  Every year, on a weekend before Christmas, the small Caribbean island of Carriacou, Grenada, holds its annual Parang Festival, featuring concerts, performances of local quadrille dance, Hosannah band (a cappella singing) competitions, and the climactic string band competition. Born in the years leading up to Grenada's 1979 Socialist Revolution, the Parang Festival today offers a vehicle for Carriacouans to articulate and assert a progressive understanding of local cultural identity as well as a regional, pan-Caribbean belonging. Rebecca S. Miller examines the varying impact that factors such as cultural ambivalence, globalization, and technology have had on the performance of Carriacou's folk and traditional music and dance forms. Using archival sources and current ethnography, she illuminates the enduring significance of the Parang Festival to illustrate the social and political history of Carriacou as well as this culture's contemporary process of modernization. The book includes a web link allowing the reader to listen to a variety of musical examples.

  Ian Lancaster Fleming (May 28, 1908 to August 12, 1964) was an English writer, best known for his James Bond series of spy novels, and his only children's novel, Chitty-Chitty-Bang-Bang. Fleming came from a wealthy family connected to the merchant bank Robert Fleming & Co., and his father was the Member of Parliament (MP) from 1910 until his death on the Western Front in 1917. Fleming himself was heavily involved in British intelligence during World War II. Raymond Thornton Chandler (July 23, 1888 to March 26, 1959) was an American novelist and screenwriter. His first novel, The Big Sleep, was published in 1939. All but one of his eight novels have been made into motion pictures. Chandler had an immense stylistic influence on American popular literature, including pioneering the hardboiled school of detective fiction. The protagonist of his novels, Philip Marlowe, is considered by some to be synonymous with "private detective." The following recording is from the late 1950s.

  The Crusader States - Kingdoms...

  The story of the Crusader States begins with a cry for help and a call to arms that would echo across Christendom. In 1095, at the Council of Clermont, Pope Urban II delivered a fiery sermon urging the Christian knights of Europe to take up arms and reclaim the Holy Land from Muslim control. This call to crusade was not merely a military summons—it was framed as a sacred duty, a spiritual journey that promised the remission of sins and eternal reward for those who participated. The response was overwhelming. Nobles, peasants, and knights alike took up the cross, inspired by religious fervor, promises of salvation, and, for some, the allure of land and glory. 
  The roots of the crusading movement were complex. The Byzantine Empire, under threat from the Seljuk Turks, had appealed to the West for military support. Urban II seized the opportunity not only to assist a fellow Christian empire but also to assert papal authority, redirect knightly violence away from Europe, and perhaps reunite the Eastern and Western Churches. His appeal resonated deeply in a Europe rife with feudal conflict, religious devotion, and a growing warrior culture. The concept of "holy war" gave new legitimacy to warfare as a religious act, transforming knights into pilgrims with a sword. 
  The First Crusade, launched in 1096, was both chaotic and remarkable. It was not a single army but a series of loosely organized forces, including the infamous People's Crusade led by Peter the Hermit, which was largely destroyed before reaching the Holy Land. The main crusading armies followed, composed of powerful lords such as Godfrey of Bouillon, Raymond of Toulouse, Bohemond of Taranto, and others. These forces traversed hostile territory, besieged cities, and faced hunger, disease, and internal divisions. Yet, against the odds, they succeeded in capturing Jerusalem in July 1099.
