Mechanics
Author: Serhii Stepanov
Publisher: Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG
ISBN: 3110515881
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 404
Book Description
In contrast to other introductions to special relativity, this one aims at a conceptually clear presentation of the theory. While not shying away from the proper mathematics, an emphasis is placed on an easy understanding of the underlying concepts, rather than technical calulcations only. With an entertaining writing style, comic-like illustrations and instructive problems, this textbook makes the entry to special relativity a lot easier.

Jazz and Postwar French Identity
Author: Elizabeth Vihlen McGregor
Publisher: Lexington Books
ISBN: 1498528775
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 291
Book Description
In the context of a shifting domestic and international status quo that was evolving in the decades following World War II, French audiences used jazz as a means of negotiating a wide range of issues that were pressing to them and to their fellow citizens. Despite the fact that jazz was fundamentally linked to the multicultural through its origins in the hands of African-American musicians, happenings within the French jazz public reflected much about France’s postwar society. In the minds of many, jazz was connected to youth culture, but instead of challenging traditional gender expectations, the music tended to reinforce long-held stereotypes. French critics, musicians, and fans contended with the reality of American superpower strength and often strove to elevate their own country’s stature in relation to the United States by finding fault with American consumer society and foreign policy aims. Jazz audiences used this music to condemn American racism and to support the American civil rights movement, expressing strong reservations about the American way of life. French musicians lobbied to create professional opportunities for themselves, and some went so far as to create a union that endorsed preferential treatment for French nationals. As France became more ethnically and religiously diverse due immigration from Africa, Asia, and the Caribbean, French jazz critics and fans noted the insidious appearance of racism in their own country and had to contend with how their own citizens would address the changing demographics of the nation, even if they continued to insist that racism was more prevalent in the United States. As independence movements brought an end to the French empire, jazz enthusiasts from both former colonies and France had to reenvision their relationship to jazz and to the music’s international audiences. In these postwar decades, the French were working to preserve a distinct national identity in the face of weakened global authority, most forcefully represented by decolonization and American hegemony. Through this originally African American music, French listeners, commentators, and musicians participated in a process that both challenged and reinforced ideas about their own culture and nation.
