In 1910, when Kunio Yanagita (1875-1962) wrote and published The Legends of Tono in Japanese, he had no idea that 100 years later, his book would become a Japanese literary and folklore classic. Yanagita is best remembered as the founder of Japanese folklore studies, and Ronald Morse transcends time to bring the reader a marvelous guide to Tono, Yanagita, and his enthralling tales. In this 100th Anniversary edition, Morse has completely revised his original translation, now out of print for over three decades. Retaining the original's great understanding of Japanese language, history, and lore, this new edition will make the classic collection available to new generations of readers.

In the heart of the American South, amid rolling hills and lush landscapes, a genre of music was born that would enchant generations and shape the very essence of the nation's musical heritage. "The Legends of Bluegrass Music" is a journey through the lives and contributions of the most influential figures in this soul-stirring genre. At the heart of the Bluegrass universe stands a figure synonymous with the genre itself—the "Father of Bluegrass," Bill Monroe. From his roots in Kentucky to the revolutionary creation of the Bluegrass Boys, his trailblazing path defined not only the sound but the spirit of this distinctive music. Within these pages, encounter the inimitable duo of Lester Flatt and Earl Scruggs. Their enduring partnership enchanted audiences far and wide, inspiring us to explore the profound connection between tradition and innovation. The architects of Bluegrass, like The Stanley Brothers, Ralph and Carter, left an indelible mark with heartfelt harmonies and soul-stirring lyrics, while pioneers Reno and Smiley and The Osborne Brothers broadened the genre's scope. But the Legends of Bluegrass extend beyond its early days. A new wave of artists emerged, including Alison Krauss and Keith Whitely, each carrying the torch and adding their unique flair. From joyous fiddle tunes to heartrending ballads, Bluegrass weaves a tapestry of emotions, vividly portraying the human experience. Join us on this musical odyssey through time, where we delve into the lives and accomplishments of the Legends of Bluegrass Music. Their stories remind us of the power of music to unite, uplift, and transcend barriers. As we journey through the pages of this book, we are moved by the incredible talent and indomitable spirit of these legendary artists who shaped Bluegrass into an everlasting, cherished art form.

Every new archaeological discovery in the Middle East bears further witness to the stature of "one of the most remarkable Old Testament scholars of modern times," as Hurman Gunkel is characterized by W.F. Albright in the introduction to this book. Relying on a highly developed sense of religious and aesthetic values, and a broad knowledge of literary forms, Gunkel found in the Patriarchal legends accurate memories of past happenings. Gunkel recognized the influence of Mesopotamian, Egyptian, and Canaanite elements and their transformation and integration into Hebrew thinking. He stood up against Wellhausen's widely influential treatment of Genesis as a collection of primitive, unhistorical myths. He prepared the way for contributions from cultural anthropology to the understanding of the Biblical period." The parallels between the life of Genesis and the activities mentioned in contemporary extra-biblical sources are very far-reaching indeed," Albright declares, as he reminds us that "Abraham turns out to have been a caravan leader, and the very name 'Hebrew' refers to donkey caravaneering."
