Rock: The Primary Text Developing a Musicology of Rock

Rock: The Primary Text Developing a Musicology of Rock

This thoroughly revised third edition of Allan F. Moore's ground-breaking book now co-authored with Remy Martin incorporates new material on rock music theory style change and the hermeneutic method developed in Moore’s Song Means (2012). An even larger array of musicians is discussed bringing the book right into the 21st century. Rock's 'primary text' – its sounds – is the focus of attention here. The authors argue for the development of a musicology particular to rock within the context of the background to the genres the beat and rhythm and blues styles of the early 1960s 'progressive' rock punk rock metal and subsequent styles. They also explore the fundamental issue of rock as a medium for self-expression and the relationship of this to changing musical styles. Rock: The Primary Text remains innovative in its exploration of an aesthetics of rock. | Rock: The Primary Text Developing a Musicology of Rock

Rock Fall Engineering

Rock Fall Engineering

Rock falls can be a public safety issue. This book provides comprehensive information on identification of these hazards and design and construction of protection methods. Rock Fall Engineering describes first the theoretical background to rock fall behavior in terms of the impact and trajectory phases of rock falls and second how this information is applied to modeling of rock falls and the design of ditches fences and sheds. The theory of rock fall behavior is verified by comparing the calculations with five carefully documented case studies. The book covers four main topics as follows: Describes causes of rock falls including geology climate and topography and provides detailed documentation on rock fall impacts and trajectories at five sites with a wide variety of topographic and geologic features Discusses theory of impact mechanics and its application to velocity and energy changes during impacts and trajectories Reviews methods of modeling rock fall events and presents analyses for the five case studies Examines rock fall protection in terms of selecting appropriate method(s) for site conditions and design principles in which the objective is to absorb impact energy in an efficient manner This book which contains many worked examples is of interest to practitioners and researchers working in the fields of geological engineering and natural hazards. Duncan C. Wyllie is a principal with Wyllie & Norrish Rock Engineers in Vancouver Canada and a registered professional engineer in British Columbia. He has worked on rock fall hazard projects involving the design and construction protection measures since the 1970s. He is the author of Foundations on Rock Second Edition and Rock Slope Engineering Fourth Edition both published by CRC Press.

Advances in Rock Dynamics and Applications

Advances in Rock Dynamics and Applications

The study of rock dynamics is important because many rock mechanics and rock engineering problems involve dynamic loading ranging from earthquakes to vibrations and explosions. The subject deals with the distribution and propagation of loads dynamic responses and processes of rocks and rate-dependent properties coupled with the physical environment. Rock dynamics has a wide range of applications in civil mining geological and environmental engineering. However due to the additional 4th dimension of time rock dynamics remains in the discipline of rock mechanics a relatively more challenging topic to understand and to apply where documented research and knowledge are limited. Advances in Rock Dynamics and Applications provides a summary of the current knowledge of rock dynamics with 18 chapters contributed by individual authors from both academia and engineering fields. The topics of this book are wide-ranging and representative covering fundamental theories of fracture dynamics and wave propagation rock dynamic properties and testing methods numerical modelling of rock dynamic failure engineering applications in earthquakes explosion loading and tunnel response as well as dynamic rock support.

British Rock Modernism 1967-1977 The Story of Music Hall in Rock

British Rock Modernism 1967-1977 The Story of Music Hall in Rock

British Rock Modernism 1967-1977 explains how the definitive British rock performers of this epoch aimed not at the youthful rebellion for which they are legendary but at a highly self-conscious project of commenting on the business in which they were engaged. They did so by ironically appropriating the traditional forms of Victorian music hall. Faulk focuses on the mid to late 1960s when British rock bands who had already achieved commercial prominence began to aspire to aesthetic distinction. The book discusses recordings such as the Beatles' Magical Mystery Tour album the Kinks' The Village Green Preservation Society and the Sex Pistols' Never Mind the Bollocks Here's the Sex Pistols and television films such as the Beatles' Magical Mystery Tour and the Rolling Stones' Rock and Roll Circus that defined rock's early high art moment. Faulk argues that these 'texts' disclose the primary strategies by which British rock groups mostly comprised of young working and lower middle-class men made their bid for aesthetic merit by sampling music hall sounds. The result was a symbolically charged form whose main purpose was to unsettle the hierarchy that set traditional popular culture above the new medium. Rock groups engaged with the music of the past in order both to demonstrate the comparative vitality of the new form and signify rock's new art status compared to earlier British pop music. The book historicizes punk rock as a later development of earlier British rock rather than a rupture. Unlike earlier groups the Sex Pistols did not appropriate music hall form in an ironic way but the band and their manager Malcolm McLaren were obsessed with the meaning of the past for the present in a distinctly modernist fashion. | British Rock Modernism 1967-1977 The Story of Music Hall in Rock
