Of all the repertories of Western Art music, none is as explicitly listener-oriented as that of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. Yet few attempts to analyze the so-called Classic Style have embraced the semiotic implications of this condition. Playing with Signs proposes a listener-oriented theory of Classic instrumental music that encompasses its two most fundamental communicative dimensions: expression and structure. Units of expression, defined in reference to topoi, are shown here to interact with, confront, and merge into units of structure, defined in terms of the rhetorical conventions of beginning, continuing, and ending. The book draws on examples from works by Mozart, Haydn, and Beethoven to show that the explicitly referential, even theatrical, surface of Classic music derives from a play with signs. Although addressed primarily to readers interested in musical analysis, the book opens up fruitful avenues for further research into musical semiotics, aesthetics, and Classicism.

Excerpt from Princeton University Library: American Library Association Visit, June 29, 1916 On the occasion of the Asbury Park meeting of the American Library Association, an invitation was extended by the University and by Mr. M. Taylor Pyne, Chairman of the New Jersey Public Library Commission, to visit Princeton. About 600 members accepted the invitation. In honor of this visit, a number of exhibitions were prepared by the University Library and the University Press. In connection with these exhibitions, it was stated that a souvenir book containing historical matter connected with the College, together with catalogue and description of exhibits, would be sent to all visitors expressing a wish. For same. This volume is being sent accordingly. It is made up largely of matter set up for other purposes and kept standing in bar form. A small amount only is unique to this volume.

Presented here is a condensed translation of Alexander Rustow's three-volume Ortsbestimmung der Gegenwart. This monumental work was widely acclaimed by critics throughout Europe as a major contribution to both historical and sociological scholarship. Recognized as one of the foremost exponents of neoliberal thought, and thus as one of the intellectual authors of West Germany's economic miracle," Rustow--in his magnum opus--tried to determine what social patterns and trends of thought enhance the human condition and what other patterns and trends lead to repression and barbarism.

Excerpt from Subject-Catalogue of the Library of the College of New Jersey, at Princeton The catalogue here presented differs from most others in consisting only of a list of topics alphabetically arranged. It is not meant to show whether we have a given author's book, unless under the topic upon which the book is written. The topic itself is the direct object; and looking there the student may expect to find titles of all the books, and parts of books, on that subject, belonging to the library. This index, then, is a sort of dictionary for many topics; naming the books which contain information sought; and the figures printed at the right of a title show the alcove and shelf where the book is located.

The ancient Athenians were "quarrelsome as friends, treacherous as neighbors, brutal as masters, faithless as servants, shallow as lovers--all of which was in part redeemed by their intelligence and creativity." Thus writes Philip Slater in this classic work on narcissism and family relationships in fifth-century Athenian society. Exploring a rich corpus of Greek mythology and drama, he argues that the personalities and social behavior of the gods were neurotic, and that their neurotic conditions must have mirrored the family life of the people who perpetuated their myths. The author traces the issue of narcissism to mother-son relationships, focusing primarily on the literary representation of Hera and the male gods and showing how it related to devalued women raising boys in an ambitious society dominated by men. "The role of homosexuality in society, fatherless families, working mothers, women's status, and violence, male pride, and male bonding--all these find their place in Slater's analysis, so honestly and carefully addressed that we see our own societal dilemmas reflected in archaic mythic narratives all the more clearly."--Richard P.
