Musicophilia Knopf,
October, 2007 by Dr.
Oliver Sacks Click
Here to Order Music can move us to the heights
or depths of emotion. It can persuade us to buy something,
or remind us of our first date. It can lift us out of
depression when nothing else can. It can get us dancing
to its beat. But the power of music goes much, much further.
Indeed, music occupies more areas of our brain than language
does—humans are a musical species.
Oliver Sacks's compassionate, compelling tales of people
struggling to adapt to different neurological conditions
have fundamentally changed the way we think about our
brains, and of the human experience. In this book he examines
the powers of music through the individual experiences
of patients, musicians, and and everyday people-from a
man who is struck by lightning and suddenly inspired to
become a pianist at teh age of forty-two, to an entire
group of children with William's Syndrome, who are hypermusical
from birth to people with "amusia", to whom
a symphony sounds like the clattering of pots and pans,
to a man whose memory spans only seven seconds-for everything
but music.

Rhythm
and Transforms Springer
Publishing, August, 2007 by
William A. Sethares Click
Here to Order People quite
naturally identify the rhythmic structure of music as
they tap their feet and sway in time with the beat. Underlying
such mundane motions is an act of cognition that is not
easily reproduced in a computer program or automated by
machine. Rhythm and Transforms asks (and answers) the
question: How can we build a device that can "tap
its foot" along with the music? Accompanying the
text of Rhythm and Transforms is a CD containing a wide
range of audio examples that convincingly demonstrate
the book’s ideas. In addition, the inclusion of
a suite of programs (a Matlab® "toolbox")
will allow readers to reproduce many of the of these ideas’
results.
The
Chanter's Guide: Sacred Chanting As a Shamanic Practice
Act on Wisdom, January, 2007 by Victor Shamas, Ph.D. Click
Here to Order The Chanter's Guide reveals the basic
practices used by Chanters to bring healing to their loved
ones and their communities. It is also the story of the
author’s unique apprenticeship with a master shaman
named Dr. Pablo Singh, who practices the traditional form
of spiritual healing that he first learned at age five
while sitting in the ancient temples of Oaxaca, Mexico.
The specific shamanic insights and techniques shared with
the author by Dr. Singh have specific relevance to modern
times. When applied with the proper intention, they can
produce astonishing results, starting with your own healing
and—if Chanter prophesy is realized—culminating
in a revolutionary shift in global politics, economics,
and environmental policy.
Math for Mystics: from the Fibonacci sequence to Luna's
Labyrinth to the Golden Section and Other Secrets of Sacred
Geometry Weiser Books, April,
2007 by Renna Shesso
Click
Here to Order Much of what
we know as math comes to us directly from early astronomer
magi who needed to be able to describe and record what
they saw in the night sky. Everyone needed math: whether
you were the king's court astrologer or a farmer marking
the best time for planting, timekeeping and numbers really
mattered. Mistake a numerical pattern of petals and you
could poison yourself. Lose the rhythm of a sacred dance
or the meter of a ritually told story and the intricately
woven threads that hold life together were spoiled. Ignore
the celestial clock of equinoxes and solstices, and you'd
risk being caught short of food for the winter.
