1923 – Lenin, Luxemburg, Korsch, Lukács, Bloch
Das imperiale Zeitalter bedeutete die umfassende Transformation von Gesellschaft, Ökonomie, Wissenschaft und Kultur, den Widerruf der Sozialutopien und das Ende liberal-bürgerlicher Aufklärung ebenso wie den Zerfall der einst dialektischen Kritik. 1923, fünf Jahre nach dem Ende des Ersten Weltkriegs, sind dessen Ursachen weder theoretisch aufgeklärt, geschweige denn praktisch aus der Welt. Stattdessen herrscht Dauerkrise, die in der Großen Depression ihren Höhepunkt erreichen wird. Während die Novemberrevolution scheitert, beginnt der Aufstieg des Faschismus. Und während die gesellschaftlichen und ökonomischen Verhältnisse die Menschen ans Bestehende fesseln, entpuppt sich die Okt...
How music grew, from prehistoric times to the present day
In 'How Music Grew, from Prehistoric Times to the Present Day,' editors Marion Bauer and Ethel R. Peyser present an enlightening anthology that traces the profound evolution of music across epochs and cultures. This collection traverses a wide tapestry of musical styles—from primal rhythms of early man to the symphonic complexities of modernity. With a balanced curation of historical narratives, the anthology thoughtfully captures the essence of music as both a universal language and a reflection of time-specific societal influences. The synergy of pieces portrays not just an evolution of sound, but also an insightful dialogue with the cultural facets that both influence and are influenced...

Heart Rate Variability, Health and Well-being: A Systems Perspective
The development of a new tool, analytic device, or approach frequently facilitates rapid growth in scientific understanding, although the process is seldom linear. The study of heart rate variability (HRV) defined as the extent to which beat-to-beat variation in heart rate varies, is a rapidly maturing paradigm that integrates health and wellness observations across a wide variety of biomedical and psychosocial phenomena and illustrates this nonlinear path of development. The utility of HRV as an analytic and interventive technique goes far beyond its original application as a robust predictor of sudden cardiac death. This Research Topic aims to provide a conceptual framework to use in explo...
A History of Geometrical Methods
Full and authoritative, this history of the techniques for dealing with geometric questions begins with synthetic geometry and its origins in Babylonian and Egyptian mathematics; reviews the contributions of China, Japan, India, and Greece; and discusses the non-Euclidean geometries. Subsequent sections cover algebraic geometry, starting with the precursors and advancing to the great awakening with Descartes; and differential geometry, from the early work of Huygens and Newton to projective and absolute differential geometry. The author's emphasis on proofs and notations, his comparisons between older and newer methods, and his references to over 600 primary and secondary sources make this book an invaluable reference. 1940 edition.
Mozart
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart is one of the great icons of Western music. An amazing prodigy--he toured the capitals of Europe while still a child, astonishing royalty and professional musicians with his precocious skills--he wrote as an adult some of the finest music in the entire European tradition. Julian Rushton offers a concise and up-to-date biography of this musical genius, combining a well-researched life of the composer with an introduction to the works--symphonic, chamber, sacred, and theatrical--of one of the few musicians in history to have written undisputed masterpieces across every genre of his time. Rushton offers a vivid portrait of the composer, ranging from Mozart the Wunderkind...
