Book Synopsis "Music, Experiment and Mathematics in England, 1653?705 " by : Benjamin Wardhaugh
Download or read book "Music, Experiment and Mathematics in England, 1653?705 " written by Benjamin Wardhaugh and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How, in 1705, was Thomas Salmon, a parson from Bedfordshire, able to persuade the Royal Society that a musical performance could constitute a scientific experiment? Or that the judgement of a musical audience could provide evidence for a mathematically precise theory of musical tuning? This book presents answers to these questions. It constitutes a general history of quantitative music theory in the late seventeenth century as well as a detailed study of one part of that history: namely the applications of mathematical and mechanical methods of understanding to music that were produced in England between 1653 and 1705, beginning with the responses to Descartes's 1650 Compendium music?and ending with the Philosophical Transactions' account of the appearance of Thomas Salmon at the Royal Society in 1705. The book is organized around four key questions. Do musical pitches form a small set or a continuous spectrum? Is there a single faculty of hearing which can account for musical sensation, or is more than one faculty at work? What is the role of harmony in the mechanical world, and where can its effects be found? And what is the relationship between musical theory and musical practice? These are questions which are raised and discussed in the sources themselves, and they have wide significance for early modern theories of knowledge and sensation more generally, as well as providing a fascinating side light onto the world of the scientific revolution.

Book Synopsis Distance Points by : James S. Ackerman
Download or read book Distance Points written by James S. Ackerman and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 1994 with total page 598 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These essays by one of America's foremost historians of art and architecture range over theory and criticism, the search for connections between art and science in the Renaissance, and specific works of Renaissance architecture. The largest group of essays, dealing with the character of Renaissance architecture, are models of art historical scholarship in their direct approach to identifying the essentials of a building and the social and intellectual context in which they should be viewed. Another group of essays explores encounters between the traditions of artistic practice and early optics and color theory. The three essays that begin this collection bring to light the intellectual and moral concerns that underlie all of Ackerman's art historical work.
Book Synopsis Agricultural Fluctuations in Europe by : Wilhelm Abel
Download or read book Agricultural Fluctuations in Europe written by Wilhelm Abel and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-11-05 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wilhelm Abel's study of economic fluctuations over a period of seven hundred years has long been established as a core text in European agricultural history. Professor Abel was one of the first economic historians to make extensive use of statistical data, and his scholarship and approach have had a decisive effect on the orientation of economic and agricultural history. Using data on population, wages and rents from England, France, Germany and the Low Countries, and, on occasion, from Italy, Scandinavia and Poland, here Professor Abel demonstrates the striking similarity in the overall economic development for all these areas. He also analyses, the short-term fluctuations that have affected agricultural development within this economic framework, and is able to show the broad significance of the shape of the late medieval depression, the scale of the desertions of villages that accompanies it, and the implications of the sixteenth century price revolution. The book's importance lies in tracing the long-term trends that have characterized European economic development since the High Middle Ages, and as such it has made an invaluable contribution to all comparative analyses of different Western European countries since it was first published in 1980.

Mistress has the final say on what I wear when I am with Her and that includes when we are in public and in private. In private with my Mistress I should feel uncomfortable when fully clothed. I am in essence hiding my body from Her. The exceptions to this would be if it’s cold and/or we’re expecting company. 2. Mistress can decide what I’m going to wear even though we’re not going to be together at that time. What I wear however must not be a danger to me. 3. I am required to dress feminine at all times unless ordered not to. The exception would be if I need to dress differently for work or another public/vanilla activity of some sort. 4. I will look sexy for Mistress at all times. I will wear make-up when in Mistress’ presence, unless she doesn’t want me to. I know how important giving pleasure to my Mistress is and looking sexy gives Mistress pleasure and will impress Mistress’s friends. 5. I may never wear panties while in Mistress’ dwelling (or our mutual home), except to take them off when entering, and in preparation to go out. Of course the exception is when I’m given permission or ordered to wear them. 6. I wear dresses or skirts only, unless granted permission to wear something else. My BDSM role play outfits should always be ready to wear if Mistress wants me to. 7. When in private, (alone with Mistress,) if I want to put any clothing on, even a bra or panties, I will ask permission from my Mistress first.
