An Introduction to Music by Martin Bernstein is designed as a foundational study in music appreciation, presenting information to foster intelligent listening to works performed in concert halls, opera houses, and via modern transmission media. Explicitly noted as neither a history of music nor a technical manual, the text concentrates on representative compositions from Johann Sebastian Bach through to early twentieth-century trends, intended to be studied alongside actual hearing. Bernstein covers tone, instruments, rhythm, melody, polyphony, harmony, and musical form before exploring major composers, Italian opera, and nationalistic movements. The volume includes thematic musical notation examples, lists of suggested readings for expanded study, and detailed indexes.

This book presents thirty traditional animal legends from African mythology alongside natural history facts, full-color paintings, and habitat maps. Geologist Nick Greaves compiled these stories after years working in the remote bushveld of South Africa, Botswana, Zimbabwe, and Namibia, where he documented the continent's fragile ecosystems. Following his earlier work When Hippo Was Hairy, these tales showcase how both small and large creatures feature in regional folklore. Each story is paired with factual data on animal sizes, habits, and distribution. The text highlights how habitat loss and ecological damage threaten local wildlife, offering younger readers a deeper understanding of nature.
