  During the past three decades, Iceland has attained a strong presence in the world through its musical culture, with images of the nation being packaged and shipped out in melodies, harmonies, and rhythms. What 'Iceland' means for people, both at home and abroad, is conditioned by music and its ability to animate notions of nature and nationality. In six chapters that range from discussions of indie rock ballads to 'Nordic noir' television music, Dissonant Landscapes describes the capacity of musical expression to transform ideas about nature and nationality on the northern edges of Europe.

  Tales of Faith - A Guide to...

  How can we share the Gospel and make disciples in our modern culture? Many people, including young people from Christian homes, are walking away from the faith, or have never had it presented to them in a compelling manner. However, our polemical, distracted media environment makes it difficult to have thoughtful discussions about anything. In this context, literature and the arts have a powerful role to play by providing an engaging and inviting way to share the Christian faith.  In Tales of Faith, Holly Ordway shows how literature—and especially old literature—can foster fruitful discussions that allow us to meet people where they are and help them move closer to knowing Christ, or to knowing and loving him more fully and deeply. Here, readers will find a practical, accessible guide to using literature to discuss topics such as the nature of God, virtues and vices, the Crucifixion, longing and sadness, and much more. For each literary text, Ordway provides an introductory essay, a selection from the text (or the whole poem for short pieces), questions for discussion or personal reflection, activities, and recommended resources.  Drawing from ancient classics like the Odyssey and the Aeneid and medieval masterpieces like Beowulf and the Divine Comedy, and providing both practical advice and spiritual guidance for the reader, Tales of Faith offers teachers, parents, and all lovers of classic literature an invaluable resource for sharing the faith through story.

  Britain's Secret Defences:...

  The narrative surrounding Britain's anti-invasion forces has often centered on "Dad's Army"-like characters running around with pitchforks, on unpreparedness and sense of inevitability of invasion and defeat. The truth, however, is very different. 
   
   
   
  Top-secret, highly trained civilian volunteers were being recruited as early as the summer of 1940. Had the Germans attempted an invasion they would have been countered by saboteurs and guerrilla fighters emerging from secret bunkers, and monitored by swathes of spies and observers who would have passed details on via runners, wireless operators, and ATS women in disguised bunkers. Alongside these secret forces, the Home Guard were also setting up their own "guerrilla groups," and SIS (MI6) were setting up post-occupation groups of civilians to act as sabotage cells, wireless operators, and assassins had the Nazis taken control of the country. 
   
   
   
  The civilians involved in these groups understood the need for absolute secrecy and their commitment to keeping quiet meant that most went to their grave without ever telling anyone of their role. There has been no official and little public recognition of what these dedicated men and women were willing to do for their country in its hour of need, and after over eighty years of silence the time has come to highlight their remarkable role.

  Back to Me - The Global Art of...

  Back to Me: The Global Art of Talking Without Listening is a sharp, funny, and globally informed exploration of how modern conversation has drifted into chaos. Quentin Drummond Anderson examines why, in a world louder than ever, silence has become the rarest sound — and listening an endangered skill. Drawing on a lifetime of cross-cultural experience, he takes readers from Tokyo to London, New York to Riyadh, revealing how every society has its own choreography of speech, interruption, and performance. 
  In Britain, conversation is a “polite ambush,” wrapped in apologies. Americans interrupt with enthusiasm, mistaking passion for empathy. Italians talk all at once, turning dialogue into an affectionate opera. In France, interruption is a duel; in the Nordic nations, silence is authority. Across Asia and the Middle East, measured speech and generous dialogue show how listening can still be an art. 
  Anderson dissects the conversational species of our age — from Interruptus Maximus to the Armchair Philosopher, from the Monologue Society to the Name Dropper — with the precision of a zoologist and the wit of a novelist. His analysis exposes not just how we speak, but what our habits reveal about insecurity, identity, and the universal hunger to be heard. 
  Yet Back to Me is ultimately hopeful. Anderson argues that beneath the noise lies the possibility of civility, humility, and curiosity — if we choose to reclaim them. “When everyone shouts,” he writes, “wisdom whispers.” 
  Insightful, cosmopolitan, and often laugh-out-loud funny, Back to Me is a timely guide to understanding how we lost the ability to listen — and how we might find it again.
