修订一部深受读者欢迎的音乐通史，目的不是推倒重写，而是提高它的时代性。看惯前几版的读者，会觉得此书不论外貌或者内容改动甚大，但章次和范围基本未变。收名中加上“西方”一词，说明我们意识到西欧和南北美洲的音乐体系不过是世界文明的诸音乐体系之一。本书范围的又一局限在于只谈“艺术音乐”；而必须承认，“艺术音乐”这一概念本身便十分含糊。通俗音乐、爵士乐以及诸如此类的品种确已有相当高深的技巧，但不能期望本书同等对待西方音乐的这一广大支系（如今已成为独立的研究课题），常规的音乐史教程也未必能等同视之，而本书不过是一本常规音乐史的手册。

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 1987 Aperture published Lynne Cohen’s first monograph,Occupied Territory, an exploration of space as simulatedexperience—an ersatz reality, idealized and standardized. Now,Aperture is pleased to release a newly expanded and updated reissueof this classic monograph, making Cohen’s pioneering work availableto a contemporary audience and situating her appropriately withinthe lineage of Lewis Baltz, Stephen Shore, and other widelycelebrated Topographic photographers. In the twenty years of workcontained in the book, Cohen turns her view camera towardclassrooms, science laboratories, testing facilities, waitingrooms, and other interior spaces where function triumphs overaesthetics. What decorations the inhabitants might have added tothese rooms to make them more inviting—mostly phony attempts atwarmth or individualism—only serve to amplify their artifice anduniformity.

Off Beat presents photographs taken in New York City in 2008and 2009, when A-chan began working with black and white film. Theimages were made in the same wandering spirit as those in VibrantHome, also to be published this season by Steidl. A-chan exploredthe streets of New York, allowing her compositions to revealthemselves rather than searching for pre-determined motifs. Pigeonsperched on a branch, the lyrical geometry of serviettes on a table,or the play of shapes created by a bus silhouetted against traffic:such is the material of A-chan's restless, charming vision.
《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

Following the tremendous success of her book of portraits, Wise Women, acclaimed photographer Joyce Tenneson now turns her lens to the life of flowers. In this enchanting series of photographs, Tenneson breaks new ground by recording the often unseen and overlooked later phases in a plant's life, and finds exquisite beauty in their blossoming and gradual decline. These stunning portraits celebrate the life cycle and allow the reader to appreciate flowers in a new way, as well as contemplate the poignancy, fragility, and continual beauty of life itself. Tenneson's photographs follow in the long tradition of botanical illustrations of the 18th and 19th centuries as well as photographic masters such as Man Ray, Robert Mapplethorpe, and Irving Penn. Just as Tenneson's Wise Women chronicled the energy, vitality, and beauty of older women, FLOWER PORTRAITS offers a compelling look at the radiant and exquisitely individual metamorphosis of flowers in the later phases of their lives.
