＜p＞＜strong＞This WWII pictorial history shares the personal images captured by a German photographer and soldier who fought on the Eastern Front.＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞The outcome of the Second World War was decided on the Eastern Front. Denied a swift victory over Stalin’s Red Army, Hitler’s Wehrmacht found itself in a bloody, protracted struggle that it was ill-prepared to fight. ＜em＞Fighting in the Ukraine＜/em＞ captures the drama and struggle of the Eastern Front through the extraordinary personal record of a professional photographer, Walter Grimm, who served in the German Army in a communications unit.＜/p＞ ＜p＞David Mitchelhill-Green brings Grimm’s previously unpublished photographs together with a highly informative introduction. The 300 evocative black and white images provide an absorbing insight into the daily life and privations of the ordinary German soldier amid the maelstrom of history’s largest conflict. The Ukrainian people, many of whom initially welcomed the Germans as liberators, freeing them from Bolshevik oppression, are also chronicled in this fascinating photographic study.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

＜p＞Barns of New York explores and celebrates the agricultural and architectural diversity of the Empire Stateーfrom Long Island to Lake Erie, the Southern Tier to the North Countryーproviding a unique compendium of the vernacular architecture of rural New York. Through descriptions of the appearance and working of representative historic farm buildings, Barns of New York also serves as an authoritative reference for historic preservation efforts across the state.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Cynthia G. Falk connects agricultural buildingsーboth extant examples and those long goneーwith the products and processes they made and make possible. Great attention is paid not only to main barns but also to agricultural outbuildings such as chicken coops, smokehouses, and windmills. Falk further emphasizes the types of buildings used to support the cultivation of products specifically associated with the Empire State, including hops, apples, cheese, and maple syrup.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Enhanced by more than two hundred contemporary and historic photographs and other images, this book provides historical, cultural, and economic context for understanding the rural landscape. In an appendix are lists of historic farm buildings open to the public at living history museums and historic sites. Through a greater awareness of the buildings found on farms throughout New York, readers will come away with an increased appreciation for the state’s rich agricultural and architectural legacy.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

＜p＞＜em＞＜strong＞Italian Forgers＜/strong＞＜/em＞ ＜strong＞takes an unorthodox approach to the fascinating topic of art forgery, focusing not on art forgery per se, but on the major forgery scandals that shifted the Italian art market in response to constant, and often intense, demand for Italian objects.＜/strong＞ By focusing on power dynamics that both precipitated forgery scandals and forged Italian cultural identities, this book connects the debates and discussions about three well-known Italian forgersーGiovanni Bastianini, Icilio Joni, and Alceo Dossenaーto anchor and investigate the mechanics of the Italian art market from unification through the fascist era.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Carol Helstosky examines foreign accounts of transactions and Italian writings about the art market. The actions and words of Italian dealers illustrate how the Italian art and antiquities market was an undeniably modern industry, on par with tourism in terms of its contribution to the Italian economy and to understandings of Italian identity. These accounts also reveal how dealers, artists, go-betweens, guides, and restorers worked to not only meet the intense demand for Italian products but also to develop highly sophisticated business practices to maintain financial stability and respond to shifts in demand consciously (but not always conscientiously).＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜em＞Italian Forgers＜/em＞ weaves a compelling narrative about the history of Italian identity, forgery, and the value of the past. As a result, Helstosky brings historical perspective to the study of art forgery and art fraud. She reveals how historical circumstances and structural imbalances of cultural power shaped the market for art and antiquities and amplified incidents of art deception and forgery scandals.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

