Gioseffo Zarlino 1517-1590 laid down the theoretical basis for almost all aspects of modern music for which he was cited as the ultimate authority for the next two hundred years. He codified the contrapuntal techniques of the great composers of his time and was the first to explain the modern tonal system of major and minor modes. In the terza parte Zarlino treats counterpoint in a conservative manner particularly regarding the treatment of dissonances provoking widespread attacks by Vincenzo Galilei and others. Artusi cited Zarlino in his attacks on Monteverdi and brought forth the latter's distinction between the prima prattica and his own seconda pratica. The Istitutioni "opened the way for the new tonality which has governed music from the seventeenth century to the present day" PMM. This is the first issue of the Istitutioni with the privilege and errata list both placed on recto of final leaf of preliminaires and with its verso blank. <br> The "Istitutioni harmoniche" fully approved of the practise of composition as Willaert had taught. It is explained in the third part and is the central theme of the book. However Zarlino was too much the Philosopher and Theologian to confine himself to the reproduction of rules of composition. The first two parts of the book are devoted to practical theories of cosmology philosophy and acoustics as interpreted at that time. The most important humanist sources on which Zarlino based his thoughts were those of M. Ficino's translation and commentary of Plato's Timaios and the Harmonika of Ptolomy. He borrowed his ideas on harmony of the worlds from Plato. Zarlino's rules of composition are far more detailed and fully developed than those of his predecessors. The most prominent characteristic of his method is the idea of the harmonia perfetta. Zarlino objected strongly and loudly to those who did not respect modern music as much as that of the ancient Greeks or believed that it could not be as expressive without imitating the antique chromatic and enharmonic modes. He insisted rather on the integration of four elements: harmony metre text and a receptive audience. <br> Very rare only 3 copies of the first edition recorded at auction in the past 50 years.- Visit our website to see more images!

‎Gravità. Trattazione leggera di un soggetto pesante‎

‎ill., ril. In natura esistono quattro forze fondamentali: la forza nucleare debole, la forza nucleare forte, la forza elettromagnetica e la gravità. Le prime due riguardano gli atomi e noi non le percepiamo direttamente; senza di loro non esisteremmo, né esisterebbe l'universo come lo conosciamo, ma noi non ne facciamo esperienza diretta. L'elettromagnetismo lo conosciamo grazie alla luce, ma sappiamo che comprende anche le onde radio, i raggi X e molte altre cose. L'unica forza di cui facciamo tutti esperienza quotidianamente è la gravità: è quella che - come vuole l'aneddoto legato a Newton - ci fa cadere le mele in testa. A. Zee - protagonista della fisica contemporanea e autore di una fortunata serie di manuali che hanno al centro proprio lo studio specialistico della gravità - ci immerge nei misteri di questa forza evanescente, che rifiuta di trovare un suo posto nel quadro generale della teoria fisica per via della sua sproporzionata debolezza. Anche se per i fisici la gravità rimane un rovello, però, è capace di dare anche enormi soddisfazioni: è lei che sta alla base della teoria della relatività generale di Einstein - ulteriormente confermata nel 2016 grazie al rilevamento dell'eco di un'onda gravitazionale emessa dalla fusione di due giganteschi buchi neri collassati a milioni di anni luce dalla Terra. Conciso, intriso del calore e della freschezza di stile di chi domina la materia con disinvoltura e ironia, "Gravità" inizia il suo racconto con la sorprendente scoperta delle onde gravitazionali, presenta l'idea di spaziotempo curvo e il principio d'azione, ed esplora argomenti d'avanguardia, tra cui i buchi neri e la radiazione di Hawking, fino ai misteri della materia e dell'energia oscura. Con questo libro Zee apre un percorso unico per comprendere la relatività e ottenere una visione profonda di questa forza difficilmente classificabile e alla base della comprensione del grandioso universo in cui viviamo.‎

‎Researches In Magneto-Optics With Special Reference To The Magnetic Resolution Of Spectrum Lines‎

