For centuries, scientists and philosophers believed that the universe was a stately, ordered mechanism, both mathematical and musical. The perceived distances between objects in the sky mirrored (and were mirrored by) the spaces between notes forming chords and scales. The smooth operation of the cosmos created a divine harmony that composers sought to capture and express. Jamie James allows readers to see how this scientific philosophy emerged, how it was shattered by changing views of the universe and the rise of Romanticism, and to what extent it survives today - if at all. From Pythagoras to Newton, Bach to Beethoven, and on to the twentieth century of Einstein, Schoenberg, Stravinsky, Cage and Glass. A spellbinding examination of the interwoven fates of science and music throughout history.Binding Type: Paperback

Perfect for Prom!
Color: Black, Size: Small
I bought the suit for prom for my son. It was last minute. It was better than expected! Nice looking! He looked great! The pants were big on him but he has a slim build. There is elastic in the waist. I added a couple of buttons to pull the elastic band to shrink the waist. It was perfect! The length didn’t need any hemming. Jacket was a great fit. I ordered a Small. My son is 5’7” and 135 lbs.

Perfect fit

The arm length was a little long but it was very comfortable and was a great quilt. The color was a deep black. He was able to dance the night away with no worries of damage to the material.

Great quality tuxedo
Color: Black, Size: XX-Large
This tuxedo is amazing size was perfect, comfortable and very well made. This tuxedo quality is so above average that it is better than ones I have rented . It was also cheaper in price than a rental. If you need a tuxedo for a formal event this is what you are looking for. If you want to look better then any one else at a non formal event this is the tuxedo you want
