In Chasing Sound, Susan Schmidt Horning traces the cultural and technological evolution of recording studios in the United States from the first practical devices to the modern multi-track studios of the analog era. Charting the technical development of studio equipment, the professionalization of recording engineers, and the growing collaboration between artists and technicians, she shows how the earliest efforts to capture the sound of live performances eventually resulted in a trend toward studio creations that extended beyond live shows, ultimately reversing the historic relationship between live and recorded sound.

Schmidt Horning draws from a wealth of original oral interviews with major labels and independent recording engineers, producers, arrangers, and musicians, as well as memoirs, technical journals, popular accounts, and sound recordings. Recording engineers and producers, she finds, influenced technological and musical change as they sought to improve the sound of records. By investigating the complex relationship between sound engineering and popular music, she reveals the increasing reliance on technological intervention in the creation as well as in the reception of music. The recording studio, she argues, is at the center of musical culture in the twentieth century.

  • This books covers the technological advances of recording in the modern era from Edison to CDs and it is very engaging. I highly recommend it as an addition to the conversation on the historic perspective of the way recording has evolved. Susan Schmidt Horning places this perspective into the context of the day. Woke me up to several things I didn't know. I don't want to go into it all now but I can say it well written and seemingly well researched. There is so much information that is it blessing that the author includes a conclusion/summary at the end of each chapter. This book really helps me out personally because I am currently delving into aspects of music technology as a new career, and I believe it is incumbent upon any music professional to know the history of the industry. Besides all that rigmarole, it is a really good read. The only thing I would probably wish was included were more song references that we could use as examples, and perhaps a little more detail about the particular equipment used. There is some of that but I am really interested in the gear. Anyway, I highly recommend it. It's very interesting to hear from all the engineers and producers and some artists of various eras and how the had to deal with the constraints of the day and how that drove innovation.
  • Excellent stories and documentation for this subject. I worked in or was associated with the recording industry from the 1960's to 2000.
  • I really enjoyed this book. Her explanation of the evolution of the industry is fantastic.
  • Anyone interested in recording should have this book. The only one of its kind as far as I know. Buy it.
  • This is the definitive book on sound studies applied to industry practices. It is elegantly written, smartly argued, and thoroughly researched. Any future attempt to chart the history of recording technology will have to begin where Horning left off.
  • There is so much great information in this well-researched book, especially about the largely undocumented early period of recording, 1900-1950. Afer reading this book I feel I have a much more complete understanding of the complete history of recording and recording studios. I absolutely recommend this book to anyone with a deep interest in recording technology and the evolving role of engineers, producers, and technicians. It's a real antidote to the autobiographical books that seem to be overabundant these days, you know the type, "I met X at a club and we recorded this, and then I met Y and we recorded this, ad nauseum. Do yourself a favor and read this book.

Defective or not, the Bad Guys have a job to do. With Dr. Marmalade ready to destroy the world, Mr. Wolf, Mr. Snake, Mr. Piranha, and Mr. Shark finally have their chance to be (super)heroes! And this time, they may just get some help...

"My 8 year old has loved these books since he turned 6 and we all look forward to each new release in the series! They’re funny and clever and well written and illustrated.

This series is also great to get a reluctant reader started- not super simple but still easy to read, awesome pictures and definite little boy humor. My 6yo wasn’t super excited to sit and read chapter books but I truly believe these books opened his eyes to how fun reading longer books could be. Now, because of that, at 8 he reads constantly and can jet through one of these books in about 15 minutes but we enjoy them just as much as ever!"

  • I’m a teacher and i bought these for my classroom. My 2nd grade students absolutely LOVE these books. They are never on the shelf. They are written in a comic book style- photos with short phrases and quotes that tell the story. It’s the classic bad guys who are horrible at being bad guys type of book. I also love that even my lower readers can still get meaning from the photos and my higher readers can catch the sarcasm and deeper level jokes and understandings so these span many ages!
  • My son really struggles with reading and, thus, it’s hard to find any book that he’ll willingly sit down with. This series has been a total game changer! He LOVES IT... and so, so do we! He’s read them all multiple times, brings them to school to share with his friends, and is always so thrilled to preorder the next one. Very funny series, well written and hilariously drawn, perfect for a 2nd/3rd-grader’s mentality!!
  • My 8 year old has loved these books since he turned 6 and we all look forward to each new release in the series! They’re funny and clever and well written and illustrated.

