Book excerpt: From Archibald MacLeish to David Sedaris, radio storytelling has long borrowed from the world of literature, yet the narrative radio work of well-known writers and others is a story that has not been told before. And when the literary aspects of specific programs such as The War of the Worlds or Sorry, Wrong Number were considered, scrutiny was superficial. In Lost Sound, Jeff Porter examines the vital interplay between acoustic techniques and modernist practices in the growth of radio. Concentrating on the 1930s through the 1970s, but also speaking to the rising popularity of today's narrative broadcasts such as This American Life, Radiolab, Serial, and The Organist, Porter's close readings of key radio programs show how writers adapted literary techniques to an acoustic medium with great effect. Addressing avant-garde sound poetry and experimental literature on the air, alongside industry policy and network economics, Porter identifies the ways radio challenged the conventional distinctions between highbrow and lowbrow cultural content to produce a dynamic popular culture.

Book excerpt: The 'Sci-Fi Boxed Set: 160+ Space Adventures, Lost Worlds, Dystopian Novels & Apocalyptic Tales' represents an unparalleled amalgamation of literary brilliance spanning several centuries, embracing a myriad of voices that have shaped the science fiction genre. With works ranging from the pioneering speculative visions of Mary Shelley and H.G. Wells to the complex dystopias of Ayn Rand and Kurt Vonnegut, this collection showcases a breathtaking diversity in storytelling and thematic exploration. The assemblage stands out for its incorporation of early sci-fi novellas that paved the way for modern science fiction, alongside seminal apocalyptic narratives that question the very essence of humanity and our place in the universe. Standout pieces delve into uncharted galaxies, unravel dystopian societies, and craft tales of lost worlds with an imaginative fervor that continues to inspire and challenge the literary canon. The contributing authors and editors, drawn from various epochs and cultures, bring with them a rich tapestry of backgrounds, each contributing uniquely to the tapestry of science fiction. Icons like Edgar Allan Poe and Philip K. Dick are presented alongside lesser-known but equally influential figures such as Rokeya Sakhawat Hossain and Gertrude Barrows Bennett, offering insights into the genre's evolution and its intersections with historical, cultural, and literary movements. This diverse authorship ensures a multifaceted exploration of themes such as colonialism, technological innovation, and existential risk, presenting a comprehensive narrative of humanitys hopes, fears, and philosophical inquiries. This collection is an indispensable treasure trove for anyone seeking to delve into the depths of science fiction, offering an unprecedented opportunity to engage with the genre's evolution from its inception to contemporary times. Readers are invited to embark on a journey through time and space, exploring the farthest reaches of human imagination and the myriad ways in which these visions of the future reflect our current realities. The 'Sci-Fi Boxed Set' is not merely a compilation of stories; it is a dialogue between generations of storytellers, a scholarly expedition into the heart of speculative fiction, and a compelling invitation to ponder what lies beyond the known universe.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book uses Ezra Pound's The Cantos as a lens to understand modernism's ambition to revolutionize literature through mythical and scientific methods. Homer's Odyssey plays a unique methodological and structural role in The Cantos. The Cantos translates, interprets, abridges, adapts, critiques, parodies, trivializes, allegorizes, and “ritualizes” the Odyssey. Partly inspired by Joyce's use of different literary styles or “technics” in Ulysses, and partly inspired by medieval classicism and 19th century philology, Pound uses a plethora of methods to translate Homer and other classical texts. This book argues that The Cantos is a modernist vision of the Matter of Troy, a term used by medieval authors to designate the cycle of texts based on the Trojan war and its aftereffects, including the nostoi (returns) of the Greek heroes. This is the first study to explore how medieval classicism and translation informs Pound's mythical method and to systematically outline the variety and evolution of Pound's Odyssey translations in The Cantos.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Baby Boomers and Hearing Loss, audiologist John Burkey shows readers how they can continue to enjoy youthful living, regardless of whether their hearing abilities are undiminished or severely compromised. In a reassuring and straightforward style, Burkey explains the typical causes of hearing loss, from genetic factors to years of exposure to loud noises, and demystifies the sometimes confusing results of a hearing test. Fortunately, new technologies and advances in medicine have made it easier to detect signs of initial hearing loss and to prevent it from becoming a serious problem. For those who have already sustained some damage, the author suggests ways to manage daily activities by using a range of techniques, equipment, and medical procedures. His suggestions include minor changes, such as using a vibrating alarm clock rather than one that is sound-based. More dramatic but often highly effective options, including reconstructive surgery, cochlear implants, and bone-anchored hearing aids, are also described. In his previous award-winning book, Overcoming Hearing Aid Fears: The Road to Better Hearing, Burkey addressed common fears, concerns, and misconceptions that people have about choosing and using hearing aids. In this second indispensable volume, he offers a comprehensive guide on how to cope with and prevent hearing impairment. For a generation that refuses to slow down or quietly accept limitations, this book is essential reading.

