Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Hermann von Helmholtz (1821-94) was a leading scientist who made important contributions to physiology, psychology, physics, philosophy and early neuroscience. Following his foundational work in ophthalmics during the 1850s, he became Professor of Physiology at Heidelberg and, in 1863, published On the Sensations of Tone. This investigation into the physical theory of music remains a central text for the study of physiological acoustics and aesthetics. In it, Helmholtz applies physics, anatomy and physiology. He explains how tones are built from a base tone with upper partial tones, and his later discussions on consonance and musical scales develop this theory and discuss how the ear perceives these tones. His work on consonance and dissonance was of particular interest to composers and musicologists well into the twentieth century. This English translation, published in 1875 from the third German edition, retains the original's straightforward language, making this classic work accessible to non-specialists.

This English edition was based on the text of the third edition of Helmholtz's Die Lehre von den Tonempfindungen als Physiologische Grundlage für die Theorie von Musik, published in 1863. It 'laid the groundwork for all subsequent research in the field of audition. It contains Helmholtz's resonance theory of hearing, the first elaborate theory of the mechanism of the ear, which originally posited that the ear detects differences in pitch through the microscopic rods of Corti, strung out in gradually increasing size through the cochlea. Helmholtz likened these rods to progressively smaller tuned resonators, each of which responded to a sound wave of progressively higher pitch, exciting adjacent nerve endings when then carried the impulse to the brain. Helmholtz later altered his theory to state that the cochlea's resonators were the transverse fibers of the basilar membrane instead of the rods of Corti; with this single modification, Helmholtz's resonance theory remained unchalleneged for over two decades. Helmholtz also explained differences in timbre as cause by differences of upper partial tones, and applied his discoveries to music theory by explaining that consonances and dissonances were produced by more or less coincident upper partial tones' (Hook and Norman, Norman Library of Science and Medicine 1044). The previous owner of this copy, Oliver Sacks (1993-2015), was a prominent neurologist whose work with patients of encephalitis lethargica in the 1960s was the basis for his best-selling book Awakenings, which was made into an Academy Award-winning film starring Robert De Niro and Robin Williams. Sacks then wrote a succession of best-sellers on neurology and the history of medicine and science, including The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat (1985), based on his own case studies.