‎London: Macmillan And Co 1913. First English Language Edition 1st Printing. Hardcover. Very Good. Xiv 1 219 Pp 4 Pp Ads At Rear. Blue Cloth Gilt And Blindstamped. Seven Line Inscription And Signature Of Zeeman Dated In December 1924 To Alfred Lande. Light Rubbing At Corners And Front Spine Edge Gilt All Present But Not Brilliant Very Faint Dampstaining In Upper Right Third Of Front Cover And Small Area In Upper Corner Of Rear Cover But No Trace On Contents; Otherwise Clean No Fading To Cloth. From Wikipedia: Alfred Landé 1888 -1976 Was A German-American Physicist Known For His Contributions To Quantum Theory. In 1913 Landé Was Sent By Arnold Sommerfeld His Thesis Advisor At The University Of Munich To Be A Special Assistant For Physics To David Hilbert At The University Of Göttingen To Replace Paul Peter Ewald Whom Sommerfeld Had Sent To The Same Position In 1912. Landé Obtained His Doctorate Under Sommerfeld At The University Of Munich Two Weeks Prior To The Start Of The First World War. He Joined The Red Cross And Served For Two Years On The Eastern Front Before Being Invited By Max Born To Join Him At The Artillery Testing Commission One Of The Few Scientific Sections Of The Army. Apart From Their Work On Artillery Location By Sound Ranging They Began To Examine The Cohesive Forces And Compressibility Of Crystals. This Work Led To The Unexpected Result That The Electron Trajectories In Atoms Were Not At All Like Planetary Orbits Which At The Time Was The Usual Understanding Of The Electron In An Atom. Landé Studied Atomic Structure Intensively For The Next Seven Years. In 1916 Sommerfeld Had Begun To Apply The New Atomic Theory To Form A General Quantization Rule. In 1919 Landé Unexpectedly Turned To Spectroscopy Even Though The Continuation Of The Study Of The Spatial Orientation Of The Atoms Was The Most Pressing Problem Of The Time. He Turned To The Problem Of Atoms With Several Electrons In Particular To The Simplest Case The Spectrum Of Helium. The Spectrum Showed Non-Combining Single And Double Actually Triplet As It Turned Out Later Terms So That It Seemed As If Helium Was Made Of Two Different Substances Which Is Explained Today As The Result Of Electron Spin. Landé's Work Contained Several New Important Ideas Including The Rule Of Vector Addition Of Two Quantum-Mechanical Angular Momenta J1 And J2. His Findings And Postulates Were Later Confirmed By Quantum Theory. Landé's Frankfurt Investigations December 1920 Until April 1921 Ended With The Discovery Of The Well-Known Landé G-Formula And An Explanation For The Anomalous Zeeman Effect. The Landé G-Factor Is Now Defined Through Mj The Magnetic Quantum Number. In 1923 Landé Stated The Landé Interval Rule A Rule Dealing With The Relation Between An Electron's Spin And Orbit. Landé Was A Forerunner In A Phase Of New Interpretation Of Quantum Theory From Which Concrete Physical Statements About Experimentally Verifiable Facts Can Be Made. This Happened After The First Phase Of The Interpretation Of The Theory With Well-Known Discussions Between Niels Bohr Werner Heisenberg And Wolfgang Pauli Who Favoured The Copenhagen Interpretation Opposed In Varying Degrees By Erwin Schrödinger Louis De Broglie And Most Notably Albert Einstein. After 1950 And For The Rest Of His Life Landé Turned Energetically Against The Copenhagen Interpretation Of Quantum Theory Requiring As Did Einstein An Objectively Real Description Of Physical Processes. This Change Was Driven By Landé's Perception That Wave-Particle Duality Was An Unnecessary Misrepresentation Of Quantum Processes That He Explained By Developing A New Unitary Particle Formulation Without Dualistic Reference To Waves. Landé Based His New Formulation Upon Non-Quantal Principles Of Symmetry And Invariance With Duane's Rule For Quantisation Of Momentum Exchange With Space-Periodic Structures And Leibniz's Principle Of Cause-Effect Continuity To Explain The Intrinsically Probabilistic Nature Of Quantum Processes. His Interpretation Is Considered A Minority Interpretation. <br/> <br/> Macmillan And Co hardcover‎

‎Il velo di Einstein. Il nuovo mondo della fisica quantistica‎

‎br. Nel 1997 due gruppi di ricerca - uno diretto da Anton Zeilinger a Vienna, l'altro da Francesco De Martini a Roma - riuscirono a teletrasportare un singolo fotone, cioè a trasferire lo stato fisico da una particella a un'altra particella lontana dalla prima. Un'impresa che fino ad allora sembrava un'idea strampalata, concepibile solo in un film di fantascienza. Per ora nessuno sa se il teletrasporto si potrà realizzare anche per atomi e molecole, o addirittura per oggetti macroscopici; ma questo primo passo dischiude orizzonti inimmaginabili fino a pochi decenni fa. In questo libro, l'autore fa il punto sulla fisica quantistica, indicando i rivoluzionari effetti che contraddicono radicalmente la nostra esperienza sensoriale.‎