＜p＞＜strong＞The conceptualization and execution of ＜em＞Repowering Cities＜/em＞ are terrific, and provides readers with a deep understanding of why, how, and to what effect cities have mobilized to mitigate the effects of climate change.＜/strong＞ーMichael J. Rich, Emory University, coauthor of ＜em＞Collaborative Governance for Urban Revitalization＜/em＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞City governments are rapidly becoming society's problem solvers. As Sara Hughes shows, nowhere is this more evident than in New York City, Los Angeles, and Toronto, where the cities' governments are taking on the challenge of addressing climate change.＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜em＞＜strong＞Repowering Cities＜/strong＞＜/em＞ focuses on the specific issue of reducing urban greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and develops a new framework for distinguishing analytically and empirically the policy agendas city governments develop for reducing GHG emissions, the governing strategies they use to implement these agendas, and the direct and catalytic means by which they contribute to climate change mitigation. Hughes uses her framework to assess the successes and failures experienced in New York City, Los Angeles, and Toronto as those agenda-setting cities have addressed climate change. She then identifies strategies for moving from incremental to transformative change by pinpointing governing strategies able to mobilize the needed resources and actors, build participatory institutions, create capacity for climate-smart governance, and broaden coalitions for urban climate change policy.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

＜p＞＜strong＞Levine, Grengs, and Merlin marshal a compelling case to shift to accessibility-oriented planning, providing much needed conceptual clarity as to what accessibility is and is not. But their book also represents a major step toward transforming accessibility from a vaguely defined aspiration into concrete measures that can guide planning decisions. ー ＜em＞Journal of the American Planning Association＜/em＞＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞In ＜em＞＜strong＞From Mobility to Accessibility＜/strong＞＜/em＞, an expert team of researchers flips the tables on the standard models for evaluating regional transportation performance. Jonathan Levine, Joe Grengs, and Louis A. Merlin argue for an "accessibility shift" whereby transportation planning, and the transportation dimensions of land-use planning, would be based on people's ability to reach destinations, rather than on their ability to travel fast.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Existing models for planning and evaluating transportation, which have taken vehicle speeds as the most important measure, would make sense if movement were the purpose of transportation. But it is the ability to reach destinations, not movement per se, that people seek from their transportation systems. While the concept of accessibility has been around for the better part of a century, ＜em＞＜strong＞From Mobility to Accessibility＜/strong＞＜/em＞ shows that the accessibility shift is compelled by the fundamental purpose of transportation. The book argues that the shift would be transformative to the practice of both transportation and land-use planning but is impeded by many conceptual obstacles regarding the nature of accessibility and its potential for guiding development of the built environment. By redefining success in transportation, the book provides city planners, decisionmakers, and scholars a path to reforming the practice of transportation and land-use planning in modern cities and metropolitan areas.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

＜p＞＜strong＞In＜/strong＞ ＜em＞＜strong＞Mallparks＜/strong＞＜/em＞**, Michael T.

＜p＞The Scientific Revolution of the seventeenth century has often been called a decisive turning point in human history. It represents, for good or ill, the birth of modern science and modern ways of viewing the world. In ＜em＞What Galileo Saw＜/em＞, Lawrence Lipking offers a new perspective on how to understand what happened then, arguing that artistic imagination and creativity as much as rational thought played a critical role in creating new visions of science and in shaping stories about eye-opening discoveries in cosmology, natural history, engineering, and the life sciences.＜/p＞ ＜p＞When Galileo saw the face of the Moon and the moons of Jupiter, Lipking writes, he had to picture a cosmos that could account for them. Kepler thought his geometry could open a window into the mind of God. Francis Bacon's natural history envisioned an order of things that would replace the illusions of language with solid evidence and transform notions of life and death. Descartes designed a hypothetical "Book of Nature" to explain how everything in the universe was constructed. Thomas Browne reconceived the boundaries of truth and error. Robert Hooke, like Leonardo, was both researcher and artist; his schemes illuminate the microscopic and the macrocosmic. And when Isaac Newton imagined nature as a coherent and comprehensive mathematical system, he redefined the goals of science and the meaning of genius.＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜em＞What Galileo Saw＜/em＞ bridges the divide between science and art; it brings together Galileo and Milton, Bacon and Shakespeare. Lipking enters the minds and the workshops where the Scientific Revolution was fashioned, drawing on art, literature, and the history of science to reimagine how perceptions about the world and human life could change so drastically, and change forever.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

