Book excerpt: In the vast expanse of cosmic exploration, a profound reimagining of the universe's origins and evolution beckons our intellectual curiosity. Within these pages unfolds a quest that transcends conventional boundaries, delving into the intricate interplay of time and energy that influences the very essence of existence. Anchored in Einstein's groundbreaking theory of relativity, this journey reveals a tapestry of revelations woven by the symphonic dynamics of fundamental forces. Central to this exploration is "The Trifold Temporal Paradigm," intricately weaving Forward Time, Backward Time, and Cyclic Time into a symphony of distinct patterns. Beyond theoretical discourse, this expedition illuminates the enigmatic genesis of the universe, its complex evolution, and the harmonious rhythm that echoes throughout cosmic epochs.
Download or read book Sibelius Studies written by Timothy L. Jackson and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2001-01-11 with total page 426 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book, first published in 2001, presents a portrait of Jean Sibelius as composer and man, a figure of national and international significance, patriot, husband and father. Three introductory articles explore Sibelius's reception in Finland, performance practice and recording history, and Sibelius's aesthetic position with regard to modernity. The second group of essays examines issues of ideology, sexuality and mythology, and their relationship to musical structure and compositional genesis. Studies of the Second, Fourth, Sixth, and Seventh Symphonies are presented in the concluding section. Collectively, these articles address historical, theoretical and analytical issues in Sibelius's most important works. The analyses are supported by investigations of Sibelius's compositional process as documented by the manuscripts and sketches primarily in the Sibelius Collection of the Helsinki University Library. Exploring Sibelius's innovative approach to tonality, form and texture, the book delineates his unique brand of modernism, which has proven highly influential in the late twentieth century.
Download or read book Mathematics and Computation in Music written by Timour Klouche and published by Springer. This book was released on 2010-07-19 with total page 546 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume comprises a selection of papers presented at the first International C- ference on Mathematics and Computation in Music – mcm2007. The conference took place at the Staatliches Institut für Musikforschung PK – National Institute for Music Research in Berlin during May 18–20, 2007 and was jointly organized by the National Institute for Music Research Berlin and the Society of Mathematics and Computation in Music. The papers were selected for the conference by the program committee and classfied into talks and posters. All papers underwent further selection, revision and elaboration for this book publication. The articles cover a research field which is heterogeneous with respect to content, scientific language and methodology. On one hand, this reflects the heterogeneity and richness of the musical subject domain itself. On the other hand, it exemplifies a t- sion which has been explicitly intended by both the organizers and the founders of the society, namely to support the integration of mathematical and computational - proaches to music theory, composition, analysis and performance. The subdivision into three parts reflects the original structure of the program. These parts are opened by invited papers and followed by talks and posters.

Download or read book Music between Ontology and Ideology written by Milena Bozhikova and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2020-02-26 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on two main topics related to the essence of music, the first of which problematizes the ontological unity of music, philosophy and mathematics. The second concern of the text is the direction of social ontology or the existence of music in the context of ideological debates about style. The book looks at music’s role as part of social ontology, and the part it played in documentarily recreating the post-Stalinism of the late 1950s and 1960s.
Download or read book Smelling Land written by David Sanborn Scott and published by Queen's Printer Publishing. This book was released on 2008 with total page 516 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Resolving the escalating issues surrounding climate destabilization will be one of the most important environmental challenges we face this century. Dr David Sanborn Scott, one of Canada's foremost energy experts, clearly demonstrates that we have only one real choice - Hydrogen. Using literate, lay-accessible, sometimes lyrical but never trivial explanations, Smelling Land gives a clear and comprehensive examination of: The architecture of civilization's energy systems; The critical role of energy currencies and the widespred blunders when this role is not recognized; How to evaluate environmental intrusion and general principles for environmental gentility; The mechanisms and status of climate disruption; Sustainability and the REASONS for a coming Hydrogen Age; Energy source options -to identify realistic expectations and expose myths; The wonders of hydrogen systems, from airplanes, to cars, submarines, laptop computers, mobile phones and heart pacers; How fast we can get to the Hydrogen Age (if we wake up to the true severity of the climate risk), why and what it will be like.
Download or read book Physis Biopower and Biothermodynamics written by Enrique Leff and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-04-16 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Building upon the idea that our current "environmental question" arises from the history of metaphysics—which privileged thought about Being (or ontology) over the conditions of life—this book reinterprets Heraclitus’s notion of physis as the fundamental, emergent potency of life, as the category to-be-thought by thinkers. In so doing, it deconstructs the interpretation offered by Heidegger and so stresses the struggle between the creative force of life and its subjection to the human Logos or "meaning". Physis, understood as the pre-ontological potentiality of life itself, thus becomes the cornerstone of a materialist philosophy of life. Following engagements with the work of Nietzsche, Foucault, and Janicaud to explore the significance of human intervention into the realm of life via the "will to power", "biopower" and the "power of rationality" respectively, the author explores twentieth-century rearticulations of the concept of physis through a range of developments in biothermodynamics, thus grounding a new philosophy of life and a new bioeconomics in a revisited biothermodynamics centered on the concept of negentropy. An extensive engagement with the history and development of thought about the generative force of life on Earth, Physis, Biopower, Biothermodynamics, and Bioeconomics: The Fire of Life will appeal to scholars of philosophy, social theory, and political theory with interests in environmental thought, political ecology, and questions of sustainability.

