Delving into the cultural and musical significance of Dr. John's "Gris-Gris," the book offers a forensic analysis of this iconic LP. It explores the rich tapestry of New Orleans culture, the fusion of various musical styles, and the spiritual themes interwoven throughout the album. By examining the context of its creation and the artist's unique persona, the narrative reveals how "Gris-Gris" transcends mere music to become a profound statement on identity and heritage.

"You've been preparing for this moment for years--but as a Christian parent, you are well aware of the kind of ideological indoctrination that takes place on most college campuses. Will your child make it through the next four years with his faith intact? This is a question syndicated radio host Stephen Arterburn hears regularly from his listeners. In Understanding and Loving Your College Student, he teams with life coach James Phillis to help parents develop in their kids a love for God that encompasses their heart, soul, mind, and strength and a love for their neighbors on campus, as well as themselves. This book will help parents of kids still in junior high or high school lay a solid groundwork for living out their faith, offer tools for helping your child select the right school, including financial aid tips, help you let go of the reins of your child's life as he becomes an adult (and makes mistakes in the process), and help you transition from having a child in your home to having a relationship with the adult you have raised.

In the 1970s David Toop became preoccupied with the possibility that music was no longer bounded by formalities of audience: the clapping, the booing, the short attention span, the demand for instant gratification. Considering sound and listening as foundational practices in themselves leads music into a thrilling new territory: stretched time, wilderness, video monitors, singing sculptures, weather, meditations, vibration and the interior resonance of objects, interspecies communications, instructional texts, silent actions, and performance art. Toop sought to document the originality and unfamiliarity of this work from his perspective as a practitioner and writer. The challenge was to do so without being drawn back into the domain of music while still acknowledging the vitality and hybridity of twentieth-century musics as they moved toward art galleries, museums, and site-specificity. Toop focused on practitioners, whose stories are as compelling as the theoretical and abstract implications of their works. 'Inflamed Invisible' collects more than four decades of David Toop's essays, reviews, interviews, and experimental texts, drawing us into the company of artists and their concerns, not forgetting the quieter, unsung voices. The volume is an offering, an exploration of strata of sound that are the crossing points of sensory, intellectual, and philosophical preoccupations, layers through which objects, thoughts and air itself come alive as the inflamed invisible
