Hardback. Condizione: New. On any weekend in Texas, Czech polka music enlivens dance halls and drinking establishments as well as outdoor church picnics and festivals. The songs heard at these venues are the living music of an ethnic community created by immigrants who started arriving in Central Texas in the mid-nineteenth century from what is now the Czech Republic. Today, the members of this community speak English but their songs are still sung in Czech.Czech Songs in Texas includes sixty-one songs, mostly polkas and waltzes. The songs themselves are beloved heirlooms ranging from ceremonial music with origins in Moravian wedding traditions to exuberant polkas celebrating the pleasures of life. For each song, the book provides music notation, and the Czech lyrics are set side-by-side with English translation. Then, an essay explores the song's European roots, its American evolution, and the meaning of its lyrics and lists notable performances and recordings. In addition to the songs and essays, Frances Barton provides a chapter on the role of music in the Texas Czech ethnic community, and John K. Novok surveys Czech folk and popular music in its European home. The book both documents a specific musical inheritance and serves as a handbook for learning about a culture through its songs. As folklorist and polka historian James P. Leary writes in his foreword, "Barton and Novak take us on a poetic, historical, and ethnographic excursion deep into a community's expressive heartland. Their Czech Songs in Texas just might be the finest extant annotated anthology of any American immigrant/ethnic group's regional song tradition.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the intricate world of screw propeller design, a critical aspect of naval architecture during the early 20th century. The author meticulously explores the evolution of propeller design theories, from the foundational work of Froude, Rankine, and Greenhill, to the practical methods employed in real-world applications. Set against the backdrop of a rapidly advancing technological landscape, the book offers readers a glimpse into the challenges faced by naval engineers in optimizing propeller efficiency for various hull forms and operating conditions. The author's insights extend beyond theoretical formulas, delving into the practical considerations of blade form, thickness, and the impact of design choices on factors such as tip speed, slip, and thrust. With detailed explanations and illustrative examples, the book explores the complex interplay between propeller characteristics and hull design, highlighting the influence of factors such as block coefficient, appendage resistance, and thrust deduction. The author's expertise shines through in the presentation of design charts and computation forms, providing valuable tools for navigating the intricacies of propeller selection and performance prediction.
