Community Music Today highlights community music workers who
constantly improvise and reinvent to lead through music and other
expressive media. It answers the perennial question "What is
community music?" through a broad, international palette of
contextual shades, hues, tones, and colors. With over fifty
musician/educators participating, the book explores community music
in global contexts, interconnections, and marginalized communities,
as well as artistry and social justice in performing ensembles.
This book is both a response to and a testimony of what music is
and can do, music's place in people's lives, and the many ways it
unites and marks communities. As documented in case studies,
community music workers may be musicians, teachers, researchers,
and activists, responding to the particular situations in which
they find themselves. Their voices are the threads of the
multifaceted tapestry of musical practices at play in formal,
informal, nonformal, incidental, and accidental happenings of
community music.

In 1712, English naturalist Mark Catesby (1683-1749) crossed the
Atlantic to Virginia. After a seven-year stay, he returned to
England with paintings of plants and animals he had studied. They
sufficiently impressed other naturalists that in 1722 several
Fellows of the Royal Society sponsored his return to North America.
There Catesby cataloged the flora and fauna of the Carolinas and
the Bahamas by gathering seeds and specimens, compiling notes, and
making watercolor sketches. Going home to England after five years,
he began the twenty-year task of writing, etching, and publishing
his monumental The Natural History of Carolina, Florida, and the
Bahama Islands. Mark Catesby was a man of exceptional courage and
determination combined with insatiable curiosity and multiple
talents. Nevertheless no portrait of him is known. The
international contributors to this volume review Catesby's
biography alongside the historical and scientific significance of
his work. Ultimately, this lavishly illustrated volume advances
knowledge of Catesby's explorations, collections, artwork, and
publications in order to reassess his importance within the
pantheon of early naturalists.
