Tuva

"Tuva or Bust! Richard Feynman's Last Journey." by Leighton.
This book tells the story of the great Feynman-Tuva adventure, but from Leighton's viewpoint. It is a must for anyone caught in Feynman-mania, or at least interested in more than the short vignettes given in the other Feynman books.

"Tuva: Voices From The Center Of Asia"
This CD gives a sample of Tuvan khoomei. It is a compilation of 33 short (the longest is under 3 minutes) examples of Tuvan overtone or throat singing as well as instrumentation. Check out the Real Audio samples! It is part of the Smithsonian-Folkways collection. Not for everyone, but I had to have it!

"Back TUVA Future"
OK, so you thought that I was the only one to make a connection between DeLoreans and Tuvan throat singing! Guess again! Listen to a few samples, courtesy of amazon.com. By the way, that's a Tuvan stamp on the cover!
