More than eighty years have passed since Edgard Varèse’s catalytic work for percussion ensemble, Ionisation, was heard in its New York premiere. A flurry of pieces for this new medium dawned soon after, challenging the established truths and preferences of the European musical tradition while setting the stage for percussion to become one of the most significant musical advances of the twentieth century. This 'revolution', as John Cage termed it, was a quintessentially modernist movement - an exploration of previously undiscovered sounds, forms, textures, and styles. However, as percussion music has progressed and become woven into the fabric of Western musical culture, several divergent paths, comprised of various traditions and a multiplicity of aesthetic sensibilities, have since emerged for the percussionist to pursue.This edited collection highlights the progressive developments that continue to investigate uncharted musical grounds. Using historical studies, philosophical insights, analyses of performance practice, and anecdotal reflections authored by some of today's most engaged performers, composers, and scholars, this book aims to illuminate the unique destinations found in the artistic journey of the modern percussionist.

'There is another loneliness', wrote the American poet Emily Dickinson: 'Not want of friend occasions it, but nature sometimes, sometimes thought'. For Kevin Lewis, that 'other loneliness' is uniquely expressive of a rich and resonant state of being that is distinctive to the American psyche as well as central to the mythology of America itself. He calls this state of being 'lonesomeness'. It evokes the luminous landscapes of the West and the cathedral-like space of the Great Plains. It lies at the root of personal identity and is inseparable from notions of personal discovery and of communion with the varied topography of the United States, whether it be rural hinterland or industrial urban rustbelt.In this continuously stimulating reflection, Kevin Lewis explores - in religion, poetry, fiction, country songwriting and art - the multiple meanings of that peculiarly American notion of solitariness.Discussing quintessential American writers like Henry David Thoreau, Walt Whitman, Jack Kerouac and Ernest Hemingway - creative artists who have all embraced positive conceptions of solitude and wilderness - Lewis finds the apex of American lonesomeness in the melancholic and reflective paintings of Edward Hopper. Lewis argues that in expressive works like "Nighthawks" and "Morning Sun" one sees Hopper's solitude redeemed by 'something more': by the notion that in isolation the individual may yet be touched by transcendence. Kevin Lewis argues that those echoes of 'something else' reveal a great deal about the American character that we would do well to heed, as well as deep rooted cultural attitudes towards religion, individualism and self-belief.

This book reimagines health research through Indigenous knowledge systems, specifically Cree First Nation land-based science. With contributions from a range of Indigenous, academic, and interdisciplinary experts, this book challenges dominant Western health paradigms by centering wâhkôhtowin — a Cree kinship system that acknowledges the interconnectedness of all beings, human and non-human — as a foundation for holistic health and healing.The authors introduce a tangible model for implementing Indigenous land-based knowledge and adapted Western therapies to foster resilience and cultural continuity, as well as offer wâhkôhtowin (kinship) as a theoretical, methodological, and conceptual guidepost for the book’s journey. This book not only offers critiques of colonial health frameworks but shares actionable strategies for restoring Indigenous health sovereignty and healing through community engagement, confrontations of intergenerational trauma, and other holistic Indigenous therapeutic modalities. It also incorporates discussion questions and reflection prompts for deeper engagement. Through storytelling, personal narratives, and Elder teachings, the book illustrates how Indigenous-led, land-based therapeutic practices can heal intergenerational trauma, center individual and relational well-being, and promote environmental sustainability.This is an indispensable resource for those committed to sustainable, culturally rooted health practices that benefit both Indigenous and broader communities. It is ideal for health researchers, educators, policymakers, practitioners, and graduate students seeking decolonized, community-centered approaches to health and well-being.
