Harmonious Triads : Physicists, Musicians, and Instrument Makers in Ninteenth-century Germany
Cambridge [MA], MIT Press, (2006). orig.cloth, dustwrapper.. 24x15cm, x,395 pp.. Minor rubbing, An ink mark to top page-edge. VG.
¶ This work presents an analysis of the intersection of science and music in nineteenth-century Germany: how music provided physicists with a venue for experiments as well as a cultural resource, and how physics assisted musicians in their art and musical instrument makers in their craft. Historically, music was long classified as both art and science. Aspects of music - from the mathematics of tuning to the music of the celestial spheres - were primarily studied as science until the seventeenth century. In the nineteenth century, although scientists were less interested in the music of the spheres than the natural philosophers of earlier centuries, they remained committed to understanding the world of performing musicians and their instruments. In "Harmonious Triads", Myles Jackson analyzes the relationship of physicists, musicians, and instrument makers in nineteenth-century Germany. Musical instruments provided physicists with experimental systems, and physicists' research led directly to improvements in musical instrument manufacture and assisted musicians in their performances. Music also provided scientists with a cultural resource, which forged acquaintances and future collaborations. Jackson discusses experiments in acoustical vibrations that led to the invention of musical instruments and describes work with adiabatic phenomena that resulted in the improvement of the reed pipe, used by organ builders. He examines the collaborations of physicists and mechanicians aimed at standardizing beat and pitch and considers debates stirred by the

IT Revolution, 2020. Hardcover. Pp: 416. "It's no secret that we are living in the Digital Age. Technology companies make up seven of the world's ten largest firms by market capitalization. And the key to their success is the key to all modern organizations. Jonathan Smart, business agility practitioner, thought leader, and coach, reveals the patterns and antipatterns that will help organizations from every industry deliver better value sooner, safer, and happier through high levels of engagement, inclusion, and empowerment. Through his decades of experience in the technology world, Smart provides business leaders with a blueprint for creating a world-class organization of the future. Through Agile and Lean ways of working, business leaders can empower teams to improve production, grow together, and create better services for their customers. These better ways of working have overflowed from the IT department to every corner of successful organizations, taking root in every industry from aerospace to accounting, insurance to shipping. This book is not about software development. It is not a book about the computer industry. This book is about applying agility across the entire organization. It's a book that will put you at the front of change and ahead of the competition"-. ISBN: 9781942788911. Cond./Kwaliteit: Goed.
