本书的新观点：1摩梭达巴教是苯教的原始形式，达巴教的历史要上溯到新石器时代，是原始宗教的活化石，摩梭艺术是原始艺术活化石；摩梭文字也是活化石，可以说是人类原始文明的活化石；还有学者称摩梭母系家庭是人类母系社会的活化石。2摩梭和纳西的某些图案和象形文字与青海马家窑文化有渊源关系。西藏卡若文化、横断山石棺葬文化与上述文化也有渊源关系，我们称之为青藏高原东部文化带。本文化带内有20余个民族，他们的民俗、语言、文化有很多相似之处，可能他们来自共同的源头。3吐蕃的崛起，导致西藏本土象形文字被藏文取代，多元文化被吐蕃文化同化。在吐蕃的边缘地带，原始宗教和象形文字保留下来。如达巴教、东巴教、东巴象形文字、达巴象形符号等。

When it was originally published in 1970, "How to Draw What YouSee" zoomed to the top of Watson-Guptill's best-seller list--and ithas remained there ever since.

"How to Draw What You See" shows artists how torecognize the basic shape of an object--cube, cylinder, cone, orsphere--and use that shape to draw the object, no matter how muchdetail it contains.

In this compulsively readable, fascinating, and provocativeguide to classical music, Norman Lebrecht, one of the world's mostwidely read cultural commentators tells the story of the rise ofthe classical recording industry from Caruso's first notes to theheyday of Bernstein, Glenn Gould, Callas, and von Karajan. Lebrechtcompellingly demonstrates that classical recording has reached itsend point-but this is not simply an expos? of decline and fall.

The book ends with a suitable shrineto classical recording: the author's critical selectio
