Aristotle on Time

A Study of the Physics

By: Tony Roark

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Aristotle's definition of time as 'a number of motion with respect to the before and after' has been branded as patently circular by commentators ranging from Simplicius to W. D. Ross. In this book Tony Roark presents an interpretation of the definition that renders it not only non-circular, but also worthy of serious philosophical scrutiny. He shows how Aristotle developed an account of the nature of time that is inspired by Plato while also thoroughly bound up with Aristotle's sophisticated analyses of motion and perception. When Aristotle's view is properly understood, Roark argues, it is immune to devastating objections against the possibility of temporal passage articulated by McTaggart and other 20th-century philosophers. Roark's novel and fascinating interpretation of Aristotle's temporal theory will appeal to those interested in Aristotle, ancient philosophy and the philosophy of time.

Country Music Records

A Discography, 1921-1942

By: Tony Russell,Bob Pinson

More than twenty years in the making, Country Music Records documents all country music recording sessions from 1921 through 1942. With primary research based on files and session logs from record companies, interviews with surviving musicians, as well as the 200,000 recordings archived at the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum's Frist Library and Archives, this notable work is the first compendium to accurately report the key details behind all the recording sessions of country music during the pre-World War II era. This discography documents--in alphabetical order by artist--every commercial country music recording, including unreleased sides, and indicates, as completely as possible, the musicians playing at every session, as well as instrumentation. This massive undertaking encompasses 2,500 artists, 5,000 session musicians, and 10,000 songs. Summary histories of each key record company are also provided, along with a bibliography. The discography includes indexes to all song titles and musicians listed.

Unspeakable

Some Secrets Will Haunt You

By: Tony Marturano

“Fear the living, fear the dead, fear the Unspeakable.” Kenning Hall was more than a country home, it was the family's sanctuary away from the frenetic pace of London, until that day. What happened that day was so horrifying, so devastating, that the place was left to ruin, until now. A decade later, thirty-two-year-old Rupert Harrison, the only surviving heir to the Harrison publishing dynasty, has ordered Kenning Hall restored to its former glory. It's time to go back. Now, if you think you've heard this story before, think again. This is just the beginning. Something is waiting at Kenning Hall. Something vengeful, malevolent, and it will follow him home. THIS BOOK ISN'T CREEPY, IT'S DOWNRIGHT TERRIFYING. BE WARNED: DAYLIGHT WILL NOT SAVE YOU. PRAISE FOR UNSPEAKABLE (FROM READERS LIKE YOU) “The bit that gets you is that a lot of it happens during broad daylight!" “Gripping! It's packed with secrets and a brilliantly twisting plot!" “Sexy and disturbing” “Be afraid. Be very afraid. I know I was!” “Grabs you from that breathtaking prologue and doesn't leg go...”

Metal Foams: A Design Guide

By: Michael F. Ashby,Tony Evans,NA Fleck,J.W. Hutchinson,H.N.G. Wadley,L. J. Gibson

Metal foams are at the forefront of technological development for the automotive, aerospace, and other weight-dependent industries. They are formed by various methods, but the key facet of their manufacture is the inclusion of air or other gaseous pockets in the metal structure. The fact that gas pockets are present in their structure provides an obvious weight advantage over traditionally cast or machined solid metal components. The unique structure of metal foams also opens up more opportunities to improve on more complex methods of producing parts with space inclusions such as sand-casting. This guide provides information on the advantages metal foams possess, and the applications for which they may prove suitable. - Offers a concise description of metal foams, their manufacture, and their advantages in industry - Provides engineers with answers to pertinent questions surrounding metal foams - Satisfies a major need in the market for information on the properties, performance, and applications of these materials

Designing Electronic Product Enclosures

By: Tony Serksnis

This book explains the design and fabrication of any electronic enclosure that contains a printed circuit board, from original design through materials selection, building and testing, and ongoing design improvement. It presents a thorough and lucid treatment of material physical properties, engineering, and compliance considerations such that readers will understand concerns that exist with a design (structural, environmental, and regulatory) and what is needed to successfully enter the marketplace. To this end, a main thrust of this volume is on the “commercialization” of electronic products when an enclosure is needed. The book targets the broadest audience tasked with design and manufacture of an enclosure for an electronic product, from mechanical/industrial engineers to designers and technicians. Compiling a wealth of information on relevant physical phenomena (strength of materials, shock and vibration, heat transfer), the book stands as a ready reference on how and where these key properties may be considered in the design of most electronic enclosures.
