Noto of Java
Java is never what it seems to be. It is lush and beautiful, yet the volcanoes that dotted the island from west to east clearly hid the explosive power in its belly, often exploding as if to remind those living nearby that there are powers bigger than any human can muster. The Javanese, the largest tribe residing on the island also reflect this hidden dichotomy. Calm and pleasant and yet on occasion had been known to savagely killed thousands of its own for the same of ideology or religion. Most Javanese avowed to be Muslims, yet older Hindu-Buddhist rituals are often performed without question. This inability to break with the past makes the Javanese often derided by people from other tribe...
Noto of Java Ii
The wedding of the century between Noto and Yanti was supposed to make the tie between the two kingdoms that much closer, yet it also makes the people of Solo realize just how well-off the people of Jogya truly are. They have their beloved sultan actually working for them, managing the province ably, while the sunan of Solo is basically powerless outside the palace wall. The people demanded that the two kingdoms be merged. The solution made Noto the crown prince of both kingdoms, a position that will eventually make him the king of the new kingdom, the Kingdom of New Mataram. Notos struggle with Nyai Roro Kidul escalated as he proceeded to destroy all the ill-gotten accursed weapons in the armories of Jogya and Solo. Notos attempt to rid of superstitions from among the Javanese while not falling into the clasp of Muslim fundamentalism forced him to thread a fine line guided by several of his elders.

A Critical Survey of Studies on the Languages of Java and Madura
At the completion of this critical bibliography which forms another step in the direction of the realization of the bibliographical project inaugurated in 1955 by Dr. Voorhoeve's survey of the languages of Sumatra, I acknowledge with gratitude the valuable assistance received from various people. I am indebted to my colleagues Prof. Dr. G. W. J. Drewes, Dr. J. Noorduyn, Dr. Th. Pigeaud, Prof. Dr. A. Teeuw and Dr. P. Voorhoeve, who read all or part of the manuscript and who generously put their extensive knowledge of the Java languages at my disposal. Heartfelt thanks are due to Mr. B. J. Hoff and Mr. A. G. Sciarone, both members of my staff, who verified many of the biblio graphical details. I am grateful to the library of the University of Leiden and to the library of the Institute in The Hague because of their readiness in giving me all the facilities I needed for the preparation of this book. Most useful was the cordial assistance received from my colleague Prof. Dr. P. E. de Josselin de Jong, who spent much time correcting the many imperfections of my English text, which greatly promoted the readability of the narrative sections of this survey.

El instrumento musical
¿Qué hace que entendamos un objeto como instrumento: su capacidad de producir sonido o la intención de quien lo hace sonar? ¿Qué nos cuentan sobre la música los gestos del instrumentista y de qué forma la interpretamos en una grabación, cuando oímos sin ver? ¿Cómo ha cambiado el sonido con la llegada de la electricidad y lo digital? Wade Matthews reflexiona acerca de estas y otras cuestiones a lo largo de un minucioso recorrido por las múltiples y cambiantes relaciones entre el instrumento y la música, incluidos los gestos que articulan su sonido y su expresividad. El libro explora la historia de los principales instrumentos musicales, desde las flautas de hueso del Paleolítico hasta los modernos sintetizadores actuales, y, por ende, también de la música, los mitos y las ideas que surgen alrededor de ellos. Además, estudia la revolución musical que supuso el surgimiento del mundo digital, el pensamiento binario de los ordenadores y la era de la información. Compuesto por una amplia variedad de enfoques, experiencias y reflexiones, El instrumento musical es un cuaderno de exploración para cualquiera que tenga un espíritu curioso y creativo.
