Description:

This book is a case study of economic change on a small Pacific island. The island, called Kosrae by the inhabitants, lies in the eastern Caroline Islands, which are part of the geographic and culture area known popularly as Micronesia. The author’s major aim is to show how economic change in one of the island’s four villages is affected by the recent policies of the United States government, which has administered the widely scattered islands of Micronesia since 1947.

Description:

Per usare una fortunata immagine di Charles Rosen, suonare al pianoforte musica scritta per le voci o per altri strumenti può essere paragonato a guardare riproduzioni in bianco e nero di quadri, di stampe o di fotografie. Prima dell’invenzione della fotografia a colori, infatti, questo era il modo in cui si studiavano i quadri dei musei troppo lontani da raggiungere. La fotografia in bianco e nero dava informazioni soddisfacenti sulle opere d’arte, poiché il disegno e la forma (che la fotografia era in grado di riprodurre) erano considerati gli aspetti fondamentali della pittura. Lo stesso si può dire delle trascrizioni pianistiche rispetto agli originali. Anche la trascrizione pianistica dava informazioni sufficienti sull’originale, poiché riproduceva in maniera soddisfacente quelli che allora erano considerati gli aspetti fondamentali della musica: le linee melodiche, le armonie, il ritmo.
Questo lavoro si prefigge di affrontare in maniera sistematica la storia della trascrizione per pianoforte. La prima parte dell’opera (capitolo 1) è dedicata alla definizione del termine e tratteggia, con qualche cenno storico, le principali esigenze che hanno portato i compositori a trascrivere per lo stesso o diverso organico strumentale. Si esamina quindi la nascita e la prima evoluzione dello strumento pianoforte, e i primi esempi di trascrizioni per pianoforte di un certo rilievo storico. Il secondo e terzo capitolo indagano il periodo di maggior fulgore del genere, con un esame approfondito delle due figure più importanti di trascrittori per pianoforte (Liszt e Busoni), e uno sguardo ai loro precursori e ai loro contemporanei. Una sezione è dedicata al Novecento russo, da Godovskij a Stravinskij. Un supporto indispensabile alla trattazione è fornito dall’analisi del testo musicale.
La storia della trascrizione pianistica è sempre trattata di pari passo con la storia del pianoforte. Ciò permette, da un lato, di dimostrare l’importanza che il genere ebbe nella letteratura pianistica e dall’altro, soprattutto, di dimostrare come l’evoluzione e la fortuna del genere trascrizione costituisca forse la testimonianza più viva e diretta dell’evoluzione e della fortuna dello stesso strumento.

Description:

Electricity has shaped the modern world. But how has it affected our health and environment?

Over the last 220 years, society has evolved a universal belief that electricity is ‘safe’ for humanity and the planet. Scientist and journalist Arthur Firstenberg disrupts this conviction by telling the story of electricity in a way it has never been told before-from an environmental point of view-by detailing the effects that this fundamental societal building block has had on our health and our planet.

In The Invisible Rainbow, Firstenberg traces the history of electricity from the early eighteenth century to the present, making a compelling case that many environmental problems, as well as the major diseases of industrialized civilization-heart disease, diabetes, and cancer-are related to electrical pollution.

Description:

For readers of E. H. Gombrich’s A Little History of the World, an equally irresistible volume that brings history’s greatest philosophers to life

“A primer in human existence: philosophy has rarely seemed so lucid, so important, so worth doing and so easy to enter into. . . . A wonderful introduction for anyone who’s ever felt curious about almost anything.”-Sarah Bakewell, author of How To Live: A Life of Montaigne in One Question and Twenty Attempts at an Answer

Philosophy begins with questions about the nature of reality and how we should live. These were the concerns of Socrates, who spent his days in the ancient Athenian marketplace asking awkward questions, disconcerting the people he met by showing them how little they genuinely understood. This engaging book introduces the great thinkers in Western philosophy and explores their most compelling ideas about the world and how best to live in it.

In forty brief chapters, Nigel Warburton guides us on a chronological tour of the major ideas in the history of philosophy. He provides interesting and often quirky stories of the lives and deaths of thought-provoking philosophers from Socrates, who chose to die by hemlock poisoning rather than live on without the freedom to think for himself, to Peter Singer, who asks the disquieting philosophical and ethical questions that haunt our own times.

Warburton not only makes philosophy accessible, he offers inspiration to think, argue, reason, and ask in the tradition of Socrates. A Little History of Philosophy presents the grand sweep of humanity’s search for philosophical understanding and invites all to join in the discussion.

Description:

Small Island introduced Andrea Levy to America and was acclaimed as “a triumph” (San Francisco Chronicle). It won both the Orange Prize and the Whitbread Book of the Year Award, was short-listed for the Man Booker Prize, and has sold over a million copies worldwide. With The Long Song, Levy once again reinvents the historical novel.

Told in the irresistibly willful and intimate voice of Miss July, with some editorial assistance from her son, Thomas, The Long Song is at once defiant, funny, and shocking. The child of a field slave on the Amity sugar plantation, July lives with her mother until Mrs. Caroline Mortimer, a recently transplanted English widow, decides to move her into the great house and rename her “Marguerite.”

Resourceful and mischievous, July soon becomes indispensable to her mistress. Together they live through the bloody Baptist war, followed by the violent and chaotic end of slavery. Taught to read and write so that she can help her mistress run the business, July remains bound to the plantation despite her “freedom.” It is the arrival of a young English overseer, Robert Goodwin, that will dramatically change life in the great house for both July and her mistress. Prompted and provoked by her son’s persistent questioning, July’s resilience and heartbreak are gradually revealed in this extraordinarily powerful story of slavery, revolution, freedom, and love.
