Just Vibrations
Author: William Cheng
Publisher: University of Michigan Press
ISBN: 0472900560
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 181
Book Description
Modern academic criticism bursts with what Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick once termed paranoid readings—interpretative feats that aim to prove a point, persuade an audience, and subtly denigrate anyone who disagrees. Driven by strategies of negation and suspicion, such rhetoric tends to drown out softer-spoken reparative efforts, which forego forceful argument in favor of ruminations on pleasure, love, sentiment, reform, care, and accessibility. Just Vibrations: The Purpose of Sounding Good calls for a time-out in our serious games of critical exchange. Charting the divergent paths of paranoid and reparative affects through illness narratives, academic work, queer life, noise pollution, sonic torture, and other touchy subjects, William Cheng exposes a host of stubborn norms in our daily orientations toward scholarship, self, and sound. How we choose to think about the perpetration and tolerance of critical and acoustic offenses may ultimately lead us down avenues of ethical ruin—or, if we choose, repair. With recourse to experimental rhetoric, interdisciplinary discretion, and the playful wisdoms of childhood, Cheng contends that reparative attitudes toward music and musicology can serve as barometers of better worlds.

Electromagnetic Vibrations, Waves, and Radiation
Author: George Bekefi
Publisher: MIT Press
ISBN: 9780262520478
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 684
Book Description
The book describes the features that vibrations and waves of all sorts have in common and includes examples of mechanical, acoustical, and optical manifestations of these phenomena that unite various parts of physics. The main emphasis, however, is on the oscillatory aspects of the electromagnetic field—that is, on the vibrations, waves, radiation, and the interaction of electromagnetic waves with matter. This text was developed over a five-year period during which its authors were teaching the subject. It is the culmination of successful editions of class notes and preliminary texts prepared for their one-semester course at MIT designed for sophomores majoring in physics but taken by students from other departments as well. The book describes the features that vibrations and waves of all sorts have in common and includes examples of mechanical, acoustical, and optical manifestations of these phenomena that unite various parts of physics. The main emphasis, however, is on the oscillatory aspects of the electromagnetic field—that is, on the vibrations, waves, radiation, and the interaction of electromagnetic waves with matter. The content is designed primarily for the use of second or third year students of physics who have had a semester of mechanics and a semester of electricity and magnetism. The aim throughout is to provide a mathematically unsophisticated treatment of the subject, but one that stresses modern applications of the principles involved. Descriptions of devices that embody such principles—such as seismometers, magnetrons, thermo-nuclear fusion experimental configurations, and lasers—are introduced at appropriate points in the text to illustrate the theoretical concepts. Many illustrations from astrophysics are also included.

Edgar Cayce on Vibrations
Author: Kevin J. Todeschi
Publisher: ARE Press
ISBN: 0876045670
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 144
Book Description
Science caught up with the psychic readings of Edgar Cayce when it proved that all of materiality - consisting of atoms and therefore protons, neutrons, and electrons - is energy in motion. Everything is a vibration. Even the body's five senses operate through the use of vibrations. The Cayce readings suggested that vibrations were also associated with healing, consciousness, and even locations. In fact, the Cayce information presents the premise that all of life in every dimension is actually just different manifestations of the One Force - the Force that moved all of Creation into being. Therefore, all vibration is ultimately that One Force manifesting in the material world in a variety of ways. Todeschi's latest title explores how everything from consciousness to the material is connected to vibration, and how we continue to create and shape our world through the vibrations all around us. Vibrations are essentially spirit in motion and our thoughts and actions affect our life and the way we are living.
