This volume documents the 19th edition of the biannual "International Association for the Study of Popular Music". In focus of the conference were present and future developments.

When Donald Trump threw his hat in the ring for the Republican nomination in June, 2015, no one gave him a snowball's chance. As time passed, however, rival after rival dropped out of the race, until he was alone at the top at the beginning of May, 2016. How did an accomplished businessman, but a newcomer to politics, win a real-life version of ""The Apprentice?"" ""Trump's Tricks"" offers a psychologist's view of the tactics that were used to first attract attention in a crowded field, and then to defend against and counterattack all rivals and naysayers. The author describes the maneuvers that Donald Trump used to change politics and, perhaps, our society forever.

The musical adventure of a lifetime. The most exciting book on music in years. A book of treasure, a book of discovery, a book to open your ears to new worlds of pleasure. Doing for music what Patricia Schultz—author of the phenomenal 1,000 Places to See Before You Die—does for travel, Tom Moon recommends 1,000 recordings guaranteed to give listeners the joy, the mystery, the revelation, the sheer fun of great music. This is a book both broad and deep, drawing from the diverse worlds of classical, jazz, rock, pop, blues, country, folk, musicals, hip-hop, world, opera, soundtracks, and more. It's arranged alphabetically by artist to create the kind of unexpected juxtapositions that break down genre bias and broaden listeners’ horizons— it makes every listener a seeker, actively pursuing new artists and new sounds, and reconfirming the greatness of the classics. Flanking J. S. Bach and his six entries, for example, are the little-known R&B singer Baby Huey and the '80s Rastafarian hard-core punk band Bad Brains. Farther down the list: The Band, Samuel Barber, Cecelia Bartoli, Count Basie, and Afropop star Waldemer Bastos. Each entry is passionately written, with expert listening notes, fascinating anecdotes, and the occasional perfect quote—"Your collection could be filled with nothing but music from Ray Charles," said Tom Waits, "and you'd have a completely balanced diet." Every entry identifies key tracks, additional works by the artist, and where to go next. And in the back, indexes and playlists for different moods and occasions.
