Book excerpt: What does the year 1960 mean to the Chinese people? "Three-Years of Natural Disaster," in which it is said more than 30 million Chinese lost their lives. A surviving boy aged six, is taken from his extended, countryside family with whom he has been living for four years, by a "total stranger" to Changsha, the capital city of Hunan Province. This was the first time DanJiu ever met his father, for that matter, it was the first time he had ever heard the word "father". This first meeting marks the beginning of a decade's long bid for his father's love. Second son of a not so high ranking, not so low ranking Communist Party Member, he was born in response to the Party's call to, "have as many children as possible for the use of war". The seriousness with which the world around him presents itself demands he fit in. DanJiu learns quite early that he is a square peg. The desperate bid for his father's love seems unattainable as he overhears Father say, "I dislike that child by nature." heartbreaking words that will haunt his life as he questions, "Why 'by nature'?" The blissful discovery of violin at age twelve leads to a lifelong passion, love, obsession, and a major problem. It's 1966 and the Cultural Revolution is in full swing meaning that anything WESTERN is evil, including his beloved violin. How will he persist in his pursuit? Time marches on and DanJiu becomes Daniel. In the early 80's he follows his passion for violin to the west where he lives for his dream in a violinist's world with a beautiful Norwegian wife, about to take the next step to the USA. Everything sold, money in hand, packed and ready to go, Daniel receives a desperate letter from China pleading for his help. His long estranged father lay dying in a hospital unable to pay for his medical care. Daniel is the family's only hope. What will he do? Having come so far in pursuit of his passion, will he give it all up for his father who dislikes him by nature? What would you do? From award winning Mandarin language author Daniel Olsen Chen, comes his first (but not last) English language book, "Father, Son & Violin" a Memoir of his life growing up in Mao's China, it is a poignant, amusing and shocking journey about courage, passion, growth of spirit and character, but above all the quest of a son for the love of his father.

Book excerpt: FINALIST - Hilary Weston Writers’ Trust Prize for Non-Fiction (2012) FINALIST - Charles Taylor Prize for Literary Non-Fiction (2012) FINALIST - Governor General's Literary Award - Non-Fiction (2012) FINALIST - BC Book Prize's Hubert Evans Non-Fiction Prize (2012) A son’s decision to alter his father’s last surviving suit for himself is the launching point for this powerful book – part personal memoir, part social history of the man’s suit – about fathers and sons, love and forgiveness, and learning what it means to be a man. For years, journalist and amateur tailor JJ Lee tried to ignore the suit hanging at the back of his closet. It was his father’s suit. But when JJ decides to make the suit his own, little does he know he is about to embark on a journey to understand his own past. As JJ cuts into the jacket, he begins to piece together the story of his relationship with his father, a charismatic but troubled Montreal restauranteur whose demons brought tumult upon his family. JJ also recounts his own ups and downs during the year he spent as an apprentice at Modernize Tailors – the last of the great Chinatown suitmakers in Vancouver – where, under the tutelage of his octogenarian master tailor, he learns invaluable lessons about life. Woven throughout JJ’s tale are stories of the suit’s own evolution, illuminating how this humble garment has, for centuries, been the surprising battleground for the war between generations. Written with great wit, bracing honesty, and narrative verve, and featuring line drawings throughout by the author, The Measure of a Man is an unforgettable story of love, forgiveness, and discovering what it means to be your own man.

Book excerpt: Sound Inventions is a collection of 34 articles taken from Experimental Musical Instruments, the seminal journal published from 1984 through 1999. In addition to the selected articles, the editors have contributed introductory essays, placing the material in cultural and temporal context, providing an overview of the field both before and after the time of original publication. The Experimental Musical Instruments journal contributed extensively to a number of sub-fields, including sound sculpture and sound art, sound design, tuning theory, musical instrument acoustics, timbre and timbral perception, musical instrument construction and materials, pedagogy, and contemporary performance and composition. This book provides a picture of this important early period, presenting a wealth of material that is as valuable and relevant today as it was when first published, making it essential reading for anyone researching, working with or studying sound.
