Laserlichtquellen sind in einer Vielzahl optischer Technologien heute nicht mehr wegzudenken. Grund hierfür ist die gute Fokussierbarkeit und definierte Wellenlänge, welche durch Energieübergänge im Lasermedium definiert ist. Dies ist jedoch auch eine Einschränkung, da Laserlicht somit nicht in jedem beliebigen Wellenlängenbereich zur Verfügung steht bzw. die Emissionswellenlänge von Laser meist nur über einen geringen Bereich durchgestimmt we...

Through the analysis and comparison of diverse repertoires, performance practices, and theories, Thought and Play in Musical Rhythm responds to the critical need for developing richer ways of describing rhythm in all its complexity. Focusing on tensions between the general and the culturally specific, the book considers musics from Africa and Asia, as well as jazz, popular music, and "new music" of the late 20th century.

Richard Wilkins and Karen Wolf present an innovative look at the relationship between rhetoric and the ethnography of communication.

The main problem the book addresses is the idea that individuals use situated rhetoric to accomplish communal identification, even at the ris...
