"This book is a description of a journey I have taken ---- with my ears and eyes and heart and brain through an exquisitely beautiful and relatively unexplored country: the musical landscape of the whole earth.

It is a journey that has also been taken by others, but by far too few of us, comfortable as we tend to be under our respective cultural blankiets." ---- from the Preface.
