This book is a complete; step-by-step course for beginners on how to play djembe. Right from the start youll be learning interlocking parts for some of the most popular West African rhythms: Kuku; Djole; Kassa; Madan; Suku; Sunguru Bani; and Tiriba. While you learn the patterns; youll also learn how to make each of the basic strokes--bass; tone; and slap--with proper playing technique. We use life-like illustrations to show how each stroke looks from the outside and give detailed descriptions to explain how each stroke feels from the inside. The book also has easy-to-read box charts and a friendly writing style that creates the feel of private lessons. Please note: audio files of the CD that comes with the print version of this book are not included in this ebook version (but are available separately).

A systematic approach to tough decisionsBy dalbertThis book provides a systematic approach to floodplain management. including the right questions to ask. and how to stay appropriate to scale. consider a mix of options. and include everyone fairly. and consider risk. while realistically facing budget limitations. A wide variety of tools are discussed. such as traditional engineered devices like dams and levies. natural systems such as wetlands or meandering river configurations that hold more water. and strategies such as retreat from floodplains. These tools are so different in character that it can be difficult to consider them together. The great thing about the process proposed in this book is that it provides a way to do that. Case studies illustrate how to use systematic steps to pick from these tools. and combine them. to create good solutions for unique circumstances. There is even a chapter on the I-5 floods in the Chehalis River basin in the state of Washington. I recommend this book to anyone making decisions about floodplain management. This book is very technical. and not light reading. but written to be accessible even if you are not an engineer or hydrologist.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
