Book excerpt: 'Fascinating ... Composer Andrew Gant is a masterful guide, introducing readers to the major players and key themes of an entrancing topic.' BBC History Magazine Whether you prefer Baroque or pop, Theremins or violins, the music you love and listen to shapes your world. But what shaped the music? Ranging across time and space, this book takes us on a grand musical tour from music's origins in prehistory right up to the twenty-first century. Charting the leaps in technology, thought and practice that led to extraordinary revolutions of music in each age, the book takes us through medieval Europe, Renaissance Italy and Jazz era America to reveal the rich history of music we still listen to today. From Mozart to McCartney, Schubert to Schoenberg, Professor Andrew Gant brings to life the people who made the music, their techniques and instruments, as well as the places their music was played, from sombre churches to rowdy taverns, stately courts to our very own homes.

Download or read book No Straight Lines written by Justin Hall and published by Fantagraphics Books. This book was released on 2013-08-03 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No Straight Lines showcases major names such as Alison Bechdel, Howard Cruse, and Ralf Koenig (one of Europe’s most popular cartoonists), as well as high-profile, crossover creators who have dabbled in LGBT cartooning, like legendary NYC artist David Wojnarowicz and media darling and advice columnist Dan Savage. No Straight Lines also spotlights many talented creators who never made it out of the queer comics ghetto, but produced amazing work that deserves wider attention. Queer cartooning encompasses some of the best and most interesting comics of the last four decades, with creators tackling complex issues of identity and a changing society with intelligence, humor, and imagination. This book celebrates this vibrant artistic underground by gathering together a collection of excellent stories that can be enjoyed by all. Until recently, queer cartooning existed in a parallel universe to the rest of comics, appearing only in gay newspapers and gay bookstores and not in comic book stores, mainstream bookstores or newspapers. The insular nature of the world of queer cartooning, however, created a fascinating artistic scene. LGBT comics have been an uncensored, internal conversation within the queer community, and thus provide a unique window into the hopes, fears, and fantasies of queer people for the last four decades. These comics have forged their aesthetics from the influences of underground comix, gay erotic art, punk zines, and the biting commentaries of drag queens, bull dykes, and other marginalized queers. They have analyzed their own communities, and their relationship with the broader society. They are smart, funny, and profound. No Straight Lines has been heralded by people interested in comics history, and people invested in LGBT culture will embrace it as a unique and invaluable collection.

Download or read book O Sing unto the Lord written by Andrew Gant and published by Profile Books. This book was released on 2015-09-24 with total page 605 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Andrew Gant's compelling account traces English church music from Anglo-Saxon origins to the present. It is a history of the music and of the people who made, sang and listened to it. It shows the role church music has played in ordinary lives and how it reflects those lives back to us. The author considers why church music remains so popular and frequently tops the classical charts and why the BBC's Choral Evensong remains the longest-running radio series ever. He shows how England's church music follows the contours of its history and is the soundtrack of its changing politics and culture, from the mysteries of the Mass to the elegant decorum of the Restoration anthem, from stern Puritanism to Victorian bombast, and thence to the fractured worlds of the twentieth century as heard in the music of Vaughan Williams and Britten. This is a book for everyone interested in the history of English music, culture and society.
Download or read book His Alpha written by Rachelle Mills and published by . This book was released on 2018-02-09 with total page 551 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If the moon made me this way, then why does it feel like a curse?He is the Alpha, and I am his Beta.It's time for me to bend straight - there are some lines I must not cross. But every time I see him, the lines curve, gnawing into my soul.This is our destiny, yet nobody can know that the Moon has both blessed and cursed us with this forbidden love.A hidden, dark fire. It was our secret. A secret we denied - a secret too dark to share.We don't bend that way.I left. I had to escape the torture, the heartache. I lived among humans. I studied them. I found myself. Or, should I say, The Professor discovered me. They can never know that a human male seduced me, or that I loved him - it means certain death for both of us. He taught me everything I know, made me the wolf I am today. But even that love was not enough.I return to my territory. Leaving the sophisticated freedom of the city for the stifling traditionalism of my pack - a place where my soul, my desire, my love, must be locked away and hidden.This ache is my one true companion, never leaving my side.Perhaps the pain never ends, but I must go on. I'm not the runt I once was. My body is lean, muscled, and powerful now. I see my transformation in their eyes.I see it in his eyes.He may be my Alpha, but he will come to me. The moon may have cursed us both, and our path may be full of torture, pain, and lines so curved that we get lost, but I have no choice.He has no choice.It is time for me to bend straight for the pack, but in my soul, I know my lines are curved and undulating, and that they all lead to him; my rightful mate. My cursed mate, one that fate demands and that our society forbids.I don't know how to go on...

Download or read book Tower of Hanoi Mathematical Rules written by Jung oh Choi and published by 최중오. This book was released on 2020-07-09 with total page 133 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tower of Hanoi is a simple mathematical puzzle that finds the minimum number of moves to move all discs to another peg(column) under two conditions. But in Tower of Hanoi, which looks simple, you can find various mathematical rules. Also you can create some Transformed Tower of Hanoi by adding moving conditions of the disc or by increasing the number of pegs. I want to stress that finding rules and expressing them logically are different. Of course, you can only express the rules if you can find the rules of movement of the disc. Therefore, you should not stop by discovering the rules of the disc, but consider how to express the rules you have found. There are many other rules to be found in Tower of Hanoi besides the minimum number of movements. You can also know the minimum number of movements in which each disc has moved or you can explore the rules using binary. To do this, you must be able to understand and express ‘the rules of sequence’. If you can explore the rules of Tower of Hanoi, then you can also explore Transformed Tower of Hanoi. But you don’t have to rush. This is because you need to know the difficult sequence of rules, including recurrence formula, to explore Transformed Tower of Hanoi.
