Designed as a tribute to world-renowned ethnomusicologist Bruno Nettl, this volume explores the ways in which ethnomusicologists are contributing to the larger task of investigating music history. The fifteen contributors explore topics ranging from meetings with the Suyá Indians of Brazil to the German-speaking Jewish community of Israel; from Indian music in Felicity, Trinidad, to Ravi Shankar's role as cultural mediator. "This book is unique not only for its approach but also for the scope of its content. . . . It is definitely a must for libraries of research centers and institutions with ethnomusicology programs." -- Choice

Music \= Cultures in Contact

Most of the poems in this book were written before its title "Poems For Yuppies" occurred to the author. Only recently did he have the idea of using the yuppie theme to tie some of his verses together. While most of the poems are "verbal cartoons," a few are not.

Poems for Yuppies (and Also for Normal People)

In this anthology of original poetry, Blum, a self-described yuppie, presents a collection of verses, most of them (in his words) "verbal cartoons," that define and make fun of this unique sub-culture. A tongue-in-cheek introduction and notes accompanying the poems contribute significantly to this "mission. The book includes a handful of the non-humorous shorter poems are meant to be wistful, whimsical, or scary.
