Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An “incandescent….redefining biography of a major poet whose reputation continues to ascend” (Booklist, starred review)—Wallace Stevens, perhaps the most important American poet of the twentieth century. Wallace Stevens (1879-1955) lived a richly imaginative life that he expressed in his poems. “A biography that is both deliciously readable and profoundly knowledgeable” (Library Journal, starred review), The Whole Harmonium presents Stevens within the living context of his times and as the creator of a poetry that continues to shape how we understand and define ourselves. A lawyer who rose to become an insurance-company vice president, Stevens composed brilliant poems on long walks to work and at other stolen moments. He endured an increasingly unhappy marriage, and yet he had his Dionysian side, reveling in long fishing (and drinking) trips to the sun-drenched tropics of Key West. He was at once both the Connecticut businessman and the hidalgo lover of all things Latin. His first book of poems, Harmonium, published when he was forty-four, drew on his profound understanding of Modernism to create a distinctive and inimitable American idiom. Over time he became acquainted with peers such as Robert Frost and William Carlos Williams, but his personal style remained unique. The complexity of Stevens’s poetry rests on emotional, philosophical, and linguistic tensions that thread their way intricately through his poems, both early and late. And while he can be challenging to understand, Stevens has proven time and again to be one of the most richly rewarding poets to read. Biographer and poet Paul Mariani’s The Whole Harmonium “is an excellent, superb, thrilling story of a mind….unpacking poems in language that is nearly as eloquent as the poet’s, and as clear as faithfulness allows” (The New Yorker).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A wide-ranging exploration of how music has influenced science through the ages, from fifteenth-century cosmology to twentieth-century string theory. In the natural science of ancient Greece, music formed the meeting place between numbers and perception; for the next two millennia, Pesic tells us in Music and the Making of Modern Science, “liberal education” connected music with arithmetic, geometry, and astronomy within a fourfold study, the quadrivium. Peter Pesic argues provocatively that music has had a formative effect on the development of modern science—that music has been not just a charming accompaniment to thought but a conceptual force in its own right. Pesic explores a series of episodes in which music influenced science, moments in which prior developments in music arguably affected subsequent aspects of natural science. He describes encounters between harmony and fifteenth-century cosmological controversies, between musical initiatives and irrational numbers, between vibrating bodies and the emergent electromagnetism. He offers lively accounts of how Newton applied the musical scale to define the colors in the spectrum; how Euler and others applied musical ideas to develop the wave theory of light; and how a harmonium prepared Max Planck to find a quantum theory that reengaged the mathematics of vibration. Taken together, these cases document the peculiar power of music—its autonomous force as a stream of experience, capable of stimulating insights different from those mediated by the verbal and the visual. An innovative e-book edition available for iOS devices will allow sound examples to be played by a touch and shows the score in a moving line.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When I was in Indian Air Force and flying in the chopper, the pilot planned sorties primarily based on assumptions. Taking off at the helipad, landed at the destination place, and gave room for an emergency landing if something went wrong. He covered all the checkpoints before taking off, but he knew that all the identical decisions would be made on the way. He never tried to forecast for the entire root rather than picking up the current weather report available at the time of take-off, as it was needed to adjust in real-time situations and never stuck. The ability to sit, try and work out every possibility was always available, but the flight plan he took on take-off was always version one. The project that he ended up executing by the time we landed at our destination was probably Version four or five. Another example of version one for me while making videos for uploading to YouTube was the biggest challenge when I pushed through the first clip. But I continued with my plans to serve and give to the target audience by narrating a couple of great stories that happened to me. And ultimately, my 21st video was much more attractive than my first video. In any journey, whether it is a stage presentation, podcast episode, cycling race, or writing book, version one of them was nowhere near the robustness of version nine. It was always my first time in every prevailing situation that met the tire with the rugged road, but as long as a Suck Less next time, the newer version was always better than the previous & I could keep on moving till I achieved momentum. If you fall out of speed, then you are dead in the water. So often, we can be paralyzed by fear. Becoming stuck at the weight of a decision and not wanting to "make a bad decision." This slowing down of our thought processes is really counterproductive, and it should not be allowed to be your default mindset to set in your business brain. The secret to enabling yourself to make decisions and keep moving is as easy as reciting my favorite saying, "Version One is better than Version None."
