Описание: For many New Yorkers of a certain age, mention of Lewisohn Stadium conjures many fond memories of concerts of beautiful music performed in most cases by the New York Philharmonic Orchestra on warm summer evenings outdoors. Music for the American People: The Lewisohn Stadium Concerts brings back those memories while introducing them to those who are either too young to remember or were born years after the Stadium’s razing in 1973. Although several books discuss either the early years of the Stadium Concerts or the life of Stadium Concerts Chairperson Minnie Guggenheimer, this is the first book ever to discuss the concerts themselves. In particular, the book focuses on the conductors, soloists, and repertoire in a way never undertaken before by any scholar. While the book explores the Stadium Concerts classical orchestra canon to a large extent, author Jonathan Stern emphasizes in particular the effect the festival had on American music. The book discusses how the Stadium Concerts began in an era in which American classical music was championed like it rarely has been. It also makes the case that the Stadium Concerts may have done more for contemporary American music than any other musical institution of the early twentieth century through its frequent advocacy of the music of George Gershwin. This advocacy was soon taken up by other summer orchestra festivals that were founded after the birth of the Stadium Concerts. Among these festivals were the Hollywood Bowl Concerts, Tanglewood, Ravinia, and the Robin Hood Dell concerts, all of which are also discussed towards the end of the book. Readers will also learn how the Stadium Concerts coped with the challenges faced by America in general, not only surviving wars and the Great Depression but even thriving artistically and otherwise during these troubling times. Lewisohn Stadium was a summer home away from home for millions of New Yorkers, enabling them to put aside their differences and join together in enjoying great music performed by many of the world’s leading performers. In an era when people from all walks of life sought to better themselves in ways not often seen today, New Yorkers often said to each other, “Meet me at the Stadium.” As such, Music for the American People: The Lewisohn Stadium Concerts fills a much-needed void in music and New York City scholarship while recounting a particularly happy chapter in the history of New York City culture.
Описание: Medicine Across Cultures: The History and Practice of Medicine in Non-Western Cultures consists of 19 essays dealing with the medical knowledge and beliefs of cultures outside of the United States and Europe. In addition to articles surveying Islamic, Chinese, Native American, Aboriginal Australian, Indian, Egyptian, and Tibetan medicine, the book includes essays on comparing Chinese and western medicine and religion and medicine. The essays address the connections between medicine and culture and relate the medical practices to the cultures which produced them. Each essay is well illustrated and contains an extensive bibliography. Because the geographic range is global, the book fills a gap in both the history of medicine and in cultural studies. It should find a place on the bookshelves of advanced undergraduate students, graduate students, and scholars, as well as in libraries serving those groups.
In 1996 Karen suffered the abrupt beginnings of a perplexing disease very similar to Mogellons (today's unexplained disease). Her book chronicles the years she battled this "thing" by turning to alternative medicine. As a trained Registered Nurse, this was at first anaathema to her but she delved and explored and became open to an all new way to wholeness and wellness. Her belief in the living God and his mercy, kindness, and forgiveness shines a path throughout her book and will give inspiration to many.

Karen's impetus for writing this book is to open the same gate for others who may be afflicted with similar circumstances. Her belief in the living God and his mercy, kindness and forgiveness shines a path throughout her book and will give inspiration to many.

"The thesis of this book is the interconnectedness of all nature, human and plant kingdoms, and the underlying connection of a first principle which unites everything and from which and to which everything returns. We shall go on to discuss the four elements and humours and how the planets weave these differing energies through the vegetable and animal kingdoms which show us how Spirit is expressed in the plant, in the person and in the dis-ease." --from the author
