  How Documentaries Went...

  Since the 1960s, documentary films have moved closer to the mainstream, thanks to the popularity of rockumentaries, association with the independent film movement, support from public and cable television, and the rise of streaming video services. Documentary films have become reliable earners at the US box office and ubiquitous on streaming platforms, while historically they existed on the margins of mainstream media. 
   
   
   
  The growing commercialization of documentary film has not gone unnoticed, but it has not been sufficiently explained. Streaming and the growing interest in reality TV are usually offered as explanations whenever a documentary enters the cultural conversation or breaks a box-office record, but neither of those causes grapple with the overlapping causal mechanisms that commercialized documentary film. How Documentaries Went Mainstream provides a more comprehensive and meaningful periodization of the commercialization of documentary film. Although the commercial ascension of documentary films might seem meteoric, it is the culmination of decades-long efforts that have developed and fortified the audience for documentary features. Author Nora Stone refines rough explanations of these efforts through a robust history of the market for documentary films, using knowledge of film economics and the norms of industry discourse to tell a richer story.

  432 Hz The Musical Revolution -...

  Being the outcome of years of research, the book outlines the connection between music and the science of intonation, leading the reader through the ancient wisdom of Pythagoras, Fibonacci, Leonardo da Vinci, and Johannes Kepler, up to the most modern research of quantum physics and neuroscience.The author shows how the fixed tuning to A at 440 hertz was an arbitrary choice imposed by a few influential people, without providing any convincing reason or artistic proof to support it. This imposition has moved us away from the natural tuning of 432 Hz, which is linked to the earth’s resonance.Thanks to this book, you will become aware of    which brain areas music activates and at which octaves of frequency the human brain operates;    what role sound waves play in modifying blood pressure, respiration, heartbeat, electrical resistance of the skin, neuroendocrine response, concentration, and other essential components for human well-being.It is one of the most comprehensive works published on the subject of intonation.