    This series is also great to get a reluctant reader started- not super simple but still easy to read, awesome pictures and definite little boy humor. My 6yo wasn’t super excited to sit and read chapter books but I truly believe these books opened his eyes to how fun reading longer books could be. Now, because of that, at 8 he reads constantly and can jet through one of these books in about 15 minutes but we enjoy them just as much as ever!
  • Well, my eight year old has been looking forward to the next bad guys book ever since the last one came out. He was very disappointed. He felt like nothing happened in the book. They trained, and then when something was finally about to happen....the end! Even kids need a bit more plot line. You can't get away with just some jokes and the idea of superheroes.
  • My son LOVES this series!!! He has been reading them since he was in 1st grade, at age 6, and still laughs his bottom off as he's reading them in 3rd grade, 8 years old. I think they are basic and it takes me about 2 minutes to read them, but they aren't for me, they are for kids, who seem to really love them.
  • Like the previous books in the series, there is some potty language, but my 7 year old got this for his birthday and I think it was the gift he was most excited about. He’s read it several times and laughs out loud every single time. I love that this series has inspired him to read!
  • My 9 year old son absolutely loves this series and we order the next one as soon as it’s available. Lots of pictures and an easy read for elementary school kids. We read these a lot for bed time stories and I enjoy them with him as well.
  • My first grader read the entire thing in one sitting. Then he wanted me to read it with him a second time (same day). Then he was reading it again this morning. Definitely seems a hit with the target audience.

Sexual addiction and infidelity have reached epidemic proportions. The result is devastation, not just to men’s souls, but also their wives’ hearts. And while betrayed wives have an excruciating road ahead of them, many are learning that God is faithful to heal... and even redeem.

Beyond Betrayal interweaves the stories of betrayed wives – including the author’s personal story – with the latest research on sexual addiction and partner trauma. That research includes the largest survey to-date of wives of sex addicts – a study conducted specifically for this book.

Wherever a woman is on her journey, Beyond Betrayal offers her clear, realistic guidance on how to move forward into the healing God has for her. The stories recounted are authentic and grace-filled — because we’ve all messed up in our pain and we all struggle with issues such as anger, boundaries and forgiveness. Despite this, God’s arms are wide-open and He is actively working to bring us to new levels of faith, wholeness and maturity as individuals, couples, families and communities.

With a foreword by author, Marsha Means, A Circle of Joy ministries 

"Lisa Taylor captures the pain a family goes through during betrayal trauma, AND, the hope that they can find in a journey of healing. This book is powerful and written by a lady who is committed to bring hope and healing to your heart."

– Richard Blankenship, Author of “Spouses of Sex Addicts Hope for the Journey”; President, International Association of Certified Sex Addiction Specialists 

"Beyond Betrayal is a needed and welcome addition for partners of sex addicts. Using vulnerability, wisdom and insight, Taylor skillfully guides readers through the often circuitous path leading to life 'beyond betrayal.'"

– Donna M Dixon, CLC, CPCSAS author of Door of Hope, PSA Peer Facilitator Training Guide 

"Beyond Betrayal  presents the truth in a way that so many other books I’ve read  on this topic haven’t. I felt reassured and comforted throughout reading it a sense of safety that Daddy understands me and loves me where I am on my journey with a sex-addicted husband." 

– Amanda, CPSAS, Founder, Worthy of Love ministries, Queensland, Australia

  • This book is a Godsend. Thank you, Lisa Taylor, for writing this book, and for offering so many more helpful books, podcasts, and help groups specifically for women in our situation! Before knowing the label of my husband's problem, I didn't know how to go about searching for help books, and read SO many books that helped me very little. But this was a WEALTH of PERTINENT knowledge, each chapter provided endnotes for further research. Reading the book, I finally felt validated and understood, not alone. The author also does the research for the betrayed spouse, so that she does not end up reading books that make her feel worse, blaming her for her husband's addiction, or chastising her for her display of trauma.
  • Love it
  • One of the best books around on betrayal trauma!
  • i fell every woman should read it that is in the battle
  • A great book from a very personal perspective.
  • Great insights. I love the vulnerability of the author in this book. I also particularly loved the analogy she gave of the way many people treat a sex addict & their spouse.
    In some circles, when a husband's sex addiction becomes known, it is as if he, driving drunk, has run over his wife. The onlookers gasp & everyone runs to the aid of the driver, while shushing the pedestrian for moaning or crying out in pain from their wounds.

    I shared it with my husband. Sadly, it does often feel this way for some spouses of sex addicts. There is much more help available for the addict than the spouse, & even then, both areas of help can tend to be addict centric.

    This book is refreshing because it does NOT follow the addict centric method.

    I loved the Scripture references, some of which I had never applied quite the same to my situation.

