Whether social, cultural, or individual, the act of imagination always derives from a pre-existing context. For example, we can conjure an alien's scream from previously heard wildlife recordings or mentally rehearse a piece of music while waiting for a train. This process is no less true forthe role of imagination in sonic events and artifacts. Many existing works on sonic imagination tend to discuss musical imagination through terms like compositional creativity or performance technique. In this two-volume Handbook, contributors address this tendency head-on, correcting the currentbias towards visual imagination to instead highlight the many forms of sonic and musical imagination. Topics covered include auditory imagery and the neurology of sonic imagination; aural hallucination and illusion; use of metaphor in the recording studio; the projection of acoustic imagination inarchitectural design; and the design of sound artifacts for cinema and computer games.

The evidence for the ancestry of the human species among the apes is overwhelming. But the facts are never “just” facts. Human evolution has always been a value-laden scientific theory and, as anthropology makes clear, the ancestors are always sacred. They may be ghosts, or corpses, or fossils, or a naked couple in a garden, but the idea that you are part of a lineage is a powerful and universal one. Meaning and morals are at play, which most certainly transcend science and its quest for maximum accuracy. With clarity and wit, Jonathan Marks shows that the creation/evolution debate is not science versus religion. After all, modern anti-evolutionists reject humanistic scholarship about the Bible even more fundamentally than they reject the science of our simian ancestry. Widening horizons on both sides of the debate, Marks makes clear that creationism is a theological, not a scientific, debate and that thinking perceptively about values and meanings should not be an alternative to thinking about science – it should be a key part of it.

Most people are pursuing an assumed correct philosophy, right marriage, right religious persuasion, right relationship etc. How many, like Jason, have found their Golden Fleece? The question begs: is there a yardstick to measure all philosophies? The pursuit of the identity of Jason revealed these gems: ancient secret libraries, the locations of Lost Tribes of Israel, a meta-code in the Temple of Solomon, and a spirit-level to test major doctrines. Also from the blueprint of Solomon's Temple, wisdom above 33¡ is released for the first time. From that wisdom, the following contentious issues can be resolved: 1) is the Universe a clock? 2) was it made or did it evolve? 3) debating evolution vs. creation. 4) is there a Great Architect of the Universe, called God Almighty? 5) the real causes of the Middle East conflict. 6) Christianity/Islam/Judaism, religious persuasions or pretexts for conflicts? Naturally, these timely revelations will stir up hornets nests of controversy, in that many perceived truths WILL BE upturned. The Golden Fleece Found allows doctrines held sacrosanct to be vetted against a true "spirit level." The most often asked, yet unanswered questions from over 100 countries are addressed in meticulous details. Veeeeerrrry interesting!!!!! Definitely a must read!

This volume of essays examines the forced dispossession caused by the Middle Passage. The book analyzes the texts, religious rites, economic exchanges, dance, and music it elicited, both on the transatlantic journey and on the American continent. The totality of this collection establishes a broad topographical and temporal context for the Passage that extends from the interior of Africa across the Atlantic and to the interior of the Americas, and from the beginning of the Passage to the present day. A collective narrative of itinerant cultural consciousness as represented in histories, myths, and arts, these contributions conceptualize the meaning of the Middle Passage for African American and American history, literature, and life.
