I really don't know where to start, and clearly do not have words to express my absolute amazement with World Music: Diversity in Styles, Instruments, and Culture. I have spent many hours reading every chapter and watching/listening to the video/audio links and repeatedly said, out loud to myself, "Wow!" (And the author includes succinct PowerPoints for each chapter without even mentioning them!) His concept for organizing the book and chapters is beyond impressive - I don't know how he did it! He must have spent hours and hours researching and studying materials, and then to present them in such a clear and engaging manner, I find truly remarkable. I learned SO much! To start with Ubuntu and MIM and then end with PFC and the meaningful role of music in Life, I think is brilliant. His connection of subsequent chapters to previous cultures is so impressive! I love how he highlights the artists at the end of each chapter. And, selecting Bernard and Cliff especially, and Lou and so many others, is genius. And, of course, I love his inimitable scholarly style of writing with a flow of references and quotations on each page to reinforce his position. Paul Buyer is an amazing author. (Thanks for the T.P. quotes and others.) Kendall Hunt should be extraordinarily pleased with his creation. And he should be very proud -- I certainly am of him and to have him as an esteemed colleague.
