Mirror of the Muses: Music as a Reflection of Culture in the Western Tradition helps students understand musical works in their historical, geographical, and conceptual contexts. It finds, within the music itself, fascinating clues to the thoughts, beliefs, and customs of the people who composed and performed it.From Greek music of the Archaic and Classical periods through expressions of multiculturalism in today’s Kronos Quartet performances, students will learn to think about music rather than merely hearing it, and to understand it as culturally significant. Through online research, they will draw connections between musical works and artworks, historical events, scientific discoveries, and more.In Mirror of the Muses, students discover number symbolism in medieval sacred music; aristocratic interactions embedded in music of Louis XIV’s court; reflections of Baroque-period scientific theory in Bach’s music; Verdi’s operas as an expression of nineteenth century political turmoil; early multiculturalism in Debussy; and the twentieth century redefinition of Classical music, as it began to merge with popular, jazz, rock, and world music.Mirror of the Muses teaches students to appreciate music as both art form and cultural artifact. It is ideal for introductory courses in humanities and Western civilization, and can also be used in music appreciation classes.
Sara Eddy's Ordinary Fissures is a splendid collection: dark, comic, loving, sad, disappointed, vulnerable, and-yes-confessional. These are poems both learned and filled with the language we speak, poems painfully, lyrically honest as one after the other they sing of the uncertainties attendant upon getting through each day. Her memories are haunting, and they can sting like those bees and nettles she often sings of. And, yet, how cathartic they are, treading into the dark woods, then bringing us back into a better understanding of who we are, and who we might be, if we only stopped to pay attention to the words she sings.-Paul Mariani, author of All That Will Be New There's a palpable urgency to these intimate, brazen, and heartfelt poems in which the speaker attends to life's cracks and splits. This is a book packed with gorgeous acts of close-looking, not just at our dark caverns and broken places, but also at the natural world. These pages carry quiet grace and fierce rage, all the while insisting that no matter the storms and dark waters we might encounter, we have power "to tack or jibe/ grip time by the boom and face the wind / or give it our backs."-Matt Donovan, author of The Dug-Up Gun Museum Sara Eddy begins with a "feral scrambling thrust" and holds us throughout in her wild embrace. Ordinary Fissures weaves a life well lived with the natural world: a girl becomes a lover new in their "body and luscious / with love," then a mother who asks "What power we have, to decide what is past, / what is present, to take control." Eddy's power lives in her ability to root her narrative in woods and ponds, in the smell of hyacinths, in the shapes of condor, sow, buffalo. Ordinary Fissures proves that even on the days when it is "too much, to be a woman, there is beauty and glory in the world.-Allison Blevins, author of Cataloguing Pain
"Amid the many delicious feasts contained in Full Mouth-ranging from caviar and oysters to donuts and dumplings-you'll find the "sweet improbable globes" of oranges, and the batter of funnel cakes wiggling "across a lake of boiling oil," expansive descriptions that insist on the transcendent experience that food can offer us. And what Eddy offers us here is a globe-trotting, memory-packed, omnivorous bounty of poems that interrogate appetite in all its forms. Through the full-mouth music of Eddy's language, this book explores family, intimacy, what nourishes and sates, and what it truly means to break bread." -Matt Donovan, author of two collections of poetry-Vellum (Mariner, 2007) and the chapbook Rapture & the Big Bam (Tupelo Press, 2017)-as well as the collection of essays, A Cloud of Unusual Size and Shape: Meditations on Ruin and Redemption (Trinity University Press, 2016). He is Director of the Poetry Center at Smith College.
Twenty years after de-segregation, in the counties of North Idaho, people did not seem to concern themselves with racial or religious injustice until it hit them in the face. Most of them may have thought that was taken care of in the 60's, after all, Civil Rights was the Law. My friends who lived in Bonner or Kootenai counties did not become fully aware of White Supremacists until Richard G. Butler moved in and showed them exactly what hatred looked like.

This 18-month study has produced some remarkable results during a time of transition inside the space arena. As the dreams of many describe customer needs and lead to more assets in space (at GEO, the Moon and Mars), the realization grows that a robust permanent transportation infrastructure is desperately needed. Essentially, we (ISEC) must insert the "positive environmental impact" aspect of spaceflight into a new vision. Everyone needs to understand the potential benefits of liftoffs accomplished by electricity. Our new vision is: Space Elevators are the Green Road to Space - they enable humanity's most important missions by moving massive tonnage to GEO and beyond. They accomplish this safely, routinely, inexpensively, daily and they are environmentally neutral. This study shows how the Space Elevator can actually enhance the Earth's environment and accomplishes much to fulfill the dreams of many. The compatible and complementary combination of future rockets and Space Elevators leads to the implementation of the Dual Space Access Architecture which enables: Rockets to open up the Moon and Mars with Space Elevators to supply and grow the colonies. In addition, Space Elevators will enable Green Missions such as, Space Solar Power and L-1 Sun Shades.

This short novel is set in 1967-73 and its two main characters, "he" and "she," are archetypes for the confused pubescent male and the slightly less confused pubescent female as I experienced them. If you like reading mysteries, psychological thrillers, and historical fiction, all combined in to one, then you won't particularly enjoy this, as its none of those. Rather, The Gun Dream is ultimately darker than that, with the darkness softened by the character who calls himself "the Interlocutor," who is subconsciously anxious about guns and what they symbolize about life in modern societies. The photographs are from my family archives, including those of the "window-pane art" I make from repurposed windows from my house, as well as odds and ends like fabrics and toys and leftover house paints.
Poetry collection -- These are poems from the earth and sky and they rise from a spirit that has moved mountains with a lifetime devotion to poetry. Delta Eddy's vision is far reaching because what she sees brings us closer to the truths we carry in our lives. We turn to these poems because they not only sustain us through the music of faith but, they remind us of what the great poet Pablo Neruda once declared, "Poetry is power." Ray Gonzalez, author of Beautiful Wall and Feel Puma.
