Are We an Accident...or Not? The question of cosmic origins and our
place in the grand scheme of things has been debated for millennia.
Why do we exist? Why does anything exist at all? Today's popular
narrative, based on advancements in science, is that it all
happened by natural, random processes. Melissa Cain Travis points
to powerful evidence that the opposite is true-that cosmology,
astronomy, biochemistry, and other disciplines strongly support
what she calls "The Maker Thesis," which explains the origin,
rationality, and intricacy of nature and the human mind's capacity
to comprehend it. Our universe is made up of numerous complex
systems of order that both interact and coexist with each other as
if in a carefully choreographed dance. Follow along on a
fascinating journey about how the structure of nature and the mind
of man resonate in ways that point to a Maker who fully intended
the astounding discoveries being made in the natural sciences
today.
Community Music in Oceania: Many Voices, One Horizon makes a
distinctive contribution to the field of community music through
the experiences of its editors and contributors in music education,
ethnomusicology, music therapy, and music performance. Covering a
wide range of perspectives from Australia, Timor-Leste, New
Zealand, Japan, Fiji, China, Taiwan, Malaysia, Singapore, and
Korea, the essays raise common themes in terms of the pedagogies
and practices used, pointing collectively toward one horizon of
approach. Yet, contrasts emerge in the specifics of how community
musicians fit within the musical ecosystems of their cultural
contexts. Book chapters discuss the maintenance and
recontextualization of music traditions, the lingering impact of
colonization, the growing demands for professionalization of
community music, the implications of government policies, tensions
between various ethnic groups within countries, and the role of
institutions such as universities across the region. One of the
aims of this volume is to produce an intricate and illuminating
picture that highlights the diversity of practices, pedagogies, and
research currently shaping community music in the Asia Pacific.
