RULES AT WORK and home are of paramount importance. Nigel Bullstone, however, has no respect for parameters of any kind. Behind exemplary behaviour and pressed suits, he enjoys a wildly different life in his head. This deception is exposed by chance, and his livid father books him into a hard-line motivational course to straighten him out. His journey to absolution is waylaid when his car and his nerves break down en-route. A stranger called Winston rescues him from the roadside; in a mutinous state he accepts a dodgy invitation to go camping in lieu of obeying orders, and then learns that Winston's openly hostile friend, Ramon, is to join them. Stressed out, his unfettered thoughts run amok. He finds himself poised on the edge of madness and the Highest Bungi Jump on Earth; the stupefying leap into nothingness produces a bizarre entity that claims to be his Alter Ego and Personal Counsel. And it is not alone. Ramon has acquired one, and Winston has had one all along. Nigel's life takes on a new perspective.

This volume is an interpretive analysis of a collection of 335 song texts treated as primary historical sources. The collection highlights the cultural practices that link music with labor in Sukuma communities in northwestern Tanzania. These linkages are evident in the music of the elephant, snake, and porcupine hunting associations that flourished in the precolonial epoch, in the nineteenth-century regional and long-distance porter associations, and in the farmer associations that have proliferated since the beginning of the twentieth century. Acting primarily as an interpretive editor, the author collaborated with several Tanzanian scholars and translators towards fine-tuning the translation of these texts into English, and gathered testimonies in order to create succinct interpretive statements about the songs.

Alexander Fleming cured infections with mold and spiritual guides have long used psychedelic mushrooms to enhance understanding. Then there are the tiny threads of fungi, called hyphae, that create a communications network for the natural world while decomposing organic matter.
