For centuries, scientists and philosophers believed that the universe was a stately, ordered mechanism, both mathematical and musical. The perceived distances between objects in the sky mirrored (and were mirrored by) the spaces between notes forming chords and scales. The smooth operation of the cosmos created a divine harmony that composers sought to capture and express. Jamie James allows readers to see how this scientific philosophy emerged, how it was shattered by changing views of the universe and the rise of Romanticism, and to what extent it survives today - if at all. From Pythagoras to Newton, Bach to Beethoven, and on to the twentieth century of Einstein, Schoenberg, Stravinsky, Cage and Glass. A spellbinding examination of the interwoven fates of science and music throughout history.Binding Type: Paperback

Cute gift!
Color: A1 - Pink 1 Pack
Perfect to travel with or throw in sports bags. Purchased for my athlete college student and she keeps it in her basketball bag to take jewelry off before practice and keep everything safe and untangled. There’s a spot for every type of jewelry. It’s sturdy, closes and seals and if perfect!

Adorable, functional, and great for travel
Color: A1 - Pink 1 Pack
Adorable, good quality, small but fits enough for travel. I’ve had no problems with the zipper or any of the inside functions. I like that you can remove one of the pieces to fit something larger in it.

Perfect size and quality

This was a gift for my teen daughter she’s collecting jewelry now and this was perfect for her. This is also great for traveling! It holds lots of little pieces and feels soft. This is a great gift idea. Months later and it’s still in great condition. Easy to use and take along anywhere.
