A exploration of what "world music" actually means and an introduction to global sounds.

The No-Nonsense Guide to World Music

Present reality is transfigured when it encounters another world in this one, disseminating the miraculous in the ordinary every day to effect a process of limitless transformation and possibility. Here is living witness to the bounty of a God who is alive and ever-present in the universe and infinitely available to all, Christian or not. In all his grandeur he appears to the most ordinary, not just the giants of the faith, in his commitment of inextricability from the human race whom he calls beloved. Cross-pollinating the here and now with the extraordinary God of the Old and New Testaments, this chronicle marries memoir and academic research effortlessly. The capacity of God to do absolutely anything at any time for anyone without blowing his own trumpet, both masks and marks the power and extent of his love to improve human circumstances. Over a lifetime of difficulties, dreams, visions, miracles, and doctoral research on God as love itself, the author joins Job whose response to God after a prolonged encounter is, “I know that you can do anything, and no one can stop you” (Job 42:1).

Ordinary Life, Extraordinary God

A sweet and gentle story about sisters, trust, parrots, disappearing . . . and doing the right thing. Eight-year-old Izzy is more curious, playful and clumsy than her serious, grown-up sister Carrie. In fact Izzy is much more like Gran, an eccentric scientist who has a house full of weird and wonderful pets. But when one of Gran's experiments backfires, Izzy discovers that she has the ability to become invisible! That is, unless Perky the parrot is perched on her shoulder, or she has one of his feathers safely stowed in her pocket. Yikes! While Gran searches for an antidote, Izzy explores her invisibility - to her and Perky's amusement - but Mum, Dad and Carrie aren't impressed. Can Izzy prove that she is using her invisibility to help those around her, and regain her sister's trust?

Izzy the Invisible

Uns ist wichtig zu wissen, woher das Fleisch kommt, das auf unserem Teller liegt – aber wissen wir auch, wie das Tier starb? Louise Gray begibt sich auf die Suche nach einer Antwort: Sie beschließt, ein Jahr lang nur noch Fleisch von Tieren zu essen, die sie selbst getötet und zerlegt hat. Ihr Vorhaben führt sie aufs Land, sie beginnt, Austern zu knacken und Fische zu fangen, lernt schießen, geht auf die Jagd. Sie recherchiert über Industriefleisch und erkundet alternative Foodkonzepte. Das größte Tier, das sie erlegt, ist ein Rothirsch. Im Augenblick des Schusses kreisen ihre Gedanken um Verantwortung, Erwachsenwerden und die Beziehung zu ihrem Vater. Ihr Selbstversuch wird zu einer Auseinandersetzung mit dem Leben, dem Sterben und der eigenen Moral.
