  Claude Debussy is regarded by many as the quintessential French composer, with musicthat invited both warm applause and frosty criticism in his day. While our ears no longerhear him as controversial, his works heralded the dawn of an artistic period founded oninnovation and experiment, and a desire to break with the past in search of new expressivemeans. With never a dull moment, Debussy went from being a musical misfit at the ParisConservatoire to bohemian life amongst the Symbolist poets and some scandalous loveaffairs. The transformative effect of pieces such as the Prélude à l’après-midi d’un fauneeventually saw him awarded the Chevalier of the Légion d’Honneur in 1903. The narrativeis illustrated with musical excerpts from Children’s Corner, String Quartet No. 1, Images,Nocturnes and Pelléas et Mélisande, among many others.

  About Man and God and Law is the story of how Bob Dylan sparked a revolution of the spirit and why it matters today. 
   
   
   
  Many of our assumptions about empathy, sensual pleasure, and the essence of work, community, country, race, and the divine have germinated in Bob Dylan's need to know what's blowing in the wind and how it feels. Tracing his work and vision through themes that have shaped religious and cultural history for millennia, Stephen Daniel Arnoff uncovers how Bob Dylan has re-enchanted ancient questions of meaning and purpose throughout popular culture, inspiring a pantheon of prophetic musicians along the way. This field guide to Dylan's spiritual wisdom aims to make good on the promise that if we look closely enough at his body of work—precisely at a moment when the world we thought we knew seems like uncharted territory—we can open up our eyes to see not only where we really are, but where we need to go.

  P. T. Barnum, best-known for his own use of hoaxes in his popular Barnum & Bailey Circus, found that the use of hoaxes was acceptable when the audience was getting the entertainment they paid for. When it came to religious hoaxes, fraud, and swindling, Barnum was avidly against it. He even went so far as to offer $500 to any medium who could prove that they actually could reach the dead. In this exposé of humbugs and the scams they perpetuate, he goes after religious quacks, witches and sorcerers, and other forms of frauds in all walks of life. He discusses some of the most notable scams of the time and reveals the perpetrators as humbugs. In addition to scams, he also discusses business affairs and his own opinions of the current events of his time.
