Music by Numbers: The Use and Abuse of Statistics in the Music Industry Osborne Richard

The music industries are fueled by statistics: sales targets, breakeven points, success ratios, royalty splits, website hits, ticket revenues, listener figures, piracy abuses, and big data. Statistics are of consequence. They influence the music that consumers get to hear, they determine the revenues of music makers, and they shape the policies of governments and legislators. Yet many of these statistics are generated by the music industries themselves, and their accuracy can be questioned. Music by Numbers sets out to explore this shadowy terrain.This edited collection provides the first in-depth examination of the use and abuse of statistics in the music industries. Written by noted music business scholars and practitioners in the field, the book addresses five key areas in which numbers are employed: sales and awards; music industry policy; live music; music piracy;

The challenge of the sublime Ibata Hlne

The challenge of the sublime argues that the unprecedented visual inventiveness of the Romantic period in Britain can be seen as a response to theories of the sublime, and more specifically to Edmund Burke's Philosophical Enquiry into the Origin of our Ideas of the Sublime and Beautiful (1757).While it is widely accepted that the Enquiry contributed to shaping the thematics of terror that became fashionable in British art from the 1770s, this book contends that its influence was of even greater consequence, paradoxically because of Burke's conviction that the visual arts were incapable of conveying the sublime. His argument that the sublime was beyond the reach of painting, because of the mimetic nature of visual representation, directly or indirectly incited visual artists to explore not just new themes, but also new compositional strategies

Polymaths of Islam: Power and Networks of Knowledge in Central Asia Pickett James

Polymaths of Islam analyzes the social and intellectual power of religious leaders who created a shared culture that integrated Central Asia, Iran, and India from the mid-eighteenth century through the early twentieth.James Pickett demonstrates that Islamic scholars were simultaneously mystics and administrators, judges and occultists, physicians and poets. This integrated understanding of the world of Islamic scholarship unlocks a different way of thinking about transregional exchange networks. Pickett reveals a Persian-language cultural sphere that transcended state boundaries and integrated a spectacularly vibrant Eurasia that is invisible from published sources alone.Through a high cultural complex that he terms the Persian cosmopolis or Persianate sphere, Pickett argues that an intersection of diverse disciplines shaped geographical trajectories across and
