    Documenting Software Architectures (eBook, ePUB)
    Software architecture-the conceptual glue that holds every phase of a project together for its many stakeholders-is widely recognized as a critical element in modern software development. Practitioners have increasingly discovered that close attention to a software system's architecture pays valuable dividends. Without an architecture that is appropriate for the problem being solved, a project will stumble along or, most likely, fail. Even with a superb architecture, if that architecture is not well understood or well communicated the project is unlikely to succeed. Documenting Software Architectures, Second Edition, provides the most complete and current guidance, independent of language or notation, on how to capture an architecture in a commonly understandable form. Drawing on their extensive experience, the authors first help you decide what information to document, and then, with guidelines and examples (in various notations, including UML), show you how to express an architecture so that others can successfully build, use, and maintain a system from it. The book features rules for sound documentation, the goals and strategies of documentation, architectural views and styles, documentation for software interfaces and software behavior, and templates for capturing and organizing information to generate a coherent package. New and improved in this second edition: Coverage of architectural styles such as service-oriented architectures, multi-tier architectures, and data models Guidance for documentation in an Agile development environment Deeper treatment of documentation of rationale, reflecting best industrial practices Improved templates, reflecting years of use and feedback, and more documentation layout options A new, comprehensive example (available online), featuring documentation of a Web-based service-oriented system Reference guides for three important architecture documentation languages: UML, AADL, and SySML

    A Field Guide to the Birds of Brazil
    Brazil's bird diversity is one of the richest in the world. And yet there has never been a comprehensive field guide to this splendid and elusive avifauna. Until now. The carefully vetted text and images are the first to cover the full range of bird life in this vast and varied country. The more than 1800 up-to-date accounts treat the Yellow-nosed Albatross to the Sombre Hummingbird, the Ash-throated Gnat-eater to the Black-bellied Whistling-Duck, Nighthawks and Jacamars to Motmots, Puffbirds, and Peppershrikes. They are all here-every species and many subspecies found in each region of Brazil-with special attention given to the 218 Brazilian endemics. The book is laid out so that the illustrations sit across from the commentary and the distribution maps, so it is easy to use. Also, the author uses short-hand notation throughout, to make the book compact and easy to carry when in the field. For each bird, the scientific, English, and Portuguese name are given as well as detailed information on measurement; identifying features; habitat; voice, song, and call. Distribution maps show the range for each species, also indicating seasonality and occurrence, essential for finding and identifying specific birds. From the equatorial North to the tropics, the introductory paragraphs set the stage in describing Brazil's varied biogeography, climate, geomorphology, and natural vegetation. A list of protected areas of Brazil, information on relevant national and international organizations, a bibliography and further references, and an English-Portuguese dictionary of frequently used terms enhance the user-friendly qualities. Anyone wishing to fully explore the fabulously varied bird life of Brazil will find this light-weight, easy-to-use, attractive guide an invaluable field companion.

    Begegnungen mit außereuropäischer Musik 2. EinFach Musik
    Der Band "Begegnungen mit außereuropäischer Musik II" erfüllt zwei Funktionen: Zum einen führt er in die Eigenarten von Musik ein, die außerhalb Europas beheimatet ist, aber Einfluss auf europäische Musik hatte. Zum anderen zeigt er Perspektiven des Handelns bei der Begegnung mit fremder Musik auf. Es wird einerseits deutlich, was durch die Annahme des Fremden gewonnen wird, andererseits zeigt sich aber auch, wie viel und was vom Eigenen der Preis dafür ist. So dient der Band dazu, am Beispiel des Umgangs mit Musik die Augen für Probleme der Integration des Fremden bzw. für Inter- und Transkulturalität zu öffnen.Das hier vorgelegte Unterrichtsmodell "Begegnungen mit außereuropäischer Musik II" ermöglicht oder erleichtert die Planung und Vorbereitung eines Musikunterrichts, der Zugänge zu Musik anderer Kulturen eröffnen möchte - zu einer Musik also, die früher als "exotisch", später auch als "Weltmusik" bezeichnet wurde. Er stellt einen besonderen Beitrag zur interkulturellen Musikdidaktik insofern dar, als er - fern von jeder Utopie - nicht die Konfrontation mit dem Fremden sucht, sondern einen behutsamen Weg wählt. Die Musiken anderer Kulturen - in diesem Band geraten Afrika, Nord-, Mittel-, Südamerika und Weltmusik in den Blick - werden eingeführt über musikalische "Begegnungen", die bereits stattgefunden haben: Kompositionen, die sich mit Musik anderer Kulturen auseinandersetzen, bilden den Einstieg in die jeweils fremde Musik. Dazu werden Stücke aus der Kunstmusik, aus dem Jazz und aus der Popmusik herangezogen. Damit werden mögliche "Schnittstellen" zwischen Eigenem und Fremdem vorgegeben, mit denen die Schülerinnen und Schüler sich ihrerseits auseinandersetzen.Für den methodischen Zugang werden verschiedenste Operatoren vorgeschlagen: Hören und beschreiben, musizieren, Umgang mit Notation und mit Texten, Informationen sammeln, Umsetzen in Bewegung und Bild. Auf Arbeitsblättern werden Materialien und Aufgaben bereitgestellt, der Haupttext enthält die entsprechenden Informationen und Lösungsvorschläge. Die beigefügte CD enthält Hörbeispiele mit exemplarischer, aber schwer zugänglicher Musik, daneben werden zahlreiche weitere Musikbeispiele aufgearbeitet. Der Band weist 20 Arbeitsblätter, 25 Hör- und 15 Musikbeispiele auf.Außerdem erschienen: "Begegnungen mit außereuropäischer Musik I - Vorderer Orient, Ferner Osten und Indien", Bestell-Nr. 018091

    Melody, Harmony, Tonality (eBook, ePUB)
    Where did the major scale come from? Why does most traditional non-Western music not share Western principles of harmony? What does the inner structure of a canon have to do with religious belief? Why, in historical terms, is J.S. Bach's music regarded as a perfect combination of melody and harmony? Why do clocks in church towers strike dominant-tonic-dominant-tonic? What do cathedrals have to do with monochords? How can the harmonic series be demonstrated with a rope tied to a doorknob, and how can it be heard by standing next to an electric fan? Why are the free ocean waves in Debussy's La Mer, the turbulent river waves in Smetana's Moldau, and the fountain ripples in Ravel's Jeux d'Eau pushed at times into four-bar phrases? Why is the metric system inherently unsuitable for organizing music and poetry? In what way does Plato's Timaeus resemble the prelude to Wagner's Das Rheingold? Just how does Beethoven's work perfectly illustrate fully functional tonality, and why were long-range works based on this type of tonality impossible before the introduction of equal temperament? In this new century, what promising materials are available to composers in the wake of harmonic experimentation and, some would argue, exhaustion? The answers to these seemingly complicated questions are not the sole province of music professors or orchestra conductors. In fact, as E. Eugene Helm demonstrates, they can just as easily be explained to amateurs, and their answers are important if we are to understand how Western music works. The full range of Western music is explored through 21 concise chapters on such topics as melody, harmony, counterpoint, texture, melody types, improvisation, music notation, free imitation, canon and fugue, vibration and its relation to harmony, tonality, and the place of music in architecture and astronomy. Intended for amateurs and professionals, concert-goers and conductors, Helm offers in down-to-earth language an explanation of the foundations of our Western music heritage, deepening our understanding and the listening experience of it for all.
