Hitting the right notes The book “Rhythms of the Game: The Link Between Musical and Athletic Performance,” written by former Yankee Bernie Williams and musician friends Dave Gluck and Bob Thompson, is “a grab bag of inspiration, self-help, history and anecdotes that focus on the kinship of baseball and music.” (via Baseball Players Who Play Music, Too - NYTimes.com)

Jonathan Safran Foer’s new book, Tree of Codes, that crosses literature with visual art.

Love the execution of book as sculptural object. 

I suspect this is one book that may not translate well to an iPad or another e-reader. ;)

I wonder if Rob Walker (whose insightful posts can be found at Murketing.tumblr.com, Unconsumption.tumblr.com, Murketing.com, @notrobwalker, and @significobs, among other places) is aware that this New York Times review of his book, “Buying In: The Secret Dialogue Between What We Buy and Who We Are,” is making the rounds on Tumblr.

Reason #491 why I love the Internet: availability of clips from the Seinfeld coffee-table book episode.

Music Matters -- New Study Reports Case Studies on Orchestra Innovations

The book Fearless Journeys: Innovation in Five American Orchestras, produced by the League of American Orchestras and funded with grants from MetLife Foundation and the National Endowment for the Arts, is a first-of-its-kind case study about innovation in orchestras.

The five orchestras’ stories featured in the book are only a few examples of how the orchestra field is testing important new approaches to administrative/artistic organization, community partnerships, and artistic initiatives. The book’s conclusion focuses on factors that have enabled innovation in all five orchestras in the study — critical knowledge that orchestras can use. The book serves as hard evidence that, even in these challenging times, the field is taking risks and discovering ways to become increasingly resilient.

Social media 101: Corporations cultivating communities

I had the good fortune of getting my hands on an advance copy of Joel Postman’s (@jpostman) book SocialCorp: Social Media Goes Corporate. As someone who has worked most recently at a small company, I find Joel’s examples and case studies of larger companies’ SM strategies and initiatives helpful as models. If you’re in need of educating colleagues — or yourself — about the benefits of jumping on the SM bandwagon, you’ll benefit from reading SocialCorp. Employees of public and private companies of all sizes, in addition to staff and board members of non-profit organizations, will glean much useful information from the book.
