Q: Title: A non-technical introduction to the physics behind music Review: Although I'm personally a fan of Helmholtz's somewhat datedOn the Sensations of Tone, "Science and Music" is in my collection because it condenses the essential physics (and a little bit of the biology) underlying music. Right from the elementary definitions of pitch/frequency/period, Sir James Jeans covers the theory of vibrations, the characteristics of strings & pipes, harmony & discord (including Helmholtz's theory of dissonance) - with a quick tour of [intonational] temperaments, and other miscellaneous topics.The serious reader is probably better off digesting Helmholtz's detailed classic which could, however, prove to be a tedious read for the more casual reader. "Science and Music" instead presents a 'high-school' overview of the physics behind music. The non-technical way in which this book conveys its ideas also allows easy access for those students of music who have a minimal exposure to physics.

Q: Title: Good Price, Bad Book Review: I only paid 25 for the book, plus shipping and handling, and it was like new so I'm very pleased with the price. However the content of the book is far less impressive. I can learn most anything if given an adequate explanation. And that's the problem I have with this book. It doesn't explain things well enough. Maybe it would be suitable for someone who already has a thorough understanding of calculus but not for someone who is just starting out. I have other Schaum's Outlines with which I am very pleased but this is not one of them. Does this product review convey a negative or positive sentiment?

Q: Title: Horrible Drill Review: This is the worst drill I have ever owned, been Framing / Contracting for a very long time, 10+ years, and this is the worst drill ive ever seen.Works fine in SDS mode, but when you change the chuck to drill "normal" wood and holes, this drill just has no power. The changeable chuck slips constantly and cannot use medium to large bits, the drill stalls out and you hear the slipping sound. Been into local dewalt repair shop twice, and they cant do a thing with it.DO NOT BUY Does this product review convey a negative or positive sentiment?

Q: Title: Artists are great, CD won't play Review: Saw them on Letterman and loved them. Bought the CD the next day. However, it is formatted in such a way that it will not play on my player. AVOID this CD. Does this product review convey a negative or positive sentiment?
