"...an amazing journey...nothing less than a musical odyssey of discovery," is how iBerkshires hailed the first edition of Symphonies & Scorpions. Now, with color-captioned photos, In Symphonies & Scorpions you'll get an insider's view of the glamour and the drudgery of an international concert tour to China and Japan, and gain deep insight into music as an instrument of citizen diplomacy. You'll sit on the hallowed stage of Symphony Hall in Boston and in concert halls in Asia, meeting congenial and occasionally cantankerous colleagues, listening to the Maestro's words of debated wisdom. You'll fly nonstop from Boston to Tokyo, dine on succulent Peking duck, squirm through Beijing alleys crowded with scorpion vendors, and be spiritually restored in a Tokyo park floating in tranquility.This second, enhanced edition of Symphonies & Scorpions adds Elias's prize-winning essay, "War & Peace. And Music," featured in his TEDxSaltLakeCity performance of September, 2019. A preface to the new edition also tackles the tumultuous issue of sexual misconduct by luminaries in the classical music world. This painstakingly revised edition is a must not only for music lovers but also for anyone interested in understanding and enriching human relations at home and abroad.

In 1979 the Boston Symphony undertook a history-making concert tour to China. After the tumultuous Cultural Revolution, the BSO was the first American orchestra to set foot there after the normalization between the two countries, and their visit aroused great local and international interest and media coverage. After a hiatus of thirty-five years, in 2014 the BSO returned to China and Japan, and Elias had the great good fortune to have performed on both tours. His memories from '79 are vivid; from the spectacular banquets to which the musicians were daily feted, to the eerie quiet and darkness that descended upon Beijing-a city of nine million-every night, because of their inadequate power grid and because the jingle of bicycle bells outnumbered car engines a thousand to one. Having witnessed momentous changes in Chinese politics, economy, environment, and society from afar, Elias was intensely curious to see them for himself. And of course, there was the artistic mission of the tour! China has become a cultural powerhouse, rivaling Japan, building concert halls, founding orchestras, training musicians, and making instruments at a breakneck pace. How would they receive the Americans upon their return? Did the axiom of music being the international language hold true? Last but not least were the nuts and bolts of an international orchestra tour. How do you get a group of more than a hundred musicians (and their partners, and the administration, and the staff, and selected board members and sponsors) from Point A to Point B and all the way to Point Z, on time, well-fed, and well-housed, all the while carrying with them a precious cargo of millions of dollars' worth of irreplaceable instruments? Set out in broad diary form, each day of rehearsal, travel and performance offers up a clean palette for Elias to paint a multicolored, often humorous landscape of the musical, logistical, personal, and political aspects of a groundbreaking tour by one of the world's greatest orchestras. Elias knows everyone, so interviews and stories with and about musicians and various members of the organization, from its managing director to the orchestra's chauffeur, tell an eye-opening story of planning and human interaction. In every concert tour, amidst the artistic triumphs there also is inevitably great offstage human drama, because if one thing is certain it's that not everything will go as planned. An adventure indeed!

Humans possess an extraordinary capacity for culture, from the arts and language to science and technology. But how did the human mind—and the uniquely human ability to devise and transmit culture—evolve from its roots in animal behavior? Darwin’s Unfinished Symphony presents a captivating new theory of human cognitive evolution. This compelling and accessible book reveals how culture is not just the magnificent end product of an evolutionary process that produced a species unlike all others—it is also the key driving force behind that process. Kevin Laland tells the story of the painstaking fieldwork, the key experiments, the false leads, and the stunning scientific breakthroughs that led to this new understanding of how culture transformed human evolution. It is the story of how Darwin’s intellectual descendants picked up where he left off and took up the challenge of providing a scientific account of the evolution of the human mind.