＜p＞Land-use policy is at the center of suburban political economies because everything has to happen somewhere but nothing happens by itself. In ＜em＞Suburb＜/em＞, Royce Hanson explores how well a century of strategic land-use decisions served the public interest in Montgomery County, Maryland, a suburb of Washington, D.C. Transformed from a rural hinterland into the home a million people and a half-million jobs, Montgomery County built a national reputation for innovation in land use policyーincluding inclusive zoning, linking zoning to master plans, preservation of farmland and open space, growth management, and transit-oriented development.A pervasive theme of ＜em＞Suburb＜/em＞ involves the struggle for influence over land use policy between two virtual suburban republics. Developers, their business allies, and sympathetic officials sought a virtuous cycle of market-guided growth in which land was a commodity and residents were customers who voted with their feet. Homeowners, environmentalists, and their allies saw themselves as citizens and stakeholders with moral claims on the way development occurred and made their wishes known at the ballot box. In a book that will be of particular interest to planning practitioners, attorneys, builders, and civic activists, Hanson evaluates how well the development pattern produced by decades of planning decisions served the public interest.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

＜p＞＜strong＞Shedding new light on both classic and lesser-known works in the Melville canon with particular attention to the author's literary use of the Bible,＜/strong＞ ＜em＞＜strong＞Neither Believer Nor Infidel＜/strong＞＜/em＞ ＜strong＞examines the debate between religious skepticism and Christian faith that infused Herman Melville's writings following Moby-Dick.＜/strong＞ Jonathan A. Cook's study is the first to focus on the decisive role of faith and doubt in Melville's writings following his mid-career turn to shorter fiction, and still later to poetry, as a result of the commercial failures of ＜em＞Moby-Dick＜/em＞ and ＜em＞Pierre＜/em＞.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Nathaniel Hawthorne claimed that Melville "can neither believe nor be comfortable in his unbelief," a remark that encapsulates an essential truth about Melville's attitude to Christianity. Like many of his Victorian contemporaries, Melville spent his literary career poised between an intellectual rejection of Christian dogma and an emotional attachment to the consolations of non-dogmatic Christian faith. Accompanying this ambivalence was a lifelong devotion to the text of the King James Bible as both moral sourcebook and literary template. Following a biographical overview of skeptical influences and manifestations in Melville's early life and career, Cook examines the evidence of religious doubt and belief in ＜em＞"Bartleby, the Scrivener," "Cock-a-Doodle-Doo!," "The Encantadas," Israel Potter, Battle-Pieces, Timoleon＜/em＞, and ＜em＞Billy Budd.＜/em＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞Accessible for both the general reader and the scholar, ＜em＞Neither Believer Nor Infidel＜/em＞ clarifies the ambiguities of Melville's pervasive use of religion in his fiction and poetry. In analyzing Melville's persistent oscillation between metaphysical rebellion and attenuated belief, Cook elucidates both well-known and under-appreciated works.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

＜p＞What does freedom sound like in the context of traditional Japanese theater? Where is the space for innovation, and where can this kind of innovation be located in the rigid instrumentation of the Noh drama? In ＜em＞Piercing the Structure of Tradition＜/em＞, Mariko Anno investigates flute performance as a space to explore the relationship between tradition and innovation. This first English-language monograph traces the characteristics of the Noh flute (nohkan), its music, and transmission methods and considers the instrument's potential for development in the modern world. Anno examines the musical structure and nohkan melodic patterns of five traditional Noh plays and assesses the degree to which Iss? School nohkan players maintain to this day the continuity of their musical traditions in three contemporary Noh plays influenced by Yeats. Her ethnographic approach draws on interviews with performers and case studies, as well as her personal reflection as a nohkan performer and disciple under the tutelage of Noh masters. She argues that traditions of musical style and usage remain influential in shaping contemporary Noh composition and performance practice, and the existing freedom within fixed patterns can be understood through a firm foundation in Noh tradition.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

