How Music Works - John Powell - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

How Music Works - John Powell - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Have you ever listened to an incredible piece of music and wondered exactly why it makes you want to dance or cry? Are you mystified by how musicians just ''know'' what notes to play next when they''re improvising? Or why certain notes sound great together and others clash? Discover the answers in this ear-opening tour of how music works. John Powell, a classically-trained composer and a physics professor, decided to write this entertaining, pain-free guide to the ingredients of music when he discovered that all the other books on the subject gave him a headache. Here he reveals the often little-known facts and fascinating science behind what we listen to, explaining the basics of harmony, scales, chords, keys and rhythm in a way that''s easy for everyone to understand. He also shows us why a note has a different sound to a normal noise, why Chinese people are more likely to have perfect pitch, and even why Beethoven and Led Zeppelin are musically similar. This book reveals things that people who play music should know but often don''t, and will help all of us - even if we can''t read a note - increase our listening pleasure.

How Your Motorcycle Works - Peter Henshaw - Bog - David & Charles - Plusbog.dk

How Your Motorcycle Works - Peter Henshaw - Bog - David & Charles - Plusbog.dk

No longer the simple machines they used to be, the modern motorcycle is as complex and diverse as the modern car. In an ever more competitive market, manufacturers are looking for new solutions to old problems – what’s the most efficient transmission? How can emissions and fuel consumption be cut without affecting power? And how can new models be differentiated from one another? This book explains how the modern motorcycle works, in a straightforward style that’s jargon-free and easy to read. It assumes no prior mechanical knowledge, simply an interest in a motorcycle’s workings, and an open mind. The text is accompanied by superb cutaway illustrations from the major motorcycle manufacturers, clearly showing how individual components and systems function. It covers the latest innovations, including traction control and pushbutton gear change, as well as long-established technologies, such as fuel injection and ABS. How your motorcycle works will not transform you into a motorcycle engineer or expert mechanic, but in explaining precisely how everything works, it will increase your understanding, and thus enjoyment, of the machine.

How to Build a Human - Emma Byrne - Bog - Profile Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

''Byrne''s book is about scientific parenting, and it is very welcome indeed ... breezy and digestible ... this is such a good book'' Tom Whipple, The Times Kids aren''t all the same. You can''t follow instructions and expect success every time. So what if parents approached their children as questions to be answered and not problems to be solved? Scientist Emma Byrne takes evidence-based information on everything from physical and emotional development to what is really happening during sleep and separation anxiety, then shows how to apply it to the unique child in front of you. She challenges perceived wisdom by focusing on the variance as well as the mean - because your child is an individual, not an average. Like all good scientists, you''re going to have a few missteps along the way. You''ll reach dead ends; you''ll need to wrack your brain for new approaches. But by staying curious, creative and paying attention to what''s really happening with your family, Emma Byrne will help you figure it out. Just in time for everything to change once again.
