"Who is playing that beautiful music in the subway? And why is
nobody listening?"
This gorgeous picture book is based on the true story of Joshua
Bell, the renowned American violinist who famously took his
instrument down into the Washington D.C. subway for a free concert.
More than a thousand commuters rushed by him, but only seven
stopped to listen for more than a minute. In "The Man With the
Violin," bestselling author Kathy Stinson has woven a heart-warming
story that reminds us all to stop and appreciate the beauty that
surrounds us.
Dylan is someone who notices things. His mom is someone who
doesn't. So try as he might, Dylan can't get his mom to listen to
the man playing the violin in the subway station. But Dylan is
swept away by the soaring and swooping notes that fill the air as
crowds of oblivious people rush by. With the beautiful music in his
head all day long, Dylan can't forget the violinist, and finally
succeeds in making his mother stop and listen, too.
Vividly imagined text combined with illustrations that pulse
with energy and movement expertly demonstrate the transformative
power of music. With an afterword explaining Joshua Bell's story,
and a postscript by Joshua Bell himself.
In the West at the turn of the twentieth century, public
understanding of science and the world was shaped in part by
expeditions to Asia, North America, and the Pacific. The
Anthropology of Expeditions draws together contributions from
anthropologists and historians of science to explore the role of
these journeys in natural history and anthropology between
approximately 1890 and 1930. By examining collected materials as
well as museum and archive records, the contributors to this volume
shed light on the complex social life and intimate work practices
of the researchers involved in these expeditions. At the same time,
the contributors also demonstrate the methodological challenges and
rewards of studying these legacies and provide new insights for the
history of collecting, history of anthropology, and histories of
expeditions. Offering fascinating insights into the nature of
expeditions and the human relationships that shaped them, The
Anthropology of Expeditions sets a new standard for the field.
