《复频弹性律学：李曙明音律文集》收录了我国音乐美学家、律学家李曙明先生的七篇律学论文。《复频弹性律学：李曙明音律文集》的特色是从美学和哲学的高度来重新看待和审视律学问题，这无疑为律学的未来发展提供了一个崭新的视角。作者以2音分的“小微音差”和14音分的“弹律音差”为工具，运用传统文化中的“和律”智慧将五度相生律、纯律和十二平均律融合为一个自洽的完整体系，使得三律之美兼而有之。全书既大胆借鉴当前律学研究的新成果，又充分吸收了古代易学、律学精髓，体现出“技”、“艺”与“道”的统一，把律学从造律.听律、算律的历史推向了唱（奏）律的艺术实践新阶段，对音乐理论、音乐表演及中国十二音作曲法具有高屋建瓴般的指导意义。全书简洁精炼，逻辑清晰，不仅是律学研究者的重要参考书目，也适合专业音乐院校和师

水墨画鱼类，虽看似粗略几笔，齐白石对原物却观察得异常仔细，并抓住其主要特征进行刻画。他晚年曾对弟子胡絮青说：“鲫鱼腮旁有一条灰白的线，直通鱼尾，从这条线可以计算它身上有若干鳞片……画画的人如能这么仔细地去研究它，在画它时就不会马虎的了。”齐白石画虾享誉于世。他早期画虾，基本上是青虾（河虾）的造型，且多是游动的群虾，用小号羊毫笔，其质感和透明度不强，虾的腿和须画得短密且欠弹性，后腿呈排列状且多至八九条。为求神似，老人70岁后画虾，一改早年画法，加大并明确了虾身的起伏角度，同时对虾的游足也一删早年时的繁多，始而画游足五只，虾壳的质感和透明感也得到加强。80岁后他删繁就简，已不再画繁复的虾群，只为几只虾传神。画虾变化明显的是他把虾头前面的短须省去，仅画六条大须。虾须的简化，使得画幅的空

法国印象派绘画虽然在有些人看来分别存有或片面追求光学的客观主义，或把科学原理与艺术创作有机结合，以及自我表现的个体主义倾向等，但在西方传统绘画的历史性超越、对西方现代主义艺术的精神启迪等方面，提出了许多关键性的问题并进行了有益的探索性实验。因此可以说，法国印象派绘画扭转了西方美术的发展方向，开启了美术的新纪元。

In 2001, Rinko Kawauchi launched her career with the simultaneous publication of three astonishing photobooks--Utatane, Hanabi and Hanako--firmly establishing herself as one of the most innovative newcomers to contemporary photography, not just in Japan, but across the globe. In the years that followed, she published other notable monographs, including Aila (2004), The Eyes, the Ear (2005) and Semear (2007). And now, ten years after her precipitous entry onto the international stage, Aperture has published Illuminance, the latest volume of Kawauchi's work and the first to be published outside of Japan. Kawauchi's photography has frequently been lauded for its nuanced palette and offhand compositional mastery, as well as

It is the authenticity of the images which fascinates us rather than the reality that lies behind them. This reality seems rough and dangerous and all but worth emulating or aspiring to. The photographer Alexander Babic covered thousands of miles by car in Australia and South Africa in order to capture a scenery of which he himself was part - a real adventure. He drove along the world's longest highways, encountered the world's longest road trains, i.e. the Australian road trains with up to four, sometimes five trailers measuring up to 70 metres in length. He set up a complete mobile studio and asked his models, the truckers, if he can take a picture of them. He wants in his own words: "to capture faces that reflect stories, experiences, even tradegy and roughness in a totally classic and unadorned manner in black and white photographs". The portraits of the subjects are countered by similarly impressive views of the vehicles, from the front an this time in colour. The double page landscape photographs interj
