From the very beginning, music has helped us create our world – everything from language, to technology, to philosophy and religion. The Art of Ancient Music discusses the important role music has played in shaping human development. While emphasizing shared human themes, the text has a special focus on the rise of Western music in the ancient Near East, the Bible, and the Classical worlds. A final chapter provides a discussion of the way music helped bridge the gap between the ancient world and the Middle Ages, especially in the guise of Church music.

The Fundamentalist Mindset

Psychological Perspectives on Religion, Violence, and History

By: Charles B. Strozier,David M. Terman,James W. Jones,Katherine A. Boyd

This penetrating book sheds light on the psychology of fundamentalism, with a particular focus on those who become extremists and fanatics. What accounts for the violence that emerges among some fundamentalist groups? The contributors to this book identify several factors: a radical dualism, in which all aspects of life are bluntly categorized as either good or evil; a destructive inclination to interpret authoritative texts, laws, and teachings in the most literal of terms; an extreme and totalized conversion experience; paranoid thinking; and an apocalyptic world view. After examining each of these concepts in detail, and showing the ways in which they lead to violence among widely disparate groups, these engrossing essays explore such areas as fundamentalism in the American experience and among jihadists, and they illuminate aspects of the same psychology that contributed to such historical crises as the French Revolution, the Nazi movement, and post-Partition Hindu religious practice.

Hitler's Millennial Reich

Apocalyptic Belief and the Search for Salvation

By: David Redles

David Redles offers a view of the impact and potential for millenarian movements, illustrating how Hitler's apocalyptic prophecy of a coming 'final battle' with the so-called 'Jewish-Bolsheviks', one that was conceived to be a 'war of annihilation', was transformed into an equally eschatological 'Final Solution'.

The Limits of Labour

Class Formation and the Labour Movement in Calgary, 1883-1929

By: David Bright

In a few short decades before the First World War, Calgary was transformed from a frontier outpost into a complex industrial metropolis. With industrialization there emerged a diverse and equally complex working class. David Bright explores the various levels of class formation and class identity in the city to argue that Calgary's reputation as a prewar centre of labour conservatism is in need of revision.
