Styles of Memory offers a rich philosophical investigation into cinema's unique power to enlist viewers in the imaginative construction of experience. Drawing on close readings of three major works by Terrence Malick, Andrei Tarkovsky, and Krzysztof Kieslowski, this book explores how film can do philosophical work-how images and sounds, in their unfolding, probe the existential conditions of memory, imagination, and the self. At the center of the book is the claim that film does not merely depict memory but stages forms of remembering, imagining, and dreaming within its very fabric. In The Tree of Life, Malick crafts images endowed with striking sentient agency that are, to different degrees, autonomous enough from character point-of-view to seem as if they are "looks without lookers." The film reveals and, at the same time, questions how fiction invites our imaginative investment by making an interior gaze visible. Tarkovsky's Nostalghia overlays the world of dream and memory upon the

The propensity to make music is the most mysterious, wonderful, and neglected feature of humankind: this is where Steven Mithen began, drawing together strands from archaeology, anthropology, psychology, neuroscience--and, of course, musicology--to explain why we are so compelled to make and hear music. But music could not be explained without addressing language, and could not be accounted for without understanding the evolution of the human body and mind. Thus Mithen arrived at the wildly ambitious project that unfolds in this book: an exploration of music as a fundamental aspect of the human condition, encoded into the human genome during the evolutionary history of our species.Music is the language of emotion, common wisdom tells us. In The Singing Neanderthals, Mithen introduces us to the science that might support such popular notions. With equal parts scientific rigor and charm, he marshals current evidence about social organization, tool and weapon technologies, hunting and sca

When a banished witch falls in love with the legendary trickster Loki, she risks the wrath of the gods in this moving, subversive debut novel that reimagines Norse mythology. Angrboda's story begins where most witches' tales end: with a burning. A punishment from Odin for refusing to provide him with knowledge of the future, the fire leaves Angrboda injured and powerless, and she flees into the farthest reaches of a remote forest. There she is found by a man who reveals himself to be Loki, and her initial distrust of him transforms into a deep and abiding love. Their union produces three unusual children, each with a secret destiny, who Angrboda is keen to raise at the edge of the world, safely hidden from Odin's all-seeing eye. But as Angrboda slowly recovers her prophetic powers, she learns that her blissful life--and possibly all of existence--is in danger. With help from the fierce huntress Skadi, with whom she shares a growing bond, Angrboda must choose whether she'll accept the f
