  This book is the first comprehensive overview of Javanese performing arts from their origins to their dynamic present. Renowned scholar and musician Sumarsam draws from a lifetime of immersion in both wayang and gamelan to guide readers through the concept of the "in-between," revealing how the interplay of dualisms—myth and history, sacred and secular, personal and cultural—forms the bedrock of Javanese performance. Rigorously researched historical case studies reveal the intricate relationship between histories and mythologies in Java. Wayang, accompanied by gamelan, is a multimedia performance imbued with rich historical, aesthetic, religious, and emotional associations. Sumarsam delves into this intricate, profound, and ever-evolving art form, exploring its diverse manifestations and venues, from courtly village entertainment-cum-ritual to palace-based aesthetic expressions of cultural proficiency; from coastal mercantile entrepots to the verdant wet rice terraces of Java; from colonial plantation and textile factory cultures to communities centered around contemporary industrial estates and creative economy initiatives. An essential resource for scholars, musicians, and enthusiasts of wayang and gamelan, The In-Between in Javanese Performing Arts offers an unparalleled immersion into the heart of traditional Javanese performing arts, revealing their profound impact on Javanese culture, identity, and artistic expression.

  This audiobook has been recorded using Text to speech (TTS). 
   
  Did man rise up from the protoplasmic crud and evolve over millions of years or are his origins from within the world of the X-Files? Was planet Earth visited and populated by an ancient God-like race of super aliens who spawned a new species of servants? Are humans simply the result of biological engineering that we are now just discovering is possible? 
   
  The fact is, these ancient alien astronauts can be shown to have not only spawned mankind as a genetic species, but also to have originated our very religions and belief systems. They are the gods of ancient times. They are the holy warrior heroes in their silver chariots flying across the sky. They wielded mighty weapons of mass destruction. And now, thousands of years later we are rediscovering this truth. 
   
  We have very strong historical evidence that they came. We have thousands of stories in myths and religious texts speaking of aliens visiting Earth, creating mankind, ruling over them for millennia and even mating with them. We even know that a series of great battles ensued between the originators and their offspring. All of this gave rise to our world religions and it is in the sacred texts and historical writings that we shall discover the truth about the aliens that made us. 
   
  These alien astronauts are the very roots of humanity itself.

  Learn more about the history of those countries. The topics addressed will be the following: 
  The Khmer Empire--Historians describe Cambodia as the Khmer State or the Angkorian Empire (Khmer:) from the 9th century to the 15th century, when it was a Hindu/Buddhist empire in Southeast Asia. The empire, which developed from the old societies of Funan and Chenla, governed and/or "vassalized" the majority of mainland Southeast Asia and parts of Southern China, covering from the suggestion of the Indochinese Peninsula northward to modern-day Yunnan province in China, and from Vietnam westward to Myanmar. The Khmer Empire was greater at its peak than the Byzantine Empire (Eastern Roman Empire) that existed at the exact same period. 
  The Siamese-- Siam was just a much different name for what's now referred to as Thailand. The Siamese are the people who live there, though they're never ever called as such any longer. 
  Thailand is a fascinating country, with its own culinary arts, culture, history, royalty, infrastructure, and influence on the world. To learn more about these “Thai” people before they were called Thai, when they were Siamese, is to learn about those people’s roots.

In this audiobook, not only do we notice, but we explore how our anatomy has shaped the human experience. These five chapters explore your guts, private parts, womb, butt, and brain. We’ll hear stories from scientists, anthropologists, professors, doctors, mothers, fathers, and storytellers. We answer questions like what organ is a baby's best friend and the mother's worst nightmare, what is the evolutionary reason for our butts, and how does your brain know that you, are you?
