Since the mid-1990s, Taiwan’s unique brand of Mandopop (Mandarin Chinese–language pop music) has dictated the musical tastes of the mainland and the rest of Chinese-speaking Asia. Cries of Joy, Songs of Sorrow explores Mandopop’s surprisingly complex cultural implications in Taiwan and the PRC, where it has established new gender roles, created a vocabulary to express individualism, and introduced transnational culture to a country that had closed its doors to the world for twenty years. In his early chapters, Marc L. Moskowitz provides the historical background necessary to understand the contemporary Mandopop scene, beginning with the birth of Chinese popular music in the East Asian jazz Mecca of 1920s Shanghai. A brief overview of alternative musical genres in the PRC such as Beijing rock and revolutionary opera is included. The section concludes with a look at the manner in which Taiwan’s musical ethos has influenced the mainland’s music industry and how Mandopop has brought Western music and cultural values to the PRC. This leads to a discussion of Taiwan pop’s exceptional hybridity, beginning with foreign influences during the colonial period under the Dutch and Japanese and continuing with the country’s political, cultural, and economic alliance with the U.S. Moskowitz addresses the resulting wealth of transnational musical influences from the rest of East Asia and the U.S. and Taiwan pop’s appeal to audiences in both the PRC and Taiwan. In doing so, he explores how Mandopop’s "songs of sorrow," with their ubiquitous themes of loneliness and isolation, engage a range of emotional expression that resonates strongly in the PRC. Later chapters examine the construction of male and female identities in Mandopop and look at the widespread condemnation of the genre by critics. Drawing on analyses and data from earlier chapters (including interviews with dozens of performers, song writers, and lay people in Taipei and Shanghai), Moskowitz attempts to answer the question: Why, if the music is as bad as some assert, is it so central to the lives of the largest population in the world? To answer, he highlights Mandopop’s important contribution as a poetic lament that simultaneously embraces and protests modern life. Cries of Joy, Songs of Sorrow is a highly readable introduction to an important but understudied East Asian phenomenon. It will find a ready audience among scholars and students of Chinese and Taiwanese popular culture as well as musicologists studying transnational music flows and non-Western popular music.

In her first book, Beth Wisner Jahnsen has brought together essays that not only lift the spirit, but give hope to those suffering through trials and losses. REVIEWS "So eloquent and deep. Her pain and vulnerability jump off the page. She is a warrior." Mark Newman "Beth has a way of using words to hit the very depths of your heart - with a perfect balance of humor and truth. Her vulnerability and willingness to share her pain allows others to do the same and explore what joy God might be hiding in this crazy thing called life." Sierra Leeper "With candor minus rancor, Beth's life vignettes speak to everyone who's known faith and doubt, magic and loss." Jerry Wilson "Writing that share complex truths in a down to earth, understandable way. A lifetime of experiences that keep you turning pages." Steve Devries FORWARD EXCERPT "It is through honest and open accounts of heartbreak and defeat that we can find the most comfort. To know and understand that we are not the first to brave these waters of healing and becoming whole. This collection of essays and short stories paint a beautiful picture of a woman torn apart by the hell that is life on earth only to stand up and say, 'We must keep going.' A completely broken woman who has been dragged thru the dirt and somehow gets up every single time to brush herself off. Her writing is encouraging and open. I continue to stand in awe of her courageous spirit."Janae Lee Ann Tullo EXCERPT FROM OF JOY AND SORROW Why pain? Why heartbreak? Why is there so much suffering in the world? For healing, for victory, for the opportunity to love. God will use every loss, every hurt, all of our suffering to expose our purpose here. To rip away the veil of fear and the insecurities we cling to. God our Father does for us what may seem to be cruel at times, He allows us to experience the painful repercussions of a life lived by self-determination. He will draw us out, forcing us to use the gifts He's given us for eternal glory. To see ourselves, as He does - worthy.

What do we do with the sadness and the joy that living in a broken world brings to our lives? Most try to avoid the tears and focus on finding happiness. Denial might help to alleviate pain, but eventually lament must be faced and expressed. Steve Brown shows that learning to lament honestly to God is the surprising path to learning about real joy.

The cycle of joy and sorrow is perennial. Yet, they are largely of our own making. There is no market where we can go and buy either. As their source is not outside but within us, therefore, it is possible for us to transform or control them too. This is a vastly complex subject that man has struggled with for aeons. In Understanding Joy and Sorrow, Acharya Mahapragya, the tenth Acharya of the Jain Swetambar Terapanth sect and one of the most respected Jain thinkers of the world, outlines the causes, aspects and remedies of our unhappiness in twenty-one succinct chapters. Given here are chapters that address the role of anger, stress and desire in sorrow and those like detachment and fearlessness which help us be happy. Drawing upon anecdotes and examples, he holds up a mirror to our innermost fears and concerns. Alongside are five key exercises such as kayotsarga and antaryatra that provide a pathway to reaching mental calm. Kayotsarga is the process of relaxation of all the muscles in the body that helps one to release stress; antaryatra is the focussing of attention on the body's centre of energy to reach a state of balance and peace. Together with the other exercises given in the book these make it one of the most accessible books available on the subject, one that any reader can keep handy and benefit from by dipping into time and again.