＜p＞What constitutes an archive in architecture? What forms does it take? What epistemology does it perform? What kind of craft is archiving? ＜em＞Crafting History＜/em＞ provides answers and offers insights on the ontological granularity of the archive and its relationship with architecture as a complex enterprise that starts and ends much beyond the act of building or the life of a creator.＜/p＞ ＜p＞In this book we learn how objects are processed and catalogued, how a classification scheme is produced, how models and drawings are preserved, and how born-digital material battles time and technology obsolescence. We follow the work of conservators, librarians, cataloguers, digital archivists, museum technicians, curators, and architects, and we capture archiving in its mundane and practical course.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Based on ethnographic observation at the Canadian Centre for Architecture and interviews with a range of practitioners, including ?lvaro Siza and Peter Eisenman, Albena Yaneva traces archiving through the daily work and care of all its participants, scrutinizing their variable ontology, scale, and politics. Yaneva addresses the strategies practicing architects employ to envisage an archive-based future and tells a story about how architectural collections are crafted so as to form the epistemological basis of architectural history.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

＜p＞＜em＞Ways of the World＜/em＞ explores cosmopolitanism as it emerged during the Restoration and the role theater played in both memorializing and satirizing its implications and consequences. Rooted in the Stuart ambition to raise the status of England through two crucial investmentsーglobal traffic, including the slave trade, and cultural sophisticationーthis intensified global orientation led to the creation of global mercantile networks and to the rise of an urban British elite who drank Ethiopian coffee out of Asian porcelain at Ottoman-inspired coffeehouses. Restoration drama exposed cosmopolitanism's most embarrassing and troubling aspects, with such writers as Joseph Addison, Aphra Behn, John Dryden, and William Wycherley dramatizing the emotional and ethical dilemmas that imperial and commercial expansion brought to light.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Altering standard narratives about Restoration drama, Laura J. Rosenthal shows how the reinvention of theater in this periodーincluding technical innovations and the introduction of female performersーhelped make possible performances that held the actions of the nation up for scrutiny, simultaneously indulging and ridiculing the violence and exploitation being perpetuated. In doing so, ＜em＞Ways of the World＜/em＞ reveals an otherwise elusive consistency between Restoration genres (comedy, tragedy, heroic plays, and tragicomedy), disrupts conventional understandings of the rise and reception of early capitalism, and offers a fresh perspective on theatrical culture in the context of the shifting political realities of seventeenth- and eighteenth-century Britain.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

＜p＞?＜em＞Curious Sounds＜/em＞ is a collaborative art book by two exceptionally talented, multi-hyphenate Black artists: celebrity chef and visual and recording artist Roger Mooking, and author and filmmaker francesca Ekwuyasi (who now spells her name all lower case).＜/p＞ ＜p＞?Roger is best known as the host of such TV cooking programs as ＜em＞Man Fire Food, Heat Seekers＜/em＞ and ＜em＞Everyday Exotic＜/em＞ (all broadcast on the Cooking Channel) and as a guest judge on such Food Network shows as ＜em＞Chopped＜/em＞ and ＜em＞Guy’s Grocery Games.＜/em＞ francesca’s debut novel ＜em＞Butter Honey Pig Bread＜/em＞ was an international bestseller, winner of the Dayne Ogilvie Prize for LGBTQ+ Emerging Writers and shortlisted for a Lambda Literary Award and Amazon Canada First Novel Award, and longlisted for the Scotiabank Giller Prize. It was also runner-up in the 2021 edition of CBC Television’s Canada Reads competition.＜/p＞ ＜p＞?Roger and francesca met in 2020 when Roger was a panelist on Canada Reads and chose ＜em＞Butter Honey Pig Bread＜/em＞ to defend, almost winning the competition on the final day. Since then, they have become close friends and kindred spirits who both use different artistic mediums to explore social issues and themes such as identity and selfhood.＜/p＞ ＜p＞?＜em＞Curious Sounds＜/em＞ uses Roger’s art and stories as a focal point to find “beauty in the chaos.” It’s inspired by Roger’s ADHD diagnosis and the fact that the average human attention span lasts only 8.25 seconds. With this in mind, the book is a series of fleeting images and words that try to make sense of our time on this Earth. Comprising three sections that mimic the arc of a life, entitled “The Learning,” “The Living,” and “The Leaving,” the book also includes a series of essays and conversations between the two artists on how to find meaning in this chaotic world, especially from a Black perspective.＜/p＞ ＜p＞?＜em＞Curious Sounds＜/em＞ is a standalone book, but it is also part of a multimedia project by Roger that will include an interactive art exhibit (debuting in Hamilton, Canada this fall and likely to tour in the US in 2024) and an album of new songs, each of which inspired the stories that appear in the book. The book will include a free download link to the album.＜/p＞ ＜p＞?The audience for this book will be fans of Roger and francesca’s work, members of the Black community, and those who are impacted by attention deficit disorder.＜/p＞ ＜p＞?Publicity by Beth Parker PR.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

