#1 Amazon Best Seller in Music Theory and Music Reference. Over 20,000 copies sold worldwide with nearly 100% five-star reviews.

Music theory books have been teaching the same way for centuries. Rename a long list of effects, recycle the decisions and trends of composers from before they even had toilet paper, and take the same basic ideas and rename them fifteen different ways. They are essentially history books pretending to be theory. That's why people hate them.

This book is different.

The Science of Music teaches the underlying causes and science behind what all of those many effects come from. Once you peek behind the curtain, everything becomes much easier than it has been presented to appear.

Allen Van Wert's original research into modes uncovered fundamental misunderstandings that have been baked into traditional music theory for centuries, including the revelation that the minor scale itself was the biggest mistake in music theory history. These findings allowed him to correct those issues and strip away the complexity and redundancy that have made theory way harder to learn than it needs to be.

The result is a complete rebuild of music theory from the ground up.

No more outliers. No more exceptions patched over ill-conceived opinions based on trends from a long time ago. The theory presented in this book will always be true and will always work in any context.

What makes this book different:

Allen couldn't afford to go to college even with his skill-based scholarship. He studied their books in a tiny room at home and started noticing the flaws in their logic. A part of being autistic is noticing where systems can be built better and also having a strong sense of justice about it. He couldn't just leave it broken. Part computer programmer, part musician who experiences goosebumps and chases that magic. That outside perspective is exactly what allowed him to step outside the matrix and see things for what they really are. You benefit from his life's work and study.

This is for people interested in actually making music.

Composing, improvising, songwriting, and learning songs much faster. Many readers say they have a strong understanding of how music works by page 45. This is the new music theory.

The path to love doesn't always travel in a straight direction. Waiting for Something Else tells the story of James, a heterosexual man who unexpectedly falls in love-but not quite in lust-with his gay co-worker, Roger.

"Martin Cloutier's prose is suffused with intelligence, wit, compassion, and a vision of the world uniquely his own but which also speaks to a potentially wide readership. This writer is on the cusp of an impressive literary career."

-Andre Dubus III, author of House of Sand and Fog

"Martin Cloutier understands that comedy -- the searing, real kind -- begins in an honesty as painful for the reader as for the author. We laugh when we read his work because we hear, fatally, the accents of our own abjection as it encounters the humiliations of daily life."

-Edmund White, author of A Boy's Own Story

Bald, bewildered, and Buddhist, James is struggling to adjust to life in New York City. Nine months into managing a Brooklyn gourmet restaurant, he's still friendless and dateless, and secretly pining for Sherry-a Wiccan vixen with a narcissistic streak-but too timid to act. One drunken night, while confessing his unrequited love to Roger, a playwright known for sex comedies, James unwittingly stumbles into one of his own when Roger makes a move on him.

Roger, weary of sculptured thighs, pecs, and the superficial chicken parts of gay dating, is drawn to James's awkward sincerity-and his knack for puppet animation. James enjoys the ego-stroking attention of Roger's sexual advances, and envies his ability to make art in off-Broadway Brooklyn, but remains unsold on his hairy chest, prominent jaw, and unavoidable penis. Things become even more complicated when Sherry, escaping her bipolar boyfriend, moves in with Roger-only to catch feelings after a drunken night sharing his bed.

In this era of shifting identities, sexual fluidity, and the messy modern search for connection, Waiting for Something Else tackles the complexities of attraction-the fine lines between gay, straight and questioning-exploring whether desire can transcend sexual orientation and our personal expectations.

Bestselling and award-winning author Kate Messner takes readers on a heart-filling journey as a boy finds his path to healing.

One summer.
46 mountain peaks.
A second chance to make things right.

Finn Connelly is nothing like his dad, a star athlete and firefighter hero who always ran toward danger until he died two years ago. Finn is about to fail seventh grade and has never made headlines . . . until now.

