Sinossi

"World music" emerged as a commercial and musical category in the 1980s, but in some sense music has always been global. Through the metaphor of encounters, Music and Globalization explores the dynamics that enable or hinder cross-cultural communication through music. In the stories told by the contributors, we meet well-known players such as David Byrne, Peter Gabriel, Sting, Ry Cooder, Fela Kuti, and Gilberto Gil, but also lesser-known characters such as the Senegalese Afro-Cuban singer Laba Sosseh and Raramuri fiddle players from northwest Mexico. This collection demonstrates that careful historical and ethnographic analysis of global music can show us how globalization operates and what, if anything, we as consumers have to do with it.

    Napoleon's Imperial Guard...

    The author of Battle for Paris 1815 examines the uniforms and equipment of the infantry of Napoleon’s Imperial Guard.   From its origins as the Consular Guard of the French Republic, and as Napoleon’s personal bodyguard, the Imperial Guard developed into a force of all arms numbering almost 100,000 men. Used by Napoleon as his principal tactical reserve, the Guard was engaged only sparingly, being deployed at the crucial moment of battle to turn the tide of victory in favor of the Emperor of the French.   Naturally, the Imperial Guard has been the subject of numerous books over many decades, yet there has never been a publication that has investigated the uniforms and equipment of the infantry of the Imperial Guard with such detail and precision. The author has collected copies of almost all the surviving documents relating to the Guard, which includes a vast amount of material regarding the issuing of dress items, in some instances down to company level.   This information is supported by an unrivaled collection of illustrations, many of which have never been published before, as well as images of original items of equipment held in museums and private collections across the globe. In addition, the renowned military artist, Keith Rocco, has produced a series of unique paintings commissioned exclusively for this book.   This glorious book is, and will remain, unsurpassed as the standard work on the clothing and equipment of the Imperial Guard, and will not only be invaluable to historians, but also reenactors, wargamers and modelers. It is one of the most important publications ever produced on this most famous of military formations.

    TAXI DRIVER 
    THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA COLLECTION 
      
    FROM THE MOVIE DIRECTED BY MARTIN SCORSESE 
      
    CREATED BY FILM TRIVIA METAVERSE 
      
    ABOUT THE FILM 
    Taxi Driver (1976), directed by Martin Scorsese, follows Travis Bickle (Robert De Niro), a mentally troubled Vietnam War veteran who becomes a night-shift taxi driver in a decaying, crime-ridden New York City. Struggling with chronic insomnia and loneliness, Travis’s disillusionment with society grows as he witnesses the city's corruption and moral decay. Obsessed with saving a young prostitute, Iris (Jodie Foster), and seeking a sense of purpose, Travis begins to spiral into violent thoughts. The film explores themes of isolation, existentialism, and the psychological consequences of trauma, set against the gritty backdrop of 1970s urban America. 
      
    TRIVIA SAMPLES: 
      
    “Steven Prince improvised the list of additional illegal things Easy Andy had for sale after Travis buys the guns.” 
      
    “Due to a garbage strike, much of the on-screen filth is real.” 
      
    “Paul Schrader originally envisioned the character of Travis with Jeff Bridges in mind.” 
      
    “Robert De Niro's on-and-off girlfriend in the 1970s, Diahnne Abbott, appears as the concession girl in the porno theater near the beginning of the film.” 
      
    “The girl who Martin Scorsese studied to prepare for the role of Iris (played by Jodie Foster) also appears in the film as Iris' friend on the street.”