＜p＞＜strong＞＜em＞This Thing of Darkness＜/em＞, Joan Neuberger's engrossing production history of Sergei Eisenstein's Ivan the Terrible, is a major contribution to the study of Eisenstein and thus informs the history and theory of cinema and the study of Soviet culture and politics. Neuberger's ability to mine, interpret, and connect Eisenstein's voluminous, intriguingly digressive writings makes this book exceptional.＜/strong＞ー Karla Oeler, Stanford University＜/p＞ ＜p＞Sergei Eisenstein's unfinished masterpiece, ＜em＞Ivan the Terrible＜/em＞, was no ordinary movie. Commissioned by Joseph Stalin in 1941 to justify state terror in the sixteenth century and in the twentieth, the film's politics, style, and epic scope aroused controversy even before it was released. In ＜em＞＜strong＞This Thing of Darkness＜/strong＞＜/em＞, Joan Neuberger offers a sweeping account of the conception, making, and reception of ＜em＞Ivan the Terrible＜/em＞ that weaves together Eisenstein's expansive thinking and experimental practice with a groundbreaking new view of artistic production under Stalin. Drawing on Eisenstein's unpublished production notebooks, diaries, and manuscripts, Neuberger's riveting narrative chronicles Eisenstein's personal, creative, and political challenges and reveals the ways cinematic invention, artistic theory, political critique, and historical and psychological analysis went hand in hand in this famously complex film.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Neuberger's bold arguments and daring insights into every aspect of Eisenstein's work during this period, together with her ability to lucidly connect his wide-ranging late theory with his work on ＜em＞Ivan＜/em＞, show the director exploiting the institutions of Soviet artistic production not only to expose the cruelties of Stalin and his circle but to challenge the fundamental principles of Soviet ideology itself. ＜em＞Ivan the Terrible＜/em＞, she argues, shows us one of the world's greatest filmmakers and one of the 20th century's greatest artists observing the world around him and experimenting with every element of film art to explore the psychology of political ambition, uncover the history of recurring cycles of violence and lay bare the tragedy of absolute power.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

＜p＞＜strong＞This important book [...] is a helpful guide to thinking with things and teaching with things. Each entry challenges the reader to approach objects as historical actors that can speak to the changes and continuities of life in the late antique and early medieval world.＜/strong＞＜em＞ー Early Medieval Europe＜/em＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜strong＞Lavishly illustrated and engagingly written, Fifty Early Medieval Things demonstrates how to read objects in ways that make the distant past understandable and approachable.＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜em＞＜strong＞Fifty Early Medieval Things＜/strong＞＜/em＞ introduces readers to the material culture of late antique and early medieval Europe, north Africa, and western Asia. Ranging from Iran to Ireland and from Sweden to Tunisia, Deborah Deliyannis, Hendrik Dey, and Paolo Squatriti present fifty objectsーartifacts, structures, and archaeological featuresーcreated between the fourth and eleventh centuries, an ostensibly "Dark Age" whose cultural richness and complexity is often underappreciated. Each thing introduces important themes in the social, political, cultural, religious, and economic history of the postclassical era.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Some of the things, like a simple ard (plow) unearthed in Germany, illustrate changing cultural and technological horizons in the immediate aftermath of Rome's collapse; others, like the Arabic coin found in a Viking burial mound, indicate the interconnectedness of cultures in this period. Objects such as the Book of Kells and the palace-city of Anjar in present-day Jordan represent significant artistic and cultural achievements; more quotidian items (a bone comb, an oil lamp, a handful of chestnuts) belong to the material culture of everyday life. In their thing-by-thing descriptions, the authors connect each object to both specific local conditions and to the broader influences that shaped the first millennium AD, and also explore their use in modern scholarly interpretations, with suggestions for further reading.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