Caught on camera vandalizing a cemetery, he's in big trouble for knocking down some dead old lady's headstone. Turns out that grave belongs to a legendary local mountain climber, and her daughter makes Finn an unusual offer: she'll drop all the charges if he agrees to climb all forty-six Adirondack High Peaks in a single summer. And there's just one more thing--he has to bring along the dead woman's dog.

In a wild three months of misadventures, mountain mud, and unexpected mentors, Finn begins to find his way on the trails. At the top of each peak, he can see for miles and slowly begins to understand more about himself and his dad. But the mountains don't care about any of that, and as the clock ticks down to September, they have more surprises in store. Finn's final summit challenge may be more than even a hero can face.

Atlas has lost her way.

In a last-ditch effort to pull her life together, she's working on a community service program rehabbing trails in the Western Sierras. The only plus is that the days are so exhausting that Atlas might just be tired enough to forget that this was one of her dad's favorite places in the world. Before cancer stole him from her life, that is.

Using real names is forbidden on the trail. So Atlas becomes Maps, and with her team--Books, Sugar, Junior, and King--she heads into the wilderness. As she sheds the lies she's built up as walls to protect herself, she realizes that four strangers might know her better than anyone has before. And with the end of the trail racing to meet them, Maps is left counting down the days until she returns to her old life--without her new family, and without King, who's become more than just a friend.

"An extraordinary work of intellectual history as well as a scholarly tour de force, a bracing polemic, and a work of Christian prophecy...McCarraher challenges more than 200 years of post-Enlightenment assumptions about the way we live and work."
--The Observer

At least since Max Weber, capitalism has been understood as part of the "disenchantment" of the world, stripping material objects and social relations of their mystery and magic. In this magisterial work, Eugene McCarraher challenges this conventional view. Capitalism, he argues, is full of sacrament, whether one is prepared to acknowledge it or not. First flowering in the fields and factories of England and brought to America by Puritans and evangelicals, whose doctrine made ample room for industry and profit, capitalism has become so thoroughly enmeshed in the fabric of our society that our faith in "the market" has become sacrosanct.

Informed by cultural history and theology as well as management theory, The Enchantments of Mammon looks to nineteenth-century Romantics, whose vision of labor combined reason, creativity, and mutual aid, for salvation. In this impassioned challenge to some of our most firmly held assumptions, McCarraher argues that capitalism has hijacked our intrinsic longing for divinity--and urges us to break its hold on our souls.

"A majestic achievement...It is a work of great moral and spiritual intelligence, and one that invites contemplation about things we can't afford not to care about deeply."
--Commonweal

"More brilliant, more capacious, and more entertaining, page by page, than his most ardent fans dared hope. The magnitude of his accomplishment--an account of American capitalism as a religion...will stun even skeptical readers."
--Christian Century

The editors of the best-selling rediscovered Tolkien novel Roverandom present an expanded edition of Tolkien's beloved classic Farmer Giles of Ham, complete with a map, the original story outline, the original first-edition illustrations by Pauline Baynes, and the author's notes for an unpublished sequel.

It is a small gem of a tale that grows more delightful with each rereading.

In this celebrated novel, Nobel Prize-winning author Toni Morrison created a new way of rendering the contradictory nuances of black life in America. Its earthy poetic language and striking use of folklore and myth established Morrison as a major voice in contemporary fiction.

"Song of Solomon" begins with one of the most arresting scenes in our century's literature: a dreamlike tableau depicting a man poised on a roof, about to fly into the air, while cloth rose petals swirl above the snow-covered ground and, in the astonished crowd below, one woman sings as another enters premature labor. The child born of that labor, Macon (Milkman) Dead, will eventually come to discover, through his complicated progress to maturity, the meaning of the drama that marked his birth. Toni Morrison's novel is at once a romance of self-discovery, a retelling of the black experience in America that uncovers the inalienable poetry of that experience, and a family saga luminous in its depth, imaginative generosity, and universality. It is also a tribute to the ways in which, in the hands of a master, the ancient art of storytelling can be used to make the mysterious and invisible aspects of human life apparent, real, and firm to the touch.
