instrument he so clearly reveres.Trade ReviewAfter coming out of the disco . . . era, when people rediscovered how cool that wooden box is, they just keep rediscovering it." —Christopher F. Martin IV, CEO, C. F. Martin Co."There are books on acoustic guitars, acoustic guitar players, and acoustic guitar makers, but Rand Smith brings them all together for the first time as he explores and explains the evolutionary Big Bang that the acoustic guitar has undergone in the last five decades. An important work—and entertaining, too." —Walter Carter, founder, Carter Vintage Guitars

Taylor & Francis Ltd Late Antiquity on the Eve of Islam
Book SynopsisThis volume reflects the huge upsurge of interest in the Near East and early Islam currently taking place among historians of late antiquity. At the same time, Islamicists and Qur''anic scholars are also increasingly seeking to place the life of Muhammad and the Qur''an in a late antique background. Averil Cameron, herself one of the leading scholars of late antiquity and Byzantium, has chosen eleven key articles that together give a rounded picture of the most important trends in late antique scholarship over the last decades, and provide a coherent context for the emergence of the new religion. A substantial introduction, with a detailed bibliography, surveys the present state of the field, as well as discussing some recent themes in Qur''anic and early Islamic scholarship from the point of view of a late antique historian. The volume also provides an invaluable introduction to recent scholarship, making clear the ferment of religious change that was taking place across the Near EaTrade Review'... The work included here remains influential ...' Bryn Mawr Classical Review '... a valuable repository of (mostly) Anglophone scholarship on early Islam and a tremendously helpful resource for libraries, not least because of the admirable Variorum practice of maintaining the formatting and pagination of original articles throughout.'