＜p＞Justin Jesty’s ＜em＞Art and Engagement in Early Postwar Japan＜/em＞ reframes the history of art and its politics in Japan post-1945. This fascinating cultural history addresses our broad understanding of the immediate postwar era moving toward the Cold War and subsequent consolidations of political and cultural life. At the same time, Jesty delves into an examination of the relationship between art and politics that approaches art as a mode of intervention, but he moves beyond the idea that the artwork or artist unilaterally authors political significance to trace how creations and expressive acts may (or may not) actually engage the terms of shared meaning and value.＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜em＞Art and Engagement in Early Postwar Japan＜/em＞ centers on a group of social realists on the radical left who hoped to wed their art with anti-capitalist and anti-war activism, a liberal art education movement whose focus on the child inspired innovation in documentary film, and a regional avant-garde group split between ambition and local loyalty. In each case, Jesty examines writings and artworks, together with the social movements they were a part of, to demonstrate how artーor more broadly, creative expressionーbecame a medium for collectivity and social engagement. He reveals a shared if varied aspiration to create a culture founded in amateur-professional interaction, expanded access to the tools of public authorship, and dispersed and participatory cultural forms that intersected easily with progressive movements. Highlighting the transformational nature of the early postwar, Jesty deftly contrasts it with the relative stasis, consolidation, and homogenization of the 1960s.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

＜p＞Ballrooms were at the center of social life in the Midwest for over a century, with some dance halls dating back to the late 1800s. Throughout Nebraska, these iconic structures hosted a number of community events and musical performances, bringing together friends, families, and neighbors to socialize, celebrate, and, most importantly, dance. Nebraska's ballrooms and dance halls brought people together, and these facilities were long the heartbeats of their towns. Pla Mor Ballroom in Lincoln, King's Ballroom in Norfolk, States Ballroom in Bee, and Howells Ballroom are only some of the legendary dance halls featured among these historic photographs. Although many ballrooms have since burned down, been repurposed, or been demolished, some of the dance halls remain active today, a reminder of a more magical, musical, bygone era.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

＜p＞Sounds are made of waves and rays. Those are the two basic kinds of energy we’re dealing with. Long waves, short rays and we need to really understand those two types of energies before we go any further with acoustics.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Nikola Tesla was a great physicist. He thought about things in terms of waves and energy. He said that if you want to find the secrets of the universe you should think in terms of energy, frequency and vibration. Well this certainly applies to the way you should think about room acoustics.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Waves are anything below one hundred cycles (Hertz/Hz.). Now you’ll see different break points in the literature but for purposes of this discussion and applying acoustical treatment to the issues you will find, we’re going to stay with a hundred and below because we can solve frequency issues at a hundred and above relatively easily.＜/p＞ ＜p＞So 100 Hz. and below are real long waves. Think of them in terms of ocean waves, a big swell starting far out in the ocean. A thirty cycle wave is thirty seven foot long. They’re the most problematic of all because they don't want to fit in small rooms and, let’s face it, thirty seven feet...none of us have rooms that big. What happens when things don't fit in confined spaces? They create pressure (think trying to fit into the clothes you used to wear as child... not a pretty sight!). In room acoustics, that pressure is called modal pressure or room modes.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Now rays, on the other hand, are much shorter wavelengths. They’re greater than a hundred Hertz. So think of a 1,100 Hz. wave as being about a foot long. As a result, these guys contribute to different room acoustic problems, namely reflections, comb filtering, speaker boundary interference effect (SBIE) and poor diffusion. We'll look at all of these terms, what they mean and how they affect you when mixing or listening to music in the coming discussion.＜/p＞ ＜p＞So if you're want to get good sound in your room, you need to grasp these fundamentals and then apply the correct treatment to solving your problems. And in this book I'll walk you through just what those options are and how you can do it.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