Download or read book Leadership and Cultural Change written by Ramona Houmanfar and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-10-16 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Contemporary confluences of leadership decision-making and citizenship behavior often unintentionally contribute to the depletion of the world’s resources – escalating health, education, and social crises, as well as community, societal, and cultural struggles – to adapt to emerging global shifts. Leadership and management practices in this context affect the wellbeing of organizational members (e.g., their safety, health, financial security, etc.) but also entail positive or negative impacts on consumer practices and collective community well-being (e.g., education, obesity, cancer, safe or green driving, energy conservation, diversity based health care, etc.). Decision-making in most businesses and organizations is largely responsive to demands for short-term profit or cost minimization. On the consumer side, both cultural values and the corporate marketing practices that sustain them encourage high levels of consumption necessary to sustain corporate practices. In exploring the emerging applications of behavior science to these challenges, this book showcases emerging work by internationally recognized scholars on leadership and cultural change. The book will aid organizations and leaders in creating new models of stewardship, and will open opportunities for innovation while adapting and responding to growing social upheaval, technological advances, and environmental concerns, as well as crises in the global economy, health, education, and environment. This book was originally published as a special issue of the Journal of Organizational Behavior Management.
Download or read book The Distribution of the Galaxies written by William C. Saslaw and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2000 with total page 524 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This topical volume examines one of the leading problems in astronomy - how galaxies cluster in our Universe. This book, first published in 2000, describes gravitational theory, computer simulations and observations related to galaxy distribution functions. It embeds distribution functions in a broader astronomical context, including other exciting contemporary topics such as correlation functions, fractals, bound clusters, topology, percolation and minimal spanning trees. Key results are derived and the necessary gravitational physics provided to ensure the book is self-contained. Throughout the book, theory, computer simulation and observation are carefully interwoven and critically compared. The book also shows how future observations can test the theoretical models for the evolution of galaxy clustering at early times in our Universe. This clear and authoritative volume is written at a level suitable for graduate students, and will be of key interest to astronomers, cosmologists, physicists and applied statisticians.

Download or read book The Musical Theory of Existence written by Steve Madison and published by Magus Books. This book was released on with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Existence is mathematical music, and all of us are the instruments playing the cosmic symphony. Our task is simple – to arrive not at any old music, but the finest music that can possibly be played. The ideal music is reached when every player is in perfect harmony with every other player, and not a single discordant note is played. The orchestra is as one, and there are no disruptive soloists trying to play their own song. It takes the lifetime of the universe to arrive at this perfect music. Every disruptive soloist has to be brought into the collective orchestra. Who is the Devil? He's the final hold-out, the last player to be integrated into the orchestra. Who is the conductor of the orchestra? It's Abraxas, the first God, the first to play a tuneful song and recruit others to his song. Whose side are you on?
Download or read book The Muse as Eros written by Stephen Downes and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-09-29 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Muse has long been figured as a divine or erotically alluring consort to the virile male artist, who may inspire him or lead him to the edge of madness. This book explores the changing cultural expressions of the relationship between the male artist with a beloved, imagined or desired Muse, to offer new and penetrating perspectives on musical representations and transformations of creative masculine subjectivity, and important aspects of the shift from the styles and aesthetics of Romantic Idealism to Modernist Anxiety in music of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Each of the chapters begins with explorations into male artists' relationships with their Muse, and moves to analysis and interpretation which uncovers cultural constructions of masculine artistic inspiration and production, and their association with creatively inspiring and erotically charged relationships with a Muse. New insights are offered into the musical meaning and cultural significance of selected works by Rossini, Beethoven, Chopin, Liszt, Schumann, Wagner, Sibelius, Mahler, Bartók, Scriabin, Szymanowski, Debussy, Berg, Poulenc and Weill.
