Higher Education and Lifelong Learning

The Study of Folk Music in the Modern World
"[This book] is a contribution of considerable substance because it takes a holistic view of the field of folk music and the scholarship that has dealt with it." -- Bruno Nettl "... a praiseworthy combination of solid scholarship, penetrating discussion, and global relevance." -- Asian Folklore Studies "... successfully ties the history and development of folk music scholarship with contemporary concepts, issues, and shifts, and which treats varied folk musics of the world cultures within the rubric of folklore and ethnomusicology with subtle generalizations making sense to serious minds... " -- Folklore Forum "... [this book] challenges many carefully-nurtured sacred cows. Bohlman has executed an intellectual challenge of major significance by successfully organizing a welter of unruly data and ideas into a single, appropriately complex but coherent, system." -- Folk Music Journal Bohlman examines folk music as a genre of folklore from a broadly cross-cultural perspective and espouses a more expansive view of folk music, stressing its vitality in non-Western cultures as well as Western, in the present as well as the past.

Abafi
Witness the story of Abafi, a Hungarian knight who transforms from a selfish and unscrupulous man to a kind and noble individual who prioritizes the well-being of others. Follow him as he makes difficult life decisions and searches for his true love. Experience the tale that profoundly influenced Nikola Tesla, as he recounts in his autobiography, "My Inventions." Tesla states that reading this book "somehow awakened my dormant powers of will, and I began to practice self-control. At first, my resolutions faded like snow in April, but eventually, I conquered my weakness and felt a pleasure I had never known before—the pleasure of doing as I willed." For the first time, this influential book is available to the English-speaking community in a complete and comprehensive translation. Newly updated with a fresh cover and meticulously edited to eliminate spelling and grammar mistakes, this edition brings Abafi's transformative journey to a broader audience.
