The Mythic Artery
Music as therapy has been a part of life since the beginning of recorded history. Music therapy as a profession is about 30 years old. This book, in a sense, is paradox. It is an attempt to touch the essence of music in the fullness of all her healing powers, to describe that which cannot be described. This attempt is made in the spirit of appreciation and perhaps as a tribute to the mind of man. Words can never reach far enough into music to touch her essence. However, with the trying, our words will become more musical, our respect and wonder more absorbing, our understanding of music deeper. Allow your soul to join the massive mythic artery which carries us to the essence of life and the human spirit, connecting us to all of life, before and after, around and in us, from the first moment of creation through all the transformations beyond time and space. For this is the healing experience of music. - Foreword & preface.

Contemporary Voices in Music Therapy
As you read through the essays in this collection you will become familiar with music therapists who are interested in cultural dialogue. The book includes essays on communication, culture, and community, as well as reports and columns from fourteen countries around the world. Perhaps culture is some kind of last frontier and therefore one we approach with fear, trepidation and a degree of anxiety? This last frontier reaches into the core of who we are as human beings. It ventures into the complexities of identity, not only individual, but group identities. It shapes our territories, our homes. It determines our music, our healing practices. And to make it even more potentially threatening, ...

Living Indigenous Leadership
Indigenous scholars strive to produce research to improve Native communities in meaningful ways. They also recognize that long-lasting change depends on effective leadership. Living Indigenous Leadership showcases innovative research and leadership practices from diverse nations and tribes in Canada, the United States, and New Zealand. The contributors use storytelling to highlight the distinctive nature of Indigenous leadership. Native leaders, whether formal or informal, ground their work in embodied concepts such as land, story, ancestors, and elders, and their leadership style finds its most powerful expression in collaboration, in the teaching and example of Eders, and in community projects to promote higher education, language revitalization, health care, and the preservation of Indigenous arts. This inspiring collection not only adds indigenous methods to studies on leadership, it also gives a voice to the wives, mothers, and grandmothers who are using their knowledge to mend hearts and minds and to build strong communities.
Grudge Tiger
A novel inspired by real events... Beware of tiger... and her lawyer. The Warrens aren't your average family-they live at a zoo. When their Bengal tiger, Ms. Benni, mauls an "aspiring model," the young man's multi-million-dollar lawsuit threatens to cripple their lifetime passion-caring for their beloved animals. The family's prospects to win at the jury trial look bleak, in spite of the fact that the young man deliberately walked into Ms. Benni's cage. When all appears lost for the family, their lawyer stumbles upon a creative defense. If she can fly to London within the judge's shortened time frame and get the tiger expert's testimony on video and prove to the jury that Ms. Benni is a grudge tiger with a reason for her vengeance, they have one shot at winning. If she fails, the Warrens lose everything.