  • Prue Shaw's translation and commentary of Dante's 'Monarchy' combines a masterful grasp of her subject with an ability to convey her erudition clearly.
  • This book argued against the Vatican having secular wealth, which contributed to Dante's notoriety. It remains an interesting and relevant work of Political Philosophy because its consideration of the Roman Catholic order of that era resembles our need for global (monolithic?) order to end global warming, nuclear threats and media confusion.
  • Great price!
  • This short but mind-numbing book deals with Church and Sate in Italy, political science in Italy's Medieval period, Italian politics and government in the 13th and 14th century, but chiefly deals with theoretical arguments of where the authority of the Church comes from. I originally read this in an older translation as On World Government, translated by Herbert W. Schneider (Library of Liberal Arts Press). This entirely new translation by Prue Shaw is far more complete and has the academic structure (extensive footnotes, lengthy introduction, citations of original sources given in separate tables, lengthy index, bibliographical references throughout text). Dante wanted an Emperor separate and independent of the Pope, and he spends many paragraphs in Book 3 of his treatise refuting the papal apologists. Dante was attempting to argue logically for an ordered political state that would sweep away the corruption, self-interest, avarice, and worldliness, that society had suffered in his time. He wanted to separate the temporal from the spiritual roles of the Church. He did want a Holy Roman Emperor who would be an absolute monarch with great power, but neutral from corruption, temptation, and would have focus. Dante wanted perfect justice.
    However what he wanted was not then, nor ever was, achievable. Power in itself is corrupting. The book was banned soon after his death, because he refuted the papal apologists in great detail over several chapters in Book 3. The introduction by Prue Shaw goes into great detail into each section of the treatise. Shaw calls him a genius. I call him insane. Others have called hopelessly out of touch, hopelessly backward, hopelessly unrealistic. His historical determinism -- that all that happened in history is God's immortal plan is suspect and delusional. For that denies free will. I can readily imagine Thomas Paine burning this book, for it is anti-democratic in every way. I object especially to Book 2, where he tries to justify the ancient Roman Empire as foreordained by God, even though it was pagan, it did not rule the whole world (as Dante incorrectly asserts many times), and his account seems to deliberately contradict the history of Rome as told by St. Augustine in his City of God--which Dante did read. Also he quotes Aristotle a great deal, but Shaw suspect he never read Aristotle's Politics, only a summary written by someone else. Dante spends most of the treatise using Aristotle's method of logical proof, the syllogism, which makes for painful reading.
    The Schneider translation had been assigned to a class on the history of Renaissance Florence, though it is clearly Medieval in outlook and time time written. On the whole, the book is a fantasy written to be perfectly logical. It is anti-democratic, based on fictitious or forged earlier texts -- the Donation of Constantine (of which Dante complains about) was a forgery. It is based on Virgil's Aeneid -- a fantasy -- and much of The Holy Bible -- much of that is also not true either. The only people who would want to read this are scholars fascinated with Medieval literature and Church politics of the late Medieval Period. Not recommended for the general reader.
  • All law is from God.

    Just acts are judged by the criterion of conformance to the law of God.

    Re-stating Aquinas, Dante affirms "The whole community of the universe is governed by Divine Reason."

    Law has absolutely no relation or participation of influence with our modern "EKWALITEE". Law is inseparably interconnected with ORDER.

    Dante clearly expounds law is anterior to human social and governmental existence. Sort of odd for a "reactionary totalitarian", yeah?

    The Emperor of the ideal state is the prince of "officials", and Dante teaches the Emperor must dispassionately enforce the natural law and its claims against iniquity. The Emperor constrains feeble human nature and feebler creatures to observe the law as "RIDER OF THE HUMAN WILL."

    Loyal citizens united in upholding and uplifting the commonwealth shall live in empyrean peace, but transgressors and traitors shall be punished - and postmortem punishment of grave breakers of the "LEX NATURALIS" of God culminates their own voluntary self-immolation.

    Mere human positivist customary law Dante pays scant regard to, as the lowest reasonably justifiable species of ordinate legality; yet it has its limited place, and as a conservative of aristocratic counter-revolution, Dante advises legal amendments and juridical reformulations of ancient ways. No inorganic disharmonious and unaccustomed innovation is rationally or practically desirable. Dante thus obviously perceived instability of the polity following from extreme, numerous and ill-advised changes in the juridical sphere.

    The essence of the state, for Dante, is not merely territorial and administrative but the unifying and perfecting of the divisions of totality of mankind into the transcendental oneness. (I shall continue shortly...)
