Into Sound
On the practical analysis and processing of sound
|| Paperback || Ton Wempe || Brave New Books
Often, books about signal analysis and processing are either highly theoretical with high-level mathematics or contain oversimplified explanations which cannot answer the questions of how and why adequately. In this book, the writer attempts to explain the theory from a practical viewpoint, using a common-sense way of thinking. The theoretical principles described are mainly applied to speech sounds but the complex nature of these sounds makes this approach suitable to audio signals in general.
The book contains mathematical formulas, but sparsely used, serving as conclusions of the preceding explanations in ‘normal’ language. The more extended mathematical manipulations can be found in the appendice...

Considering Non-Duality / Druk 2
Arguments for the Worldview Impossible to Prove
2024 || Paperback || Richard Van der Linde || Brave New Books
If the idea of non-duality is correct, then experiencing life with a non-dual mode of perception would logically be the way to resolve about any issue.
But is it correct? You better be sure, because it takes a little time and investment to wake up from the ego illusion that prevents you from experiencing non-duality.
The only problem is that non-duality can’t be proven. It will always remain a leap of faith – an intuitive decision.
However, there are various logical arguments and scientif...

Facets of Pentominoes
|| Paperback || Aad Thoen e.a. || Brave New Books
With three of the pentomino letters you can make FUN. With all twelve pentominoes you can make a lot more fun. This exceptional book abounds with fanciful congruences, enclosures, tilings and a host of combinatorial squares: ConMagic, EyeMagic, GeoMagic and SymMagic. Many of the results are far from trivial, obtained by extensive research and programming. Their complete uselessness and beauty compete fiercely with each other. Almost every page bears witness to that by colourful figures. You a...

Believing or knowing for sure
2021 || Paperback || Drs.P.A.J. Coelewij || Brave New Books || met inkijkexemplaar
The composition of our brain of a human part of consciousness and analytical thinking, and a primal brain where the primary life functions are regulated, is the cause of many misunderstandings in our thinking and opinions over all kinds of things.
For example, we consider cultural matters like painting and music to be high-quality activities, whereas they are based only on physical-chemical processes that are not properly understood by the human part of our brain and therefore highly assesse...
