- A Scientific Odyssey of Sound
153,95 kr. As an acoustic engineer, the author has spent his career eradicating unwanted noises - echoes in concert halls, clamour in classrooms. Until the day he heard something so astonishing that he had an epiphany: rather than quashing rare or bizarre sounds, we should be celebrating these sonic treasures. This title tells the story of his investigation.

138,95 kr. "You are my God, and I will give you thanks!" Psalm 118:28From the high peaks of praise to the depths of despairing valleys, the Psalms are full of emotions; humans grappling with their faith in everyday life. Yet in this incredible book of the Bible, despite human frailty, we see God, ever faithful, guiding our way. Drawing on not only the wisdom of the Psalms but also hymns that have stood the test of time, in his debut work, Rev. Trevor Cox has been inspired to write a devotional of daily meditations that leads readers on a journey through the Psalms - the Word that is a light to our paths. We are often so busy, and it can be hard to slow down and seek God's guidance. In this book of devotions, Rev. Cox's practical teaching format will encourage you to pause, meditate and reflect on God's word, so that we truly have a lamp to our feet.

278,95 kr. Mit dem Buch der Klänge führt uns der britische Wissenschaftler Trevor Cox in verborgene Hörwelten. Es weckt in uns das Verlangen, in einem Alltag, in dem das Visuelle so sehr dominiert, doch einmal genauer hinzuhören - und unsere Ohren für das wunderbare Klangdurcheinander um uns herum zu öffnen.Als Fachmann für technische Akustik hat sich Trevor Cox lange damit beschäftigt, unerwünschte Geräusche verschwinden zu lassen, ob Echos in Konzertsälen oder Lärm in Klassenzimmern. Eines Tages aber verschaffte ihm ein Ausflug in die Londoner Kanalisation ein erstaunliches Hörerlebnis - und die Erkenntnis: Statt seltsame Geräusche abzustellen, sollten wir die seltsamsten und bizarrsten akustischen Effekte zu schätzen lernen: als die Klangwunder unserer Erde.Das Buch der Klänge beschreibt seine Suche nach diesen Klangwundern. In der Mojave-Wüste besucht Cox singende Dünen. In Frankreich entdeckt er ein Echo, das zu Scherzen aufgelegt ist. In Kalifornien fährt er eine "singende" Straße entlang, die die Ouvertüre zu Wilhelm Tell erklingen lässt (wenn auch ziemlich schief). Und eine Entdeckung ist so beeindruckend, dass sie einen Eintrag ins Guinness-Buch der Rekorde verdient hat.
