Book excerpt: For Libby, expert in whale and dolphin communication, the job in New Zealand seemed perfect. She could provide a settled home for her daughter Bree, while she studied the marine creatures she loved in on of the world's last unspoilt places. And when she met John-Cody Gibbs, who had an understanding of the wildlife of the place so profound that it was almost magical, it seemed as if she might at last have found the man she could share her life with. But John-Cody was still grieving the loss of Mahina, the woman he had loved for more than twenty years, and who had taught him all he knew. He had a dark secret in his past, and enemies who were more than ready to use it to destroy his earthly paradise. It took a dangerous voyage into the mountainous seas of the Southern Ocean and a mystical encounter with the whales to give him the freedom Mahina had wanted for him. The story of new-found love in a setting of unforgettable majesty, and a visionary journey into the living heart of the natural world.

This book was released on 2016-03-03 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The use of irony in music is just beginning to be defined and critiqued, although it has been used, implied and decried by composers, performers, listeners and critics for centuries. Irony in popular music is especially worthy of study because it is pervasive, even fundamental to the music, the business of making music and the politics of messaging. Contributors to this collection address a variety of musical ironies found in the ’notes themselves,’ in the text or subtext, and through performance, reception and criticism. The chapters explore the linkages between irony and the comic, the tragic, the remembered, the forgotten, the co-opted, and the resistant. From the nineteenth to twenty-first centuries, through America, Europe and Asia, this provocative range of ironies course through issues of race, religion, class, the political left and right, country, punk, hip hop, folk, rock, easy listening, opera and the technologies that make possible our pop music experience. This interdisciplinary volume creates new methodologies and applies existing theories of irony to musical works that have made a cultural or political impact through the use of this most multifaceted of devices.
