Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The lever appears to be a very simple object, a tool used since ancient times for the most primitive of tasks: to lift and to balance. Why, then, were prominent intellectuals active around 1800 in areas as diverse as science, philosophy, and literature inspired to think and write about levers? In The Lever as Instrument of Reason, readers will discover the remarkable ways in which the lever is used to model the construction of knowledge and to mobilize new ideas among diverse disciplines. These acts of construction are shown to model key aspects of the human, from the more abstract processes of moral decision-making to a quite literal equation of the powerful human ego with the supposed stability and power of the fulcrum point.

Book excerpt: In the fall of 2015, a collection of faculty at liberal arts colleges began a conversation about the challenges we faced as instructors: Why were there so few course materials accessible to undergraduates and lay readers that reflected current scholarly debate? How can we convey the relevance of studying music history to current and future generations of students? And how might we represent and reflect the myriad, often conflicting perspectives, positions, and identities that make up both music’s history and the writers of history? Here we offer one response to those questions. Open Access Musicology is a collection of essays, written in an accessible style and with a focus on modes of inquiry rather than content coverage. Our authors draw from their experience as scholars but also as teachers. They have been asked to describe why they became musicologists in the first place and how their individual paths led to the topics they explore and the questions they pose. Like most scholarly literature, the essays have all been reviewed by experts in the field. Unlike all scholarly literature, the essays have also been reviewed by students at a variety of institutions for clarity and relevance. These essays are intended for undergraduates, graduate students, and interested readers without any particular expertise. They can be incorporated into courses on a range of topics as standalone readings or used to supplement textbooks. The topics introduce and explore a variety of subjects, practices, and methods but, above all, seek to stimulate classroom discussion on music history’s relevance to performers, listeners, and citizens.

The answer to this question is very similar to those already given, when speaking of the proportions of the pallet. Any increase of length on the lever will require a greater radius of impulse, or a greater distance of the impulse-pin from the balance-centre, if the angle of lifting shall remain the same, and consequently the arc of intersection will be longer, and the friction of the acting parts must augment in the same ratio. The force transmitted both in the unlocking-and the impulseaction is the same, whether the lever be long or short, provided the angles performed and the proportions of lever-length and impulse-radius remain the same in both cases, and the only difference consists in the greater breadth of intersection, and the increased friction connected with the long lever. These considerations would lead to employing as short levers as possible, but it must be observed here, that the forementioned diminution of the intended effect of movement, by the necessary side-shake in the pivot-holes, must be taken notice of, because the loss, arising from this circumstance, though an absolute quantity, is in very different proportions to the extent of the distance to be performed by the fork and roller-action. Therefore it is advisable not to go too far in either direction, and it may be esteemed a good proportion to make the lever not so long as to allow its arbor standing beyond the circumference of the balance. One consequence of the short lever in all 3/ platewatches will be, that ithe pallet-arbor must be made veiy short and the escape-pinion too, if the escapement is not set in straight line, but the advantages of diminished friction outweigh this little defect of construction so much, that we see all the...

Book excerpt: Eric Gill's opinionated manifesto on typography argues that 'a good piece of lettering is as beautiful a thing to see as any sculpture or painted picture'. This essay explores the place of typography in culture and is also a moral treatise celebrating the role of craftsmanship in an industrial age. Gill, a sculptor, engraver, printmaker and creator of many classic typefaces that can be seen around us today, fused art, history and polemic in a visionary work which has been hugely influential on modern graphic design. 'Written with clarity, humility and a touch of humour . . . timeless and absorbing' Paul Rand, The New York Times 'His lettering was clear, confident and hugely influential on the development of modern type design. The world has now caught up with Gill' Guardian How do we see the world around us? This is one of a number of pivotal works by creative thinkers like John Berger and Susan Sontag whose writings on art, design and the media have changed our vision for ever.
