This volume uncovers a new side to the long nineteenth century in London, a hidden history in which virtuosic musical entertainment and scientific discovery intersected in remarkable ways. "Sound Knowledge" examines how scientific truth was accrued by means of visual and aural experience, and, in turn, how musical knowledge was located in relation to empirical scientific practice. James Q. Davies and Ellen Lockhart gather work by leading scholars to explore a crucial sixty-year period, beginning with Charles Burney's ambitious "General History of Music," a four-volume study of music around the globe, and extending to the Great Exhibition of 1851, where musical instruments were assembled alongside the technologies of science and industry in the immense glass-encased collections of the Crystal Palace. Importantly, as the contributions show, both the power of science and the power of music relied on performance, spectacle, and experiment. Ultimately, this volume sets the stage for a new picture of modern disciplinarity, shining light on an era before the division of aural and visual knowledge.".…

UCLA Latin American Studies Series volume 27. 1st edition. The main sources of classical Nahuatl studies have been splendid, elaborately illustrated documents fully deserving their status as "codices." Their contents, often pre-Columbian in emphasis, are legends, annals, chronicles and poems. Few are aware that there is another vein of Nahuatl texts equal rich and very different, more embedded in post-conquest times, more reflective of the dynamics of social and cultural change. A mass of records concerning the everyday business of the Indian community of colonial Mexico exists in Nahuatl wills, land transactions, municipal council minutes, local tax records, and a rich variety of petitions and correspondence. This vast resource has been doubly out of the reach of the various disciplines history, anthropology, linguistics to which it would be of interest. Not only are the texts scattered and unpublished, but their forms and vocabulary are too unfamiliar to allow for their ready use. With the present selection of representative texts, transcribed, translated, and to some extent commented upon, the editors hope to draw attention to this second world of classical Nahuatl, and also provide a key with which scholars can open it up. Despite the initial difficulty, many of the records are standardized in the extreme, much like the Spanish one of which they are patterned and full understanding of a single model document will go far toward making other quickly comprehensible. George McClelland Foster, Jr born in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, on October 9, 1913, died on May 18, 2006, at his home in the hills above the campus of the University of California, Berkeley, where he served as a professor from 1953 to his retirement in 1979, when he became professor emeritus. His contributions to anthropological theory and practice still challenge us; in more than 300 publications, his writings encompass a wide diversity of topics, including acculturation, long-term fieldwork, peasant economies, pottery making, public health, social structure, symbolic systems, technological change, theories of illness and wellness, humoral medicine in Latin America, and worldview. The quantity, quality, and long-term value of his scholarly work led to his election to the National Academy of Sciences in 1976. Virtually all of his major publications have been reprinted and/or translated. Provenance from the executor of Foster's library laid in. Condition: Foster's stamp on front end paper.
