Book excerpt: An interesting and readable book about the master musicians of the medieval Islamic world.Taking as its subject the world of medieval Islamic music, Three Master Musicians deals with the three men who led artistic life in Abbasid Baghdad in the 9th century. Two of these men were Ibrahim al-Mawsili and his son Ishaq who were musicians to caliphs and aristocrats and kept the equivalent of a latter day academy of music. The third man featured in Dr. Caswell's new book is Ibrahim ibn al-Mahdi - a remarkable musician for his time. He was the son of a caliph and the uncle of several caliphs (and he himself held the caliphate of Baghdad for a brief spell being known as the Black Caliph due to his colour). Ibrahim ibn al-Mahdi was a wonderful musician with a formidable vocal range who popularised singing and is said to have created the 'modern' mode of Arabic singing.Three Master Musicians is an in-depth look at the medieval music makers who changed Arabic music forever.

Book excerpt: Drawing on his extensive experience as a coach and world champion athlete, bestselling author Dan Millman reveals a path to success not only in sports but in any life endeavor that requires training and the integration of the body and mind — from golf and tennis to playing the piano. Body Mind Mastery is a revised and updated edition of Millman’s classic The Inner Athlete and includes a brand new Peaceful Warrior warmup, with photos and instructions on creating a daily exercise routine from Millman’s principles, as well as a new section on the aging athlete. Through personal experience, as well as anecdotes from teaching and coaching at such schools as Stanford, U.C. Berkeley, and Oberlin College, Millman directs the reader through the detailed process of attaining the optimum performance of body and mind, where “our minds are free of concern or anxiety, focused on the present moment; our bodies relaxed, sensitive, elastic, and aligned with gravity; our emotions free-flowing expression, uninhibited, spontaneous.” Body Mind Mastery includes overview chapters on developing mental, emotional, physical talent; practical chapters on training, competition, and the evolution of athletics; and Millman’s exploration of natural laws that govern mental and physical training. It is a seminal book that examines the psychology behind the search for athletic excellence, and shows anyone how to improve skills, accelerate learning, and unleash athletic potential. The skills it teaches are applicable in sports and daily life — transforming training into a path of personal growth and discovery.
