  No art form is as widely discussed—or as readily available—as music. With the click of just a few buttons, modern humans can decide what they think of the brand-new Beyoncé just as quickly as they can form opinions on Brahms or the Beatles or Bob Dylan. But things weren't always this way. In this brisk, breakneck history, award-winning musician and broadcaster Andrew Ford dives into the constant evolutions and reinventions that have led to the popularity and accessibility of modern music. Ford explores: 
   
   
   
  ● Why playing history's earliest example of notated music—clay tablets from 1400 BCE Syria—doesn't produce a consistent sound 
   
   
   
  ● How colonization and the slave trade led to one region in West Africa having an unparalleled influence on world music 
   
   
   
  ● How clerical and royal support allowed early composers to invent the symphony 
   
   
   
  ● What leads humans to make music in the first place—and why music plays such a massive role in our culture. 
   
   
   
  The Shortest History of Music takes us on a lively tour through several thousands of years of music history, tracing our relationship with this essential art and allowing us to freshly appreciate and understand music today.

  The science behind hugging. Dr. Stone's prescription is for a twenty-one-second hug today and every day. One of the many benefits of hugging is that longer hugs have proven physiological benefits.

  Hug Therapy brings to life the meaning of hugging. In this book, you will discover what it means to really, truly give yourself and others the profound gift of a hug; how to be powerfully in action and more aware of what matters to you most; that you may choose to begin hugging some strangers . . . with their blessing of course; and perhaps most importantly, that together, one literal or metaphorical hug at a time, we make the world a better, healthier, and more connected place. 
   
   
   
  Embrace life. Hug Therapy shares a full-on, unconditional hug from Dr. Stone Kraushaar. In this book, he invites you to wrap your arms around yourself, your life, and everyone around you in a whole new way. A good embrace—a hug—squeezes every ounce of fear, worry, and negativity out of your spirit, leaving you with nothing but warmth, inner peace, and a feeling of connection.

  A Rare Recording of Iva Toguri...

  "Tokyo Rose" Iva Toguri

  The following are live recordings of Japanese-American Iva Toguri, of "Tokyo Rose" infamy. Tokyo Rose was a generic name given by Allied troops in the South Pacific during World War II to all female English-speaking radio broadcasters of Japanese propaganda. In fact, the name "Tokyo Rose" was never actually used by any Japanese broadcaster, but rather first appeared in U.S. newspapers in 1943 in the context of these radio programs. Toguri had traveled to Japan to tend to a sick aunt just prior to the attack on Pearl Harbor. Unable to leave the country when war began with the United States, unable to stay with her aunt's family as an American citizen, and unable to receive any aid from her parents who were placed in internment camps in Arizona, Toguri eventually accepted a job as a part-time typist at Radio Tokyo. She was quickly recruited as a broadcaster for the propagandist program The Zero Hour, under the moniker, Orphan Ann. The name Tokyo Rose ceased to be merely a symbol, however, during September 1945 when Toguri attempted to return to the United States. Toguri was arrested and imprisoned for a year in Japan by American authorities. She was subsequently freed, then arrested again two years later. After being returned to the US, Toguri was tried and convicted of one count of treason, in a trial fraught with integrity issues and dubious testimony. Toguri was eventually paroled from prison in 1956, and finally received a pardon from President Gerald Ford in 1977.

  Native American Mythology - Gods...

  Native American mythology offers a rich tapestry of stories that convey the spiritual and cultural heritage of the indigenous peoples of North America. These myths, rooted in oral traditions, have been passed down through generations, serving as both entertainment and a means of preserving the values, history, and beliefs of their communities. By delving into these narratives, one gains a deeper understanding of how Native Americans viewed the world, their relationship with nature, and their connection to the divine.  
  Unlike written records, Native American myths were shared through storytelling, ceremonies, and rituals. This oral tradition allowed stories to evolve, adapting to the needs and experiences of each generation. Despite their variations, these myths often shared common themes: the creation of the world, the interconnectedness of all living beings, and the moral lessons intended to guide individuals and communities.  
  Central to many of these stories is the reverence for nature and its elements. Native American tribes saw the natural world not as a resource to be exploited but as a sacred system in which every being—whether animal, plant, or element—played a vital role. The wind, sun, moon, and stars were not mere phenomena but active participants in the world’s story, often personified as gods, spirits, or ancestors.
