Ruth DeFords book explores how tactus; mensuration; and rhythm were employed to articulate form and shape in the period from c.1420 to c.1600. Divided into two parts; the book examines the theory and practice of rhythm in relation to each other to offer new interpretations of the writings of Renaissance music theorists. In the first part; DeFord presents the theoretical evidence; introduces the manuscript sources and explains the contradictions and ambiguities in tactus theory. The second part uses theory to analyse some of the best known repertories of Renaissance music; including works by Du Fay; Ockeghem; Busnoys; Josquin; Isaac; Palestrina; and Rore; and to shed light on composers formal and expressive uses of rhythm. DeFords conclusions have important implications for our understanding of rhythm and for the analysis; editing; and performance of music during the Renaissance period.

As a professional picture taker; I look for places to market photos. Photographers Market has always been a source I could count on and this years 2013 edition is no exception. This research and resource book outlines most; if not all the places that purchase pictures from free-lance photographers and other types of shutterbugs. From greeting card companies to art galleries to text book and paperback novels; this resource guide lists plenty of companies in need of your photos. it outlines the needs of each company; what they produce; and information about their specific needs and prices paid for services rendered. This book also has training materials to help you become a better entrepreneur to market your product to the various companies. It is well worth the investment; after seeing the potential returns it offers. If you do professional pictures; this may need to be in your library. I will be looking forward to the next edition when that time comes.5 of 5 people found the following review helpful. Patience is KeyBy Eric C JacksonThere are so many listings in this book (a good thing) that you need to narrow down what you specifically want to do as a photographer. This way youre not spending so much time looking at listings for places you will never work with. Look at what you want to do "before" really digging into this book; then search specifically for that. I like the breakdown of listings by subject; location; and categories. Still; it loses a star because some of the listings are out-of-date or really not what youre expecting when you go to the listed website. My advice is help the folks who put this together delete the lousy listings which will make more room for legitimate ones.22 of 24 people found the following review helpful. A must have book for stock; gallery or other photographers.By Ric TrexellI have been purchasing Photographers Market over the years and this one is the best I have seen. The first thing you will notice about the 2013 copy is that it is almost twice as big as some of the others. As a matter of fact a few years ago I wondered if they were going to stop printing this book as it was getting sort of small. This book starts with over a hundred pages of help for someone starting out in stock photography. Also; a few examples of photographers that are doing stock. The print is finer than other years so that shows there are more entries. If you are a first time buyer; P.M. will give you a list of what the magazines or other periodicals are looking for. Also; whom to contact and what not to show them as well as how to show them your work. Some places will still except 35mm slides to 4X5 negatives and even some will accept printed 8X10s. Most now are going to digital and some will only accept digital. There is a lot of info on the net about stock photography but this is a great starting point. This book also covers gallery sales and contests. Great book for the beginner or pro.
