The Music of the Spheres; Music, Science, and the Natural Order of the UniverseFor centuries, scientists and philosophers believed that the universe was a stately, ordered mechanism, both mathematical and musical.

For centuries, scientists and philosophers believed that the universe was a stately, ordered mechanism, both mathematical and musical. The perceived distances between objects in the sky mirrored (and were mirrored by) the spaces between notes forming chords and scales. The smooth operation of the cosmos created a divine harmony that composers sought to capture and express. Jamie James allows readers to see how this scientific philosophy emerged, how it was shattered by changing views of the universe and the rise of Romanticism, and to what extent it survives today - if at all. From Pythagoras to Newton, Bach to Beethoven, and on to the twentieth century of Einstein, Schoenberg, Stravinsky, Cage and Glass. A spellbinding examination of the interwoven fates of science and music throughout history.

Wide, feminine neck
Special Size: Two Pack, Size: Medium, Color: Black/Army Green
I ordered Medium, as I usually wear. I’m 5’11” 175lbs. The neck was very wide and cut semi/deep. It looked like a woman’s workout shirt. The material looks and feels nice, and other than the neck it fit true to size. I returned it because of how they fit in the neck.

Nicer than expected
Very cute and fun to wear. Band is soft and comfortable. The whole face lights up which is very convenient when you’re in a dark theater and want to know how much longer you must suffer through the show. Would highly recommend if you want something summery & fun

Timex tradition
The watch is pretty and functions great. The only thing I don't like is the light blue second hand is a bit hard to see in certain lighting. The other hands and numbers are easy to read and the band is easy to use. Nice watch with my favorite features.
