Media philosopher Vileacute;m Flusser proposed a revolutionary new way of thinking about photography. An analysis of the medium in terms of aesthetics; science and politics provided him with new ways of understanding both the cultural crises of the past and the new social forms nascent within them. Flusser showed how the transformation of textual into visual culture (from the linearity of history into the two-dimensionality of magic) and of industrial into post-industrial society (from work into leisure) went hand in hand; and how photography allows us to read and interpret these changes with particular clarity.

SpearI am a semi-professional musician (gigging and recording on weekends) and found this book to be a great help to me. Over the years i had picked up bits and pieces of theory; and most of it seemed to make enough sense; but there were still things i had no clue about! That is where this lifesaver of a book came in. I bought it based upon its well-deserved good reviews; and couldnt have been more pleased. It covered just about everything i wanted to know; and filled in almost all of the "holes" in my knowledge of music theory. However; this book isnt something you can just spend 2 minutes reading and pick up on exactly what it says. Some of the things take a bit of practice to fully understand; but its well worth the time. If you are serious about your music and want a solid fundamental knowledge of theory; then i would HIGHLY reccommend this book. Overall it has been one of the most practical; useful investments i have ever made.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Its a useful source for students to learn about music theoryBy Jugjock2nd purchase of this book: 1st time; for me as a student; 2nd time; for my current fife instructor. Its a useful source for students to learn about music theory; and for more advanced students (and even instructors) to review what theyve learned in the past.
