Steve Larson drew on his 20 years of research in music theory, cognitive linguistics, experimental psychology, and artificial intelligence—as well as his skill as a jazz pianist—to show how the experience of physical motion can shape one's musical experience. Clarifying the roles of analogy, metaphor, grouping, pattern, hierarchy, and emergence in the explanation of musical meaning, Larson explained how listeners hear tonal music through the analogues of physical gravity, magnetism, and inertia. His theory of melodic expectation goes beyond prior theories in predicting complete melodic patterns. Larson elegantly demonstrated how rhythm and meter arise from, and are given meaning by, these same musical forces.
Young naturalists will gain both information and inspiration from this book about a very special butterfly garden. Mrs. Carter's Butterfly Garden is the story of how former First Lady Rosalynn Carter created a sunny spot in her yard to attract monarch butterflies and help prevent habitat loss. Author Steve Rich worked with Mrs. Carter to create a butterfly-friendly trail through her hometown of Plains, Georgia. Children can learn from Mrs. Carter's example why it's good for people when butterflies have welcoming spaces to flutter by - and how they, as young butterfly enthusiasts, can create a butterfly garden on their own at home or school. Published by NSTA Kids, Mrs. Carter's Butterfly Garden includes helpful resources for teachers and parents who want to introduce children to beautiful butterflies. -- from back cover.
