Book Description
Number 10 Sound: The Musical Way 10 the Scientific Revolution is a collection of twelve essays by writers from the fields of musicology and the history of science. The essays show the idea of music held by Euro th pean intellectuals who lived from the second half of the 15 century to the th early 17 : physicians (e. g. Marsilio Ficino), scholars of musical theory (e. g. Gioseffo Zarlino, Vincenzo Galilei), natural philosophers (e. g. Fran cis Bacon, Isaac Beeckman, Marin Mersenne), astronomers and mathema ticians (e. g. Johannes Kepler, Galileo Galilei ). Together with other people of the time, whom the Reader will meet in the course of the book, these intellectuals share an idea of music that is far removed from the way it is commonly conceived nowadays: it is the idea of music as a science whose object-musical sound--can be quantified and demonstrated, or enquired into experimentally with the methods and instruments of modem scientific enquiry. In this conception, music to be heard is a complex, variable structure based on few simple elements--e. g. musical intervals-, com bined according to rules and criteria which vary along with the different ages. However, the varieties of music created by men would not exist if they were not based on certain musical models--e. g. the consonances-, which exist in the mind of God or are hidden in the womb of Nature, which man discovers and demonstrates, and finally translates into the lan guage of sounds.

Book Description
“A lucid and passionate case for a more mindful way of listening. . . . Anyone who has ever clapped, hollered or yodeled at an echo will delight in [Cox’s] zestful curiosity.”—New York Times Trevor Cox is on a hunt for the sonic wonders of the world. A renowned expert who engineers classrooms and concert halls, Cox has made a career of eradicating bizarre and unwanted sounds. But after an epiphany in the London sewers, Cox now revels in exotic noises—creaking glaciers, whispering galleries, stalactite organs, musical roads, humming dunes, seals that sound like alien angels, and a Mayan pyramid that chirps like a bird. With forays into archaeology, neuroscience, biology, and design, Cox explains how sound is made and altered by the environment, how our body reacts to peculiar noises, and how these mysterious wonders illuminate sound’s surprising dynamics in everyday settings—from your bedroom to the opera house. The Sound Book encourages us to become better listeners in a world dominated by the visual and to open our ears to the glorious cacophony all around us.

Whether seeking spiritual wisdom, breaking through creative blocks, resolving relationship questions, or braving life's many issues, The Wisdom of Sound and Number makes the challenge easier. "Leeya Thompson is a scholar and a visionary, bringing impeccable research and fierce intellectual discipline to her work. She follows the trail of the ancient art of gematria back to its earliest roots in Middle Eastern culture and creates a remarkable tool for understanding and change." William Moore, Educator and Reader of the Tree of Life and Tarot I recently had the privilege of experiencing a sound and numerology reading from Leeya Thompson. I was grateful, not only for her insight, but for her ability to express what was revealed in "my numbers and name sounds" in ways that were both accessible and deeply meaningful. Leeya uses a delightful economy of words, communicating the essences that combine to create my unique portrait. I found the progression of themes for each life phase especially helpful. It is rare to have a reading that takes in the sweep of a life while giving precise indications as well. I came away with a sense of focused hope fueling personal momentum- a rare commodity in today's circumstances. And a testament to Leeya's skill and wisdom. Anne Oliver, Counselor of Mediation
