The first thorough examination of the most renowned and influential organist in early twentieth-century Germany and of his complex relationship to his country's tumultuous and shifting sociopolitical landscape. In the course of a multifaceted career, Karl Straube (1873-1950) rose to positions of immense cultural authority in a German musical world caught in unprecedented artistic and sociopolitical upheaval. Son of a German harmonium-builder and an intellectually inclined English mother, Straube established himself as Germany's iconic organ virtuoso by the turn of the century. His upbringing in Bismarck's Berlin encouraged him to develop intensive interests in world history and politics. He quickly became a sought-after teacher, editor, and confidante to composers and intellectuals, whose work he often significantly influenced. As the eleventh successor to J. S. Bach in the cantorate of St. Thomas School, Leipzig, he focused the choir's mission as curator of Bach's works and, in the unstable political climate of the interwar years, as international emissary for German art. His fraught exit from the cantorate in 1939 bore the scars of his Nazi affiliations and issued in a final decade of struggle and disillusionment as German society collapsed. Christopher Anderson's book presents the first richly detailed examination of Karl Straube's remarkable life, situated against the background of the dynamic and sometimes sinister nationalism that informed it. Through extensive examination of primary sources, Anderson reveals a brilliant yet deeply conflicted musician whose influence until now has been recognized, even hailed, but little understood.

Best known in America for his 1970 novel, "The Ogre (Le Roi des aulnes"), Michel Tournier is arguably France's most important living popular author. Since 1980, however, Tournier has focused on making his fiction accessible to children, who now constitute his primary audience. Dr. Anderson focuses on the evolution of Tournier's writing style in terms of myth, initiation, and intertextual reference. He breaks new ground by demonstrating that Tournier's later works introduce young readers to initiatic structures and a ludic approach to reading, a key to the understanding of Tournier's adult works. It shows, too, the crucial role that initiation and intertextual reference play in unifying all of Tournier's fiction.

The purpose of this book is to relay to the reader(s) how emotional illnesses can affect every aspect of your life, no matter who you are or what you are doing in your life. Often people who have emotional illnesses are often in the shadows of life, hiding from the realities of what they are experiencing. Individuals face significant barriers in life, and stigmas associated with any form of mental illness can become overwhelmingly impossible to deal with for a number of persons who are traversing the travails inserted into there lives due to the uncertainties of emotional inconsistencies. I can never overestimate how demeaning it was for me to have to say to myself that I actually have an emotional issue. It felt like everything had fallen into disarray. Life is strange in that it can become a paradisical situation or a seeming hell on earth, it's all subjective to circumstances and the impact it has on the person. A person, well...like me. A former soldier and medical specialist/EMT who was proud of serving the communities in which I worked. Never knowing that all of the egregiously active situations to which I was disposed of had the effect of damaging my feeling of emotional oneness. and the assumed stability I possessed. At the time I never felt that I was being damaged in any way, I wondered how people could be so cruel in some cases, but I was never feeling the effects at those moments that later on would plague me in ways beyond even my ability to identify. I want this book to start everyone who reads it to begin to heal in that they will begin accepting that there is something that needs to be treated, Denial when dealing with emotional illnesses and issues can cause more damage than is already in play. I hope that you will find a reason to read and to use what this book has to offer.
Music from the Hilltop

In Music from the Hilltop, Benjamin A. Kolodziej studies three significant academic musical figures to weave a narrative that not only details the role musical studies played in the development of Southern Methodist University but also relates a history of church music and pipe organs in Dallas, Texas. Bertha Stevens Cassidy (1876–1959), the first organ professor and the only woman on the faculty of the new university, established herself as a leader and veritable dean of the church music community, managing a career of significant performances and teaching. Her student and protÉgÉ, Dora Poteet Barclay (1903–1961), broadened the pedagogical horizons for her students. Many of her own students achieved great professional heights as performers and church musicians.Robert Theodore Anderson (1934–2009) was intellectually able to bridge the gap between the theologians of the Methodist seminary and the performers at the Meadows School of the Arts. He consulted with the Dallas Symphony to prepare for the installation of an organ in the new Meyerson Symphony Center—an organ that would influence concert hall instruments in subsequent decades.
