Sinopse

Music Festivals explores the multifaceted world of musical celebrations, examining their historical roots, socio-cultural significance, and economic impact. From small folk gatherings to large-scale jazz festivals and world music events, these festivals serve as powerful engines of cultural exchange and community building. Interestingly, many modern music festivals trace their origins back to ancient rituals and communal gatherings, showcasing how these events preserve cultural traditions while adapting to contemporary tastes. This book argues that festivals act as microcosms of broader societal trends, reflecting both unifying and divisive forces. It delves into case studies across genres and regions, analyzing their cultural and social impact, as well as their economic dimensions, including tourism and the music industry. Understanding the role of festival organizers is key to appreciating how these events shape our cultural identities and foster social cohesion. 

 
The book is structured into three main sections: historical context, case studies, and economic dimensions. It adopts a comparative approach, examining festivals across different genres and regions to identify common patterns and unique characteristics. Ultimately, Music Festivals offers valuable insights for music enthusiasts, festival organizers, and policymakers alike, providing a comprehensive look at the cultural and economic impact of these vibrant events.

Sweet Dreams

Rick Telander

"Sweet Dreams'' consists of 42 original poems with bedtime, sleep, and dreaming as their central themes.  The poems are traditional in form  and follow rhyme and meter, done in in the fashion of Robert Louis Stevenson’s century-old classic, A Child’s Garden of Verses.         Topics include moonlit nights, snowy days, dreams of dinosaurs in the bedroom, annoyance at a Key West rooster crowing all night, what it would be like to wake up as a worm, the oddness of a fever ailment, gazing at autumn leaves from a gently rocking hammock, the comforting protection of an unseen guardian angel, and fancies like "The Softest Bed'' in which a child envisions himself curling up, wrapping himself in his warm, bushy tail, and sleeping like a fox.         Started when Telander himself was sick in a bed many years ago and had begun writing the poems in his head, this  poetry collection spoken by the author is a work of caring for boys and girls who must make that ordinary yet complex and sometimes frightening transition from waking reality to the land of Nod.          Sweet Dreams will amuse, delight, intrigue, and above all soothe children of all ages before sleep.  It's soothing for adults, too, since all of us do, indeed, sleep.
