    "[Genetically Modified Organisms: A Scientific-Political Dialogue on a Meaningless Meme] is an excellent book presenting a very strong case for abandoning the acronym GMO. It will be extremely helpful to scholars and educators in developing countries who need to persuade their populace and politicians to adopt modern methods to reap the benefits of more nutritious foods and greatly improved yields."

Music in Human Experience: Perspectives on a Musical Species

Music plays an integral role in many facets of human life, from the biological and social to the spiritual and political. This book brings together interdisciplinary and cross-cultural studies on the functions, purposes, and meanings of music in human experience.


Jonathan L. Friedmann is Professor of Jewish Music History and Associate Dean of the Master of Jewish Studies Program at the Academy for Jewish Religion California, USA. He is the author and editor of over two dozen books, including Musical Aesthetics: An Introduction to Concepts, Theories, and Functions (2018).

"Overall, these essays will be of value to music historians and students of the evolution of music. It provides a cross generational, long term focus of music’s development from pre-antiquity up to this century, without much focus on the very most contemporary, commodified and popularized sides of music in the present day."
