When Leaves Listen, the first book in a planned series, blends the magic of Madeleine L'Engle's A Wrinkle in Time, the metaphysical undertones of Phillip Pullman's His Dark Materials, and a flare of the dystopian adventure found in Suzanne Collins' The Hunger Games. The reader follows fourteen-year-old Dorothy May Noles as she finds her average life upended by a not-so-average disaster. Dottie must navigate the evacuated wasteland that was once New England to transport crucial information, all the while evading an unsettling swarm of humming metallic leaves. Meanwhile, in the world called Sum, an aged seer and a group of enlightened underground rebels seek to protect the worlds from Orville, a charlatan whose work is draining the spiritual lifeforce from the mountains and threatening to destroy the fantastical creatures that reside there. A self-proclaimed nobody, Dottie will suddenly become the most important somebody to save everybody¿ on Earth and in the world it has just collided with.

How can new and experienced teachers rethink the ways of teaching and learn to embrace and learn from the diversity they encounter among their students? Rather than preparing teachers to follow prescriptions or blueprints, Katherine Schultz suggests that we show them how to attend to and respond to the students they teach. In this book, she offers a conceptual framework for "deep listening," illustrating how successful teachers listen for the particularities of individual students, listen for the rhythm and balance of the whole class, listen for the broader contexts of students' lives, and listen for silence and acts of silence. Listening in this manner brings together knowledge of individual students, an understanding of a student's place within the classroom, and mastery of subject matter and pedagogy. This volume features compelling case studies that reveal the classroom lives of teachers who are exemplary listeners.

Loving Music Till It Hurts explores how people's intense love and protectiveness of music can lead to interpersonal conflicts, societal injustices, and violence. But how might we love music, even embrace it as vital to human thriving, without weaponizing this love? What can we do when loving music and loving people seem at odds?

Did Alaska create the music of John Luther Adams, or did the music create his Alaska? For the past thirty years, the vastness of Alaska has swept through the distant reaches of the composer's imagination and every corner of his compositions. In this new book Adams proposes an ideal of musical ecology, the philosophical foundation on which his largest, most complex musical work is based. This installation, also called The Place Where You Go to Listen, is a sound and light environment that gives voice to the cycles of sunlight and darkness, the phases of the moon, the seismic rhythms of the earth, and the dance of the aurora borealis. Adams describes this work as "a place for hearing the unheard music of the world around us." The book includes two seminal essays, the composer's journal telling the story of the day-to-day emergence of The Place, as well as musical notations, graphs and illustrations of geophysical phenomena.

The bones of what was standing in the sprouts of what could be all in the shadow of what is. Here I sit with my back to a tree. Looking back over the way I've come. Thinking of what might be, all in the shade of the day. The bones, they crumble and fall, Sprouts they fight for every bit of sunlight, the shadows shorten and lengthen as the day moves on. Could I sit here tomorrow, had I sat here yesterday. My thoughts move on like the trail, an easy walk back, forward unknown, they both go on. Only the tree stands steady, not noticing my back.
