Theodore Levin takes readers on a journey through the rich sonic world of inner Asia, where the elemental energies of wind, water, and echo; the ubiquitous presence of birds and animals; and the legendary feats of heroes have inspired a remarkable art and technology of sound-making among nomadic pastoralists. As performers from Tuva and other parts of inner Asia have responded to the growing worldwide popularity of their music, Levin follows them to the West, detailing their efforts to nourish global connections while preserving the power and poignancy of their music traditions.

We are a meld, the blue mountains and me. We are part of each other. Pigeon Forge was my home; The Smoky Mountains, their foothills, and the Great Smoky Mountain National Park I considered my yard. From Elkmont to Deep Creek from Walnut bottoms to Davenport Gap, the mountains stretched my playground. The Sevier County 1940s and 1950s era was like no other. Unmatched in countryside beauty, they nurtured a Mayvberry-esque life style. The rural one-day-at-a time pace of the mountains and the peace of the countryside offered home folks an idyllic life. They simply wouldn't live anywhere else. The land, their heritage, and the mountain mystique that held them was reason enough to stay. I grew up in the midst of all of that. Entertainment and play was outdoors only; indoors was for cards and being sick. My friends and I spent almost every waking moment in the Smokies' woods 'n waters. The mountains taught us well. We developed a strong sense of who we were and to whom we belonged. Because of these mountains, its people, and our heritage, we became better people. They raised us right. Even today, it's important to be able to say, "born and raised here." Our lives saw dramatic change during that brief pre and longer post WWII Pigeon Forge period and beyond. The Then and the Now fill my book. If you hunger to know what I, we, miss about those days of the Then, this book is for you. The book's second half depicts the Now. Entitled Reflections, it mirrors the collective perceptions of the many who remember and who still ponder the results progress and the resulting trade-offs. Fiction, conservation perspectives, eclectic poems, and naturalist comments ring prophetically true in the Reflections portion. If you love our mountains and the outdoors, This book is for you. Journey with me into the Pigeon Forge culture of the mid-forties and early fifties. Experience a Sevier county history, culture, and heritage that stretched from Sevierville to Elkmont and from Knoxville to the Chimneys. Travel with my Five Oaks physician granddad and me as he "doctors" his ailing patients strung out from Five Oaks farm to Boogertown. Hike and fish with me high in the Smokies. Learn some valuable growin-up-in-the-woods stuff. Meet crusty colorful old woodsmasters who taught us the ways of nature's woods 'n waters. Walk alongside me in the streets of prewar Pigeon Forge and meet my neighbors. Join me and you'll never be the same.

Let The Mountains Talk Let The Rivers Run written by David Brower and has been published by this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2007 with Environmentalism categories.
As executive director of the Sierra Club through the 1950s and '60s, David Brower spearheaded its landmark campaigns, launched its publishing program, and, in Jerry Mander's words, "essentially vaulted the ecology movement into ... a major international force." Brower was the movement's charismatic pied piper, inspiring countless young people to follow his lead. This incendiary and vastly entertaining volume is vintage Brower, recounting events from his life and times as preludes to his siren songs on behalf of the Earth. His voice is erudite, beautifully cadenced, infuriatingly opinionated, and spiced with dry humor. And his insights are uncannily prescient; back in the early 1990s he called for the adoption of hybrid cars, urban core infilling, wildlife corridors, and more. We also see Brower's other sides: as a leading mountaineer and officer in the famed 10th Mountain Division during WWII and as an innovative and discerning editor. Brower's tale begins at a Grateful Dead concert, where he is mentally composing a speech that will move the young audience to as much passion for conservation as they express for their music. With this delightful book available again, still more young (and not-so-young) people can be moved by his words.
