Create, Produce, Consume explores the cycle of musical experience for musicians, professionals, and budding entrepreneurs looking to break into the music industry. Building on the concepts of his previous book, Making Money, Making Music, David Bruenger provides readers with a basic framework for understanding the relationships between the artist and audience and the producer consumer by examining the methods underlying creation-production-reception and creation-consumption-compensation. Each chapter offers a different perspective on the processes and structures that lead listeners to discover, experience, and interact with music and musical artists. Through case studies ranging from Taylor Swift’s refusal to allow her music to be streamed on Spotify to the rise of artists supported through sites like Patreon, Bruenger offers highly relevant real-world examples of industry practices that shape our encounters with music. Create, Produce, Consume is a critical tool for giving readers the agile knowledge necessary to adapt to a rapidly changing music industry. Graphs, tables, lists for additional reading, and questions for further discussion illustrate key concepts. Online resources for instructors and students will include sample syllabi, lists for expanded reading, and more.

Sustainable Production Consumption Systems brings together a set of designed case studies intended to provide a more in-depth understanding of challenges and opportunities in bringing knowledge and actions closer together for the sustainable management of specific production and consumption systems. The case study approach enabled researchers to engage directly with some of the actors involved in the production, consumption or regulation of specific goods or services and other stakeholders affected by those processes. Such engagement was particularly worthwhile when it helped mobilize actors to pursue linking knowledge with action in ways that improve the prospects for sustainability.

The author's consumption theory has been known as the new ideas, new theories and new contribution to the reform and development in China.

The Money System: How to do Business Anywhere in the Universe is a succinct writing defining four abstractions or integrations we must make to turn things around for ourselves and capture the success of which we still dream. "In short, business is the enterprise of creating consumables (production) and then either directly consuming them or exchanging them for a more desired value. Business is solely concerned with handling the requirements of life. The whole enterprise of business is creative interaction. Each of us is in the exact business of attempting to handle the survival requirements of our lives." The Money System: How to do Business Anywhere in the Universe Author Bio: Christopher Alan Anderson (1950 - ) received the basis of his education from the University of Science and Philosophy, Swannanoa, Waynesboro, Virginia. He resides in the transcendental/romantic tradition, that vein of spiritual creativity of the philosopher and poet. His quest has been to define and express an eternal romantic reality from which a man and a woman could together stand in their difference and create a living universe of procreative love. Mr. Anderson began these writings in 1971. The first writings were published in 1985. On a personal note, when Mr. Anderson was asked to describe the writings and what he felt their message was he responded, "Spiritual procreation. Mankind has yet to distinguish the two sexes on the spiritual level. In this failure lies the root of our problems and why we cannot yet touch the eternal together. The message of man and woman balance brings each of us together in love with our eternal other half right now." keywords: Money, Business, Success, Integration, Value, Philosophy

A look at the foundations (rights) required for men and women to be free. This writing is the author's socio-economic statement and allows each of us to step beyond the domination and bondage of our current political systems. "Sovereignty is the right of each life to its own life. Sovereignty for any individual is actually held in a joint balance between the two parts. Balance equals a sovereignty of both parts. In a sovereign relationship, both parts are free to choose for each part is equal in right to the other."

A philosophical accounting of the man and woman relationship with its metaphysical, epistemological, and ethical aspects required to form an understanding of the world in which we live. "This structuring or rooting of each man or woman in his or her own universal man and woman relationship will bring forth a consciousness of that other part or sexed half, so that one may know and experience a connection with their sexual other at each moment throughout one's life."
