The book thus brings together avant-garde composers such as Elliot Carter, Pierre Boulez, and Karlheinz Stockhausen; originators of electro-acoustic music such as François Bayle, Pauline Oliveros, Iannis Xenakis, and Peter Zinovieff; Minimalist and Fluxus-inspired artists such as Tony Conrad, Phill Niblock, Yoko Ono, Steve Reich, and Terry Riley; as well figures such as Brian Eno, Kraftwerk, Arto Lindsay, and Caetano Veloso. Their contributions map the evolution of the musical field, from early experiments in concrete and abstract music, to the electronic development and the hybridization between Pop and avant-garde culture.

"[. . .] chronicles the various companies set up by would-be colonisers, culminating in the New Zealand Company, which was to send emigrants to the other side of the world, sometimes with no land ready for them to settle. From Du Burns's careful and scholarly work emerges a tale of ambition, intrigue, greed and folly. We learn of the true motives behind the high-sounding phrases, and of the fatal influence of the Wakefield brothers on the development of the colony - with far-teaching effects on relations between Maori and Pakeha as well as attitudes to the Treaty of Waitangi." - from dust-jacket blurb.

Hardcover. Zustand: As New. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: As New. Bright, clean & tight copy, unread, in FINE / AS NEW condition. 1095pp. "America is a nation making itself up as it goes along--a story of discovery and invention unfolding in speeches and images, letters and poetry, unprecedented feats of scholarship and imagination. In these myriad, multiform, endlessly changing expressions of the American experience, the authors and editors of this volume find a new American history. [] In more than two hundred original essays, A NEW LITERARY HISTORY OF AMERICA brings together the nation's many voices. From the first conception of a New World in the sixteenth century to the latest re-envisioning of that world in cartoons, television, science fiction, and hip hop, the book gives us a new, kaleidoscopic view of what 'Made in America' means. Literature, music, film, art, history, science, philosophy, political rhetoric--cultural creations of every kind appear in relation to each other, and to the time and place that give them shape. [] The meeting of minds is extraordinary as T. J. Clark writes on Jackson Pollock, Paul Muldoon on Carl Sandburg, Camille Paglia on Tennessee Williams, Sarah Vowell on Grant Wood's American Gothic, Walter Mosley on hard-boiled detective fiction, Jonathan Lethem on Thomas Edison, Gerald Early on Tarzan, Bharati Mukherjee on The Scarlet Letter, Gish Jen on Catcher in the Rye, and Ishmael Reed on Huckleberry Finn. From Anne Bradstreet and John Winthrop to Philip Roth and Toni Morrison, from Alexander Graham Bell and Stephen Foster to Alcoholics Anonymous, Life, Chuck Berry, Alfred Hitchcock, and Ronald Reagan, this is America singing, celebrating itself, and becoming something altogether different, plural, singular, new." [jacket copy] "This magnificent volume is a vast, inquisitive, richly surprising and consistently enlightening wallow in our national history and culture . . . Neither reference nor criticism, neither history nor treatise, but a genre-defying, transcendent fusion of them all. It sounds impossible, but the result seems both inevitable and necessary and profoundly welcome, too . . . This book is not so much a history of our literature as it is a literary version of our history, told through the culture we've created to recount our past and conjure our future . . . In the age of Wikipedia, a reference book like this needs more than just the facts; it needs to tell us what the facts mean, and A NEW LITERARY HISTORY OF AMERICA does just that."--Laura Miller, Salon. "It's hard to imagine anyone right up to full professor failing to get excitement from this charged grid of event and interpretation . . . Hats off, though, to the editors above all, for constructing a volume where each element reinforces every other, often by contradicting it, so that the whole vast book is more exciting than even its most impressive part."--Adam Mars-Jones, The Observer. "This hefty yet invigorating anthology of 225 new essays about American culture and history is perfect for the hard-to-please smarty-pants."--Time Out New York. "[An] essential, eclectic doorstop anthology."--New York Magazine.

Dr. P.K. Dandasena, having served in the Department of History of Government Autonomous College, Bhawanipatna, Odisha for more than two decades, retired from Government Service on 31st December 2013. Students and teachers of the Department felt it necessary to publish a felicitation volume on him. Thirteen articles on diverse topics of Orissa history and culture, ably drafted by our young faculties and senior scholars are selected for this volume. Papers are arranged chronologically as far as possible notwithstanding a big sequential hiatus among different topics belonging to the ancient, medieval and modern Odisha history and culture. The volume thus deals with ancient fort settlement technology, political aspect, fairs and festivals, temple architecture, economic condition, personalities of modern Odisha. Dalit politics, life style of the Kond tribe and last but not the least, historiography of Odisha. It is hoped that the book would cater to the academic and inquisitive need of students, scholars and interested readers. (jacket).
