Street-Fighting Mathematics: The Art of Educated Guessing and Opportunistic P…
An antidote to mathematical rigor mortis, teaching how to guess answers without needing a proof or an exact calculation.

They have long been the foundation of the keyboard repertory, played …

This book explores the instrumental use of microphones and loudsp…

Dylan's Autobiography of a Vocation: A Reading of the Lyrics 1965-1967
Many critics have interpreted Bob Dylan’s lyrics, especially those composed during the middle to late 1960s, in the contexts of their relation to American folk, blues, and rock ‘n’ roll precedents; their discographical details and concert performances; their social, political and cultural relevance; and/or their status for discussion as “poems.” Dylan's Autobiography of a Vocation ins…
