This book is a standard source on scales and temeraments, and their history. It compares and contrasts Pythagorean tuning, just intonation, meantone, irregular temperaments, and finally equal temperament. Barbour displays a strong predisposition towards twelve tone equal temperament in this work, and interprets the history of scales and temperaments as an inexorable march towards equal temperament.

If you are a publishing company looking for something to reprint, this is a classic.

I really liked this book, how could i not? It's Shakespeare. I liked Twelfth Night also because it doesn't end with happiness and laughter like most comedies, it ends with the fool's sad song. very good.

Take some time to read this book with a Bible in hand. If we will only believe and yeild to the power of God as revealed in the New Covenant we will enter into a greater fullness in the Christian walk. A great companion book is Murray's commentary on the book of Hebrews.

This is an excellent book for those who are new to the concept's of radioactive waste and management. It not only include's information related to the types of hazardous waste, but also includes law and future projections on the subject matter. I highly recommend this book for anyone interested in this subject.

This is great book, every nursing students should read, not only for their essays.Authors wrote it clear, just simple everyday languages and without using medical jargons.I loved the cartoon picture in the book, it made me laugh and easy for me to memorised the points of the chapter. I read many different nursing process textbooks, some of them are too short and not enough information given to student. Otherwise, most of them too difficult to understand, more like reading a philosiophy textbook rather than nursing textbook.Actually, you don't need to be a genie to understaning the nursing process. Murray and Atkinson proved that in their book, nursing process is easy to use and this book've that job to show the readers. I hope you will enjoy it as much as I do.

Fascinating tour of many lesser known and sometimes hidden ancient sites in Afghanistan. True story of travels there in the twentieth century before the Russian invasion. Full of humorous insight into the many cultural and political stresses that clearly contributed to the situation as it is today. This is a wonderful book containing very interesting material that is available nowhere else!

The magic of this collection stretches far beyond that which is first visible: the simple laguage of poems such as "An Absolutely Ordinary Rainbow" and "Spring Hail" work with Murray's typical contrast between short and long sentences to present the essence of the 'vernacular' he is exploring; the constant concern of the Australian spirit in the City and the Bush mingles with the literary form and complements the Poet's rich imagery -- one which really breaks through from the conventional into something entirely Australian and something which moves the spirit profoundly.

This work is a cornerstone of Australian and Human culture, and is a must!
