 Buddhism: A Concise Introduction -- book review
Huston Smith and Philip Novak (described on the book’s jacket as “two luminaries in the field of world religions”) have succeeded in giving that taste without talking down to the intellectuals who like to make Buddhism their playground.
As Smith and Novak correctly state: "All religions are paradoxical." When the Infinite takes form and is squeezed into the Finite, all attempts by the finite mind to comprehend and explain it will have to be, by their very nature, false in some way.
But if one fixes, as Smith and Novak have done, on the life and basic teachings of the Buddha for a compass, the subject can be contained and understood even by such a layperson as this reviewer.

 Center for Cultural Sociology > Annual Conference 2004   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
While a competition closely resembles the ritual of the concert hall, its proceedings highlight issues of the performance craft and reveal the social processes and cultural structures that construct the role of the performer.
In other words, the competition can illuminate how the role of the musician is conceived and the strategies of performing this role effectively to the relevant audiences.
Through this analysis, I hope to "bring musicians back in" and make a case for social performance theory as a promising new direction in music sociology.

 Classical Voice of North Carolina
Glennie is such a brilliant musician that even if you aren't thrilled with a program of contemporary music for banging instruments, to experience this phenomenon is not to be missed.
Glennie, who plays the entire range of formally designated percussion instruments - and just about anything else she can strike - has created a classical musical genre, having as of this date commissioned herself or had commissioned for her 51 concertos, 56 recital pieces, 17 concert pieces and 2 percussion ensemble works.
Even most of us trained as musicians are not sufficiently conversant with the complex of rhythms and polyrhythms that make up these pieces to apprehend their subtleties at first hearing, much less speak about them analytically.

Maazel's performance was a reminder to even doubtful listeners that at his best he is a formidable musician and a commanding technician with seemingly unlimited stamina.
