  The piano is a longstanding, classical, and revered instrument. Invented in the 1700s by Bartolomeo Cristofori (1655-1731) of Padua, Italy, with plenty of hammers and planters to boot, the piano came to be quite popular in the homes of many a Western brood by the end of the nineteenth century. When someone thinks of a classical composer, it wouldn’t be unusual to go to Bach, Beethoven, and the like and easily associate them with piano. Many believe that piano sets the standard for musicians, laying the foundation for instrumental affinity. What does that mean, exactly? The piano is awesome. But you knew that already. Yet, what makes a good pianist great? What are the tools used to get you from here to there? While playing is, of course, supposed to be fun, sometimes a bit of direction is what we need to get to the next level. 
  The basic keyboard, housing case, lid, pedals, keys, hammers, and strings still make up the majority of the modern piano’s design and componentry. This piano has withstood the test of time and largely remained intact, with the exception of electric keyboards and some piano types. 
  How exactly does a piano work? How does it create such lovely tunes and tones? Let’s see how all piano parts work to create one of the most enduring and identifiable instruments in contemporary music.

  In the rapidly urbanizing world of the 21st century, cities have emerged as the defining habitat for human existence—complex ecosystems where built environments, natural systems, social dynamics, and human health are inextricably intertwined. As urban populations continue to expand globally, the relationship between metropolitan environments and human wellbeing has become one of the most critical frontiers in our collective pursuit of sustainable, equitable development. This comprehensive exploration delves into the multifaceted domains of Urban Environmental Studies, Urban Health, and City Livability—examining how the physical, social, and ecological dimensions of urban spaces fundamentally shape population health outcomes, quality of life, and environmental sustainability. 
  The narrative of urban environmental health transcends traditional disciplinary boundaries; it encompasses the intricate connections between urban design, ecological systems, public health infrastructure, and social determinants that collectively define the healthfulness of city living. By examining the complex interplay between environmental exposures, built environment characteristics, healthcare access, and community resilience, this book illuminates how cities can function either as amplifiers of health inequities or as platforms for promoting wellbeing across diverse populations. Readers will journey through the multidimensional landscapes where urban health manifests—from the microscale of indoor air quality and neighborhood walkability to the macroscale of urban heat islands and metropolitan food systems—while exploring innovative approaches that cities worldwide are adopting to create more livable, healthy, and environmentally sustainable urban futures.

  D'Angelo's Voodoo

  Voodoo, D'Angelo's much-anticipated 2000 release, set the standard for the musical cycle ordained as "neo-soul," a label the singer and songwriter would reject more than a decade later. The album is a product of heightened emotions and fused sensibilities; an amalgam of soul, rock, jazz, gospel, hip-hop, and Afrobeats. D'Angelo put to music his own pleasures and insecurities as a man-child in the promised land. It was both a tribute to his musical heroes: Prince, Sly Stone, Marvin Gaye, J Dilla...and a deconstruction of rhythm and blues itself.Despite nearly universal acclaim, the sonic expansiveness of Voodoo proved too nebulous for airplay on many radio stations, seeping outside the accepted lines of commercial R&B music. Voodoo was Black, it was definitely magic, and it was nearly overshadowed by a four-minute music video featuring D'Angelo's sweat-glistened six-pack abs. "The Video" created an accentuated moment when the shaman lost control of the spell he cast.