＜p＞Bach's ＜em＞St. Matthew Passion＜/em＞ is universally acknowledged to be one of the world's supreme musical masterpieces, yet in the years after Bach's death it was forgotten by all but a small number of his pupils and admirers. The public rediscovered it in 1829, when Felix Mendelssohn conducted the work before a glittering audience of Berlin artists and intellectuals, Prussian royals, and civic notables. The concert soon became the stuff of legend, sparking a revival of interest in and performance of Bach that has continued to this day.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Mendelssohn's performance gave rise to the notion that recovering and performing Bach's music was somehow "national work." In 1865 Wagner would claim that Bach embodied "the history of the German spirit's inmost life." That the man most responsible for the revival of a masterwork of German Protestant culture was himself a converted Jew struck contemporaries as less remarkable than it does us todayーa statement that embraces both the great achievements and the disasters of 150 years of German history.＜/p＞ ＜p＞In this book, Celia Applegate asks why this particular performance crystallized the hitherto inchoate notion that music was central to Germans' collective identity. She begins with a wonderfully readable reconstruction of the performance itself and then moves back in time to pull apart the various cultural strands that would come together that afternoon in the Singakademie. The author investigates the role played by intellectuals, journalists, and amateur musicians (she is one herself) in developing the notion that Germans were "the people of music." Applegate assesses the impact on music's cultural place of the renewal of German Protestantism, historicism, the mania for collecting and restoring, and romanticism. In her conclusion, she looks at the subsequent careers of her protagonists and the lasting reverberations of the 1829 performance itself.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

＜p＞＜strong＞Kirshner's commentary on these and other films is stimulating...Kirshner's book provides intriguing insights for anyone interested in the relation between film and wider culture.＜/strong＞ー＜em＞The Journal of American Culture＜/em＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞Between 1967 and 1976 a number of extraordinary factors converged to produce an uncommonly adventurous era in the history of American film. The end of censorship, the decline of the studio system, economic changes in the industry, and demographic shifts among audiences, filmmakers, and critics created an unprecedented opportunity for a new type of Hollywood movie, one that Jonathan Kirshner identifies as the "seventies film." In ＜em＞＜strong＞Hollywood's Last Golden Age＜/strong＞＜/em＞, Kirshner shows the ways in which key films from this periodーincluding ＜em＞Chinatown＜/em＞, ＜em＞Five Easy Pieces＜/em＞, ＜em＞The Graduate＜/em＞, and ＜em＞Nashville＜/em＞, as well as underappreciated films such as ＜em＞The Friends of Eddie Coyle＜/em＞, ＜em＞Klute＜/em＞, and ＜em＞Night Moves＜/em＞ーwere important works of art in continuous dialogue with the political, social, personal, and philosophical issues of their times.＜/p＞ ＜p＞These "seventies films" reflected the era's social and political upheavals: the civil rights movement, the domestic consequences of the Vietnam war, the sexual revolution, women's liberation, the end of the long postwar economic boom, the Shakespearean saga of the Nixon Administration and Watergate. Hollywood films, in this brief, exceptional moment, embraced a new aesthetic and a new approach to storytelling, creating self-consciously gritty, character-driven explorations of moral and narrative ambiguity. Although the rise of the blockbuster in the second half of the 1970s largely ended Hollywood’s embrace of more challenging films, Kirshner argues that seventies filmmakers showed that it was possible to combine commercial entertainment with serious explorations of politics, society, and characters’ interior lives.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。