Book excerpt: Poems by Kolki (Deepak Sarkar) is a book of thoughtful poems written from realizations toward achieving a peaceful and co-excisting heaven on Earth. These poems are about universal well being, peace and love, as perceived by the author, a dual Canadian and American citizen originally from Kolkata, India, throughout his life and during years of renunciation phase - revisiting world history and religion without pre-conceived notions! The scientific and extensive corporate knowledge blended with an artistic global mind toward universal love and craving for long lasting peace in an egaletarian world resulted in many unique poems in almost all aspects of life including philosphical, political, economical, social and romantic. Thus re-establishing truth is the basis of many poems including epic poems like 'Jesus', 'Palestine', 'Illegal Immigrants', 'God' and 'Universal God'; while fresh original thoughts created poems like 'Democracy', 'Participatory Democracy', 'Universal Super Power', 'Silent God', etc. Overall, the book has poems for almost all audience with positive outlook of enlightenment - be it for love, peace, politics, philosophy, social or economy. Many poems are inspirational while others are informative and solution drivien! As commented by eminent historian and scholar Professor Mansura Haidar of Aligarh University 'It was always refreshingly pleasant to go through your new creations. It is indeed nice to hear that you have thought of publishing the entire collection so that one enjoys the beautiful contents in continuity and if possible in one go. The themes are so relevant to present day. Let us hope it is just the beginning'.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The groundbreaking Audio Culture: Readings in Modern Music (Continuum; September 2004; paperback original) maps the aural and discursive terrain of vanguard music today. Rather than offering a history of contemporary music, Audio Culture traces the genealogy of current musical practices and theoretical concerns, drawing lines of connection between recent musical production and earlier moments of sonic experimentation. It aims to foreground the various rewirings of musical composition and performance that have taken place in the past few decades and to provide a critical and theoretical language for this new audio culture. This new and expanded edition of the Audio Culture contains twenty-five additional essays, including four newly-commissioned pieces. Taken as a whole, the book explores the interconnections among such forms as minimalism, indeterminacy, musique concrète, free improvisation, experimental music, avant-rock, dub reggae, ambient music, hip hop, and techno via writings by philosophers, cultural theorists, and composers. Instead of focusing on some "crossover" between "high art" and "popular culture," Audio Culture takes all these musics as experimental practices on par with, and linked to, one another. While cultural studies has tended to look at music (primarily popular music) from a sociological perspective, the concern here is philosophical, musical, and historical. Audio Culture includes writing by some of the most important musical thinkers of the past half-century, among them John Cage, Brian Eno, Ornette Coleman, Pauline Oliveros, Maryanne Amacher, Glenn Gould, Umberto Eco, Jacques Attali, Simon Reynolds, Eliane Radigue, David Toop, John Zorn, Karlheinz Stockhausen, and many others. Each essay has its own short introduction, helping the reader to place the essay within musical, historical, and conceptual contexts, and the volume concludes with a glossary, a timeline, and an extensive discography.

This book was released on 2020-12-10 with total page 896 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The field of Sound Studies has changed and developed dramatically over the last two decades involving a vast and dizzying array of work produced by those working in the arts, social sciences and sciences. The study of sound is inherently interdisciplinary and is undertaken both by those who specialize in sound and by others who wish to include sound as an intrinsic and indispensable element in their research. This is the first resource to provide a wide ranging, cross-cultural and interdisciplinary investigation and analysis of the ways in which researchers use a broad range of methodologies in order to pursue their sonic investigations. It brings together 49 specially commissioned chapters that ask a wide range of questions including; how can sound be used in current academic disciplines? Is sound as a methodological tool indispensable for Sound Studies and what can sound artists contribute to the discourse on methodology in Sound Studies? The editors also present 3 original chapters that work as provocative 'sonic methodological interventions' prefacing the 3 sections of the book.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1952. This book does not confine itself to German phonetics; it aims rather at showing by what processes and tricks of sound words have been shaped in the course of years; it is therefore a book on phonology as well. It should have a wide appeal to students of German. Moreover, since the treatment of laws and sound processes is comparative, it will be useful to students of other languages, particularly of the Scandinavian group and Dutch.

Book excerpt: A commonsense, self-contained introduction to the mathematics and physics of music; essential reading for musicians, music engineers, and anyone interested in the intersection of art and science. “Mathematics can be as effortless as humming a tune, if you know the tune,” writes Gareth Loy. In Musimathics, Loy teaches us the tune, providing a friendly and spirited tour of the mathematics of music—a commonsense, self-contained introduction for the nonspecialist reader. It is designed for musicians who find their art increasingly mediated by technology, and for anyone who is interested in the intersection of art and science. In Volume 1, Loy presents the materials of music (notes, intervals, and scales); the physical properties of music (frequency, amplitude, duration, and timbre); the perception of music and sound (how we hear); and music composition. Calling himself “a composer seduced into mathematics,” Loy provides answers to foundational questions about the mathematics of music accessibly yet rigorously. The examples given are all practical problems in music and audio. Additional material can be found at http://www.musimathics.com.
